"we don't have to check with alf." "that's where we're going." "it's really got something for everyone." "i'm sorry... did you say i should get hair in the peanut butter, or i shouldn't?" "just toss it out." "the hair or the peanut butter?" "both!" "no problem!" "why don't i believe that?" "oh my gosh...a shakespeare festival." "willie, there's hair in our peanut butter."

"your mother and i... kate and i, have talked, and we decided that we should stay here." "at the table?" "no, but in or around the house." "around the house?" "we can go outside... do we get to cross the street?" "we just thought, instead of going far away, it would be more fun to stay home, where things are not so different... and, do... the things we do every day." "i think you sold them, dear." "no sale, here." "it bites wind." "alf!" "that's not hair talk!" "let's get back to the vacation." "we should talk." "how come we're not going?" "did you lose your money?" "been playing the ponies?"
