Dorothy: I forgot to wish you a merry Christmas.
Stan: Some Christmas.
Dorothy: Oh, come on, Stanley, you're the most fortunate person here.
Stan: Big deal!
Dorothy: Stanley, you've always been able to turn bad holidays around. Do you remember the Christmas we were so broke that you actually convinced the kids that Christmas was the 26th, and then you went out and got a Christmas tree from somebody's garbage? You trimmed it with gum wrappers and pull tabs. And then you turned on the television, and they were playing Jim Thorpe - All American, and you told the kids it was King of Kings.
Stan: And they believed it, too.
Dorothy: Right up to the part where Jesus had his Olympic medals taken away for playing professional baseball.
Stan: That became sort of a tradition with us.
Dorothy: Yeah. You had ingenuity then. You didn't let anything beat you. And you can do it again, Stan, if you just work hard and turn on that Zbornak charm.
Stan: I am pretty good at that.
Dorothy: Oh, you could charm the pants off anybody. I have to believe that. Otherwise, I was easy.
