  • Lorna: ...So, now that we've determined that I belong here, let's talk about you.
  • Lorna: You're certifiable. You're welcome!
  • Michael: So, what are you doing over the summer?
  • Lorna: I have a job pumping gas.
  • Michael: You finally got the Supreme Court to hear your case, huh?
  • Lorna: Yeah.
  • Michael: They need me.
  • Lorna: I need you.
  • Lorna: You are certifiable! What is this? Some sort of smart-ass joke? You're taking cooking?
  • Michael: I want to learn how to cook.
  • Lorna: Yeah, right. You have some burning desire to learn how to make apple brown betty...
  • Michael: What are you doing here if you think so highly of it?
  • Lorna: Well, they wouldn't let me take auto mechanics, and I didn't have time to take the issue to the Supreme Court.
  • Michael: If you want to go back, that's fine with me.
  • Lorna: You're a bully.
  • Michael: No. I'm a liar.
  • Lorna: You're strange. I cut. I didn't feel like having my picture taken with those sub-humans.
