Finances With Wolves

Steve is under the impression that he is a werewolf, and thus commissions his friends to shoot him in the woods.

Steve: My only regret is I'll never know the sweet silky tingle of real boob.

Barry (the fat guy): (heartbroken) Aw, I can't let you go out like this! (walks over to Steve, lifts up his shirt) Here.

Steve: (hesitant) Are you -- are you sure? ... 'Cause I won't lie; I have thought of it. (Barry nods. Steve raises his hand, then stops) Mind if I call you Jennifer?

(Barry shrugs. Steve's hand quivers as it nears Barry's chest. Steve closes his eyes and smiles.)

Steve: (relaxed) Jennifer.

Barry: (eyes closed, also relaxed) Miss Piggy.

Later on in the episode, Steve and his friends are about to go home after "the curse has broken". Barry starts to follow them, but stops when he sees a vision of Miss Piggy ...

Piggy: Barry! Yoo-hoo!

Barry stares at her for a few seconds

Barry: (sadly) No, milady. 'Tis not my time yet.
