Question: When they shot Bambi's mother, did you find that a sad moment? At all?
I'm sure she's mounted on a nice wall in a fine home somewhere.
I remember when Goldie died, may she rest in peace.
Your grandmother?
My goldfish.
Goldie the goldfish. Clever. You should write.
I loved her so. And then there she was one day belly-up in her bowl, her little body just covered in ick. We gave her a 21 flush salute.
Lovely tribute.
No. She just wouldn't go down.
Look, Gracie! Santa took a bite out of the cookies we left him.
I didn't know Santa wore red lipstick.
The man gets out of the house once a year. Live and let live.
Niles, did you remember my attache?

Does that mean she kicked him in the–?
Goodnight Brighton.

Ms. Fine, is it? Which agency exactly was it that arranged for your position here?
Oh, I didn't come through an agency. Mr. Sheffield hired me right off the street.
It's not like it sounds. I tried her out for the weekend first.
Aw he must've been so cute in his little crib, with his lil' silver pacifier in his little three pieced diaper
Maggie, shut your mouth. We are not a PEZ dispenser.
Ms. Fine, what I am trying to say is if you are intent on having a fling then there are certain rules regarding proper places for a fling to be flung.
Mm-hmm. So I take it the previous nannies never, er... flang?

I'll give you a hint. [Dons a red rubber nose]
You're studying to be Karl Malden?
It is just a P.T.A. Meeting.
Meanwhile, some of those Ps and Ts could be lonely hes.
You've certainly got the A for it.

My God, she has got something, hasn't she?
