Darby: Mommy, I'm hungry.

Erika: No, you're not.

Darby: But I am hungry!

Chris: Which do you like more? Carrots or potatoes? Which one's better?

[We regard each other silently.]

Chris: What! We've got here, is. Failure! To ... commun'cate!

Darby: [Roars laughter.] "Commun'cate is not a vegetable!"
