Walt Hendrix: I had my share of parents, but Mrs. Flick was the Conniption Queen when she found this while cleaning her daughter's room! Now, I know what Tracy told her mother and I know what Mrs. Flick told me.

Dave Novotny: Her pussy gets so wet. Jim looks in shock at hearing this about one of his students

Scene shows Dave and Jim jamming to Jimi Hendrix while their wives are having coffee Dave and I hit it off instantly, as did his wife Linda with my wife Diane. In addition to being coworkers; they leased the house next to mine.

Dave: You know Tracy, I noticed you have no close friends.

Tracy: Really?

Dave: I didn't mean it to be critical. What I meant is it can be hard for most people to relate to someone as amazing as you.

Tracy: Gosh, thanks.

Dave: Tracy is inspiring my novel.

Jim: Novel? Since when did you write a novel?

Dave: I haven't. You see, it is in me. Tracy is bringing it out from me, so she can read it!

Jim: [about Dave sleeping with Tracy] Dave, I'm just saying this as your friend: What you're doing is really, really wrong... and you've gotta stop. The line you've crossed is... it's immoral... and it's illegal.

Dave: Jim, come on, I don't need a lecture on ethics.

Jim: I'm not talking about ethics, I'm talking about morals.

Dave: There's a difference?
