- Grace Sheffield: [telling Yetta a story] Where was I? Oh yeah... no wait... oh yeah... no wait...
- Yetta Rosenberg: You see sweetie? You're not a curse, I'm not dead
- Yetta Rosenberg: [to Fran]
- Yetta Rosenberg: and I wish I was.
- Maxwell Sheffield: Good morning. How are you two ladies doing today?
- Grace Sheffield: Fine, daddy.
- Fran Fine: [under her breath] Eh, been better.
- Maxwell Sheffield: Everything- everything all right, Miss Fine?
- [Fran just mumbles incoherently]
- Maxwell Sheffield: Miss Fine, is there something bothering you?
- Fran Fine: No, what could possibly be bothering me?
- [under her breath]
- Fran Fine: I'm a fool and a laughingstock.
- Maxwell Sheffield: I beg your pardon?
- Fran Fine: Nothing!
- Maxwell Sheffield: Miss Fine, you've barely spoken a word to me in 12 hours. It's beginning to scare me...
- Fran Fine: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- [quickly, under her breath]
- Fran Fine: I invited my mother. I'll never hear the end of it. Come on, Gracie.
- [they begin to leave]
- Maxwell Sheffield: Miss Fine, you are not leaving this house until I know why you're so upset with me!
- Fran Fine: I'm not upset with you! You're the best boss anyone could possibly ask for.
- [quickly, under her breath]
- Fran Fine: Eat tripe and die.
