"Mom said you should empty the dishwasher since I helped her update her phone and computer. It pays to be smart."

"I'm just going to ring the doorbell so I have a chance of a spot in the bed."

"I do. Have your people contact my people to hammer out the details."

"Sophia, will you agree to form a joint exploratory committee for marriage?"

'I survive here because I understand the pecking order.'

"We want to make sure that your wish for us to give you grandchildren has nothing to do with your concerns about future vacancies at your chicken processing plant."

'That's Burt. Some developer made him an offer for his park bench he couldn't refuse.'
