Robby:
Say, "You poop into my butt hole and I poop into your butt hole... back and forth... forever."
Christine Jesperson:
[
seeing his bandage] Whoa, what happened?
Richard Swersey:
You want the short version or the long one?
Christine Jesperson:
The long one.
Richard Swersey:
I tried to save my life but it didn't work.
Christine Jesperson:
Wow. What's the short one?
Richard Swersey:
I burned it.
Nancy:
Macaroni.
Christine Jesperson:
If you really love me, let's make a vow - right here, together... right now.
Christine Jesperson:

making both sides of the conversation between her and an imaginary lover] - If you really love me, then let's make a vow. Right here... together... right now. Ok ? - Ok... - All right, repeat after me... I'm gonna be free. - I'm gonna be free. - And I'm gonna be brave... - I'm gonna be brave. - Good...

Christine Jesperson:

Michael:
Ellen broke up with me.
Christine Jesperson:
What? Why?
Michael:
She thinks she's gonna die this week.
Christine Jesperson:
No. Out of everyone at Saint Tod, she is the least likely person to die.
Michael:
Well, she's usually right. She's been right about everyone else. I lived a whole life with a woman I didn't even really like. We traveled all over the world together. And Ellen and I never even left the grounds.
Christine Jesperson:
Well, actually I took you to the IMAX that one time.
Michael:
Yeah, but I wanted to take her to the Mayan ruins in Guatemala. She really wanted to see those.
Christine Jesperson:
Yeah, that just seems weird that she wouldn't want to be with you- you know, if - her time was coming.
Michael:
I've long since stopped trying to make people - do things they don't want to do.
Christine Jesperson:
But she's the love of your life. You're just gonna let her go?
Michael:
No. She's just - Going.
Richard Swersey:
Yeah, the "Ice Land" sign is halfway. It's the halfway point.
Christine Jesperson:
Ice Land is - It's kind of like that point in a relationship, you know, where you suddenly realize it's not going to last forever. You know, you can see the end in sight. Tyrone Street.
Richard Swersey:
Yeah, but we're not even there yet. We're still at the good part. We're not even sick of each other yet.
Christine Jesperson:
I'm not sick of you at all.
Untitled:
Are you touching yourself?
NightWarrior:
[
looks down at fingertips touching on edge of desk] Yes.
Robby:
Ask her if she likes baloney.
Richard Swersey:
I don't want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it.
Richard Swersey:
You know some kids don't even have one home and now you get to have two. Think about that.
Richard Swersey:
We will never touch your foot with our hands. Now i'll tell you what I can do, I can press on the shoe to see if it fits. I can go like this.
[
presses the toe of the shoe]
Christine Jesperson:
We have a whole life to live together you fucker, but it can't start until you call.
Richard Swersey:
You think you deserve that pain but you don't.
Christine Jesperson:
I mean, they kind of rub my ankles, but all shoes does that. I have low ankles.
Richard Swersey:
You think you deserve that pain, but you don't.
Christine Jesperson:
I don't think I deserve it.
Richard Swersey:
Well, not consciously maybe.
Christine Jesperson:
My ankles are just low...
Richard Swersey:
People think that foot pain is a fact of life, but life is actually better than that.
Michael:
I'll say. You should get some. Your whole life could be better. Just starting right now.
Christine Jesperson:
Call me, if you ever feel too old to drive.
Andrew:
I would love to believe in a universe where you wake up and don't have to to go to work and you step outside and meet two beautiful 18-year-old sister who are also girlfriends and are also very nice people.
Sylvie:
You want to be a little bird and get a little worm? Just lie down and peep.
Robby:
Peep, peep, peep.
Christine Jesperson:
Fuck! Fuck you! Fuck me! Fuck old people! Fuck children! Fuck peace! Fuck peace...
Richard Swersey:
[
after taking off the bandage from his hand] It needs air. It needs to do some living. Let's take my hand for a walk.
Andrew:
Dude, did you just give her the family discount?
Richard Swersey:
Yeah. She's my neighbor, and I'm trying to work on my karma. Do you know what karma means?
Andrew:
Yeah.
Richard Swersey:
It means that she owes me one.
Michael:
I just wish I had met her 50 years sooner.
Christine Jesperson:
Yeah.
Michael:
But then maybe I needed 70 years of life to be ready for a woman like Ellen.
Heather:
But this is better 'cause it won't matter if we mess up. And we'll be together.
Peter Swersey:
So, do you have anything new in the chest? You know, the hope chest.
Housewares Saleswoman:
I think everything's gonna be computerized in twenty years.
Sylvie:
Soup won't be computerized.
Housewares Saleswoman:
Why not?
Sylvie:
It's a liquid.
Peter Swersey:
I'd live up there if I could, if there was no gravity
Sylvie:
Yeah, but if you lived up there, all the stuff in my room would fall on you and crush you and you'd die
Christine Jesperson:
But she's the love of your life, You're just going to let her go?
Michael:
No, she's just going...
Nancy:
Email wouldn't even exist if it weren't for AIDS.
Robby:
Mom says we have a chore wheel.
Richard Swersey:
What?
Peter Swersey:
Nothing.
Robby:
A chore wheel. You put chores on it and then you can spin it. There's this metal thing and it helps it to spin. It's spinning from the metal.
Sylvie's Mom:
Kids are so adaptable.
Sylvie:
Am I adaptable?
Sylvie's Mom:
Yes.
Richard Swersey:
Yes, well, they have absolutely no control over their lives, so... But if things were reversed - you know, like that movie Freaky Friday - you can be sure Pam and I would be sent to our rooms for all our Friday. Yes, they would give us a time-out and tell us we could not come out until we had really thought about what we had done.
[
pause. Very soberly]
Richard Swersey:
What have we done?
[
pause]
Richard Swersey:
But... there are no time-outs, there's not enough time for... time-out.
