- Tucker: [Gary is giving Tucker a piggyback ride through the forest] Ha ha ha, whoa big fella, whoa, ah ha ha!
- Betty Ann: [laughing] What are you DOING?
- [Betty-Ann lifts Tucker down from Gary's back]
- Tucker: Gary's my servant for the week. Down, boy!
- [Gary bends over angrily]
- Betty Ann: Why?
- Gary: [livid] We made a deal - DON'T ask.
- Tucker: [smiling slyly] I found a poem he wrote!
- Frank: [in disbelief] A POEM?
- Tucker: I promised not to show it to anybody if he'd be my servant for a week!
- Gary: Enough, you little crud! One more word and the deal's off!
- Tucker: [in a singsong voice] No sweat! Hurry up and tell your story... I've got some dirty SOCKS that you've gotta wash!
- Mike Carter: Whenever you get snotty with somebody, whenever you hurt someone, or you're selfish or you insult someone...
- Sam Carter: Yeah, yeah, I better not pout, I better not shout, 'cause Santa Claus is comin' to town!
- Gary: Tonight, I've got a special story... There's an old saying, "What goes around, comes around." In my story, one kid finds out that no matter what you do, good or bad, it always comes back at you. It's great if you do something nice, but if you do something rotten... watch out. It's coming back, and probably when you least expect it. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story... The Tale Of The Crimson Clown.
- Sam Carter: Help!
- Crimson Clown: No one will help you, Sam. You're a bad kid. No one wants to help a bad kid.
- Mrs. Carter: [about Sam's nasty behavior] Just give him a break, sweetie. He's still little!
- Mike Carter: Yeah, a little JERK!
- Sam Carter: [watching Mike from the top of the stairs] You're the jerk, Mike... you GEEK.
- Gary: Sam got what he asked for... another chance. Every kid deserves another chance. And the Crimson Clown gave him his... with a little help from Mike.
