Episode Quotes |

Cleveland: Hey sport. I got a proposition for you.
Kid: Yeah?
Cleveland: My name's Cleveland. How'd you like to play with Cleveland Junior?
Kid: What!?
Cleveland: Oh you'll love him. He's a little chubby but he's always up for a good time. A lot of other kids have jerked him around but I can tell you're the kind of guy who would treat him right.
Don't get me wrong, he's a handful but a nice handful.
Look, I'll be honest with you, I'm tires of playing with him. You want to see him? Come over by the car and I'll let you have a look.
Come on what do you say?
I'll give you 30 bucks right now if you play with him in the car.
Kid: Boomerang
(Police cars pull up and cops pull their guns on Cleveland)
(Back in the car w/ Cleveland Jr.) Cleveland: You know once I read over the transcript, I can see how my words might have been misconstrued
| Cleveland: Well...let's go home. I'll get out of these pants and you can play with Cleveland Junior.
(Ernie and Cleveland stare at each other awkwardly)
I shouldn't talk to boys.
