KEVIN: So you're pretty good at this game, huh?
KEVIN: Yeah, I'm OK.

KEVIN: I've never actually played this. Are my songs hard to win?
KEVIN: They don't have any Jumpstart Malady stuff on here, dad.

KEVIN: I wonder why not...
KEVIN: Well, perhaps they recognize how mind-numbingly VAPID, VACUOUS and VACANT your songs are.

KEVIN: ExCUSE me?
KEVIN: I'm sorry... Did my alliteration confuse you?
