- Henry Spencer: [reading his horoscope] Sagittarius: Please return the BB gun you confiscated from your son in the second grade. P.S. You are a cranky-pants.
- Shawn Spencer: You know, I went to two comic book stores and three women's volleyball games looking for you. Luckily, your phones has GPS.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: You tracked me?
- Shawn Spencer: Yes, I did, with a little help from my friends at your wireless service provider. By the way, they might be calling. They think you're a fugitive from justice. Run with it.
- Farmer Al Mooney: A guy came in here a couple of weeks ago, and he had the exact same questions.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Do you remember this person's name?
- Farmer Al Mooney: Can't say that I do, but I remember exactly what he looked like.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Can you give us a description?
- Farmer Al Mooney: Yeah, okay. The guy was about nine feet tall, right? He had sunshine coming out of his mouth, and he had a hippopotamus for a hand.
- [beat]
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: I don't think I have any more questions.
- Shawn Spencer: Yep, that'll do it.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Call the restaurant and make a reservation... for justice.
- Shawn Spencer: Is "justice" the time or the number of people in our party?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: I told her I was working part-time at a psychic detective agency. She must have misunderstood because now everybody on my mom's side of the family thinks that I'm a psychic detective and that you're...
- Shawn Spencer: Gay?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: No.
- Shawn Spencer: German?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: No.
- Shawn Spencer: Invisible?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: My assistant, Shawn!
- Shawn Spencer: Wow.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: I sense that you're at peace with your husband's passing.
- Mrs. Wagner: Well, not exactly at peace, but it wasn't easy being married to a food critic. He rated everything I did.
- Shawn Spencer: [suggestively] Surely he couldn't have rated *everything*.
- [Shawn chuckles, but stops when Mrs. Wagner nods]
- Mrs. Wagner: I never broke two stars.
- Shawn Spencer: Wow, that's... awfully harsh.
- Uncle Burton Guster: I wanna thank you for an incredible day, Burton. You're a regular "Rockford Files".
- [Uncle Burton leaves]
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Did my uncle just thank me for an incredible day?
- Shawn Spencer: More important question: How much TV does he watch?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: I'm serious, Shawn. My cousin took him to the Super Bowl on a helicopter, and he never even thanked him for that.
- Shawn Spencer: I'm serious, too. He's like this crazy tank-shaped encyclopedia of detective shows. I bet he even saw "Manimal".
- Shawn Spencer: We're from the Health Department. We're here for a surprise inspection.
- Chef Antonio: Again? We just had the surprise inspection a few days ago. Why, is there a problem?
- Shawn Spencer: Yes. You weren't surprised enough.
- [Shawn is doing charades so Gus can look psychic in front of his uncle]
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Somebody... at a restaurant... put something in his food... which made him sick... and that is what *killed*...
- [Shawn touches his nose]
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: That's what killed his *nose*!
- [Shawn mouths 'NO!']
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: That is what killed him!
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: The cops already have a suspect, but we're pretty sure that Chef Antonio was framed.
- Henry Spencer: Well, then I assume you know all about the veggie burger incident.
- Shawn Spencer: Of course we know about the veggie burger incident, Dad. We're professional detectives.
- [beat]
- Shawn Spencer: Gus?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Googling it.
- Henry Spencer: A couple of months ago, vegetarian customers at Antonio's Restaurant started complaining about how bad the vegetarian burgers were. Now, in my opinion, you eat a burger without beef in it...
- Shawn Spencer, Henry Spencer: You've lost the right to complain about flavor.
- Shawn Spencer: Heard that speech before. Just call someone a hippie and get to the point.
- Shawn Spencer: His tongue was coated black. Now, what else could possibly cause something like that?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Bismuth subsalicylate.
- Shawn Spencer: That dude who used to play for the Mavericks?
- Uncle Burton Guster: Shawn, this place is a sty. Maybe you should tidy up once in a while, huh? Or did you forget that you're the assistant?
- Shawn Spencer: [at Gus] You are absolutely right, sir. The person who's NOT the psychic detective should be in charge of ALL the cleaning. It just makes sense.
- Cooper: We call them the Angry Chef Letters. Every chef who ever got a bad review would write a nasty letter to Mr. Wagner about it.
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: So you're saying this is all hate mail?
- Cooper: Well, I don't know if I'd call it all "hate" mail. It ranges from "mild dislike" mail to "extreme abhorrence" mail...
- Shawn Spencer: How about "I wish you were dead" mail?
- Cooper: Oh, we have those, too. Back here.
- Perry: Do you know what he wrote in his review of my famous Miso Yellowtail Roll? "Me-So Disappointed."
- [Shawn and Gus snicker]
- Perry: Don't laugh. It's not funny.
- Shawn Spencer: No, it's not.
- Kat: Put it this way - he once referred to my White Chocolate Tiramisu as "ass cake."
- Shawn Spencer: Whoa... now that just seems mean.
- Shawn Spencer: The first thing you needed was a fall guy. Unfortunately, Lee Majors wasn't available.
- [Gus leans over and whispers in Shawn's ear]
- Shawn Spencer: Apparently, he was available. He lives here in town. But he was a little out of your price range!
- Shawn Spencer: The curvy A!
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Curvy A? That doesn't sound like a place that serves food, Shawn.
- Shawn Spencer: It's not the name, it's the symbol on top of the box. Come on, man, you eat out all the time. What place has a big swoopy, curving A?
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: I don't know. What does it look like?
- [Shawn grabs a pen, draws the logo on Gus's hand]
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: Antonio's!
- Shawn Spencer: Sweet!
- Burton 'Gus' Guster: [frowns] Why did you write on my hand?
- Shawn Spencer: Why would I write on my own hand? This thing is totally permanent.
