Dialogue

Mrs. X: It's Henry isn't it? Mary tells me you're a very nice fellow. What do you do?

Henry: Oh, I'm on vacation.

Mrs. X: What did you do?

Mr. X: I thought I heard a stranger. We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man-made. Little damn things, smaller than my fist - but they're new!...... I'm Bill.

Henry: Hello. I'm Henry.

Mrs. X: Henry's at Lappell's factory.

Mr. X: So, printin's yer business, eh? Plumbin's mine. Thirty years! I've watched this neighborhood change from pastures to the hell-hole it is now! I put every damn pipe in this town!

Mary X: Dad!..

Mrs. X: Bill...

Mr. X: People think pipes grow in their homes! Well they sure as hell don't. Look at my knees! Look at my knees!

Mrs. X: Bill...

Mr. X: Are ya hungry?

Mrs. X: Bill...

Mr. X: Well Henry, what do you know?

Henry: Oh, I don't know much of anything.

Henry: [as the chickens begin moving] So I just, uh... I just cut them up like regular chickens?

Mr. X: Sure, just cut them up like regular chickens [this quote got sampled by Amon Tobin on Permutation (album), for the track "Like Regular Chickens"].

Mrs. X: There's a baby. It's at the hospital.

Mary X: Mom!

Mrs. X: And you're the father.

Henry: Well that's impossible! It's only been...

Mary X: Mother, they're still not sure it is a baby!

Mary X: You wouldn't mind marrying me, would you Henry?

Henry: Well... No.
