  Bree Osbourne : Three dollars?

  Toby : Like 500 dollars. Japanese people kill for old Nikes.

  Bree Osbourne : Then you probably should avoid wearing them in Japan.

  Toby : Yeah, I'd probably be, like, disemboweled by a ninja.

  Bree Osbourne : You don't have to say "like". "Probably disemboweled by a ninja" is sufficient. And please don't put your feet up on the dashboard.

• Toby : Did you know that the Lord of the Rings is gay?

  Bree Osbourne : I beg your pardon.

And then Sam and Frodo have to go to this cave and deposit their magic ring into this hot, steaming lava pit. Only at the last minute, Frodo can't perform, so Gollum bites of his finger. Gay.
