Larry Hertzel: All I was doing was welcoming somebody into the family.
Roberta Hertzel: Larry, we've been welcomed by you, thank you so much, now would you please just drink your fucking milk and shut the fuck up.

Jeannie Schmidt: All of a sudden you're taking an interest in what I do? You have an opinion about my life now? Okay, you listen to me.
