Nancy Staples : [dropping Fred off at work] Now I know what a mother feels when her child goes to school for the first time.

Nancy Staples : [approaches Mr. Ramsey cautiously, who is at the Staples' house, reading a report] The coffee will be ready in just a little while.
Mr. Ramsey : Fine. You know, my, uh, my father's recipe for coffee was to mix salt and chocolate in with the grounds... cook them all up together. He'd never drink anything else.
Nancy Staples : Sounds wonderful.
Mr. Ramsey : They, uh, they serve it at a small downtown restaurant I eat at occasionally... I must remember to mention it to Fred. You said he was a confirmed coffee drinker?
Nancy Staples : Dedicated.
Mr. Ramsey : Fine. He's quite a young man, this husband of yours.
