Francis: What's all this?
Otto: Did you see the paper! It is wonderful!
Francis: He actually gave us a good review?
Otto: There is no review. They bumped it for a much more interesting story.
Francis: "Crazed local attacks reviewer"?
Piama: But what's with all the flowers?
Otto: They are thank-yous from restaurants and hotels and art galleries. Charles Cutler is the most hated man in the state. And look at these room reservations. Other hotels have sent us their overflow. We are booked solid through May.
Francis: I can't believe this guy. He actually reviewed the hospital.
Otto: Oh, yeah, it sounds terrible. I'm never going there.

Francis: No wonder you were $3,000 under blue book.
Otto: Cadillac?
Francis: Yeah.
Otto: 1974?
Francis: If you say so.
Otto: She is a beauty! I love your American cars. BMW could learn a thing or two but no, everything has to be about perfect engineering.
Gretchen: Otto, what are you doing? Who is this handsome boy?
Francis: Hi, I'm Francis.
Otto: I am talking cars with my new American friend. And yes, he is very handsome.

Otto: We need a ranch foreman.
Francis: Wait. I don't know the first thing about ranching.
Otto: Ah, you will learn. I can tell you are clever.
Francis: Really, I've never-
Otto: Look me in the eye. Yeah, I can tell. It is the job for you. Pays $200 a week plus free room and board. Done.
Francis: I have one question.
Gretchen: Yeah?
Francis: This isn't going to end up with me cut up into little pieces and buried in a secret basement, is it?
Otto: Nope.
Francis: You got a deal.

Otto: And here is where we put the houses for the horses. And here will be your office. You have pens in one drawer and paper in the other. First, I put them in the same drawer together, but no, that did not work. But if you want to try it that way, you're the boss, huh? [chuckles]

Francis: Otto, can I talk to you?
Otto: Yeah. How is your lovely wife? You know, you should start having babies right away. And you must breast-feed.
Francis: What happened to Bill and Andy? Neither one of them showed up for their shifts today.
Otto: Bill and Andy are on vacation. I thought I told you.
Francis: Well, who's supposed to be covering for them?
Otto: Let us have a look. [checks calendar] Ah, here. You see? Alex and Dan are filling in.
Francis: No. You let them go fishing until next Wednesday. Otto, I think it's wonderful that you're so accommodating, but sometimes you just have to say no. I mean, you're running a business.
Otto: Wait a second. Is that the same dog from July?

Francis: The way you run this place, sometimes it's not being nice. It's- It's being careless and foolish.
Otto: Look. [chuckles]
Francis: Yes, it's a truck. Look, Otto, I don't want to leave you high and-
Otto: It is your truck.
Francis: What?
Otto: I saw it I thought of you. Your car blew up, yeah? I thought this would be a good thing for you.
Francis: You see, this is what I'm talking about. You are the best boss ever!
Otto: I wish I could tell you to take a few days and drive it someplace nice, but we're a little shorthanded.
Francis: I understand, believe me.
Otto: [laughs] Just kidding! Go. Take a week. Have fun.

Francis: What? What happened?
Woman: It's horrible.
Francis: What, the rug?
Woman: That's no rug. It's an antelope.
Francis: Oh, my God! It's been completely flattened.
Man: Look. There's pieces in the tree.
Francis: What could have done something like this?
Otto: It- It was me.
Francis: You?
Otto: Yeah. On- On my moped. A- A terrible accident. It was dark. It jumped right in front of me. I had perhaps a few too many Cajun martinis. That should be a lesson to all of us, hey? [chuckles] Go get a shovel and some sawdust.

Otto: Four times we have to put up this fence! Do they think we are not serious?
Francis: Maybe you should talk to them.
Otto: Talk to those idiots? No! Do they think creating wholesome entertainment for families is for sissies? There's arts and crafts, there's nature hikes, there's costume parties. Let them try to keep track of what is what on Opposites Day. Ooh, they will pay for this.
Gretchen: Woo-hoo! Lunchtime.
Otto: Oh, Gretchen, I did not mean for you to see me in my fury.
Gretchen: Otto, I love your fury. Isn't Otto's fury magnificent, Francis?
Francis: I try not to look at his... fury.
Otto: If they tear this one down, we will make them suffer as they have never suffered.
Francis: Or, we might consider trying to reach a compromise.
Otto: Do I look French to you? No! If it is a range war they want, then by gosh, they will get one. They do not know what they are up against.

Hal: Wow!
Otto: Welcome to the Grotto. I'll be with you in one minute.
Hal: No rush. We're just looking for Francis.
Otto: Francis? You are Francis' family?
Hal: Yes, we were just-
[As Otto rings a bell, seemingly every member of staff rushes out into the foyer]
Otto: Welcome, family of Francis. I am Otto, and this is Gretchen.
Gretchen: We have dreamed for months of meeting you and now finally you are here. And look at beautiful liebling!

Hal: I can see why you love it out here, Otto.
Otto: Yeah, yeah, this is where I come to think, to unwind, or when I am in the doghouse with Gretchen. [chuckles] Ooh, I can be a naughty boy.
Hal: I have a barstool in the garage for the same thing.
Otto: Oh.
Hal: Well, I suppose we should be heading back.
Otto: Yeah, yeah, we could do that or we could get to know each other a little better.
Hal: Is that schnapps?
Otto: In my experience, many interesting things can be discovered with just the proper dosage.
