"This is police Lieutenant Joe Swanson." "I know we can work this out." "Not him again." "I hope this place isn't wheelchair accessible." "Bonnie, it's Peter." "Don't worry." "Joe's an excellent negotiator." "I was a virgin when we met." "It took him three hours." "I can't believe my dad is in there." "This'II probably scar me for the rest of my Iife."

"One day I shall unlock the secret of that device." "And when I do, Mother, victory shall be" "Peter, you had us so worried." "What on earth were you trying to prove?" "I'm sorry." "Joe is a great guy." "I guess I was just tired of him being your hero." "Peter, Joe is a hero." "But he's not our hero." "You are." "really?" "Yeah." "You're always right there on the couch for us, making us laugh when we're upset." "Changing the channel when something boring comes on." "Eating the Iast slice of pizza so the rest of us don't fight over it." "Yeah, Daddy." "If you hadn't pulled this stunt I wouldn't know how to manipulate Kevin."
