  Moonie Pottie : ...Smart, I'll give her that.

• Lou Benzoa : [slams her bottle of beer down on the bar counter and belches rudely after playing darts with a local]  Okay... first prize, a quarter-pound of beef, second prize, a t-bone steak, third prize, five pounds of pork chops! Meat Darts! Getting free meat!

  Moonie Pottie : ...Uh, you do?
