Maurice and Ed in “Unfinished Business”

Maurice

[Maurice catches Ed talking to his statue] Look, Ed. If you've got something to say, you say it to me. You got that?

Ed

Okay, Maurice. But, uh -

Maurice

But what?

Ed

Well, it's just that he's a little easier to talk to.

Maurice

The statue?

Ed

Well, he doesn't throw my thoughts off like you do sometimes.

Maurice

I don't throw your thoughts off, son! What are you talking about?

Ed

Well, kind of like now, Maurice.

Maurice

I'm not in the business of throwing people's thoughts off! Is that clear?
