Quotes 

• Moria : [after a heated argument over a hypothetical situation involving an electric can opener] 

  [nervously] 

  Moria : Right. Well,then you win the round. It's your throw, Margaret.

  Margaret Fish : [Margaret throws the dice at Neil's nose, and then aggressively pounds her game piece on the board]  Oh look, another domestic dilemma

  [picks up a card] 

  Margaret Fish : This is for you, Neil. You and your lovely wife, are guest for dinner at a friends house. You are fed delicious, carefully prepared food, and are invited back, on a number of occasions. Eventually, you feel just a bit guilty, and so you invite these friends, back to your house. Do you, give them a nice dinner, at came to what you have received, or do you give them a glass of wine and a little bowl of DRY ROASTED PEANUTS!

  [Bob takes the card out of Margaret's hand and chuckles] 

  Moria : [Neil and Moria laugh and act nervously]  Wh... What, what do mean. Is this a joke.

  Margaret Fish : LET ME SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE. I"LL TELL YOU, WHAT WOULD YOU DO, YOU WOULD GIVE THE NUTS, AND THE WINE, AND YOU WOULD MAKE THEM PLAY THIS STUPID GAME! Because you are, and lets be honest, because otherwise, what's the point of the game. YOU'RE SELFISH, RUDE, AND INCREDIBLY DULL PEOPLE, WHO I CANNOT STAND BEING WITH FOR ANOTHER SECOND!

  [Margaret storms out the room,and out the house, the room is silent for six seconds] 

  Margaret Fish : [Margaret returns]  WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER DINNER PARTY ON THE TWELFTH. WHY DON'T YOU TWO GO BOWLING

  [Margaret leaves the house again, but slams the door behind her]
