- Brandon Walsh: Sure beats the first Christmas out here in California.
- Cindy Walsh: What are you talking about? The first Christmas here was lovely.
- Brandon Walsh: Talk about a selective memory!
- Brenda Walsh: Really, mom have you completely forgotten what happened that year? We were in the middle of a heat wave and a drought, Brandon and Dad brought home that sick tree and you were incredibly homesick.
- Steve Sanders: Nat, why is it that every Christmas there is something major going on in my life? Two years ago I ran away on a bus to New Mexico to find my birth mother, turns out she is dead. Last year I break into the school to try to change my grades and I almost got expelled.
- Nat Bussichio: Are you telling me, that you are in the same hot water again?
- Steve Sanders: It ain't pretty Nat. I got busted breaking into a professor's office.
- [Nat glares at him]
- Brandon Walsh: [about whether or not the plane will crash] I'm just not ready to check out just yet!
