• Greg Brady : [enters Mike's den]  Mom, Dad, Jan said you wanted to see me.

  Mike Brady : Yes, that's right. Greg, did you get tickets for the rock concert?

  Greg Brady : Yes, sir.

  Mike Brady : Did you drive George's car down to the stadium?

  [Greg looks confused] 

  Carol Brady : I met Mrs. Thompson at the market. She mentioned it.

  Greg Brady : Yeah, I drove George's car.

  Mike Brady : After when you were told not to drive.

  Greg Brady : You didn't tell me to not drive.

  Mike Brady : Yes, I did!

  Greg Brady : You said not to use OUR car.

  Carol Brady : Greg, we told you not to drive.

  Greg Brady : OUR car. You didn't say I couldn't drive any car.

  Mike Brady : But you knew what we meant. You were grounded, right?

  Greg Brady : You said not to use our car for a week and I haven't used it.

  Carol Brady : Oh, come on, Greg, that's walking a pretty fine line. Are you trying to say you didn't understand what we meant, no driving?

  Greg Brady : I just know what you told me and that was not to drive the car.

  Mike Brady : Okay, Greg, okay, but let's make no mistake about this. Except for school, you are not to leave this house for the next ten days.

  Greg Brady : [upset]  Ten days? I'll miss the rock concert! You can't mean that!

  Mike Brady : Oh, yes I can and I do.

  [before Greg can protest] 

  Mike Brady : And I don't want to hear another word about it.

  Greg Brady : AW!

  [he storms out of the den] 

• Bobby Brady : [Bobby tells Mike and Carol about a freeway incident]  We almost got into an accident.

  Carol Brady : [shocked]  What happened?

  Greg Brady : Uh, nothing really.

  Bobby Brady : What do you mean, nothing? Greg was great. You see, there was this big truck in front of us and Greg slammed on the brakes and we skidded in-between the big truck and the freeway fence.

  Mike Brady : He cut you off, Greg?

  Greg Brady : No, sir.

  Carol Brady : [concerned]  Were you driving too fast?

  Greg Brady : No.

  Mike Brady : Well, you must have been if you couldn't have stopped in time.

  Bobby Brady : Honest, Dad, he wasn't driving too fast. He just bought a new record album. He was looking at the back cover.

  Carol Brady : While you were driving?

  Greg Brady : Bobby, I only glanced at it!

  Mike Brady : On the freeway?

  Greg Brady : Dad, nothing happened. I didn't even scratch the car.

  [Bobby exits the den] 

  Carol Brady : Greg, weren't we talking to you, just last week, about paying attention, while you drive?

  Mike Brady : I think you better spend a little time thinking about your driving habits, while you don't use the car for a week.

  Greg Brady : A week? Dad, that's not fair!

  Mike Brady : Well, it's a lot fairer than not using it for two weeks.

  Greg Brady : But, Dad, it wasn't a...

  Mike Brady : You want to try for three?

  [Greg angrily exits the den]
