Terry and Peter vs. Their Hero [1.5]

 * [Peter has just mentioned that the actor who played his childhood hero Colonel Cannon is coming to town for a commercial]
 * Terry: Still don't care.
 * Peter: You willlll! Remember how his arch-nemesis was the [Peter makes quotation marks with his hands]] "Rat-King"?
 * Terry: Oh, no no no. We're not giving away rats.
 * Peter: I already bought 'em!
 * Terry: You what!?
 * Peter: Don't worry, all 200 of them are safe and sound inside this [Taps on empty cage] cage. Hmm... They're all gone.
 * Terry: Course they are.
 * Peter: Must've left the lid off. Probably for the best.
 * Terry: Go on.
 * Peter: Well, all the rats that were left over I was going to feed to our new pet snake.
 * Terry: What snake?
 * Peter: That twelve-foot boa constrictor in that cage over there. [Camera pans to another, larger empty cage]  Oh, it's gone too.
 * Terry: Just out of curiousity, what was in that [points to even larger empty cage with bent bars] cage?
 * Peter: You don't want to know [Grabs a battle axe].


 * Peter: It's a comic book shop. Everything about it is supposed to be fun.  I used to brush my teeth with Tang.
 * Terry: Why would you brush your teeth with Tang?
 * Peter: [Matter of factly] Because I wanted the smile of an astronaut. Uch...  Ever since you came back it's been all 'money, money, bitches and honey'.
 * Terry: OK, that is a terrific impression of me. But it's not true.
 * Peter: Oh yeah? You're all about the bottom line!  You're Mr. "Buy High, Sell Low".
 * Terry: You see? That is exactly why you're not allowed near the money.
 * Peter: Then I'll just get away from you and your precious "The Money". [Jumps off counter] Ahh, dammit, why'd I put all the rat-traps back here?

Terry and Peter vs. the Law [1.6]

 * Rayna: Two break-ins in one week, Boyd? Tonight I need you to stake-out the mall.
 * Boyd: Stake out? Tonight's no good.  I've already made plans.  Staying up all night in my van, eating junk food, monitoring the comings and goings of the mall...
 * Rayna: That's what a stake-out is.
 * Boyd: Well... Things just got interesting.

Terry and Peter vs. the Season Finale [1.8]

 * Peter: Please Terry, I'm not completely useless. Remember, I built my own scissor hands?  [Cuts to flashback]  ...Oh, my fly's open.  Now to do it up, which I'm sure will be a total success, and completely uneventful.
 * Terry: What a horrible example.


 * Rayna: [Starts to drink cappucino, and then pulls out drenched sock] Is this a sock?
 * Peter: No refunds.
 * Rayna: I haven't paid yet.
 * Peter: That'll be four dollars.


 * Boyd: I'm really going to miss you Peter.
 * Terry: Terry.
 * Boyd: Right! Oh, and if in your travels you come across a one-legged man who answers to the name of Vargus, tell him I want my life back.
