• Leigh Anne Touhy : [talking about the Tuohy's Christmas card photo with Michael in it] 

  Elaine : He looks so big compared to you like Jessica Lange right next to King Kong

  [amidst chuckles] 

  Beth : Hey, does Michael get the family discount at Taco Bell? 'Cause if he does Sean is gonna lose a few stores.

  Leigh Anne Touhy : He's a good kid.

  Elaine : Well, I say you make it official and just adopt him

  [laughs] 

  Leigh Anne Touhy : He's going to be eighteen in a few months it doesn't make much sense to legally adopt.

  [they all stare at her] 

  Sherry : Leigh Ann, is this some sort of white guilt thing?

  Elaine : What would your Daddy say?

  Leigh Anne Touhy : Um... before or after he turns around in his grave? Daddy's been gone five years Elaine. Make matters worse you were at the funeral, remember? You were wearing Chanel and that awful black hat? Look, here's the deal, I don't need y'all to approve my choices alright, but I do ask that you respect them. You have no idea what this boy has been through and if this becomes some running diatribe, I can find overpriced salad a lot closer to home.

  Sherry : Leigh Ann, I'm so sorry, we didn't mean to...

  Elaine : No, we didn't really.

  Beth : I think what you are doing is so great. Opening up your home to him... honey, you are changing that boy's life.

  Leigh Anne Touhy : No, he's changing mine.

  Elaine : [snidely]  And that's great for you. But, seriously, Leigh Ann, aren't you worried for Collins? I mean, she's a beautiful white girl, and he's a big, black boy.

  Leigh Anne Touhy : Shame on you.

  [gets up] 

  Leigh Anne Touhy : I'm getting this.

  [she leaves]
