Dupree: Yeah, no problem. What do you got?
Carl: I promised Molly I would give this Career Day presentation today at 1:00. But her father just dropped a big one on me, so I'm gonna need you to step in and fill in for me. Can you do that?
Dupree: I don't know, Carl. I don't know the first thing about the development business. I really think Mr. Thompson might find me in over my head.
Carl: No, not the development business. School, Dupree. I'm gonna need you to fill in for me at Molly's school.
Dupree: No, no, no. Not this time.
Carl: What?
Dupree: No, no, I'm talking to Lance Armstrong. He's trying to break away from the pack. I got him, though.
Carl: Will you quit dicking around with your little Huffy bike and listen to me?
