Lisa: Well, it's a good thing Lazlo didn't leave. Eb is sick.
Lazlo: Oh? Oh, that's too bad. He wasn't the one supposed to get sick.
Oliver: Whattaya mean he wasn't the one?
Lazlo: Well, you see, when you threw me out the window this morning, I put the Hungarian curse on you and Eb must have been standing in the way. edit »
Lazlo: (on learning the Monroe brothers are suing Oliver) Don't worry. I'll handle the case for you. I used to do a little law work in Hungary.
Oliver: I can handle the case myself. I'm an attorney.
Lazlo: I'm glad you got something to fall back on, the way you run this farm. edit »
Eb: (talking about his new roommate Lazlo) He's my friend. You know what he did for me last night? He let me sleep on the floor.
Oliver: Some friend.
Eb: He is. He said that mattress on the bed would ruin my back, so he let me sleep on the floor and he took the bed.
Oliver: Oh, boy. edit »
