Roy

Yeah, sure, Thomas can raise a barn, but can he pick up a 7-10 split?

Ishmael

God blessed my brother to be a good carpenter. It's okay.

Roy

Yeah, well, he blessed you, too, and I'll give you a clue what it is. It's round, it has three holes, and you stick your fingers into it.

Ishmael
[He points his finger into Roy's face]

You leave Rebecca out of this, mister!

Roy

I'm talking about bowling! Your future!

Ishmael
[On smoking]

You really should try to quit, Mr. Munson. They say it's bad for your heart, your lungs. It quickens the aging process.

Roy

Is that right? Who's done more research on the subject than the good people at the American Tobacco Industry? They say it's harmless. Why would they lie? If you're dead, you can't smoke.

Ishmael

I don't drink coffee.

Roy

Why not?

Ishmael

Because it's a stimulant.

Roy

What the hell do you think cigarettes are?

Ishmael

They are?

Ishmael
[Roy nods]

All right, make it an extra large, two sugars, lots of cream. Lots of cream.
