Titus: Hey, once you've driven a drunk father to mom's parole hearing, what else is there?

Titus: Stop it!

Tommy's Girlfriend [2.7]

Last Noelle [2.9]

[talking about a Christmas fight in which he locked his girlfriend out of the house]
When all of the sudden there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was a matter.
I went to the window and tore open the blinds,
And there was my girlfriend, quite out of her mind!
And I was just standing there, heart pounding with fear,
She was bangin' on the glass door with a vodka bottle…filled right 'bout to here.
And I knew the window couldn't take it.
As she screamed, "Unlock it, you bastard, or, I swear, I'll break it!"
Well, I couldn't do that; it was a rented place.
So I opened the door, and she punched me in the face!
And I summoned my manhood from bottom to top,
And I screamed like a little girl…"I'M CALLING THE COPS!"

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! [2.10]

When I Say Jump [2.11]
