- Freddie 'Rerun' Stubbs: I can't help being fat. It runs in my family!
- Dee Thomas: Nobody runs in your family. They all waddle!
- Gary: [Rerun was hired for the Rockets] Tell him to be here at 3.
- Dwayne Nelson: Uh-huh.
- Gary: And tell him from now on his name is 'Fat Freddy Stubby'!
- Dwayne Nelson: NUH-HUH!
- Roger Thomas: You know, Rerun, if I were Gladys Knight, I'd fire those three guys and hire you as one huge pip.
- [laughs]
- Roger Thomas: [Mama comes in]
- Dee Thomas: Yeah, and you can record for "Mo' Ton" Records.
- Mama: There'll be no more fat jokes in this house...
- Dee Thomas: Yeah, I'm getting sick of them!
- Roger Thomas: Be quiet, Dee!
- Dee Thomas: Did you hear what he said, Mama?
- Mama: Yes, I heard.
- Dee Thomas: Good.
- Mama: And I agree with him.
- Dee Thomas: [realizing she is on the losing side of an argument, reconsiders] Me too. See ya.
