Ellen Powell : [David turns off Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, runs down the stairs] Noooo I was watching tha-a-a-a-a-a-at!
David Powell : I'm sorry but you weren't even in here.
Ellen Powell : I was watching in the bedroom. You know I never miss meeting my hotshot real estate mogul. So how many rustic fixer uppers did you sell today?
-
David Powell : Did you have any idea how much these chairs are going to cost? $2,100 for two chairs. I'm still trying to pay off the jacuzzi and the new patio that you wanted.
Ellen Powell : Sure, blame it on me. I just wanted to give us a place where we could entertain your boss like the Hendersons do. And maybe he'd see you could handle the big commercial clients instead of pushing those $50,000 hovels. But no, you only think about what it costs, you are so cheap.
David Powell : Cheap, who are you calling cheap? Didn't I buy you that stupid diamond necklace you wanted so badly? 'I just have to have that'. I could've bought a car for what that thing cost.
-
David Powell : What are you, some kind of barfly shrink?
Mr. Smith : No, not really. My specialty's problem solving, you could call me a contractor.
David Powell : Well thank you, I don't need any therapy or aluminum siding, or life insurance tonight.
Mr. Smith : You're right, what you need to do is eliminate that problem.
-
Ellen Powell : You're not coming into this bedroom.
David Powell : I wouldn't be caught dead in there.
Ellen Powell : You've been dead in there for years.
David Powell : You're absolutely right, but who wouldn't die in there? No man has come within 10 feet of your bed except Johnny Carson, you even fell asleep on him.
-
David Powell : I don't have to take this off of you anymore.
Ellen Powell : Then get a divorce, you think it's tough now, you just wait. I'll make your life miserable.
David Powell : You already perfected that to a fine art. And it's too bad because I used to love you, a long time ago.
-
Mr. Smith : Now here's what I want you to understand; you and this decision, it's like a marriage, only this is forever and you are wedded. So I'm going to ask you one more time, are you sure? Do you really want to do it?
David Powell : I do.
Mr. Smith : Very well, you may kiss the bride.
-
David Powell : Will it be violent?
Mr. Smith : What do you think I'm going to do, go in there and shoot her in the head or something? Look, it'll be done, tomorrow.
