Maggie Peterson : Okay, mister. What do you have to say about this?
Andy Barclay : About what?
Maggie Peterson : You know what I'm talking about. Turning the TV on, and putting Chucky in front of it, when I told you it was time to go to bed.
Andy Barclay : I didn't do that.
Maggie Peterson : Oh no? Then what did Chucky do? Walk into the living room and turn it on, all by himself?
Andy Barclay : Did you do that Chucky?
Maggie Peterson : Andy! Stop it! Now, get under the covers. Hurry!
Andy Barclay : But, Aunt Maggie...
Maggie Peterson : Under the covers and not another word!
Andy Barclay : But, I didn't put Chucky in front of the TV.
Maggie Peterson : Okay. Enough, alright? Now goodnight.
Andy Barclay : Goodnight, Aunt Maggie.
[Maggie leaves. Andy turns to Chucky]
Andy Barclay : I told you she'd be mad if you watched the news.

Maggie Peterson : Karen!
Karen Barclay : Hi.
Maggie Peterson : You know that doll that you wanted for Andy. Only costs a hundred bucks?
Karen Barclay : Yeah. The Good Guy doll.
Maggie Peterson : There's a peddler in the alley. Behind the store. And I think he's got one.
Karen Barclay : What? What would a peddler be doing with a doll?
Maggie Peterson : Who cares! Would you grab your purse and come on? We can get a deal on it.
Karen Barclay : But, I can't just leave my counter.
Maggie Peterson : Do you want the damn doll or don't ya?
Karen Barclay : Of course I do.
Maggie Peterson : Well, then come on.
[grabs Karen's hand]

Maggie Peterson : Okay. Show her.
[Peddler presents Good Guy doll]
Maggie Peterson : [to Karen] Well, is it a Good Guy or not?
Maggie Peterson : It is. It is!
Maggie Peterson : Yeah, well, I told you.
Karen Barclay : Oh, uh, how much do you want for it?
Peddler : Fifty bucks.
Maggie Peterson : Ten and not a penny more.
Peddler : Thirty.
Maggie Peterson : W-What? Are you kidding? That thing is not worth thirty dollars.
Peddler : Hey, look, take it or leave it. Somebody else can buy it.
Karen Barclay : I'll take it!
Maggie Peterson : Karen! It's too much money.
Karen Barclay : No, it isn't. You have no idea how much Andy wants this doll.
Maggie Peterson : But, we don't even know if the damn thing works.
Peddler : [hands Karen Good Guy doll box] There you go, lady. May it bring you and your kid a lot of joy, huh.
Karen Barclay : Thank you.
Maggie Peterson : Hey, hold on, you! H-How do we know if the damn thing isn't stolen, huh?
Peddler : Ah, steal this!
[gives inappropriate gesture to Maggie]
Maggie Peterson : Ah, steal this, yourself.
Karen Barclay : Maggie.
[grabs Maggie's hand]
Maggie Peterson : I think I dated him.
Karen Barclay : [laughs] Come on, we gotta get back to work.

Mr. Criswell : [Karen and Maggie return to their shift] Miss Barclay so nice of you to drop by, had a nice break?
Karen Barclay : Sorry Mr. Criswell I was only gone for a moment.
Maggie Peterson : Don't be hard on her Mr. Criswell we were just downstairs getting her son a birthday present.
Mr. Criswell : We have specified break times for activities like that Miss Peterson.
[to Karen]
Mr. Criswell : Mrs. Howell has taken sick and we're short handed tonight. You have to fill in for her.
Karen Barclay : [Taken aback] I can't! I have to pick up my son from daycare in an hour!
Mr. Criswell : I' m sorry but this is an emergency.
Maggie Peterson : Wait a second. I will take over for her.
Mr. Criswell : Miss Peterson you work in shoes, not in jewelery. You'll simply have to do it. Now you can take off at 5 but you have to be back by 7.
Karen Barclay : It's my son's birthday.
Mr. Criswell : Miss Barclay, are you happy with your job here?
Karen Barclay : [Defeated] Yes of course I am.
Mr. Criswell : Then I suggest that...
Maggie Peterson : [Interrupting] Chill out will you, Walter? I will take of Andy for you.
Karen Barclay : Oh Maggie you can't.
Maggie Peterson : Don't be silly. It will be the hottest date I had in months.
Mr. Criswell : [sarcastically] I can't imagine why.
