• Carla: Where's Diane anyway?
• Sam: Ah, I gave her the night off. She trying to interview for a TA job down at the college.
• Carla: She'll never get it. She's a big A with no T's.

• Carla: Oh, no, no, no, not me. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like responsibility.
• Norm: What are you talking about? You have eight children.
• Carla: Well, I wouldn't if I were responsible.
