Larry Underwood : [into the phone] I love you, Arlene!
Arlene : [into the phone] Aw, don't I wish?
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] Listen, I'm gonna try to get the afternoon flight back to L.A. I want you to put on your sexiest number and I'll take you out to dinner, then I'll take you out dancing and maybe... I'll just take you.
Arlene : [into the phone] You might want to consider delaying your trip back a few days.
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] Why? What's the problem?
Arlene : [into the phone] Things are weird here in L.A. There's hardly anyone here at the nightclub. People are really scared about this Captain Trips thing.
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] Yeah, but the radio here says it's all just bull...
Arlene : [into the phone] I know, but the radio here says that all of the hospitals are filling up with sick people... and some of them are dying.
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] What? People are dying of the flu?
Arlene : [into the phone] And there's a lot of soldiers around. Suddenly, L.A. is a really creepy place to be, Larry.
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] Maybe I'll stick around New York for a couple more days.
Arlene : [into the phone] Yeah, but remember what you promised me when you get back: dinner, dancing and all the paparazzi I can smile at!
Larry Underwood : [into the phone] Okay. Bye, now.
[hangs up]

[Larry has returned to New York to see his mother, who assumes he is a failure, despite his flashy car]
Alice Underwood : Don't lie. I've seen your car.
Larry Underwood : [sullenly] About forty thousand.
Alice Underwood : Jesus wept.
Larry Underwood : But the record's number 21 this week, Ma! With a bullet. Bam! The album hasn't hit the hot 100 yet, but it will. Forty thousand's nothin'. Nothin'! And I'm not gonna let them make me a one-hit wonder, either. Your son's here to stick around! I'm gonna be famous, Ma. Even better. I'm gonna be rich.
