7 quotesFinding Pleasure in Chocolate After Forty
Lila
I read a study and after the age of forty a woman's chances of having sex are diminished by eighty percent. So, after fifty, God help you. And since I probably won't be having sex again, chocolate is the only pleasure left for me.

Scott's Beard Trim Conversation
Laura Miller
Scott!
Scott
Hey.
Laura
Hey! You trimmed your beard.
Scott
Yeah.
Neil Miller
Come here, big guy. Whoa, you lost some weight there, huh? Slim-Fast?
[hugs Scott; chuckles]
Scott
You don't know how fast.
Laura
We should get going.
Scott
Oh, okay.
Laura
Okay? How do you always know when there's a problem?
Scott
Well, I see you when you're sleeping. I know when you're awake.
Neil
Which is a pretty frightening concept, when you think about it.
Laura
You know, Scott, we're really worried about Charlie. He keeps upping the ante. This time, he defaced school property.
Neil
It's a classic case of acting out.
Scott
I'm blaming myself for this.
Laura
Oh, come on, now. We're both his parents.
Scott
Where is he?
Laura
He's waiting for us in Principal Newman's office.
Scott
Principal Newman. There's something about that woman that makes me want to deface public property. He-he-hey!
[chuckling]
Carol
Hello, Mr. Calvin. Laura, Neil.
Laura and Neil
Miss Newman.
Scott
Principal Newman.
Carol
Yeah, I haven't seen you since the last time Charlie was in trouble.
Scott
Well, I've been travelling for work, you know?
Carol
Well, maybe if you spent more time with your son, there would be fewer problems.
Scott
Maybe, but then I wouldn't get to spend more time with you, which is always such a pleasure.
Carol
Oh, a battle of wits. It's a shame that you came unarmed. Excuse me.
Scott
Ouch.
[quietly]
Picardo
Good mornin', Principal Newman.
[stopped by Carol]
Carol
Mr. Picardo, I want you to look into my eyes. What do you see?
[confiscates Picardo's skateboard]
Picardo
It's dark. And it's cold.
Carol
It's your future, Mr. Picardo. Keep this up, and you will spend the rest of your life stabbing trash by the highway. Do I make myself clear?
Picardo
Yes.
Carol
So, what are you gonna do?
Picardo
I'm going straight to 3rd-period geometry.
Carol
Have a nice trip.
[Picardo walks away]

The Nature of Santa Claus Explained
Laura
All Neil told him was that Santa was more of a feeling. More of a state of mind than an actual person.
Scott
Kind of like Neil. And who gave you permission to tell Charlie there is no Santa Claus?

Judy
I'm Jeremy.
Lila
You're a man?

No, no, no, no, no, not really. Not ever. I was born into a man's body but I've always been a woman and well, after the final surgery...
Lila
I think I need a little drink.

Talk Show Hostess
When he's older, will you tell Jack about his father?
Ma
Jack's not his. He's not his.

So are you saying that there were other men?
Ma
No! No. Um... A father is... a man who loves his child.
Talk Show Hostess
Of course. That's so true in a very real sense, but the... the biological relationship that you...
Ma
That's not a relationship.
