Elizabeth Lubbock : Marie, honey, do you know anything about this?
Marie Lubbock : [sincerely] Only that you shouldn't blame yourselves. You did the best you could with what you had.

Marie Lubbock : I will.
Coach Graham T. Lubbock : No, I mean now! Go!
[she rushes off]
Elizabeth Lubbock : [left with the three suspects] All right, now I wanna know what this was all about. Cindy?
Cindy Lubbock : All right, Mom, I'll tell you, but you're not gonna believe it. You see, I didn't sneak out anywhere last night. The only reason I stood up, was because... and this may sound like a stupid reason...
Constance "Connie" Lubbock : [snidely] I think we can count on that.
Cindy Lubbock : [glaring at Connie] The only reason I stood up was because you said that this bad thing had to do with the hottest Lubbock babe, and I do have my reputation to protect...
Constance "Connie" Lubbock : [impatiently] Aw!
Cindy Lubbock : ...so I just figured...
Coach Graham T. Lubbock : Cindy! Your lip...!
Elizabeth Lubbock : [to Cindy] Wait a minute, come to think of it, your new sweater has grass stains all over it, and I found your pink shoes soaking wet.
Cindy Lubbock : What? Thanks a lot, Wendy! Just see if I'll lend you my clothes next time you're desperate to drive some hunk wild!
Elizabeth Lubbock : Is this true, Wendy?
Wendy Lubbock : Which part?
Coach Graham T. Lubbock : All right, Cindy, you can go.
Cindy Lubbock : [on a roll and not about to quit] I just think that something should be said about borrowing a person's property, and return...
Coach Graham T. Lubbock : Not now!
Cindy Lubbock : But those were really, really expensive shoes!
Elizabeth Lubbock : Out!
[Cindy goes]
Coach Graham T. Lubbock : Thank you.
Elizabeth Lubbock : My pleasure.
