"Ya know? When somethin' ya said sounds like somethin' else ya said, only it ain't exactly what ya said when ya thought ya said it."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Danger. If ya say so. I ain't gonna- Sorry. I isn't gonna say it again."

"Ya got that right," said Betty. "Amen and pass me the mustard on that one."
