Quote from Norm in Don't Paint Your Chickens

Cliff: Hey, weren't you supposed to have a painting job today?
Norm: You're right, Cliffie, I did, but I screwed it up. Turns out I was supposed to show up yesterday. So they went ahead and hired somebody else. Like they couldn't open the restaurant a damn day later.
Cliff: Well, you know, you might be the world's greatest house painter... although who would know the difference? But, you know, as a businessman, you really leave a lot to be desired, you know. You haven't had a job in three months.

Quote from Rebecca

Rebecca: Oh, forget about friends. In the cold light of reason, consider this: Please, please, please, for Becky?
Norm: Nah, nah, I'd rather work by myself.
Rebecca: Okay, fine, Norm, fine. I'll just go back to what I was doing. Going over these delinquent bar accounts. Whoa. Now there's a rather huge one in the "P" section.
Norm: [sighs] Welcome to Team Peterson.

Quote from Cliff

Rebecca: Oh. I don't believe this! And I thought they were really impressed with me, and they were just staring at this big, old stupid ink blot.

Sam: Or a butterfly.
Cliff: Uh, it looks like my parents having a screaming argument on my third birthday when I pretended to be asleep but wasn't. Or a butterfly.
