      • Clarence: Well, why don't we just sit down over here and have a nice little chat? Walter: That's quite a guy. (flatulent sound) Clarence: Walter, I'm shocked, you actually fell for the old whoopee cushion gag.

      • Clarence: Buddy, I'd like to go back to work? Being the life of the party is exhausting. Buddy: Yeah, your telling me.

      • Jamie: Did Buddy talk to his mother? Charles: No, he doesn't want to embarrass her. Jamie: Well, did he talk to his father? Buddy: He can't? Jamie: Well, did his father talk to his mother? Charles: They're not speaking to each other Jamie: What is this? The Marcelle Marceaux family.

      • Walter: Charles, welcome home? Lembeck, go home?

      • Jamie: You know I never thought of Buddy as having parents, I always thought he just sprouted in some dark wet corner and kept growing.

      • Clarence: Oh, Buddy's biggest fault is his tendency to be serious. Charles: Yes, I've always said that.

      • Buddy: Daddy, does Mom know your gonna be gone this long? Clarence: Mom, eh, probably not, but you know the old saying "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" I'm out of her sight and she's out of her mind.
