Popular Dialogues

"David Grieff: Well now, to the property settlement. I've prepared a list here of major items of community property with some suggestions as to how they may be distributed amongst the parties. Richard Harmon: [looking at the list] Seems to be fair. Split right down the middle. The house to Barbara; the mortgage payments to me. The furnishings, colour TV and piano to Barbara; the monthly payments to me. The insurance benefits to Barbara; the premiums to me. The uranium in our uranium mine to Barbara... David Grieff: Uranium mine? Richard Harmon: And the shaft to me!"

"Dede Murphy: So, since when do men grow up? They just grow old. You know what I call this apartment sometimes? Boys' Town."
