Mottos from "Role Models"
Wheeler: Let me give you a little motto I live my life by. You gotta hit it and quit it. No ties, tangle free, nobody tells me what to do, I go bang, bang, bang the drum.
Danny: That's not a motto! That's... that's just you saying a bunch of things.

Years later, I will still be quoting this
Squidward: People, people, settle down. OK, now, how many of you have played musical instruments before?
Plankton: Do instruments of torture count?
Squidward: No.
Patrick: Is mayonnaise an instrument?
