Bubba: "What? Did I scare you?"
Mater: "Me scared? Nah! The only thing that scares me is... Well, never mind. I was like talking about the Ghostlight, because it's about to shake the rust off your bumper, the dirt from your windshield, the holes from your carburetor!"
Bubba: "Are you done babbling now?"
Mater: "Yeah, I guess so."
Bubba: "Good. Then me and the Taters would like to..."
Mater: "Hey! I just thought of something! 'Tater' rhymes with 'Mater'!"
Tater: "Not only that, but 'Mater' rhymes with 'Tater' too!"
Mater: "Come on! Let's try to find some more stuff that rhymes with our names!"
