[on the afternoon of the Prom]

Laura:
Girl, have you ever seen the hair salon so crowded?

Maxine Johnson:
It happens every year the day of the prom. Did you see them work on Dora Fenswick?

Laura:
She didn't need a hairstylist, she needs a fairy godmother!

Laura:
[Curtis is about to break bad news to Laura] Curtis!

Curtis:
Hi Laura!

Laura:
What's wrong?

Curtis:
I don't know how to tell you this, but I have to tell you straight out. I won't be able to take you to the prom.

Laura:
Curtis, I got my hair done, my nails. I bought a new dress and you say you can't take me?

Curtis:
That's Right

Laura:
Let me tell you something. It better be a dead relative in your excuse.

Curtis:
My grandmother died!

Laura:
[gasps] I'm sorry, I'm so sorry please forgive me.

Curtis:
My whole family is flying out to Washington for the funeral

Laura:
Can you wait a day, of course you can't

Curtis:
I know you're disappointed. I'm sorry, call you next week?

Laura:
Poor Curtis

Maxine Johnson:
Yeah and poor you, you gonna miss your prom.

Laura:
Maybe not, there has to be some guy who doesn't have a date.

Laura:
[as Steve walks he sobs and cries on Laura's shoulder] What's the matter baby, did you eat some bad cheese again? Whoo!

Steve Urkel:
[sobbing] No, it's Myra, her cold got worse. Her temperature shot up and she tossed more cookies than the Keebler elf. I rushed her to the emergency room and the doctor said she has walking pneumonia.

Maxine Johnson:
Will she be okay?

Steve Urkel:
[sobbing] In about a week or so, but she gonna have to miss the prom. [crying]

Maxine Johnson:
[Maxine starts to laugh while talking to Steve] Ooh, hoo hoo. This is amazing! You know uh, Laura doesn't have a date for the prom either. This means you guys have to go together. [laughs] Bye! [Maxine laughs hysterically after she leaves the house]
