- Earl: When you're a little older Charlene, perhaps you'll realize family is all you really have in the world and all you really need. Ethyl: I've come to be on the game show. Earl: Who needs you? Fran: Grandma Ethyl is part of the family. Earl: She's the annoying part of the family Fran. Edit
- Robbie: I'm a little confused about the nature of reality. Earl: No kidding? Robbie: Like if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to see it or hear it, did it actually fall? Fran: Ooh! Now that is intriguing. Who can build on that? (Earl gets up from the dinner table and walks out of the room) Fran: Where are you going? Earl: I'm going to see if the tree fell. I'll be back in a couple of days. Edit
- Fran: So Earl, how was your day? Earl: Yes dear, whatever you say. Fran: So kids, what's new in school? Robbie: Sure Mom. Charlene: I'll get to it. (Fran sighs) Edit
