Thing-fish:
I's sure dere be lotsa folks like to know what yo' plans are...how y'intend t'be gwine about dis uncredibly serious bidniss o' growin' up in ermerica!

Harry-as-a-boy:
Well, I plan on making a few mistakes, having my heart broken and so forth, using all kinds of drugs, and turning gay as soon as possible in order to accelerate my rise to the 'top of the heap'.

Rhonda:

Harry-as-a-boy:
Let's face it: that would be like fucking a slightly more voluptuous version of somebody's father! I'm far too sensitive for such a traumatic experience!

Harry-as-a-boy:
To a degree...i mean...look, I'm not stupid! I know it's all a thoroughly workable government- sponsored program to control the population explosion, and, just like every other american, I'm too
Erned with my own personal health and well being to think of devoting any of my precious time to something as boring as 'reproduction'!

Rhonda:
Harry, I used to think you were merely an over- educated shit-head, but now that I finally have proof, it's going to give me great pleasure to refer to you as an over-educated cocksucker!

Harry:
Well, to be honest with you, dearest, I sort of ...gulp, gulp...

Rhonda:
Where's the fairies on a string, harry? huh? riddle me this!
