Quote from George

Loretta: George, I've always fantasized about jumping into bed with you.
George: Ho ho!
Loretta: But... I don't want to spoil things by sleeping with you too soon.
George: Are you sure? 'Cause it could really help me out of a jam.
Loretta: I want to build something with you, George.
George: Oh, not more building.
