Duke: Ten extra tickets? No problem, babe! 'Course, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you at Christmas. Riley, Ethel and the Broco have just pulled up in their mini-van. Make sure they get to their boy, before kickoff. Boy: Do I have to sir? The Kennedys never have enough tickets. Duke: So what? Boy: Well, it just doesn't seem fair.

Duke: That's no excuse! God, I hate your whining!
