- Andy Botwin: [getting a phone call from Celia's kidnapper] Hello?... Yeah, I know Celia... We're all gonna die. What does that mean anyway? Life is cheap, people die, and people have babies... Everyday they're having babies! What's with that, Kidnapper man? I mean, women in their forty's are having babies. Doesn't that seem weird to you?... What? No, I'm not gonna pay the ransom... Hello?... Rude.
- Nancy Botwin: [a phone call wakes her up] Hello?
- Rudolpho: I have your friend.
- Nancy Botwin: What? Who is this? What friend?
- Rudolpho: Your friend Celia. I have her, and you pay me money, or she dies.
- Nancy Botwin: Celia?
- Rudolpho: Celia Hodes! I have kidnapped her, and today I chop off her ear.
- Nancy Botwin: How Van Gogh.
- Rudolpho: What? You send me $40,000, or I'll do it!
- Nancy Botwin: It's too early for this. We're really not friends.
- Rudolpho: Okay, $30,000...
