The infamous O'Connell curse seems to have claimed another victim when a falling satellite hits Rick.

- Maggie: Calling you a moron is an insult to morons. Broccoli has more brain power than you. Cauliflower! edit »
- Maggie: Are you suggesting that Bill and I have an affair?
Woman: Well, the truth is, Maggie, I can't stand to look at him.
Maggie: You want me to kill him?
Woman Just date him - let nature take its course. edit » - Chris: A funeral is more for the survivors than anybody else. In this case, that's Maggie, who's been a survivor more times than she'd care to count. I know you all remember Rick's predecessor Dave. He fell asleep on a glacier and froze to death. But before Dave there was Glenn, and Glenn and his Volvo took a wrong turn and ended up on a missile test range. And then there was Bruce, victim of a terrible fishing accident. And then there was Harry. Remember Harry? He died when he was out…uh…umm…how was it?
Maggie: Picnic. At a picnic.
Chris: Picnic. Right. Potato salad. You know, some people could look at this string of five deaths and say, "Hey, this is weird. Something's going on here." But I want to say, Maggie, on behalf of us all: we don't think it's your fault. We don't believe in any curse. Right everybody? Come on, you can do better than that. Right everybody? edit » - Rick: I don't mean for you to look out for me like that, I mean for you to look out for me the way that I mean! edit »
