Nicky: I'm afraid of swans! Pepper Ann: ...Well, have you tried picturing them in their underwear? |
Nicky: Okay, are we swan-bonding, or what? |
Milo: Nicky, seeing the Flaming Snot 'Intimate Acoustic' tour is my life goal. If we don't get tickets, I will have failed that goal. I will be, a failure. |
Young Nicky: Why do you keep hitting me with that white, spherical object? |
Mrs. Little: [Becky] could never bench-press more than twenty pounds. Nicky: Is that why I always had to carry in the groceries? |
Milo: Their prices are clinically insane! |
Milo: C'mon, P.A., everyone knows that Becky's birthday is on the 8th. Pisces! |
