"Is your wife having her bear period?" "CLEVELAND:" "Oh, gross." " Why would you say that?" "Let me get the next round." "I'm still playing with that sweet bonus." "Oh, actually, Cleveland, do you think I could use the $5 you would spend on that beer maybe for a sandwich for me?" "Seriously?" "What, am I buying rounds of food now?" "[LAUGHING]" "Hey, I tell you what, Tim you show us your bear penis and I'll buy you a whole steak." "[LAUGHING]" "Hey, Yogi." "Is it bigger than the average bear's?"

"You're a good man, Cleveland Brown, covering for your friend." "And I am proud to be your wife." "But we're in trouble, Donna." "I'll probably get fired for this." "And what if you go to jail?" "The thought of my man in prison, lifting rusty weights all day getting hard, fighting for his life in the shower all soaped up and shiny..." "[SIGHS THEN MO ANS]" "Mm-hm." "Beating down a man for fronting me in the yard." "Oh, yeah." "I mean, who the hell does he think he is anyway?" " What makes him think I won't cut him?" " Oh, Cleveland." "[TIRES SCREECH]" "CLEVELAND:" "Okay, flip me over." "I'll be the girl first." "DONNA:" "What?" " This is prison we're talking about." "Hey, Junior, Roberta and I think you're obsessively cleaning everything because you have some unresolved issues about your parents' divorce." "I'm totally fine with the divorce." "As a matter of fact, I've never even cried about it." "Not one tear." "What?" "Why would I cry?" "I mean, nobody died." "Just a family." "A family died." "That's all it is." "A dead family." "That boy's in denial." "He's got to get it out." "You know, it's not like he doesn't have plenty of reasons to cry." "Yeah." "He's so fat, he'll probably die in his 40s." "Rallo, that's mean." "What if he heard you say that?" "He'd probably cry." "What's the name of that Jewish comedian?" " Don Rickles?" " Get him on the phone." "Oh, man." "Has Waterman talked to you yet?" "Not yet." "I hope he doesn't fire me." "I should be the one getting fired." "Fired by Jesus Christ, our lord and savior." "Big deal." "You showed your penis for food." "We all been there." "No, I was so jealous of Cleveland's success that I prayed to Jesus that something bad would happen to him." "I'm so sorry, Cleveland." "Tim, you are dumb." "Out of pity, I accept your apology." "Bye-bye." "Cleveland, I'm sorry, but I can't tolerate the destruction of company property." "The truck is one thing." "But if anything had happened to Terry, well, I..." "I don't know what I would've..." "This company would have done." "He's a good worker, a good man, a strong robust, tastefully cologned man." "Okay." "Here's your tea, Mr. Waterman." "Oh." "The point is, Cleveland, I'm afraid I have to let you go." "Oh, that's too bad." "I sure am gonna miss Terry." "He and I go a long way back." "We were on the swim team together." " Did he wear a Speedo?" " Yes, he wore a Speedo." "That is, when you could get him to put on a bathing suit." "Hey, Junior." "Get in here for a minute." " What's going on?" " We decided it's high time you cried." "But we got to ease you into it." "Good evening." "And welcome to the Roast of Cleveland Brown Jr." "A man so huge, his butt has its own zip code."

"Well, let's not be too hasty." "It's possible I overreacted." " I assume you're sorry." "You're sorry, right?" " Very." "And if you stayed, you could tell me stories." "Say, one every morning over tea?" "Stories that, you know, Mrs. Waterman wouldn't need to hear." "Stories that only a man should hear." "Well, if I come back, I'd like to work with Terry as an installer." "I don't wanna be chained to a desk." "Plus, Tim's your salesman." " The bear?" " Yeah, you don't wanna lose him." "In fact, you should give him a raise." " Have you seen his wienie?" " I have." " Me too." "Magnificent." " Isn't it weird?" "Isn't it weird?" "Yes." "[GRUNTING]" "I don't know how you got out of it, but you did." "So, what's the plan, amigo?" "You're getting laid, I'm getting paid and we're doing it drunk." " All right!" " Whoo!"
