  Episode Quotes  
(The McCormick family is sitting around their table, with a can of string beans in the middle. Kenny's dad is praying)
Mr. McCormick: Dear God, we thank you for this... single can of green beans. And even though you took our son from us, and you enjoy tormenting us, we thank you. Amen. (everyone sits still)
Mrs. McCormick: Um... does anyone have a can opener?
Mr. McCormick: Godammit!
 
Cartman: You see Starving Marvin, this is what we call and appetizer. (picks up a shrimp). This is what you eat before you eat, so that you'll be more hungry. (waiter brings main course)
Cartman: Whoop. Food's here - forget these! (tosses shrimp into a nearby trash can)
 
Cartman: See, this is what we call an all you can eat buffet. Here you can eat all you want for just $6.99. That why everyone comes here on Tuesday nights, except for Kenny's family because for them, $6.99 is two year's income.
