[Red talks to Kelso in the garage over his relationship with Laurie]

Red

What you want to do is fly in under my radar, so that if I don't see you and Laurie together, or even mention her name in the same breath, I might just forget that you even exist, got it?

Yeah, so if you mean me and Laurie -

Red

Oh no, now, you just mentioned my daughter's name.

Ok, so if Kelso and your daughter -

Red

No no, see...that's not gonna work either.

This is hard, Red!

Red

Yeah, you're gonna be here 'till you get it right, Kelso!

Okay Red, but eventually my parents are gonna come looking for me.

Red

[threatening voice] Yeah, but they're not gonna find ya! Oh, that's another joke. Come on laugh, Kelso! [Kelso begins to cry]

Red

I'm cracking down. And I'm cracking down hard! Starting right now, fun time is over! [stalks out of the kitchen]

So where was I for fun time?

[while family is watching The Brady Bunch]

Hey did you see the one where Mr. Brady went insane and put bells on all the doors?

Red

Did you see the one where Greg was being a real wise ass and Mr. Brady took him outside and cleaned his clock?

Did you see the one where I hate living here?

That's my favorite.

[Red and Eric are summoned to testify about Earl's wrongful termination suit against Red]

I guess "violent" is the wrong word... but, you know, it's definitely some kind of rage. Although, I mean, you know, Earl had it coming. I love you, Daddy.

EEarl

[enters room panting] Oh, hey. Sorry I'm late.

MMediator

Hour and 10 minutes late. I can only assume you're Earl.

EEarl

Yeah. So, um, sorry. My, uh, dog got hit by a...a guy in a....

Red

Car?

EEarl

Thanks, Red. So, what'd I miss?

MMediator

You missed everything. Okay. I'm not gonna lie. Mr. Forman, you...you scare the living hell out of me. No offense.

Red

None taken.

That's kind of his thing.

MMediator

But, Earl, in light of your failure to show up for your own hearing... we have no choice but to rule in favor of Mr. Forman.

Red

Yes, sir!

Way to go, Dad!

EEarl

Damn... dog.

MMediator

And Mr. Forman, even though this hearing did go your way today...in light of some of your son's responses... I would strongly encourage you to go to anger management classes.

Red

Sure, I'll...I'll do that [Mediator leaves with Earl close behind]

Neat! Anger management. That sounds like it could be kind of fun, right? We...We won. Hey! You and me...We're such a good team. Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah. We did it. How about us, huh? Stickin' it to the man.

Red

[obviously angry] I'll see you at home. [leaves room]

Wait. But, Dad, we...we drove here together!

Look what I've got!

Ew. What's that?

That is Marissa. Carol's baby. And you promised me last night that you'd babysit her.

Last night? But I was drunk. Why can't you do it?

Because you promised. And besides your father and I are having fondue and Parcheesi at the Pinciottis'.

Red

Oh? Then I'll do it.

No. Laurie can watch this baby tonight.

Oh, look Laurie, a baby. And just in time for your Black Mass!

Red

Eric, what did I tell you about calling your sister the devil?

That it's offensive to the devil?

[Red is making good progress with his barbecue war against Bob]

Well, we've gone through three batches of Ambrosia salad.

Red

Three batches! Not since D-Day has there been such a complete and glorious victory. [laughs. Donna approaches] Oh uh, hi Donna.

Well I hope you're all happy, cause you ruined my Dad's barbecue. All he wanted was one more good day before everybody found out that his store was closing and he's going bankrupt.

[surprised] Wait? What?

Yeah, Bargain Bob's is closing this week so....congratulations. [walks away]

Oh my God, I feel so bad.

Red

Well you should, you ruined his barbecue. Why would you do that?

Wha...me? You coulda, you -

Red

Eric, for God's sakes, the man is almost a veteran.

Ok, fine. You know what. Fine, it's all my fault. But Dad you, you gotta make everyone here go next door.

Eric, you're right. We have got to go over there. They are our neighbors, they are our best friends.

Red

Yeah, I suppose. [addresses guests] All right freeloaders, let's move it on over to Bob's! [everyone starts to leave] Eric, grab that keg.

