Monica: Are you suggesting we just ignore the problems out there?
Earl: As patriotic citizens, it is our duty. (edit) Monica: Those are the eggs I borrowed last week.
Fran: Thank goodness, I have nothing for breakfast and I've already spent our grocery money for the week. Earl's paycheck just doesn't stretch as far as it used to.
Monica: Times are tough for everyone, a lot of my friends have lost their jobs. I think the economy's really in trouble. (edit) Baby: Um, why are four leggers bad?
Earl: Well you see, son, we have two legs, and they have four, so they're different, and therefore evil.
Baby: Well, I have four legs.
Earl: (laughs) No son, those are arms.
Baby: Oh, well, I walk on them.
Earl: (laughs) Well then I guess you're just a little young to understand the deeper meaning of race hatred. (edit) Earl: Oh Fran, it's a nightmare out there. I tell you, they're trying to kill us.
Robbie: Sounds like once again the government didn't think things through. See ya.
Earl: You! Ah it kills me to say it but he's right. The government it out of its mind; our guys are drowning and they're throwing bags of cement at them! A four-legger from the other side pulled me out.
Fran: Maybe the four leggers aren't your real enemies after all.
(Roy and Monica enter)
Roy: Pally boy, are you allright?
Monica: We saw the news and we rushed right over. (edit) Monica: It just seems stupid. You have to get married to stay in the country because of a law that doesn't make any sense?
Fran: (to Monica) We're not talking about a real marriage. It's just a way you can stay in the country and fight for your rights. What they're doing is wrong, don't let them run you out. (edit)
