  • [on the afternoon of the Prom]
  • Laura: Girl, have you ever seen the hair salon so crowded?
  • Maxine Johnson: It happens every year the day of the prom. Did you see them work on Dora Fenswick?
  • Laura: She didn't need a hairstylist, she needs a fairy godmother!
  • Laura: [Curtis is about to break bad news to Laura] Curtis!
  • Curtis: Hi Laura!
  • Laura: What's wrong?
  • Curtis: I don't know how to tell you this, but I have to tell you straight out. I won't be able to take you to the prom.
  • Laura: Curtis, I got my hair done, my nails. I bought a new dress and you say you can't take me?
  • Curtis: That's Right
  • Laura: Let me tell you something. It better be a dead relative in your excuse.
  • Curtis: My grandmother died!
  • Laura: [gasps] I'm sorry, I'm so sorry please forgive me.
  • Curtis: My whole family is flying out to Washington for the funeral
  • Laura: Can you wait a day, of course you can't
  • Curtis: I know you're disappointed. I'm sorry, call you next week?
  • Laura: Poor Curtis
  • Maxine Johnson: Yeah and poor you, you gonna miss your prom.
  • Laura: Maybe not, there has to be some guy who doesn't have a date.
  • Laura: [as Steve walks he sobs and cries on Laura's shoulder] What's the matter baby, did you eat some bad cheese again? Whoo!
  • Steve Urkel: [sobbing] No, it's Myra, her cold got worse. Her temperature shot up and she tossed more cookies than the Keebler elf. I rushed her to the emergency room and the doctor said she has walking pneumonia.
  • Maxine Johnson: Will she be okay?
  • Steve Urkel: [sobbing] In about a week or so, but she gonna have to miss the prom.
  • [crying]
  • Maxine Johnson: [Maxine starts to laugh while talking to Steve] Ooh, hoo hoo. This is amazing! You know uh, Laura doesn't have a date for the prom either. This means you guys have to go together.
  • [laughs]
  • Maxine Johnson: Bye!
  • [Maxine laughs hysterically after she leaves the house]
