Quotes:

Dave: I don't see how you can eat those sandwiches.
Bill McNeal: I'll admit they're not what you would call conventionally tasty. I guess they just remind me of the sandwiches my mom used to make.
Dave: Your mom made you sandwiches like that?
Bill McNeal: She used to make a month's worth in advance and put them for me on a box out in the porch. She was quite a woman.
Dave: I'll bet she was.
