"What are we doing?" "Are we even working out?" "Of course we are" "Just because we're not sweating doesn't mean we're not getting a good workout" "Just the kind of answer I'd expect from the owner of an Angela Lansbury workout video" "Ready?" "Flip" "My ball smells" "Smell my ball" "Smell your own ball!" "Well, if I could do that" "I'd be the happiest girl on earth" "I don't know what that means" "Hey, losers how you doing?"

"Yep" "You can laugh at "stake it" now but when it becomes my "dyn-o-mite"" "or my "leggo my eggo"" "or my "hey, hey, hey"" "Then you'll be laughing,because" "Wait." "What..." "Who's that guy?" "That guy?" "Um, I don't know He's that guy You know what's his name Generic McPlain Wrap" "No, I know him I just I mean not from the gym from someplace else" "Oh, who cares, Will?" "Probably from some law case where you said 'blah' and he said 'blah' and a judge said 'blah' and ten people died of boredom" "No I could swear I" "I'm done" "I know how I know him" "You slept with that guy?" "No!" "We just fooled around" " But he's a six" " He's a seven" " He's a five" " He's a six" "Sold!"

"Would you...."" ""Cuddle me bum?"" ""Cuddle me bum!"" "Cuddle Bum!" "Oh, that's rich!" "Oh, it's good to laugh again!" "So, Cuddle Bum's in the gym" "What are you gonna do?" "Everything's tainted" "That fridge a derriere has been on every piece of equipment in this place" "I'm not gonna do anything All right?" "I-I'm a grownup He's a grownup" "If we run into each other we'll just act like grownups" "Excuse me Don't I know you?" "No I don't think so Come on." "Let's go" "Ok, I just gave a homeless guy a quarter and now I'm pretty sure it was Johnny Depp" "Karen, can you call the maintenance guy and tell him the door keeps sticking" "I hate having to reset it every time" "No Honey, I'm watching these burly movers clear out the office next door" "They're moving out?" "I've always wanted that space" "Have they rented it yet?" "Is it still available?" "I don't know You move that desk, bitch!" "Stop that!" "You work in an office" "Conduct yourself with a little dig that fine ass" "Hey, sweet-cheeks Do fries go with that shake?" "You like?" "What?" "!" "How dare you?" "That was offensive!" "Filthy pig!" "I cannot believe they're moving out" "I always promised myself that if that space ever opened up" "I would rent it break through that wall and expand my business" "Oh, honey You have a dream" "You know I have a dream, too" "To be rich and beautiful and have a great body" "Oh, look My dream came true" "I just wish this weren't happening right now when I'm so low on cash God why did I give Johnny Depp that quarter?" "Well, Grace Why don't you just ask me for the money?" "I mean, come on I'd give you the loan in a second" "Really?" "Are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure, honey" "All you have to do is ask" "Ok Karen, would you loan me the money?" "Well, I'll have to see a presentation" "What?" "Grace, I don't know what your business is" "I don't know what you do I mean" "For all I know, you could be using the money to buy" "Ms Pac-Man machines and pizza ovens" "Karen, this isn't Chuck E Cheese" "You know that I'm a designer" "All I know is there's a pizza here every day at noon" "I'm not gonna pitch myself to you" "It's insulting" "I would rather try and get a loan from a bank" "All right Well suit yourself" "Never gonna happen" "You know what?" "I am gonna get that loan" "And not just because I'm a smart successful businesswoman who's run her own design firm for five years but also because I'll be wearing something see-through?" "Here's my loan application some information about the business and my profit and loss statements for the past five years" "I think you'll be very impressed" "I know that I am" "Monday morning good for the presentation?" "I'll see you at the crack of noon and wear something sheer" "Oh, heySorry" "Are you gonna use the 30s?" "Actually, I was gonna use 35" "Oh, doesn't matter anyway 'cause I was gonna use the 40s" "Who am I kidding?" "I was gonna use the 30s" "Thank God, 'cause I'm going for the 15s" "I'm Curt" "I'm Will" "I'd shake your hand but it looks kind of heavy" "Ooh, yeah!" "Oh, sorry Just a little thing" "I do to keep me going" "Really?" ""Ooh, yeah"" "Where'd you pick that up?" "The remainders bin at Lame Phrases 'R' Us?"

"Yeah Whenever you need that extra burst of energy all you have to say is" "Stake it" "Exactly What?" "!" "Stake it!" "Hey, that's my phrase!" "Hey!" "So, I'll see you there tonight around 8:00" "Great" "Will." "This is terrible This is horrible" "Did you see that guy that was just here?" "We are going out tonight How great is that?" "Someone has stolen "stake it"" "I was on the treadmill about to stake it and this personal trainer out of nowhere yells, "stake it!"" "Do you want to hear about this guy I just met?" "So I went up to her and I said I said" ""Excuse me I don't mind you using stake it but you do know that it's my catch phrase"" "And she said she's been saying "stake it" for years that her sister's ex-boyfriend invented "stake it" in Chicago in 1994 while working in a plastic factory!" "But how can that be?" "Ok, Jack I don't know what to say I'm outraged" "We are not gonna let her get away with this" "We are gonna slap such a lawsuit on her she won't know what hit her yeah, Thanks, Will" "Yeah either that or I'll pants you in public" "Let's go with that" "Hey, Curt, it's, uh it's me Will again" "I'm just calling again to, uh, to tell you what a great time" "I had the other night again Uh, still love to hear from you" "You got my home number my office, my pager, my cell" "Uh, I guess that's it Although my CB handle is Big Willie" "Oh, crap!"

"God, that line's older than" ""this is the first time I've ever done this with a man"" "No I'm telling you he's not blowing me off" "Hey, come on Let's go ask Marcy" "She knows all the gossip here I swear she's like a female version of Liz Smith" "Hey, girl, give me some spritz" "Anyway, listen, Marcy" "You know that guy that used to come in here around this time?" "Is it Curt?" "Oh, yeah I know Curt Yeah Well, my friend here" "Will went on a date with him about a week ago" "Oh, wow, are you the "Nibbler"?" "I beg your pardon?"

"Come on It's Will Truman" "We went out once like four years ago" "Will Truman I seem to remember an answering machine by that name" "Look, I just I want to say I'm sorry You know we went out I never called you back" "Of course I remember you" "I cuddled your bum" "Well, why didn't you return my calls?" "You know, I thought we had a good time" "I wasn't all that confident to begin with you know, and you made me feel like" "I was no better than a seven" "Oh, Mitchell Come on You are not a seven" "Look I'd just got out of a relationship and I was lonely I didn't think" "I could handle anything more than one night so I'm sorry" "Well, better late than never I suppose" "Will!"

"You married someone rich!" "You know nothing about business" "Oh, yeah?" "Well, I know thatin today's uncertain economic climate people are taking a long hard look at any purchase that could be considered a luxury item eg, interior design Then, when you factor in the leading economic indicator ie" "winter housing starts the negligible impact of the recent interest rate cuts decline in occupancy rates in corporate office space it just seems to me that a smaller company Will be better equipped to respond to shifting market forces but I guess you probably already knew that" "I know where the market is" "Come on, honey That's why" "I didn't want to give you the loan" "It's better you stay small" "Lean mean and flat" "But, Kar, why didn't you just say all of this in the first place?" "Because expanding this pizza parlor was your dream" "I didn't wanna just poo on that" "It's better that you just think" "I didn't give you the money 'cause I'm mean" "Oh, Karen That's sweet" "Now, come on" "Bust my bust outta here" "Thanks Now, come on Give me a hug" "Got you!"
