Matt Finley: Yeah...
Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: Well, I did! Only I didn't lock them in the closet, I locked them in the basement. Only, I didn't actually lock them in, I nailed the door shut. And I told them I wasn't letting them out until they worked out their problems.
Matt Finley: You're kidding right?
Gregory Alan 'Grover' Beindorf: No Matt, I swear, I swear... it was like, I had to do it.
Matt Finley: Dude, you kidnapped your parents? Jeez!

Goofs
Factual errors: When Mr. Krupp gets through the concrete, the appearance is given that he'd been digging straight through, however when Mr. Finley goes through and gets stuck in the concrete, he's coming up through a hole made in the concrete lain ground level, rather than perpendicular to the ground. In addition to it being a factual goof, given the previous scene, it would also be physically impossible for him to climb through, seeing as his back would have to be bent at a 90 degree angle at one point in order to accomplish this feat.
