Travis Here's where you made your critical mistake: you listened to anything Howie and Joe Joe said. Nice boys, but they're a couple pliers short of a tool chest.

Do you want to hear about the time Jesus saved us from a tornado?
Travis Oh, it's a great story.
You know, I'd love to, but I was in the little boys room taking care of business when Carl interrupted me, but Jamie'd love to hear it. [walks away]
Ah. Well, it seems just like yesterday.
Travis [Jamie, Mary Jo and Travis scream in shock, as Travis brakes hard, causing Bob to hit himself on the front window] [astonished]
Bob?!
[Bob slides off the window and falls to the ground, while Jamie furiously storms out of the bus and shoves Bob as she walks up to him]
Are you an idiot?! Do you want to see your father bouncing down the highway?!
What are you doing with the Partridge Family?
WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON TOP OF THE BUS?!?
Because I was chasing you! You win! I blew off my job because I can't live without you. You happy?
I never asked you to blow off your job! I wanted you to be honest with me!
[confused]
Honest? Like, "Todd's gonna fire me if I go to Boulder" honest? "Screw Hawaii" honest?
[tearfully, yet confused]
Oh, I see. You think that if you told me you were in trouble and your job was in jeopardy, that I'd give you a hard time about it?
No crying, that's cheating.
[in a normally worried tone]
Do you think I'm some horrible witch that doesn't care? I do care! I care a lot! [shoves Bob] In fact, I hate you, jerk.
[sadly]
I didn't want you to know I was in trouble. You and Cassie and Carl, you mean everything to me. [as Cassie and Carl are watching from the bus windows] What you think about me is the most important thing in the world. I didn't want to fail.
[apologizing]
If you don't know how I feel about you after 19 years of marriage...then I must be a failure as a wife.
Then you admit you're the problem.
Travis [as he and Mary Jo are watching from the bus door]
No, you didn't. Come on, Bob. Come here. [he shows Bob and Jamie exactly where they have arrived]
Travis No, it just sounded like this was where your wife needed to be...so I brought her.
Travis has never been one to mind his own business.
Travis...some of my behavior on this trip might be misconstrued as an insult. Did come off a tad abrasive.
Travis And you're a big man.
I don't just mean...
Travis I understand a metaphor, Bob. See, I went to Stanford.
[hugs Travis in excitement]
YOU BIG LUG, I LOVE YOU! [Jamie and Mary Jo laugh] Who loves his big lug?!
