Lois: This place is so much smaller than the apartment.
Hal: So you keep reminding me. What choice do we have, Lois? Yes, it is smaller. And cheaper. That apartment was no place to raise children.

Young Francis: Ow!
Hal: Oh, okay, okay, boys, enough playing. It's time for Reese's lessons. What'll it be today, son, huh? Russian literature? Or should we brush up on the circulatory system, hmm? [young Reese looks at Hal] Circulatory system it is.
Lois: Yeah, great. Just ignore the eight months pregnant woman carrying the boxes.
