Grandma Thora: $10. Who knows how much it's really worth. D.W.: It's just an ugly chair. Arthur: That's what you think. Appraiser: I would say it was made sometime in the 1790s. Grandma Thora: It's a Federal-style chair. D.W.: So what? Arthur: Shh.

-
D.W.: It's called water conversation. Arthur: You mean conservation. And what it's really called is "annoying your brother." D.W.: Miss Morgan says if you use up all the water, there'll be none left for my generation. Arthur: You're the same generation and I'm not using up all the water. D.W.: Mom!
