[Talking to Denise's boy-friend] If you don't plan on going to college then what do you plan on doing?

I'm a vegetarian.

[Cliff is instructing Theo how to carve a turkey]

Cliff

[imitating Julia Child] First, you slice ever so gently along the grain, following the contour of the bird.

Dad, why are you talking like that?

Cliff

[still imitating Julia Child] I have no idea; it's just that it makes me feel more secure when I'm in the kitchen.
