CHRlSTY: I’m just saying you can take the damn plastic off the couch once in a while.

MRS. WOLOWlTZ: Why, so you and Howard can hump on it?

HOWARD: Ladies, ladies, I’m sure there’s a middle ground.

CHRlSTY: Shut up, Howard!

MRS. WOLOWlTZ: Shut up, Howard!

HOWARD: You guys talk. I’ll take my scooter out for a little spin.

CHRlSTY: Are you happy? You drove your son out of the house.

MRS. WOLOWlTZ: Why don’t you stop butting in where you don’t belong?

HOWARD: What are you guys doing here? -It’s "Halo" night.

MRS. WOLOWlTZ: He’s not a man, he’s a putz. And don’t you take that tone with me, you gold digger.

CHRlSTY: What did you call me?

MRS. WOLOWlTZ: You heard me. And I’ll tell you, you’re barking up the wrong tree. Because as long as you’re around, Howard is out of the will.

CHRlSTY: You know what, I got better offers. I’m out of here.

HOWARD: So "Halo" night, huh?
