" [ Squeals ]" " A minute is all I will need." " Wait." "Then you are a big disappointment, Emilio." " I'll be right back." " Where areyou going?" "I'm gonna go to Chinatown and get some of those big, black, squiggly mushrooms." " Can I useyour car?" " Honey, I told you, it's our car." "You don't have to ask every timeyou want to use it." " Mmm, great." " Oh, uh,just one thing." "Last timeyou used the car, you, uh, reset the trip odometer." "Yeah." "Did you know that "The Long and Winding Road"... is 6.7 miles long?" " No." " And the "Highway to Hell"... is exactly a half a mile shorter?" " Isn't that weird?" " It's just that I was... using the trip odometer to calculate gas mileage." " Cool." " And rememberto set the parking brake." " The transmission's not a kickstand." " No, it's not." "Areyou going to get any ofthose spicy little Chinese crackers?" " You want some?" " No, it's just last time, you opened them in the car... and the crumbs worked theirway into the seat crevice." " Sorry." " It's okay." "It's okay." "Ifyou need it, there's a little DustBuster in the trunk." "It plugs right into the cigarette lighter." " Check." " Oh, and when you're done... just put it back in the trunk organizer between the flares and the spare washer fluid." " Honey?" " Mm-hmm?" "I loveyou, but bite me." "Hey, look at this one." "Duel air bags, antilock brakes, good mileage." " It's got everything." " Cool." "Let's get it." "Slow down, slow down." "Doyou like the color?" "It doesn't matter." "I'm gonna cover it with glitter anyway." "So, you lookin' to buy a car today?" "Maybe." "What's the price?" " Honey, the price is right here." " Dharma" " Dha" "Let me do this." "Here's what I'm willing to pay for the car." "[ Laughs ] Boy, oh, boy." "I can't even show this to my manager." "Well, that's all we can afford." " Geez, Greg, you make it sound like we're poor." " Dharma" "All right." "Sinceyourwife is such a lovely lady- [ Clicks Tongue ]" "let me see what I can do." "[ Mutters ]" "Okay, right now, he's pretending to talk to his manager." "When he comes back out, he'll pretend to be upset and give us a lower price." "We say, "No, thanks," and we pretend to leave." "He stops us, offers us an even better price, but, of course, we won't take it." "I'm confused." "Are we still buying a car?" "All right." "I talked with my manager." "He's not happy about this, but I thinkyou will be." "Folks, we are not making a penny on this car. [ Chuckles ]" " No deal." " Hey, Dharma, that's pretty good." "No, I can't letyou do a deal whereyou don't make any money." "No, that just wouldn't- No, that wouldn't be right." "Look" " Look, you know, I-I am making some money on it." "Yeah." "So when you said you weren't making any money, you were lying?" "It's okay, because we knew he was lying." "You knew he was lying, and you didn't do anything about it?" " Well, no." " You think that helps him?" " Listen, folks, I" " No, I'm sorry." "I don't mean to pry... but wereyou raised with any particular religious tradition?" "Presbyterian." "Okay." "Well, I don't know all the details about that... but, I mean, there's rules there about lying, right?" " Yeah." " And how does that makeyou feel?" "I'm sorry." "I-I don't want to lie." "I" " I wanna be an honest person, but, ma'am, I've got kids to feed." " Doyou really?" " No." "I just can't stop lying." "[ Muttering ]" "It'll be okay." "It'll be okay." "Abby, I can't believe you're making meat." "I know." "Well, your in-laws are coming to dinner for the first time... and I want it to be special." "I'm sorry, sister cow." "[ Disgusted Groan ]" "Hey, Greg, your old man still got that bad back?" " Yeah, why?" " I found my ergonomic chair." "Thankyou, Larry."

"So, uh, did, uh, Dharma tell you we went car shopping today?" " Why doyou need a second car?" " Well, we don't, really." "I keep telling her she can always use my car- our car." "Hey, Larry, what's the name ofyour friend who's a dealer?" "He's in jail." " The car dealer." " Same guy." "Abby, what is this unusual condiment?" " Oh, it's chutney." " Mmm!" " She pickles her own." " Mmm." "How delightful." "Yeah." "Uh, we have a canning circle this Friday... and you're welcome to come ifyou like." " I could showyou how to makeyour own." " I'll driveyou." "Edward, dear, surelyyou recall that we're busy on Friday night." "My art foundation is hosting the opening ofthe Salazar installation." " Salazar?" " Mm-hmm." " Abby?" " Yeah?" "Didn'tyou used to date that guy?" "Oh, I'm sure this is a different person." " This is Salazar, the artist." " No, the same guy." "We have one ofhis sculptures out in the backyard."

"Dad, haveyou tried the cabbage chips?" "I'm talking to your father-in-law, Son." " I know, and I wish you wouldn't." " It's okay." "I'm cool that Abby's been with other men." "It's not like I didn't have mywild days too." "Yeah." "You dated Mama Cass, right?" "Sort of." "I drove her home from the Fillmore one night... when she passed out." "Finkelstein, ifiyou're so all-fiired cool about this Salazar guy... why don't you come on down to the opening?" " Sure." "Fine." "I will." " It's a charity event."

"Powered by a nine-liter engine, fully automatic, four-wheel drive." "Comfortably seats 24 adults... or 38 sixth-graders." "This was your father's idea, wasn't it?" "No, actually, he thought it was a little impractical." "Dharma, Larry thought it was impractical." " Doesn't that tell you something?" " Uh-huh." "He's jealous." " Hey, come on." "Let's go for a ride." " All right!" " Whoo-hoo!" " You bought a school bus." " Get over it!" " All right." "You ready,Jane?" " We gotta back this thing up." " I'm on it."

"[ Swooshing ]" "Dharma, do you think we should call it a day?" "Oh, yeah, maybe we should." " Unless you wanna drive." " Really?" "I've never driven a school bus." "It's fun." "It's like driving an ice-cream truck... except we don't sell drugs." "[Ends ]" "Hey, this guy's tailgating' me." "[ Horn Honking ]" "Okay, watch this." "Stop the bus." "We could keep him here for days." " Wow!" " "Wow," good or "wow"..." "I have something hanging out of my nose?" " "Wow," good." " Thankyou." "Okay, let's go." "We gotta gas up the bus." "Dharma, we can't take the bus to an art opening." "Oh, come on, Greg." "Picture the look on your mother's face... when we come rolling up in Old Yeller." "[Horn Honking]" "Oh, dear God!" "See?" "There's the face." " That's a great face." " It's not the "Hey, Mom..." "I married Dharma" face, but it's right up there." "[ Swooshing ]" " Would you like me to park this foryou, ma'am?"

"I admit it's been a lot offun, but it's not really a practical second car." "Practical?" "Honey, did you forget whoyou married?" "How about this?" "How about we get a sport utilityvehicle... or a small R.V. in a reallyweird color?" " Anything but a bus." " You don't understand." "Okay, listen." "When I was growing up, I was homeschooled." "And every day, that bus drove, by filled with kids..." "Iaughing and screaming, and I never got to go on the bus." "Dharma, by that logic, we should live in a schoolhouse." "That's a great idea." "No!" "'Cause then we could have assemblies and school plays!" "I'd like a brandy Alexander." "What kind ofa girlie drink is that?" "You're right." "Make it a sloe gin fizz."
