FRED: Hi, Lorne.
LORNE: Hi. What do you say we put away your little sci-fi toys for a little bit, huh? And maybe we could talk about something a little more important, like my monster mash?
FRED: Oh, yeah, your party.
LORNE: Our party, tweety bird. Which, by the way, is dying on the vine. I could really, really, really use some help from you guys— some backup?
FRED: I wasn't really planning on going.
LORNE: Wes. Do you hear this crazy talk?
WESLEY: Uh, well, I really hadn't given much thought to going myself.
LORNE: Et tu, Brutuses? Why is it so hard to get anyone to have any fun around here?

~~Life of the Party~~
