"Not on the couch! I just had it reupholstered"
"Andrew take your sister into the kitchen. Get some towels, boil some water. Everything is gonna be fine! I'm a doctor."
"You're a dentist! What if there are complications?"
"Should an emergency arise we'll simply call an amulet."
"How many rum punches did you have?"
"There was punch in that rum?"
MOM! We're gonna bake you a cake when the doctor says your cancer's gone.
Great! Grab this. (hands him a sack of rodent poison)
You know that possum that's been ruining our garden?
(Happily Yeah, me and Preston named him Scruffles!
Don't give him a name, he's not gonna be around much longer.
(concerned) You're not gonna hurt him are you?
Honey, I put up a fence and he burrowed right under it. The man at the garden centre said these are crafty creatures and there's only one way to stop 'em.
So you're gonna kill him?
Sweetie, let me ask you something. If you had to choose between mommy's beautiful garden and a gross, mean, dirty possum, what would you pick?
Ok, we're done talkin' here. (she grabs the bags from him, leaving him looking a little upset)
Ok, now you're scaring me.
Look at yourself. You've declared jihad on a possum.
This is not a joke, Tom. Something has attacked our home and, when that happens, you don't just stand by. You fight it! Screw this creature that has come into our lives uninvited and is trying to destroy us! It will not defeat me!
OK. You do what you need to do.
