'Still have gas problems, Mr. Quigley?'

"All other letters have been disallowed."

"When I suggested you should walk a couple of miles a day I didn't mean to just see me!"

'-not back with the same old corn are we?'

'No thanks. I'm just squinting...'

'I can't wait for a generic version of eyes of newts to come out.'
