Phoebe: Oh dear, is she hard of hearing?
Colleen: No, no, no, no, I can hear you. I just wanted to make sure you could hear you.

Me, personally coining the phrase ‘What’s the up side?’ Participating in Hands Across America. And all this time I’ve been on this earth, I have only one regret; I should have worked more.

Jack: Maybe this is the drugs talking, but I think I got Nixon to agree to come on the show and say “Sock it to me”.
