- Nancy Krieger Weston: C'mon, you're telling me we can't get back to the car and there's no phone? Oh, man, Ethan is gonna go nuts. We have gotta figure out a way to get out of here.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Oh, they'll figure it out.
- Nancy Krieger Weston: You know what they're going to figure out? That we're dead on the highway is what they're going to figure out. Oh, this is so weird.
- Ellyn Warren: Oh, you guys, I am so sorry. This is all my fault and I am really sorry.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: It's not your fault.
- Ellyn Warren: Of course it's my fault. My God, I wouldn't go in the cave, I get us lost, now we can't even get back tonight. You're all mad, and I am really really sorry.
- Nancy Krieger Weston: No, no, it's not that we're not mad, it's just something that happened.
- Ellyn Warren: You should be mad. My God, I'm a jerk. Don't treat me like I'm some invalid child.
- Melissa Steadman: [setting down hiking pack gruffly] Listen. Ellyn. We know where we are. Now we can either camp out here tonight and wait until the cave opens in the morning, or we can scream at you. Which do you want?
- Ellyn Warren: I just want you to be honest with me, okay?
- Melissa Steadman: Okay. It's your fault. Does that make you feel better?
- Ellyn Warren: Spectacular view, Melissa.
- Melissa Steadman: The gear is all state-of-the-art. I mean, it's really been fun doing this, really.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: I like the duck. The duck is good.
- Ellyn Warren: It has obviously just been shot. And look at this fabulously handsome man.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Yeah. I always thought hunting would be a lot fairer if they gave the woodland animals automatic weapons also.
- Melissa Steadman: That would be great for this catalog, don't you think? Give the squirrels Uzis.
- Michael Steadman: Honey, I know the timing's not perfect, but God knows we really need the money, and I need to work with Elliot. I mean...
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Why?
- Michael Steadman: Why? Because we're a good team. I mean, you understand that.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Yeah, suppose I do. This camping trip, it meant a lot to me.
- Michael Steadman: All right, so we'll do it again. We'll just, we'll pick another weekend and we'll go, just the two of us. Okay, the two and a half of us.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Yeah, well, I'll be too big. You'll have to get a chair lift to take me up the mountain.
- Elliot Weston: You remember my friend Patty has that small agency?
- Michael Steadman: Um, Pat's House of Ads, yeah.
- Elliot Weston: Yeah. Anyway, he's got this client, Bite-A-Burger.
- Michael Steadman: Right. Here, grab that for me, will you?
- Elliot Weston: Sure.
- Michael Steadman: Excuse me.
- Elliot Weston: [lugging camping equipment upstairs] So, there's like, um... there's, like, 12 of 'em in the city.
- Michael Steadman: Uh-huh.
- Elliot Weston: Anway, um, they want to push this new side order, so there's, you know, like, this freelance assignment.
- Michael Steadman: Oh, good, Elliot. That's great.
- Elliot Weston: No, you don't understand. See, they like *our* work. You interested?
- Michael Steadman: I don't know.
- Elliot Weston: I mean, I know you didn't take the Pressman thing, and... you know, I was thinking if you are interested, there's kind of a rush.
- Michael Steadman: Uh-huh. What kind of rush?
- Elliot Weston: Monday.
- Michael Steadman: This Monday?
- Elliot Weston: Yeah.
- Michael Steadman: I'm going camping, Elliot.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Spill it, Michael.
- Michael Steadman: Spill what?
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Whatever it is you have to tell me.
- Michael Steadman: Elliot stopped by today.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: [sarcastic] Oh, that's a treat.
- Michael Steadman: He's been offered a job.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Oh, let me guess. Something to do with children and firearms?
- Michael Steadman: No. Actually, it's a freelance assignment for both of us.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: And what's the rest of it?
- Michael Steadman: I can't go camping.
- Melissa Steadman: [going on a camping trip] Hope, no treats until we get on the road.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: I thought we weren't gonna invite my mother.
- Nancy Krieger Weston: Oh, I love flannel. Don't you love flannel?
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Yeah. Especially when it's so worn it's about to rip. You know, just the right point.
- Melissa Steadman: [having put money into a malfunctioning soda machine] Great.
- Ellyn Warren: Sometimes if you bang it on the side...
- Melissa Steadman: That never works.
- Ellyn Warren: It does too, I do it all the time.
- Melissa Steadman: It doesn't work.
- Ellyn Warren: It does! God, just try it.
- Melissa Steadman: The tilt light's gonna go on. You want something else? Get a different soda if you want.
- Ellyn Warren: I don't want a different soda. Just hit it!
- Melissa Steadman: You hit it!
- Ellyn Warren: [hitting the soda machine] Oh, God, you're such a wimp. Ow.
- Melissa Steadman: I'm a wimp?
- Ellyn Warren: Yeah, and you're arrogant.
- Melissa Steadman: Yeah, and you're a pain in the butt.
- Ellyn Warren: Yeah? Well you're too competitive and you always need to be the boss.
- Melissa Steadman: I do not.
- Ellyn Warren: You do too.
- Melissa Steadman: I do not.
- Ellyn Warren: You do too.
- Melissa Steadman: I have to be the boss? I have never been a boss my whole life.
- Ellyn Warren: Yes, you're worse than Michael.
- Melissa Steadman: [truly offended] Worse than Michael?
- Ellyn Warren: [cracking a smile] I'm afraid so.
- Melissa Steadman: [strangling Ellyn] Worse than Michael?
- Ellyn Warren: [laughing] Okay, okay. Almost as bad.
- Melissa Steadman: That's more like it. And I don't get blisters.
