*They wake up the next day*
Kevin: Morning Claudia.
Claudia: Morning.
Kevin: We need to go the grocery store today. Remember?
Claudia: Oh Yeah, i forgot about that.
Kevin: Well let's go!
*Kevin and Claudia get to the store after they both get ready*
Kevin: Hey Claudia get the milk for me will ya?
Claudia: Ok!
Kevin: Ok, i'll get fabric softener and you get the eggs.
Claudia: Ok.
*The pair meet at the checkout and check their items out*
Kevin: Are those microwave dinners any good?
Cashier: I don't know.
Kevin: I'll give them a whirl.
*the cashier holds a bag of army toys*
Kevin: For the kids.
*the cashier scans the orange juice*
Kevin: Hold on! I've got a coupon for that.
Cashier: Is that your little girlfriend?
*she asks pointing at Claudia*
*Claudias face turns red and so does Kevin's*
Claudia: N-No ma'am.
Cashier: 19.83

Kevin: He's at work.
Cashier: What about your brothers and sisters.
Kevin: Her and i are the only ones.
Cashier: Where do you live?
Kevin: I can't tell you that.
Cashier: Why not?
Kevin: Because you're a stranger.
*on the way home with Claudia Kevin rips the grocery bag and Claudia helps pick up the groceries*

*Later with Harry and Marv*
Harry: I don't get it. Right now, it looks like there's nobody home. Last night the place was jumping. Something ain't right. Go check it out.
Marv: Now?
Harry: No, tomorrow, egghead! Now! Go ahead.
*Marv drops his shoe in the dog door*
Marv: Shit!
*"Angels With Filthy Souls" Starts to play*
Johnny: Get the hell out of here.
Snakes: All right, Johnny. But what about my money? Acey Said you had some dough for me.
Johnny: Is that a fact? How much do I owe you?
Snakes: Acey Said ten percent.
Johnny: Too bad Acey ain't in charge no more.
Snakes: What do you mean?
Johnny: He's upstairs, taking a bath. He'll call you when he gets out. Hey, I tell you what I'm gonna give you, Snakes.
Marv: Snakes?
Johnny: I'm going to give you to the count of ten to get your ugly, yellow, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead.
Johnny: 1, 2, 10.
*Claudia Tries to stop her laughter as Kevin wraps his arm around her shoulder when Marv runs off running into the trash cans on the way back to the van*
Harry: What happened?
Marv: I don't know who, but somebody just got blown away.
Harry: Huh?
Marv: Somebody beat us to the job, they're in there. 2 of them. There was arguing. One blew the other one away.
Harry: Who?
Marv: I don't know. I thought I recognized one of their voices. And I know I heard that name "Snakes" before.
Harry: Snakes? Snakes. Snakes. I don't know no Snakes.
Marv: Snakes! Let's get out of here.
Harry: Hold it. Hold it. Let's wait and see who it is. We work this neighborhood, too. Supposing the cops finger us for a job, and they start asking us questions about a murder in the area. Wouldn't it be nice to have a face to go with their questions?
Marv: That's a good idea
Harry: Of course it's a good idea. Snakes!
Marv: He sounded like a snake.
