Quotes
- Bobby: What's staging?
- Peggy: It's like a home makeover. I fill the house with flowers, candles, and nice furniture so people won't have a chance to imagine how bad it's going to look with their crap in it.
- Bill: "The last hose you'll ever buy." I've had to buy it three times. And I'm buying it again. This is gonna be the one!
- Peggy: That jerk killed two of our sales last month because the houses had "structural problems." Like every house doesn't have those.
- Nancy: Ugh, ugly people sure do ruin a lot. They've done studies with newborns and if given the choice, babies would rather go to pretty strangers than their own ugly parents.
- Peggy: Well, obviously, babies are not as stupid as they look.
- Peggy: Hank, if God forbid you were desperate to keep your job and had to peddle propane in our living room, I would not object.
- Hank: All right, fine. But please don't ever compare acting to propane again.
- Frank: Peggy, I know "writer's word is gold," but do I have to say this?
- Peggy: "French doors"?
- Frank: Doors is fine; it's the other word.
- Peggy: Okay, I do not know what the French did to you, but I will work around them.
- Hank: I got enough problems with these actors crawling all over my house, eating imaginary bananas when real ones are sitting right there in a bowl.
- Dale: I could rid you of your "extremely attractive pests," Hank. I won't say when, I will say scorpions.
- Bobby: Dad, mom's been typing for six hours straight, except for that fifteen minutes when she just started crying.
- Peggy: Hank, it is impossible to please all my actors... but... I... just... did! (closes laptop) Oh! Forgot to save.
- Hank: I'm gonna vomit.
- Peggy: Be strong, Hank. Remember, this is the only way to save our house. But if you need to, we could use an extra carpet stain in Bobby's room.
