- Gary Brooks: Hey Louise. How was your day?
- Louise Brooks: Terrible. Remember when I wrote that letter to the E.P.A. about toxic insulation in our school?
- Gary Brooks: [shakes his head "No"] Yeah, honey, you right a lot of letters.
- Louise Brooks: Well, it's gonna cost the school $50,000 to fix it, so they're cancelling the Art program!
- Gary Brooks: How was your day, Tommy?
- Tom Brooks: Great! I just found out I don't have to take Art, so...
- [Gary and Tom high-five]
- Gary Brooks: Argh! Oh my gosh, the divorce agreement: the piece of paper that stipulates that you always get the upper-hand, and I get the finger!
- Gary Brooks: You know, I wish you would stop bringing up that stupid divorce agreement, because I signed it under duress.
- Allison Brooks: Oh, how were you under duress?
- Gary Brooks: They said if I didn't sign it, I'd have to stay married to you!
- Allison Brooks: Gary, I love this table. What, you think I'm just trying to hold on to it just to be vindictive?
- Gary Brooks: It would fit a pattern, yeah.
