Terry : Where were you?
Sammy : Nowhere. I had dinner with my boss.
Terry : Kind of a late dinner, ain't it?
Sammy : Yeah. How was Rudy?
Terry : Fine. He's asleep.
Sammy : Did the plumber come?
Terry : Yeah, the fucking plumber came!
Sammy : Terry, just give me a break!
Terry : What's the matter with you?
Sammy : Nothing, I'm just tired.
Terry : Wanna smoke some pot?
Sammy : No I don't... why, you got some?
-
Sammy : [to Terry] Are you out of your mind? You know, I admit I may not be the best mother in the world, but I'm doing the best I know how, and he doesn't need you to rub his face in shit because you think it's good for him! He's gonna find out that the world is a horrible place and that people suck soon enough and without any help from you!

Sammy : [to Brian] You know, and if I were you, I'd be a little nervous about firing an employee I'd just had an affair with, okay?
-
Terry : [as they get in the car] Where are we going?
Sammy : To pick up Rudy.
Terry : What, do you not even want me to come visit now?
Sammy : Of course I want you to visit, you idiot! I've been looking forward to seeing you from the moment I got your letter, I told everyone in town that you were coming home, I cleaned the whole *fucking* house just so it would look nice for you! I had no idea you were just broke again! I wish you'd just send me an invoice!

Sammy : I don't know what the church's official position is on fornication and adultery these days, and I felt really hypocritical not saying anything to you about it before, but... what *is* the official position these days?
Ron : Well... it's a sin.
Sammy : Good, I think it should be!
Ron : But we try not to focus on that aspect right off the bat.
Sammy : Why not? I think you should.
Ron : Well...
Sammy : Maybe it was better when they screamed at you from the box for having sex with your married boss, they told you what a terrible thing it was, they were really mean to you. Maybe it would be better if you just told me that I'm endangering my immortal soul and that if I don't stop, I'm gonna burn in hell. Don't you ever think that?
Ron : No, not really.
-
Sammy : What is happening here?
Terry : It's just the problem is the pipes are corroded the whole length of the hall, so every time I put a new piece in it starts leaking further down.
Sammy : Why don't I just call the plumber?
Terry : Why? He's not gonna do anything different than what I'm doing.
Rudy : Yeah, we're only making it worse.
Terry : No we're not, shut up!
[Terry pulls a pipe out of the floor and accidentally sprays Sammy with water]
Sammy : Thanks. Thank you.
