From home...
Gloria: Even Knut will agree with me! Knut, does Thor get all the rest of the chocolate?
Knut: No.
Gloria: Who does?
Knut: Everyone.
(Sylvia stares at him in dumbfounded shock)
Knut: Haven't you ever heard of deception?
Rosemary: Oh, no; what do I do? I've gotta look like a blind monkey at the beach!
Playing Risk...
Papa: Hey, hey hey! Why don't you go through there? Look! You could take over all that!
Knut: How much is it worth?
Papa: a lot!
Knut:It's worth five. That's worth...four.
Papa: See?
Knut: But you have it!
Knut: Flouch!
Grandma: So, Knut, what are you going to make?
Knut: Beret pie.
Grandma: Ah, something new and different!
Knut: So? It could be beret pie with extra chocolate! Something new and different! 0=)
Knut: We should start a new family tradition! Sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" at every birthday.
Sylvia: *shivering* Cecily, will you PLEASE stop taking all the warm air out of the room??
Cecily: I can't.
Sylvia *grabs new space heater and plugs it in* ...I love my father. =)
(After a minute...)
Sylvia: Oh! ...It would probably help if I turned it on...
Papa: I didn't match my choir; I didn't match my family...but I matched myself and I looked snazzy.
Papa (reading aloud the Christmas letter draft): Leif always manages to do everything so much cuter than everyone else...From Florida...
Knut: Except for falling into the pond.
Cecily: No, you should have seen his face when he was looking up out of the water; he was adorable! I almost couldn't pick him up; I was laughing so hard!
Knut: So he almost died because he was so cute.
Camryn: (mimicking Leif) "What do you want to do?" "Guys. I want to do guys."
Camryn: As I'm stabbing a monkey's face...
Camryn: Hey Sloan! Do you ever speak to your socks?
Camryn: But...I am crocheting something!During a championship pinochle tournament in which $5 bills were the grand prizes for A) getting the most points total over 15 hands, B) getting the most double pinochles, and C) successfully shooting the moon the most times:
Sylvia: Yeah; whether it's a coaster or a volcano is indeterminate, but...
Camryn: But I feel accomplished, so I'm happy!
Ethan: C'mon, Knut; it's only a game. ...And five bucks. DON'T MESS THIS UP!!!
Knut: So Ethan, our entire goal here is to win five bucks.
Ethan: Knut, please don't mess this up; I really like money.
Ethan: Well, why didn't you pass me that?? If I'd needed the ten, I'd be SO mad at you!
Knut: Well, I passed you the queen and the jack of diamonds so we'd have a chance of double pinochle. And get five bucks.
Ethan: Sweet! I'll take five bucks over a rope!
Knut: I concur.
Sylvia: With what?
Knut: Whatever he wasn't saying.
Sylvia: How'd I get to this crazy table anyhow??
Knut: You lost.
Sylvia: ...You shush.
Knut: You say anything and we will punch your face in with a toaster!
Knut: I make a motion we shoot the moon!
Papa: I make a motion you shoot each other!
Ethan: Good; then it can ricochet off my brain and hit the moon.
Ethan: Did you lose?
Camryn: No!!! ...We just didn't win.
Ethan: Nothin' passes by me! Especially five bucks!
Papa: Shooting the moon takes a little more aim than shooting your foot.(Yeah; Ethan's mercenary.)
Ethan: Well, I'm pretty good at shooting my foot, so...