Ok, I'm on it. [tries to carry but the keg wouldn't budge]

[staggering from the car] Kelso, it's fine. I'm not that drunk... I just can't walk or see... Man, that was a great party. You know who doesn't like parties? Red. [imitates Red] I'm Red. I don't like parties because I'm a big, bald party-pooper! [Red walks outside the house] Uh-Oh. [throws up on Red's shoes]

Red

Son of a bitch!

[Looks at Eric's barf] Eric, when did you eat spaghetti?

[Eric is laying on the couch, hungover]

My head hurts.

Red

That's your own brain comprehending it's own stupidity.

[On Hyde's Dad] What kind of man leaves a bunch of kids alone with a keg?

A fun one?

Red

Hey, Jim Beam, can it.

[Laurie is telling Red and Kitty what she plans to do with her life.]

But now, I have found my passion: Hair!

The musical?

No! HAIR! [Laurie grabs a handful of her hair.]

I'm going to beauty school!

This isn't something you do through the mail, is it?

No! It's a real school!

Oh. Well... yay!

Red

Congratulations, sweetheart!

[Laurie leaves in excitement.]

Red

Well, Kitty, what do you think?

Eh.

Red

Yeah.

[At a party celebrating Red's 'death']

Are you having fun?

Red

No. Turns out I was mistaken. Life is too short to spend it with people who annoy you. I just wanna spend it with people I really, really love. Like you and, uh...Well, mostly just you [taps glass] Everybody. [guests look at him] Thanks for being here. And I just wanna say...when my time comes, I want to be buried face down, so that anyone who doesn't like me can kiss my ass!

[Awkward silence.]

[Laughs nervously]

[Everyone else laughs.]

[Red complains to the Fatso Burger manager, Ricky about the food served to him]

May I help you, sir?

Red

Yeah. I wanna compliment you on one tasty, fried piece of shoe.

Let me take care of this right now. Earl!

Red

Oh, no. Did you say Earl?

Just one second.

EEarl

[walk out of kitchen] Ricky, I'm glad you called me. I need to leave early for a - [sees Red] Oh. Hi, Red.

You two know each other?

EEarl

I used to work for Red. Then he fired me.

Oh. Then he and I have something in common. You're fired!

EEarl

What did I do?

Red

Hey, Bob. Job just opened up for you.

S3 E14 Radio Daze
View quote →

Oooh, look how cute you are. This is just like when you were five, and played make believe dinner. Only this time, it won't end by Donna sitting on Eric's face. [Awkward pause] OK.

[Kitty and Red start leaving]

Red

Kitty, that was bad.

I know, keep walking.

[Kitty and Red finally leave]

Oh, good, and I thought this was going to be awkward.

So, you're saying that Donna and I will be okay?

Red

No. All I did was scratch your mother's shoes. I didn't pull her pants down in front of God and the foreign kid.

So, looks like I'm gonna spend the weekend with Kelso, tutor him in math.

Red

Really.

Hmmm.

Red

So, you're allegedly tutoring Kelso in math?

Yes sir.

Are you good in math?

Red

What's the square root of x?

Um, I really can't answer that?

Red

A-HA!

No, see. X is a variable so until you define its parimeter is the only possible answer is the variable or x if you prefer.

Red

Is that right?

Sounds good. Will Michael's parents be home?

Yes.

Red

Are they as dumb as he is?

I can't lie. Yes. Yes, they are.

Red

Right answer. (to Kitty) That was a trick question. I know they're dumb

So, I can go?

Red

You can go, but I'll be watching the news. And if anything gets vandalized, or explodes, or catches on fire, X is gonna equal me kicking your ass.

Red

[notices Bob in his driveway] Need something, Bob?

Well, it's a funny thing. The wife and I are taking out a second mortgage on the house. ...Well, that's not the funny part, 'cause we're pretty much destitute.

Red

It's a little bit funny, Bob.

Anyways, I'm looking at the deed to the property, and the map shows that I own a couple feet of your driveway, and a little bit of your garage.

Red

How'd you like to own a little bit of my foot in your ass?

I wouldn't to be quite honest.

Red

It's free!
