- Jim: Well, the old cafeteria food isn't as bad as I remember it.
- Tommy: Yeah actually it was actually kind of good.
- Nancy: It both goes to show you, you've been away for a long time.
- Jim: My little sister graduating, makes me feel old.
- Tommy: Hey if you're old, I'm ancient.
- Nancy: While you're deciding who will be buried first, I've got things to do see ya.
- Uncle Ben: [after looking in the clock in box] It isn't here.
- Howard: I told you Ben, If you couldn't put in enough regular work hours, I'd have to let you go.
- Uncle Ben: But I will Howard, just give me another chance.
- Howard: Another chance. Do you realize how many chances you've had? At least a dozen.
- Uncle Ben: Oh come on Howard. You know you can do the work. A bottle alone. It's getting worse, not better.
- Howard: I know you can.
- Uncle Ben: Please Howard be fair.
- Howard: I've been more fair to you. You know that, but I got to be fair to myself too. I run a business and I can't operate on promises.
- Uncle Ben: I didn't think you'd do this to an old friend.
- Howard: Somehow, you're not the old friend I used to know. You've changed Ben.
- [Ben gets fired from work]
- Nancy: Mr. McFarland.
- Kenneth McFarland: Nancy.
- Nancy: I was just on my way to see you
- Kenneth McFarland: My meeting let out a half an hour ago. You're welcome to come in if you like.
- Nancy: Are you sure you're not too busy? It's just a personal thing.
- Kenneth McFarland: I'm sure.
- Nancy: Uncle Ben was Mamas brother and our only other relative in the whole world. We all loved Uncle Ben but, well, he wasn't exactly a pillar of the community. He worked enough to buy himself another drink. And mom worried about him.
- Kenneth McFarland: Make yourself comfortable.
- Nancy: Thank you.
- [Nancy and Kenneth both sits down in the office chairs]
- Kenneth McFarland: Now Nancy what can I do for you?
- Nancy: It's about my Uncle Ben. I... I honestly don't know if there's anything you can do President McFarland.
- Kenneth McFarland: Try me.
- Nancy: Have you met my Uncle ben?
- Kenneth McFarland: No I don't believe I have.
- Nancy: [the camera turns to the flashback of her childhood] Let me try to explain. My father died when I was 2 years old. I don't remember him at all, that left the four of us. My mom, me and my 2 older brothers Jim and Tom. They both graduated from here.
- Kenneth McFarland: I know, outstanding young men, both of them.
- Nancy: Mom got a job in the grocery store to keep her family going. She'd work all day and work hard way into the night, long after we were asleep. We didn't have much but we had each other and that's all that mattered.
