    Peter Bretter: (drunk at the bar, talking to Dwayne and Darald) Maybe it's a good thing they're here. You know what I mean? Maybe this is a- a challenge from God to forget her! You know? (Dwayne looks very exasperated)
    Darald Braden: (also drunk) Or maybe it's a sign from God that you should be with her! I love her show- when they mix the sexuality and the violence, I like it.
    Dwayne: Aw, what the hell is wrong with you two? You gotta move on.
    Peter Bretter: I hear you say that, but it's not that easy.
    Dwayne: Oh, it's that easy, I promise you, it is. I lived in South Central. South Central- and I hated it. That's why I moved to Oahu- now, I can name you over 200 different kinds of fish.
    Peter Bretter: No, you can't.
    Dwayne: Oh, yes I can!

    Darald Braden: She is in bed.
    Peter Brenner: How are things going with the lady?
    Darald Braden: Not awesome. She's complicated- like The Da Vinci Code, you know, but- harder to... crack. (Peter and Rachel grin at each other bemusedly) But life is full of lessons, you learn something new every day, so... (pause) wonder what I'm going to learn... tomorrow? (pause) Well! (stands up to go) Good night!
    Rachel Jansen: Good night, sir.
    Peter Bretter: Night, sir.
    Darald Braden: (as he is leaving) Off to find the mythical clitoris! (Rachel raises her eyebrows at this remark)
    Rachel Jansen: So! (Peter snickers into his drink) Peter, were you able to get that crying lady out of your room? 'Cause, I could send someone up, if you want.
    Peter Bretter: Oh, you could?
    Rachel Jansen: Yeah.
    Peter Bretter: That's very funny. It is.
    Rachel Jansen: Well, listen- the Sarah Marshall Show sucks. Who cares?
    Peter Bretter: I do the music for that program. (awkward pause)
    Rachel Jansen:...Well, did I mention that the music rocks?
    Peter Bretter: (chuckles) That's very sweet of you- that's very sweet of you to say. (Rachel chuckles) You don't have to say that, though- it's not music. There's no melody, it's just tones. Just dark, ominous tones. (mimics a line from the show) "The Masturbating Dog-Killer is on the loose again! He'll kill the owner, but at least the dogs are happy!" (imitates one of his 'tones' and he and Rachel both laugh)

    Liz Bretter: Can we get on the same team, here?
    Brian Bretter: (instantly backing down) Okay I'm sorry. (turns back to Peter) We're on the same team- sorry. (he and Liz do a mini-high-five)
    Liz Bretter: You should go out on a date with this girl, Peter.

(goes up to the stage, lets Matthew hug him, then fends him off by offering him a pair of his sunglasses) Thank you! What a lovely introduction- what an eccentric and confident young man!
