Didi Conn: Stacy Jones

Quotes 

• Schemer : Wait, I have a receipt here somewhere.

  Stacy Jones : [in rummaging through his pocket he dropped it to the floor and she picks it up]  Here, Schemer.

  Schemer : [takes it and puts his hand at his side still searching and glances at it after only a second]  Oh, here it is.

• Stacy Jones : [glances at him amused on the phone]  ... Why, sure, I'll tell "Horace" to call you... Yes. Thank you very much, Mrs. Schemer; bye-bye.

  [hangs up] 

  Stacy Jones : "Horace"?... Come on, kids, we've got work to do.

  Schemer : I can't believe it. I can't believe you told her that.

  [in toying with the phone distractedly he slams on his hand and yelps in pain] 

  Schemer : Oh, this is the worst day of my life!

  Stacy Jones : All right now, we're gonna need a bowl... Come on, Matt and Tanya; we've got some shopping to do.

  Schemer : Hey, what am-what am I supposed to do?

  Stacy Jones : Um, stay calm... Horace.

  [she and the kids head off laughing] 

• Schemer : [tasting his spread Stacy and the kids recooked]  I am, a genius.

  Tanya : No you're not; Stacy is!

  Stacy Jones : [chuckles]  Let's just say *Horace's mother* is a genius.

• [last lines] 

  Stacy Jones : When I was a little girl, I wanted to make a lemon-meringue pie. The recipe said "Use 5 egg-whites". Do you know what I did? I put in five eggshells! I thought that was the white part.

  Schemer : Well, how did it turn out?

  Stacy Jones : [laughing]  Schemer, the white of the egg is the clear part, not the eggshells. It was awful.

  Schemer : [the others laugh]  ... Oh!

  [everyone laughs including him]
