[Charlene comes home feeling sad]
Earl Sinclair : You are not going on any more dates!
Charlene Sinclair : [sadly] Well that's fine with me.
Earl Sinclair : Then we're in complete agreement.
Charlene Sinclair : Yes, we are.
Earl Sinclair : Why?
Charlene Sinclair : [voice breaking] Well, because it was the most humiliating experience of my life.
Earl Sinclair : [worried anger] What did he do to you?
Charlene Sinclair : He dumped me.
Earl Sinclair : [whispers to Fran] Is that what the kids are calling it now, Fran?
Charlene Sinclair : He met a girl with a tail that was bigger than mine and he went off with her. I walked all the way home.
[Earl frowns in pity]

Robbie Sinclair : [laughs in disbelief] What did you do, buy the variety pack?
Charlene Sinclair : [as Robbie touches her tail] You're wasting your time, Moron-a-saurus. It's real!
Earl Sinclair : [aghast] 'Real'!

Charlene Sinclair : Mom, you said you were the last one in your class to get your tail. How did you handle it?
Fran Sinclair : Oh well... that was a long time ago, and I'm sure I handled it with grace and dignity.
Grandma Ethyl Phillips : She tried to throw herself off the roof.
Fran Sinclair : [chiding] Mother!
Grandma Ethyl Phillips : Of course, she weighed 28,000 lbs., so the roof collapsed. She fell right through onto Grandpa Louie, who was cleaning his pipe at the time. We never found the pipe, but Grandpa Louie walked funny after that.
