Adam: There is a question about who has jurisdiction in the Raiders' attempt to move from Oakland to LA.
Charlie: Jurisdiction between the LA and the Oakland courts?
Adam: No, between me and sports. Since it is a story that deals with dollars and not first downs, I say it's a business story. edit »
Neighbor: It's terrible to be without water. Is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all?
Lou: Now that you mention it, there is. Could I borrow your bathroom for just a minute?
Neighbor: Anything but that. edit »
Kenny Price: Lou, the difference between being right and proving you're right, is called "legal fees." edit »
Animal: Why is it hard to believe I have a brother?
Art: It's just that we think of you as one of a kind. edit »
