Episode Quotes
 
Towelie: Don't forget to bring a towel.
Stan: What?
Towelie: When you get out of the water you need to dry off right away to avoid catchin' a cold. That's why Towelie says, 'Don't forget to bring a towel.'
Stan: ...O-kay.
Kyle: Thanks, Towelie.
(Silence)
Towelie: Do you wanna get high?
 
Cartman: You just have no long-term memory 'cause you get high all the time!
Towelie: Don't preach to me, fatso!
Cartman: I can preach to you all I want, 'cause you're stupid!
Towelie: You're stupid!
Cartman: Yeah, and you're a towel!
 
Cartman: You are the worst character ever, Towelie.
Towelie: I know.
 
Evil Towel: C'mon Towelie, how long's it been since you had a nice burn? Twenty? Thirty seconds?
 
 
Cultural References
 
Cartman: You shouldna' done that. He's just a boy.

This is a line said by Billy Bob Thornton in his movie Slingblade (1996).
 
Soldier #2: Perhaps they're telepathically linked to the towel, sir, like E.T.

E.T. is the alien character from the movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is about a group of kids and the stranded alien they try to help get back home.
 
Towelie: Yeah. That's the melody to "Funky Town."

"Funky Town" was a hit disco song performed by the band Lipps Inc. in 1980.
