- Francis: [Francis and Otto are stuck in a well] Otto?
- Otto Mannkusser: Oh, are you still here? I thought you quit.
- Francis: You were right, this is my fault. For some reason I've been sabotaging everything lately. Knowing I've been here for a year it's like people are depending on me now. And at some point, I know I'm gonna let them down.
- Otto Mannkusser: Don't be ridiculous! No one expects you to be perfect. If I wanted perfection I would have hired a robot; or a Swede! But I hired you, Francis, because you are smart, you are a hard worker, and when you make a mistake, you'll fix it. If falling down a well every once in a while is the price I must pay to have you, so be it!
- Francis: Thanks, Otto.
- Boone Vincent: You can't hold on to the past, Lois. You've got to live in the here and now. Because the here and now is a special, special gift. That's why I call it "The Present".
- Otto Mannkusser: [to Francis] No one expects you to be perfect. If I wanted perfection, I would have hired a robot. Or a Swede.
- Reese: Come on, Gordo, one more bite and it's all gone.
- Dewey: What are you doing with my rabbit?
- Reese: Just giving him his afternoon bacon.
- Dewey: He's too fat! You have to stop feeding him. I'm the one who has to sit through the Junior Farmers meetings while everyone makes fun of him.
- Reese: Those people are small-minded idiots who have no idea what we're trying to do.
- Dewey: What *are* we trying to do?
- Reese: I don't know. I kind of had this vision of me riding him through town, knocking over cars. But that's probably not realistic.
