"Knew this was a mistake."

"Sorry, Gene.  Didn't know this'd happen."

"No?  Blind Freddie could've predicted it.  So what're we gonna do about it?"

"I'll fix it in the morning."

"You?  Don't make me laugh."

"Worked in an hardware store."

"Like I said, don't make me laugh.  We did give it a workout though, didn't we."

"You know, now that I look at it I think it's broken for good."

"Right.  In the morning I'll get you a new bed, Dorothy."

"Two conditions: I buy you dinner, and after that we do our best to break it too."

"You're on!"
