• Hal : First off, I'm not here to try to sort out the complicated relationship you have with the woman I love. It's not my place. And I know it would be folly to try to put a price on the deep psychological trauma that you've caused Lois through the years. But I'm gonna take a stab at it anyway... $3,000 sound okay to you?

  Grandpa Victor : What?

  Hal : Well, that would pretty much cover the fridge, the collateral damage, pay off a few credit cards, and finally get the transmission fixed in my car.

  Grandpa Victor : Because of what just happened, you want us to loan you $3,000?

  Hal : Please. I know you're uncomfortable lending to family, so let's be clear. With one phone call, I could have your asses thrown in jail for child endangerment. So, this money I'm asking for, it's not a loan. It's blackmail.

  Grandma Ida : He's like your brother Vaslefdt all over again.
