• Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Stan, do you remember the Christmas we were so broke, you convinced the kids that Christmas was actually the 26th? You went out and got a Christmas tree from somebody's garbage and you trimmed it with gum wrappers and pull tabs. Then you turned on Jim Thorpe, All American and told them it was King of Kings.

  Stan Zbornak : And they believed it too.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Right up until Jesus got His medals taken away for playing professional baseball.

  Stan Zbornak : Yeah, kind of got to be a tradition for us.

• Blanche : [watching the poor and homeless come in]  I just never thought there'd be children.

  Rose : [nods, sees a Santa come in with them]  What's Santa doing here?

  Blanche : Oh they pay these out of work guys 10 or 15 dollars to stand on a corner and ring their bell, most of them can't afford the price of a meal.

  Stan Zbornak : [Santa goes over to Dorothy]  Hello.

  Dorothy Petrillo-Zbornak : Hello, Santa.

  Stan Zbornak : [pulls off his beard]  Dorothy, it's me, Stan.

• Stan Zbornak : [explaining to Dorothy why he's broke for Christmas]  I figured with the drought and the risk of fires, the big selling novelty item this year would be a little plastic Santa wearing sunglasses and driving a fire engine. I sunk all my money into the idea and ordered 12 gross from my manufacturer in Germany. EVERYTHING is getting out of East Berlin except MY fire engines. They didn't get here until last night.
