Eddie walks toward the camera and rams right into it, a takeoff of DeNiro's
scene in "Cape Fear," where he got as close as you can to a camera

Eddie in his car, holding a HUGE leash with the name "Spot" on the tag
                                     EDDIE
                    I'm just saying I found your pet's collar.  I'm not
                    saying I did anything.
Sam's office.  Camera focuses on the investigator, who can't think of anything
to say. He motions with his head to switch back to Sam; he can't thing of
anything
to say 
either.

                                (Laughing)
                  Audition?  I don't think you really, really understand 
                  what we're talking about here.
Strip search of Eddie, where he displays the various tattoos on his body.
Among them are: "FESTER IS MINE," "GRANDPA SUCKS," a broken heart with the
name "Lily" above it, and a drawing of Herman Munster.
Sam and the investigator are watching him behind a one-way mirror
                                 INVESTIGATOR
                  I don't know whether to look at him or go trick-or-treating.

                  My parents just don't understand.  They're just, like,
                  fighting all the time.
                                   EDDIE
                  I know, I know.  My daddy was a ten-foot Frankenstein with
                  bolts in his neck.
                  Listen to this, it'll make you feel better.

Eddie walks over puts his finger in Danielle's mouth, accidentally taking out
