- Manny: (about Bernard's "children's" story) I just have two teeny-weeny suggestions for changes. Bernard: Which are? Manny: Well... instead of... the er, academic and the journalist and the daughter. Erm, perhaps it could be about an... elephant? Bernard: An elephant? Manny: That's right. Bernard: I see. What's your other suggestion? Manny: Well, instead of the Stalinist purges and the divorce and the investigation, erm, it could be about... losing a balloon.
