  • Charlie: Hehe. [looks down at Mr. Fluffy] How would like to go for a ride in the toilet?!

  • Charlie: [sarcastically] Yeah, it takes a lot of class to give yourself a sponge bath with your own tongue.
  • Vinnie: Three months and two weeks, huh, Pop? Pretty soon, you'll be giving yourself a sponge bath your own tongue!
  • Charlie: Would that I could.

  • Charlie: Look, uh, Kelly, I wanna ask you a question. Suppose your father had an opportunity to sell that stupid dog of yours, Bud.
