- Marcy: You'll never guess where we went, Al. To Madame Rachel, the Baby Psychic. She was amazing. For starters, she knew that I felt bloated, had morning sickness and that my nipples hurt.
- Al: [cringing] I didn't think that was possible with "innies".
- Peg: Al, don't you want to hear what the psychic had to say about our baby?
- Al: [sarcastically] Oh please, Peg, can't we hear more about Marcy's nipples?
- Marcy: Well, gee, Al, if we're so boring, then maybe we should talk about something that interests you? [mimes holding a microphone] For starters, let's talk about what goes through your mind at that exciting moment when you sell a shoe.
- [Marcy holds the fake microphone up to Al's mouth, causing him to chuckle]
- Al: Well, hehe, I always think, "How can someone buy something so cheap and ugly and stupid?" But then I think, "Hells bells! Someone knocked up my next door neighbor, so anything's possible!"
- [At the Paternity Ward bar, Al and Jefferson are sitting at the bar just as an attractive female vendor comes up to them to offer some of her merchandise including fake IDs and hair dye]
- Girl Vendor: Monocles! Family trees! Gum... [stops by Jefferson and Al and smiles at them] Gentlemen, would you like to be somebody?
- Jefferson: [smiling while staring down at her chest] Your shirt! [the vendor giggles before looking over to Al]
- Al: Uh, how much for an ex-football player with a cool name?
