Quotes[]
- Laura: This show is disgusting. It's sexist and chauvinistic.
- Eddie: Ah, you're just saying that because you're a girl.
- Laura: Why did you go on Dudes anyway? I thought you agreed with me that it was sexist and chauvinistic.
- Urkel: I thought if you saw other women – hot, curvaceous, sexy women – fawning all over me, well, you might get jealous and do a little fawning yourself.
- Laura: Steve, when will you realize that I will never feel the way that you feel about me?
- Urkel: Oh, yes, you will. And it's my vision of that glorious moment that keeps my little heart beating. Ba-boop. Ba-boop. Ba-boop. [realizing that Laura is smiling at his gestures] Ohh, is she smiling at me? Yes, she is. Ba-boop, ba-boop, ba-boop.
- Laura: I'm sorry, Steve, but you've got a long wait.
- Urkel: Well, I wouldn't wait too long, baby-kins. After all, I'm a Super Dude.
- Laura: That's "dud," Steve.
- Urkel: Oh, yeah? Well... this dud's for you.
