"Race you!"

"Not fair.  Gotta put the car away."

"Yes, it is.  You always get to go first."

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Well I'm going first so you can wait your turn."

"Gene!  You just will not come second, will you."

"Quit your whinin'.  I'm filthy dirty."

"You smell it too."

"Says you.  Weren't exactly the Blue Stratos man yourself when we climbed out.  So come on, start scrubbin'.  Where's the soap?"

"What am I - the butler?"

"All right, all right, we'll scrub each other."

"Ahhh...  You know, Gene, there's something to be said... for chasing suspects down drains after all..."
