Who	What
Mike Kevin Ralph	We're back for more in '04 Hoo-ah Hoo-ah
Marge	It's the lighting. Normally, I'm very shrewd at this game.
Susan B	Ron, your stragety is a tragedy.
Al Kevin Al	You have to pummel Dennis. We have to set him. We have to pummelset him.
Kevin Al Kevin	Look, Dennis used Appendix B6. Sub-paragraph 18. Addendum 2a.
>	Al went down and declared "Uno" before anyone else even picked up their cards.
Kevin	To split a run, refer to Rule 67, Page 42, Section B, Sub-section BB, Paragraph 3, Addendum 1a.
Al	I'm stuffed like a crouton.
Al	Ralph, you got smameeded.
Al Al	Anyone want that card? I'll take it.
Kevin	I'm thinkin' of ooofah now, if I take this.
Kevin Ronnie Kevin	I'm a little short I always thought so, but Jonna says no. No more white zin for you!
Barbara Kevin Ralph Mike	Let's teach Ralph how to play Phase 10 Ralph, it requires less thinking than this game. We need a game with less thinking? Hard to imagine.
Ralph	Two runs. Two hits. No errors.
Kevin Al	Do you want that card? No, baby. No, sweetheart.
Ronnie	This is is going nowhere. Not to Altoona. Not to Saskatchewan.
Ronnie	No more liquor for anybody.
Al Kevin	Sorry, Michael. I have to say "sorry" every once in awhile, right? Even if you don't mean it.
Ralph	I guess it just wasn't in the cards.
Kevin Kevin Al	I just played the hand that was dealt me. I just let the cards fall where they may. God have mercy on us all.
Al Al	This is an ugger. Hockapoof.
Kevin Ralph	I gotta start somewhere. Build it up, Buttercup.
Al	I'm just a love slave.
Ronnie	Look at these threeple down.
Al	The guts have been taken out of me.
Kevin Mike	No comments tonight, Mike? No, I've decided that none of you are funny.
Kevin	It's the hat.
Al	You don't want something good, Barbara? Here you go.
Al	Most of the things I say have no meaning at all.
Kevin Mike	Do you want to play a practice hand? I think we've had just about enough practice by now, don't you?
Al Al	Boom Boom Beck. Shoot the puck. I love the hatchet. Jonna's looking at us like we've lost our minds. You know, there may be some truth to that. It�s a freakin' circus.
Kevin Al	Al's going out. No I'm not. I'm out.
Kevin	Panic, anyone?
Al Kevin	None of this chatter is for public domain. What does anything mean, anyway?
Al	Ooh, I love it when you get so masculine.
Al Kevin	As Kevin says, "It's not everyone's game." I haven't said that since I was six.
Barbara	I should have been given special dip-sensation.
Al Kevin	That was so pungent, it was sub-zero. Is that like below negative?
Al Ralph	Did you see that kid on the news that won the national spelling bee? Yeah, the poor kids are under such pressure -- the loser has to learn Continental.
Barbara	That was beautorious.
Al Kev	This game is humbling. I think you should be mumbling.
Jonna Al	It's so sad to be me. I feel really bad for you, Jonna, and I never say that to anyone.

Joe Ronnie Kevin Mike	What's this hand? Two cassettes and a run Two wonnies and a joker? Set 'n 'em up
Ronnie Joe Mike	You have one card, Joe? I wee [after picking a card from the discard pile instead of the intended stock pile, turned it over to put it into his hand, and seeing only the colored back of the card] What just happened?
Ronnie Joe	Cards shuffled? Bricked up.
Kevin Kevin	Miguel. Cazanot eyene? Mikey, Mikey, Motorcikey.

Kevin Mike	I have to read the comments. I wonder if they're funny.
Kevin	My shoulders are turning pink.
Joe	It's a funny game with three.
Kevin Joe	I deal? It's less than ideal.
Mike	Oof me that now.
Rick	I didn't want that card. I'm just practicing reaching.
Susan B	Are you trying?
Al Kevin	I'm as dead as a doornail. You and me both, dead boy.
Al	Don't penalize him; he's married.
Kevin	There could've been scoopin' goin' on, big time.
Kevin	Nine is to three as ten is to four.
Mike Barbara	I can't tell if I'm drinking anything; the sun's in my eyes. The sun is abating.

Al	Are we progressing, or retrogressing?
Kevin	I'm down and I'm gonna get stuck.
Ronnie Ronnie	The good news is: the cards I needs are still out there. The bad news is: the cards I needs are still out there.
Kevin	I'm out of it. I'm adamant.
Kevin	What the hell's wrong with us?
Ronnie	I have to get rid of more cards than I've got.
Al Barbara Kevin Barbara	Are you down to one card? No. How many you got? One.
Al	What am I gonna say? You can't teach the lime and the blame.
Al Kev	Sometimes there are some dysfunctional streaks, and I'm catchin' em. Catchin' em? You're pitchin' 'em!
Al Kevin	She's got a lot of baggage. Baggage? She's got trunks!
> >	Looking for two sets, Mike was dealt the worst hand possible: A 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Looking for three runs and out, Kevin went down with the best hand possible: all three jokers
Al Ronnie Joe Mike	Anybody want that? I don't even know what the hell it is. Wow, there's a lot of hellin' goin' around tonight. Who's Helen?
Al	The only thing that would help me is if I got amnesia and forgot this game.

Al	[to Ronnie]: Good night, Robin.

Al	Kevin, you're such a fiduciary character
Barbara Al	It's two runs and a kazoozie Oh my God, I am heartily sorry
Barbara Dennis Mike	How can you mix drinks like that? A vodka tonic then a beer? Years of practice The only thing we have to fear is beer itself
Al	Ooh, that hits me right in the ol' labonz
Crys	Hone, why do you have so many cards in your hand, when everyone else has just three?
Dennis	[in the middle of the second hand] Hey, we're plaing another game?
Kevin	Where's Robin when we need her?
Joe Dennis	I wonder if Ray sits next door and records all these comments? I doubt it, because we're not funny
