- Harriette Winslow: Carl, put a sock in it.
- Carl Winslow: [yelling] I will *not* put a sock in it!
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Then I will!
- [stuffs her sock in his mouth]
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Let's go, Fletcher.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Alright, Carl, what's all this malarky about me being too old?
- Carl Winslow: Well Mama, you're 84, don't you think that's a little late to take up parasailing?
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: That's where you're wrong, Carl. There's nothing so cute, as a granny with a chute.
- Carl Winslow: [rides in the living room on a motor chair] Hi Mama, what do you think?
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: [aghast] Lord, you've gotten too lazy to walk around your own house?
- Carl Winslow: No, Mama it's for you.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Carl, what am I going to do with that thing?
- Carl Winslow: Well you can do lots of things, it can take you to the store, take you to the movies, take you to the park.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Carl, if I take that to the park, won't somebody steal it while I'm jogging?
- Carl Winslow: Mama, that's my point, you shouldn't be jogging.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Why not?
- Carl Winslow: Because you're too old.
- Carl Winslow: Mama, I'm worried about what'll happen to you if you don't slow down.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: Carl, I'm worried about what'll happen to me if I *do* slow down.
- Carl Winslow: But Mama, some of the things you do are dangerous, you could get hurt, even... you could die, and that scares me.
- Estelle 'Mother' Winslow: I'm not scared about dying, I'm too busy being thankful that I'm alive.
