• Claire Pritchard : Isn't this nice, Grant? We always read the paper together in the morning when we were alive. I'm glad we started again.

  Grant Pritchard : Me too, Claire. I even like it better now. Look at this. Taxes are up. Insurance rates are up. Phone bills are up.

  Claire Pritchard : Why is that better?

  Grant Pritchard : We don't pay them anymore. We don't even have to pay for the paper! Let's face it, Claire, the only thing we have to worry about now is staying at room temperature.

• Grant Pritchard : Don't you know you can be sued for unplugging a TV while someone's watching it? I saw it on L.A. Law!

• Grant Pritchard : I hated science class! It smelled like a terrible combination of formaldehyde and burning sulfur! I can smell it right now.

  Claire Pritchard : No, dear. That's the cafeteria.

• Grant Pritchard : She's boring me to death. And I'm dead already.

• Grant Pritchard : And now, Derek, I think it's time to illustrate Pritchard's third law of motion. When a smaller object hits a larger, uglier object first, the smaller object should really get the hell out of here.
