Rodrick: That's not me.
Frank: That's not you?

Susan: Greg, you told me it was a couple of kids, a band rehearsal!
Frank: Wait, Susan, you knew about this?
Susan: Yes. Yes, I knew.
Rodrick: [shocked, to Greg] Wha...? You told Mom?!
Frank: I knew they had a party!
Greg: It slipped out, but I took it back!
Susan: My instincts told me you weren't being honest! I should've trusted my instincts!
Frank: Wait! You knew about this, but you didn't tell me about it?
Greg: I still protected you! I threw Mom off your scent!
Rodrick: Great job. She has no idea!
Frank: We are supposed to be a team against them!
Susan: They were getting along so well I let it blind me to the truth!
Rodrick: Why were you taking pictures?!
Greg: It was so crazy that morning, I forgot we took the pictures.
Susan: So I let it slide. And I am so sorry. Oh, God. It feels so good to get that out. [points to the bathroom door] I haven't been able to look at that bathroom door for 2 weeks!
Frank: I knew that door had a lock on it! And everybody was trying to make me feel like I was losing my mind!
[Mr. Salz & Mrs. Kohan walk to the front door, about to leave]
