Pati Jinich: the morning after.........a hangover, not sex. use hot sauce.
Ear Horn: for a cough?...

Ben Stiller: it's better than slimy ham with mustard, you uppity nonce. some of us are between heaven and hell.

Boc: a roll of gray duct tape smack in the middle of a parking lane ruining that spot forever. the Safeway parking lot is a minefield, doesn't anybody else notice this?!!!! a yellow Post-It Note stuck to the side of the corner sidewalk gutter is either a last grocery list or a final love confession...

Chuck E. Cheese: yeah i'm in your attic. making tiny ball poops. where do you think all that pizza goes?

Dove in the beauty tent: we're for REAL BEAUTY, not AI BEAUTY.
AI: okay but these real beauties of yours aren't exactly haggard...
Madame Pons: i do like what you've done with the place. with the tent. a neon waterfall inside the tent, impressive. but LUSH still has The Midnight as our house band. Dove ivory is so SMOOTH but i know where it comes from, i read Babar to my kid every night, remember, Mardith?

Harpo: you were a saucy red in bed.
Lucille Ball: it's still weird when you talk. but your balloon face was always so angelic. i placed my leg in William Frawley's armpit and he SLAPPED IT THE FUCK DOWN so hard he broke my heel. 

Groucho: i'm sweet on you, Margaret Dumont.
Margaret Dumont sipping green tea: wanna get married?
Groucho: only if you promise you won't gaslight me when i get older by repeating that i was Ebenezer Scrooge in that episode of Welcome Back, Kotter...

Rex Reed: he started eating pickles because of you and lost a lot of weight.
Groucho: this movie influenced Boy Scout fashion. are the Boy Scouts still a thing in 2024?

me and Jen by the fire.
me: happy weekend, my babies. okay my love, what should i have TOMORROW? Taco Bell or McDonald's?
Jen R: have you ever had 6 tacos from Taco Bell all to yourself with Taco Bell hot sauce? eaten in one sitting.
me: yes but never delivered.
