I know when I long to see you, I'm on fire. Not a muscle has moved. Leaves hang unruffled by any breeze. The air is still. I have fallen in love without taking a step. You are all wrong for me and I know it, but I can no longer care for my thoughts unless they are thoughts of you. When I am close to you, I feel your hair brush my cheek when it does not.

Ketchup: obviously the most popular condiment. I don't think anybody's going to disagree with me on that one. First of all, always wipe the bottles down. Sticky: there's nothing grosser than that. I mean, i'm sure there's something grosser... but it's pretty gross to have it sticky when you're trying to have a...
  • Janet Hall: Daddy's gonna play with his fire hose. That didn't sound right.
  • Janet Hall: Okay, well, here are your books. Uh, the Complete Idiots Guide to Surviving Divorce, The Divorce Workbook, and of course, How Come nobody loves me?
  • Lillian MacFarquhar: So, there you are darling, Mommy's a dyke.
  • Janet Hall: [George is about to fumigate a beehive] *BE* careful! Get it?
  • Johnny: No one knows what they want Jennifer, that's the human condition.
  • Jennifer: Some people know what they want, I mean, they might not know how to get it but they know what they want.
  • Jennifer: Some people know what they want. I mean, they may not know how to get it, but they know what they want.
