Quotes 

• Al Bundy : Hey. Tapes. Look, The Predator, Dirty Harry... Judy's Huge Date?

  Marcy Rhoades : Those are private tapes, Al.

  Al Bundy : Well, why can't we get tapes like these, Peg?

  Peggy Bundy : They're VHS, Al.

  Marcy Rhoades : Well, of course they're VHS. Only an idiot would own Beta.

  Peggy Bundy : Or someone who believes a woman's orgasm is brought on by yelling, "Come on, will ya?"

• Steve Rhoades : Uh, listen, Marcy, um, I've been thinking. We don't have the Bundys over at our house nearly enough.

  Marcy Rhoades : That's your rule, Steve. Remember the speech that began, quote, "I'd watch a colorized version of Casablanca before I let those..."

  Steve Rhoades : Yeah, I know, I know. Um... But I just think it would be a nice gesture for us to share our VHS format with our neighbors and good friends, the Bundys. Uh, what do you say, guys?

  Al Bundy : Well, pigeon is better the second day. Let's go!

  [Peggy and Al head over to the Rhoades' house] 

  Marcy Rhoades : What's this all about, Steve?

  Steve Rhoades : Nothing. I just want to spend an evening or two with good friends.

  Bud Bundy : Hey, Kel, some guy's gonna beat the tar out of Mr. Rhoades.

  Kelly Bundy : Oh, cool!

  [Bud and Kelly leaves] 

  Steve Rhoades : And... then there's that.

• Al Bundy : Oh, Peg, don't turn on the tape yet. I got to go to the can.

  [Al leaves] 

  Marcy Rhoades : Oh, no! There go our pipes!

  Steve Rhoades : I'll, uh, get the goldfish out before it's too late.

  [Steve leaves] 

  Marcy Rhoades : Get our toothbrushes, too!

  [to Peg] 

  Marcy Rhoades : Should we really be worried?

  Peggy Bundy : Yes. But I'd leave the goldfish in there. It's a good way to test the air before you attempt re-entry. We used to use parakeets, but then they learned how to talk and started screaming for help.

  Marcy Rhoades : Uh, I meant should I be worried about the man who's stalking my husband?

  Peggy Bundy : Not if you leave the bathroom door open.

• Steve Rhoades : Well, it's only a car, but the memory of that punch will last me a lifetime.

  Marcy Rhoades : You were so brave, Steve.

  [the Bundys laugh silently] 

  Marcy Rhoades : Ignore them. I think you proved your courage once and for all by beating up that... little man.

  Al Bundy : Yeah, just think what you could do to a second-grader now.
