Lois Quote #233
Lois: [on the phone] Just spend a couple of days with Grandma. You can leave right after Christmas.
Francis: I am not visiting that woman. She's evil and she hates me.
Lois: Francis, this is family. This is Grandma's first Christmas since Grandpa died and you live the closest. How can you be so selfish?
Francis: Well, did you invite her to your house?
Lois: ... She's knows she's always welcome.
Francis: Hey, maybe we'll both get on a bus and come down and surprise you.
Lois: Don't you threaten me! I am ending this discussion! You are going to Whitehorse. You are going to the drug store to buy her a gift. And you are both going to have a proper Christmas!

Quote from Ida
Francis: Well, look at that. 8pm already. Way past bedtime. Where do I sleep?
Ida: You're sittin' on it.
Francis: Does it turn into a bed?
Ida: Yes, it becomes a bed. It's a special magic sofa. It opens up for magic lazy boy. And the angels come and feed you grapes and sing to you while you sleep. And it flies around the room granting wishes for boys what are stupid.
Francis: Alright, it doesn't fold out.
