-->'''Barris''': How much does this Impala weigh?
-->'''Arctor''': A thousand pounds with passengers and a full tank of gas.
-->'''Luckman''': [[AskAStupidQuestion How many passengers?]]
-->'''Arctor''': Twelve.
-->'''Luckman''': [[StupidQuestionBait Six in the front and six in the back]]?
-->'''Arctor''': No, that's eleven in the back and the driver sitting alone up front. All the weight in the wheels is to keep the car from fishtailing.

-->'''Luckman''': Is that metal or plastic cleats?

* Barris is going to find out who's got something against Arctor. How? He's set up a a microphone to start recording when someone comes through the front door. To increase the chance that intruders will enter via the front and not another way, he's left a ''note on the door'' saying that it's unlocked. Arctor and Luckman are shocked and not even sure whether he's being serious or not.
-->'''Barris:''' Of course I'm kidding! Only a psychotic would do that, leave the front door of the house open with the door unlocked and a note on the door.
-->'''Arctor:''' What'd you write on the note, Barris?
-->'''Barris:'''...I wrote, 'Come on in, the door's unlocked.'
