Mer: "What's that?"
Sus: "A human."
Mer: "Oh, well you could've said that! *grumbles* Earthling!"

Dad: "You don't know if this is a Muslim lady all overed up or just a guy in a raincoat."

Dad: "Well I'll never be a little pigeon."

Mom: "There's a Rosetta Stone T-shirt that looks like Sean."
Mer: "I have never seen a T-shirt that looks like Sean."
---
Mom: "I predict by the time we fly out of here you will have loved Paris."
Dad: "No way. You can keep your stinkin' Frenchies. I'm going to walk up to a Fish & Chips place and order Freedom Fries!"
(Hmmm, I wonder where I get my cynicism and randomness?)
---
Sus: "Don't you wish you had an always clean nose like mine?"
---
Edith: "Take this and put it...up your nose."
