Hal: Why don't we sit down? First off, I'm not here to try to sort out the complicated relationship you have with the woman I love. That's not my place. And I know it would be folly to try to put a price on the deep psychological trauma that you've caused Lois through the years. But let me take a stab at it anyway. $3,000 sound okay to you?
Victor: What?
Hal: Well, that would pretty much cover the fridge, the collateral damage, pay off a few credit cards, and finally get the transmission fixed on my car.
Victor: Because of what just happened, you want us to loan you $3,000?
Hal: Please. I know you're uncomfortable lending to family, so let's be clear. With one phone call, I could have your asses thrown in jail for child endangerment. So... this money I'm asking for, it's not a loan. It's blackmail.
Ida: It's like your brother Vasclev all over again.
