• Karen McCluskey : [Parker rings Mrs. McCluskey's doorbell]  Waould ya stop ringing that damn... I'm sorry Parker, I thought you where one of those little pissheads that keeps ringing the doorbell and running away. What's on your mind?

  Parker Scavo : I want you to come back and babysit us, the new sitter stinks!
