Quotes 

• [Chas wears a headband and tank top whilst carrying a book and wearing a drum around his neck] 

  Charles "Chas" Finster : So, what do you think?

  Stu Pickles : Nice look, Chas. What's with the drum?

  [they go outside; Didi sits in a rocking chair on the front porch as she gives Dil his bottle] 

  Didi Pickles : Charles! What on earth?

  Charles "Chas" Finster : Well, I bought this book: Nerd to Neanderthal in Five Easy Steps.

  [opens the book] 

  Charles "Chas" Finster : In Chapter Four, it says, "A primative drum beat speeds up the cave-manification of the mild-mannered man."

  [chuckles and he closes the book] 

  Charles "Chas" Finster : I hope so. I'd like to find my inner caveman before I catch a cold. Well, I'm off to the woods.

• Stu Pickles : That cabin is so flimsy, there isn't even anything to keep out the elements.

  Tommy Pickles : Elephants? Why was my daddy talking about elephants?

• ["The Old Country"; first lines] 

  Stu Pickles : Don't make me go, Deed. I'm begging ya.

  Didi Pickles : Honestly, Stu! You're acting like going to Mom and Dad's cabin for the weekend is some kind of torture!

  Stu Pickles : No electricity, no indoor plumbing. We might as well stay in Spike's doghouse! Why do they rent that shack every year?

  Didi Pickles : I think it reminds them of when they were young, you know, like in the Old Country.

• ["The Jungle"; first lines] 

  Didi Pickles : Oh, Stu! Wouldn't these orchids look beautiful where the shed used to be?

  Stu Pickles : Oh, sure, Deed, if we lived in the Amazon. What that spot *really* needs is good, old Kentucky bluegrass. Acres and acres of it spreading from our back door to... well, you know, the fence.

  Lou Pickles : *I* say we ought to grow somethin' you can eat, like corn or soy beans.

  [Stu shoots Lou a confused look] 

  Lou Pickles : You can make most anything out of soy beans, you know.
