Fred: And the stealing. The stealing that goes on. It's horrible. He said one night a guy sneaks into his room and stole his false teeth out of the glass. And the next morning, he met him in the hall, and he smilled at him with his own teeth. (edit)
Miss Ecker: Well, welcome aboard Mr. Sanford. Just what this place needs: New blood.
(Fred makes a mocking face at Miss Ecker) (edit)
Old Man: (to Fred) Hey old timer, what's happening?
Fred: I'm having a fit, that's what happening!!
(Fred and the old man continue arguing as Lamont tries to calm Fred down) (edit)
Miss Ecker: (suggesting things for Fred to do at the old folks home) Do you like leathercrafts? Perhaps you could make your son a wallet.
Fred: When he comes home from his trip, he's gonna want a purse. (edit)
Miss Ecker: Is it full of clothes and miscellaneous? (referring to Fred's suitcase)
Fred: No, it's full of wine bottles and a corkscrew. Didn't my son tell you, I'm a wino. (edit)
