Peter: [referring to eye patch] My mom makes me wear it. She says my eye confuses people.
Owen: Well now you gotta show me.
[Peter removes eye patch to reveal askew lazy eye]
Owen: Hah, haw! Look at that thing! She wants you to hide that? Is she insane? I'd kill to have that eye.
Peter: [smiling] You're

full of shit.
Owen: Seriously, you know how many bits I could do with that? Daring people to look me straight in the eye? Ahhh...
[making a funny face]
Owen: That thing is awesome.

Susanna: When I was younger, my dad used to bring me down here to do this all the time. He'd fill my head with all these useless facts about ghost crabs. Like, did you know they're omnivorous? Basically, they eat both animals and vegetables. My mom jokes, "Leave it up to your dad to be interested in a creature that goes both ways."

Owen: I'm sorry. I'm developmentally challenged. Like bad. Nightmarey, special episode bad. I'm sorry.
Caitlin: It's alright. I was... I was a little frustrated. I mean, I just planned on being here for one summer, you know. And then, next thing you know it's three years. It had a lot to do with you. So... I just don't want to look back and regret that it

should have only been one summer.

Joan: Carry a laser down the road that I must travel!
Kip: Why would it be 'carry a laser'?
Joan: Because it's a song about outer space.

Lewis: [unwrapping farewell gift to reveal a large pool leaf-skimmer, then in sarcastic tone] Oh oh... Owen, you shouldn't have.
Owen: [sardonically] Yeah, I went to three different places in the water park to find that. You can use it to catch thunderclouds.

[Duncan talks with Susanna. Owen and Roddy see him, and are impressed. Owen talkes via the PA system]
Owen: Please report to the Administrative Offices International. Duncan, please report to the Administrative Offices International. I have to announce it over the PA as my voice won't carry that far. My throat suffered major damage during an intense make-out session with

Lewis' mom. She has a forked tongue and a touch of the herpes.
Lewis: [annoyed] I don't have a mom. I have two dads. In your face.
Owen: Hurry, hurry.
Duncan: [to Susanna] Hold on a second.
[Susanna nods. Duncan approaches Owen and Roddy]
Owen: Please. Hurry up. This is pressing, pressing.

Urgent. I can't tell you how pressing. You can't fathom how pressing. How's it going? What's up? Did you need something?
Duncan: No.
Owen: Who's that, big guy?
Duncan: Just a girl.
[Owen and Roddy chuckle]
Roddy: You stallion, you!
Duncan: I don't know. She's older than

me.
[Owen and Roddy are even more impressed]
Roddy: So... what are you doing over here talking to us and not over there, sealing the deal with that cougar?
Duncan: [smiles] Well, maybe, Roddy, if you guys hadn't called me over here...
Owen, Roddy: [chuckle] Oooo!
[Duncan returns to Susanna]


Owen: [talks on the PA system] Return to your lady friend. Duncan, please return to your lady friend. Please let her know that this conversation was entirely about her. In other news, this is very awkward for you.

Betty: So, do you think you will? Pam?
Pam: Do I think I will what?
Betty: Talk to the Keegans.
Pam: Oh, I don't know. I don't even know them.
Betty: Do if you want to, but just know that I'm mad at them. I don't even want to get into why.
[turns to go, but immediately changes

mind]
Betty: They called me a See-You-Next-Tuesday. To my face.

Betty: Oh, and Bob, that's my ex-husband. Finally came out of the closet. Not a shock. Let's just say that, in bed, his favorite view was the back of my head.

Betty: Duncan, I thought you and Peter should hang out this summer. Lord knows he brought enough of those Star Wars dolls.
Peter: They're action figures! And they're classics!
Betty: [exasperatedly] Please.
Peter: They lose value if I take them out of the box. But we can still have awesome battles with them.


Betty: [to Duncan] He needs human contact. He's having far too many conversations with those dolls.

Susanna: I'd avoid the clams if I were you. They're one of the many casualties of my father's absence.
Duncan: Oh.
[then puts a single clam on his plate]
Duncan: Just because your mom will see my plate.
Susanna: Well, it's your funeral.

Caitlin: [angrily] What are you doing?
Owen: [laughing] What did I do? Having fun. It's all good. Nobody got hurt.
Caitlin: It's not all good! You can't do that. That is the reason that places like this get shut down.
Owen: [to teenager Malcolm] Is it me, or is she very sexy right now?

Malcolm: She's certainly got my attention.
Owen: Right... you're an impressive man. I want to be you when I grow up.
Caitlin: I'm so tired of this guy. Aren't you tired? Aren't you sick of yourself? I'm sick of it! I'm sick of who I am around you. I'm sick of having to be this person. I'm not this person.

Owen: Come on, I'm just messing around.
Caitlin: No! That's why...
[referring to their relationship]
Caitlin: that's why this doesn't happen. This is just a job now. I wish this wasn't just a job.
