Lois: I cannot believe they called me in to work. I requested Halloween off eight months ago, and suddenly, Marybeth becomes a Wiccan, so she can take it as a religious holiday.
Hal: There will be more Halloweens barring some tragic event.
Lois: But this is the good one, you know? There's such a tiny window where the kids are still sweet and adorable, and you can dress them up however you want. Every year after that, Halloween's just another trip to the police station.
Hal: Life is unfair, Lois. And, sometimes, it's cut horrifically short with no warning whatsoever.
