You think you can keep that straight, Johnny? What you can and can't lay your hands on.
Just put your pickle on everybody's place, college boy, and leave the hard stuff to me.
Just where do you get off telling me what's right?
You can't just leave her, I mean.
I didn't spend all summer long toasting bagels just to bail out some little chick who probably balled every guy in the place.
A little precision please, Baby... Some people count and some people don't. [brings out a copy of The Fountainhead from his pocket] Read it. I think it's a book you'll enjoy, but make sure you return it. I have notes in the margin.
You make me sick. Stay away from me, stay away from sister or I'll have you fired. [pours the jug of water on Robbie's crotch]
Look at all this leftover food. Are there still starving children in Europe?
Try Southeast Asia, Ma.
Right.
Robbie, Baby wants to send her leftover pot roast to Southeast Asia, so anything you don't finish, you wrap up. Max, our Baby's going to change the world.
Oh, Lisa's gonna decorate it.

Baby's starting Mount Holyoke in the fall.
Oh, great.
