Quotes 

• Norma : You scrub backs as well, I imagine?

• Norma : George, what about our trip to Wichita?

  George Adams : OK, you can go to Wichita. Take the boys and Mandy.

  Norma : Thank you, George.

  George Adams : On one condition.

  Norma : Anything you say.

  George Adams : Before you leave, I would like to feel that our marriage had a little more passion in it.

  Norma : George, that doesn't sound like a condition to me. That sounds like a deal.

  Norma : Deal.

  George Adams : Howdy-do.

• Norma : What do you want me to say?

  Norma : No.

  Ada May : Well, you can't have everything.

• Norma : George, does this mean we're gonna be farmers?
