    Storyline

    Edit
    As Rob naps one afternoon, Ritchie and his friend Freddie connect the freckles on Rob's back. Laura and Millie notice that the pattern resembles the Liberty Bell, so Rob reluctantly decides to follow Millie's suggestion that Rob submit it to "Odd but True," which publicizes unusual stunts and physical phenomena and, in exchange, pays the person responsible a $500 prize. —aldanoli

      Rob Petrie: Well, Millie, we found an even better Odd But True.

      Millie Helper: Oh, another one? You DID? You're kidding. Can I share in it?

      Laura Petrie: Yeah. Yeah, you can, but Rob and I are gonna be the submitters.

      Millie Helper: Oh, I don't care, I don't care. What is it?

      Rob Petrie: Well, we found a woman right here in New Rochelle who nobody talked to for the rest of her life.

      Millie Helper: WOW! Who is she? Hey, where'd you find her? Did you tell them about her? Rob! Laura! Laura, why don't you answer me?
