Speech problems

Hi all,

I would appreciate any help. I have trouble with the following sentence,

Everyone was so busy, there was just time for "Hi", "Bye" and no "What's up dude?"
  • Do we treat the following, "Hi" "Bye" "What's up dude" as phrases or pieces of dialogue?
  • Should a full stop follow "What's up dude?" i.e., Everyone was so busy, there was just time for "Hi", "Bye" and no "What's up dude?".
  • Do I need to include punctuation for "Hi" and "Bye" and "What's up dude?" i.e., Everyone was so busy, there was just time for "Hi.", "Bye." and no "What's up dude?".
I hope I was clear in explaining my question. Please do not hesitate to ask me to rephrase my question if I am unclear.

Thank you!
