Quotes2

  • Hal: But this is ridiculous. $93 to get gifts for four boys.
  • Lois: Well, it's our own fault. We just weren't frugal enough.
  • Hal: What else can we do? We're already doing No-Electricity Wednesdays, Lunch Lotteries, Family Flush.
  • Lois: You couldn't have said twice as good as Disneyland?
  • Hal: You saw those presents, Lois! What was I supposed to do? My presents were crap! What did you make them?
  • Lois: Lanyards.
  • Hal: Still better than what I had. Look, I underestimated these boys, Lois, and they deserve to have a really great Christmas. How much money do we have?
  • Lois: Zero.
  • Hal: No, I mean everything: credit cards, loose change, everything?
  • Lois: Oh. Minus $512.
  • Hal: What? Oh, for God's sakes! Can you think of a Christmas reason for stopping somewhere I can sell blood?
  • Lois: Oh, Hal, don't worry about it. It'll be okay. You just need to find something that's a thousand times better than Disneyland, open on Christmas Day, and free.
  • Hal: Just because it's hard, Lois, doesn't mean it's impossible.
