Quotes 

• [after Raj, Dwayne, Rerun, and Dee learn about bootlegging, Rerun opts out on recording the Doobie Brothers concert, but Al Dunbar refuses when Rerun tells the gang after he wasn't supposed to. Al, his goon Bruno, and the gang are at Rob's Place] 

  Al Dunbar : [angry to Rerun]  Uh-uh, uh-uh. Now look, there ain't no way that you are gonna back out of this, "Fathead"!

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : [In a man's voice]  Now LISTEN! I will blow the whistle on this whole operation. I am with the press.

  Al Dunbar : Oh, yeah? What paper?

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : [under his breath]  The Jefferson High Gazette.

  Al Dunbar : The who?

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : [normal voice; nervous]  The Jefferson High School Gazette.

  Al Dunbar : Boy, you better sit down and pay attention.

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : Yes, sir.

  Al Dunbar : Now look, since your "friend" opened up his big mouth, you are all, all of you, in this together.

  Dwayne Nelson : [defiant]  UH-UH!

  Bruno : What did you say?

  Dwayne Nelson : [relents himself]  Uh-huh.

  Al Dunbar : [to Dwayne]  Now, uh, first, now you, you turn the, uh, recorder on and off, right?

  [then to Raj] 

  Al Dunbar : And you...

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : Uh, Mr. Dunbar, we really can't do this.

  Al Dunbar : [frustrated]  Okay, kids, if you really can't do it, it's... it's fine with me. But see, you're gonna have to tell brother Bruno here he's not gonna get paid.

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : Um, brother Bruno, would you please pull up a chair so I can talk to you?

  Bruno : Sure.

  [Bruno rips out a "greasy spoon" from the counter, convincing the three to "bootleg" the concert] 

  Roger 'Raj' Thomas : You said I push this for "Record", right?

  Al Dunbar : Yeah, that's right.
