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?
