[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]
