"It's a cage. It's gilded, and I love it."

'Don't be silly- of course you're going into the family business!'

The Bearskin Hat Family

'Don't bother Daddy -- He fell in the moat again.'

"Friend or foe?"

'Let it go, will you? -- That whoopie cushion incident was years ago!'

'I wish you wouldn't bring work home with you!'
