Episode Quotes
Cartman: I can't possibly jump this many homeless people. I won't risk it! I could jump two homeless people, maybe three. But asking me to jump this many... is asking me to risk my life, Kyle!
Kyle: I don't WANT you to jump them, retard!
Mayor: All right, people, we need to come up with answers. There are homeless sprouting up all over town. What are we supposed to do? (silence)
Mr. Valmer: Well, I... I sort of had an idea.
Mayor: Please, Mr. Valmer.
Mr. Valmer: We could give the homeless all designer sleeping bags and makeovers. At least that way they'd be pleasant to look at.
Randy: That's it. That's it, everyone. We're out of Pop-Tarts.
Jimbo: No. We can't be.
Randy: Face it, we're gonna starve!
Linda: No, no wait, there's still a box over here.
Randy: Those are cherry! Ick!
