English term

catch you at the mission, babe

English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
another line from "married...with children". here's the context: the bundy family bought a mine and are trying to mine for gold somewhere in the 'wild wild west'. everybody finds some except kelly. she says: dad, gimme some gold. al answers: no, i won't. bud says: dad, don't be greedy. al says: if you're so smart, then you share your gold with your sister. kelly puts her hand out to bud.
bud (to kelly, very offhand): catch you at the mission, babe.

is this a quote or something?
thanks

see you at the poorhouse ?

tough call.
Is this a project you do for yourself, or ?
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexander Demyanov : Very likely. "Mission" in the meaning of "A ministry commissioned by a religious organization to propagate its faith or carry on humanitarian work"
