Steve Finch

Buddy Hall

 * I want my house to be seen from space!

Tia Hall

 * This is the most clothes they have worn in years!


 * [about her daughters] I pray every day for the strength to not run them over with the truck.

Dialogue

 * Ted: Buddy! Hey, you ready to sell some cars?
 * Buddy: Me? I'm a born cars salesman. But, I was thinking today, maybe I would just ease into it and get a feeling for the place.


 * Mrs. Ryor: [receiving an eye exam from Dr. Finch] I don't need glasses!
 * Steve: You need binoculars, but we're settling for glasses.


 * Bob Murray: Alright, listen up you guys, we just got in a new shipment of Aspens, and I want you to sell three for me by lunchtime.
 * Ted: What are you kidding?


 * Tia: I used to do a bit of modeling, mainly for college classes... that's how I met Buddy.
 * Kelly: Oh, was he a professor?
 * Tia: No, he was the one they caught peeping in the windows.


 * Reporter: Now the folks at MyEarth have been monitoring the situation. Guys, thanks so much for spending your Holiday plans with us.
 * Amit Sayid: Oh no, it's no trouble at all. Actually, it's funny, Basil's mom just stopped by with a basket of biscuits so we're all just having a laugh.


 * Kelly: What is your favorite Christmas memory?
 * Steve: You know what it is.
 * Kelly: Tell me.
 * Steve: I was 7, my dad and I moved to Alabama... and Christmas morning, we ate on the floor, ate French fries and drank chocolate milk.
 * Kelly: That's what Christmas memories are made from, they're not planned, they're not scheduled, nobody puts them in their Blackberry, they just happen.
