Hey, now you're using your old noggin! Thanks pal!

[she hugs and kisses him]

My boy!

Mom, mom, I can't breathe!

How are we supposed to have a meaningful family relationship if he's always on the verge of killing you?

Flo

I could lay under you, eat fried chicken and do a crossword puzzle at the same time, that's how much you bother me.
