"Kelso, I thought you werere creating the scene." "I'm taking the scene in a new direction." "Okay, okay, let's just get to The part where she threw the ring." "Okay." "So... what we're gonna do here is we're gonna throw an mm into the woods in place of the ring." "Wherever it lands, we'll search there first." "Fez, give him the mms, man." "Yeah, about that... whose dumb idea was it tolet me hold the mms?" "All right." "Instead of the candy, we will throw my keys into the woods." "Oh, crap." "I just threw my keys into the woods!" "Sure did." "Why didn't somebody say something?" "So that you'd throw your keys into the woods." "Oh, that's a good burn." "I had very little to do with it." "Okay, bob, what the hell are you doing up on your roof?" "Hiding from my girlfriends." "This afternoon we were all talking about our favorite juices." "Pam said her favorite juice was cranberry." "Midge said she liked apple." "To avoid trouble, I said my favorite was cran-apple." "They viewed that as cheating, and now I'm on the roof." "Kitty and I think that you should choose between pam and midge." "And when I say : "kitty and I", I mean just kitty." "And when I say : "choose between pam and midge"," "I mean choose pam." "It's tough." "I really love pam." "But midge is donna's mother." "How can I turn my back on that?" "Look, just give me a name." "I gotta take something back to kitty." "So don't go home." "Stay here." "I'm not gonna spend the day hiding on the roof like a damn pigeon." "I got beer." "Well, it is peaceful up here." "All right, did anybody find anything?" "I found a pair of my sister's panties." "I knew they were hers because they had her name and phone number in them." "A girl's gotta advertise." "You guys, I'm starving, okay?" "I haven't eaten all day." " Here." " Oh." "Oh, thanks, fez." "Yeah, good cheetos." "Really?" "'Cause I found the min the woods, and they were damp." "Like something peed on them." "Awesome!" "Eric ate pee-tos!" "Okay, look, I don't wanna start anything, but had you bought donna a decent-sized diamond, we would have found it by now." "The ring was pretty small, man." "Whenever I saw it, I thought donna was really far away." "She was standing right next to me." "Yeah, when I first saw it, I said, "donna, there's dust on your ring."" "Then I realized that was the ring." "Guys, guys, stop." "If we don't find it soon, a mosquito's going to eat it." "Okay, I love the ring." "It was petite, not showy." "Thank you." "Well, you know, donna has a thing for miniatures." "Okay, you guys, enough about the ring." "Obviously, it was enough for me to pay for my year off." "And according to "Esquire", sweater vest are in." "Wow..." "Jackie, help." "Oh, get away!" "You touched pee-tos!" "He touched pee-tos!" "you know what?" "Falling off that water tower was a sign." "The minute I stopped working hard, I accomplished exactly what I needed to do." "I found the ring." "And if you're gonna land on a diamond, it's best to land on the smallest one ever made." "Well, I'm afraid your school yard insults have no power here, child." "I'm a whole new me... tougher, braver and... louder!" "I'm gonna tell my dad what's what and get my gosh-darn fried chicken." "Okay, donna, here's the situation." "I have to choose between pam and midge, and it's a very personal and intimate decision that only I can make." "It's really scary, so I'd like you to do it." "Dad, I can't choose for you." "Come on, you choose my shirts." "Choose my lady love." "Mom, where are you going?" "Bob," "I saw how hard you struggled to get on the roof earlier." "What with the kicking and the wiggling," "I realized it was time for me to go home and give you and midge a chance." " You're one fine lady." " I'll miss you, bob." "And, honey, it's scary to be on my own, but if you come with me, I know I can do it." "Oh, mom, I would love to come home with you!" "Oh, good." "You're the only one who can explain things to the maid." "Okay," "I'm here to earn my dinner." "What am I doing about donna?" "We're hanging out." "What am I doing about my job?" "I quit." "What am I doing about my future?" "Nothing." "When am I moving out?" "Make me." "Hey, uh, fez, I think I have something in my eye." "Is it donna's engagement ring?" "No, no, it's too big for that." "Hey, maybe we should get some doctors' masks so we don't accidentally inhale donna's ring." "Okay, okay, donna, you thought the engagement ring was big enough, right?" "Burn!" " I didn't say anything." " So say something." " It could have been bigger." " Burn!"
