  Kevin 'Ug' Lee : No, no, no, please, please don't tell Dr. Kahn! I'll pay for all of the damages. I don't even know what a terrarium is but it's probably expensive.

  Dina Alexander : And the only place I bought my makeup at is out of business.

  Kevin 'Ug' Lee : So that means you won't be able to buy any more makeup.

  Dina Alexander : No, it means I have to special order it from France, have it shipped here and it'll cost three times as much to replace it.

  [they all stick their hand out for money] 

  Kevin 'Ug' Lee : Oh, boy.

  [he gets out his wallet] 

  Kevin 'Ug' Lee : Okay, there's yours. That's for you. For your T-shirt. For your terrarium. And for French make-up.

  [looks inside his wallet] 

  Kevin 'Ug' Lee : Boy, getting a raise is costing me a fortune.
