Who wants to see a rich boy get his butt whooped?

Carla

Wait a minute, I can't leave. If you're gonna fight, go fight in the back. But remember, you've got to bus your own blood.

View quote →

Oh hi. I hope I'm not too late. I heard my boyfriend was coming here to fight that nice bartender.

Fight? I've had sneezes that lasted longer.

Well, everyone, you are looking at a winner.

You were the best kisser upper? Gee what does that trophy look like?

S7 E15 Don't Paint Your Chickens
View quote →

What kind of problem should I make up?

Carla

Well how about this, I once took one of my kids to the school psychiatrist and he said the kid had kleptomania.

Anything come of it?

Carla

Got a couple of pens and a leather appointment book.

Or you could try using my problem. I've always had this terrible fear of being a failure.

Carla

You are a failure.

Then I've licked it.

S7 E18 What's Up, Doc?
View quote →

For God's sake. Are you still going on about your stupid vegetable?

It's not my vegetable, Norm. It belongs to the whole world.

Carla

Aren't you vegetable enough for the world?

S7 E19 The Gift of the Woodi
View quote →

Carla, you hate your sister, don't you?

Carla

Sure, why?

What would I have to do to get the two of you back together again?

Carla

Simple, Sam. Ask me to come down and identify her body.

S7 E21 Sisterly Love
View quote →

You know it's quite remarkable. To float something as heavy as a wedge of lime, beer must have quite a high buoyancy factor.

Carla

So do your loafers.

Call me old-fashioned Cliff, but the only thing I like floating in my beer is my liver.

S8 E1 The Improbable Dream: Part 1
View quote →

Emotional crises can affect our sensory perceptions. Devastating. I've read volumes on hysterical blindness, loss of hearing, even total loss of speech.

Carla

Clavin had to pick blindness.

Carla, you're not helping.

Carla

I'm not trying.

S8 E4 How to Marry a Mailman
View quote →
MMargaret

The men up in Canada well they just don't compare to you. They're just pale pathetic imitations of you, Cliff.

Carla

Boy that must be one butt ugly country.

S8 E4 How to Marry a Mailman
View quote →

On this day in Boston's History? Yeah so they run this column every day. It tells you what happened 10 years ago, 50 years ago. What are we looking for? The last time she [Rebecca] had sex?

Carla

No no no, this only goes back 100 years.

Why are you all so interested in my sex life?

Somebody has to be.

S8 E6 The Stork Brings a Crane
View quote →
Carla

I told you he was my husband. I had twins with Eddie.

GGloria

So what? So did I.

Yikes.

Carla

At least mine don't give you warts when you touch them.

S8 E7 Death Takes a Holiday on Ice
View quote →
Carla

It's not fair. I swear I get all the disadvantages of being married and none of the perks.

Wait, there are perks?

S8 E7 Death Takes a Holiday on Ice
View quote →

My grandmother cleaned out her attic. Guess what she found?

Carla

Your grandfather.

No, he doesn't go in the attic.

S8 E8 For Real Men Only
View quote →

I want you to tell me straight. How good are your kids at breaking and entering anyway? And do not brag about them just because you're their mother.

Carla

Well that depends, what kind of system are we talking about here?

It's a Triton 5000 Sonic with laser beams.

Carla

They're not that good. But feel free to call if you're ever trapped in a late model car. They'll have you and the radio out in 60 seconds.

S8 E10 The Art of the Steal
View quote →

We no longer think of ourselves as three individuals. We are three parts of the same machine, working together. Three people with one single purpose.

Carla

Not to drown.

All right, two single purposes; not to drown and win the race.

What about you know not getting all wet and getting all sick?

All right three single purposes.

Carla

How about buying the bar back?

Does anyone have a piece of paper?
