8. "Well why is the carpet all wet, Todd?" "I don't know, Margo..."

7. "Clark, that's the gift that keeps on givin' the whole year."

6. "Would it be indecent to ask the grandparents to stay in a motel?"

5. "Save the neck for me, Clark."

4. "It's a beaut, Clark, it's a beaut!"   "Dad, Dad, you taught me everything I know about exterior illumination..."

3. "Oh boy...this is a surprise, Clark. This is just a real nice surprise...just a real, nice, surprise."
