[referring to Sean throwing chicken at a car when he sees Brad and Lily making out in it]

Claudia: [giggles]

Sean: It's not funny! I didn't know what else to do.

Claudia: How is throwing chicken even an option?!

Claudia: Walt, why are my children on a chain gang?

Walt: I am teaching these boys how to dig a hole

Sean: Why?

Walt: A good hole can serve a boy in a lot of ways. It helps them focus, lets them sweat, and makes them appreciate a warm bed at night.

Claudia: How much is there to teach about a hole?

Walt: That's the kind of attitude that leads to substandard holes.

Sean: Well there was more than just chicken.

Claudia: Biscuits?

Sean: NO, no.

Eddie: So you still have the biscuits?

Sean: No, there were no biscuits! I'm talking about an additional incident.

Eddie: I can't believe you didn't get biscuits, they come with the chicken.

Sean: I didn't get any biscuits! Look I went out to get a bucket of chicken, I got a bucket of chicken.

Eddie: You would have had to specifically asked them to leave the biscuits out!
