Salesman: I'll be right with you. Hi. Can I help you?

Sarah: Single chicken breast, please.

Salesman: For an extra 75 cents, you can get the whole fryer here. Two breasts, two thighs and a wing. Today’s special.

Sarah: Thank you. I don't know when I'd eat all that.

Salesman: It's just an extra 75 cents.

Sarah: It's not the 75 cents. I hate to see food go bad.

Salesman: We got a hundred recipes. You can cook them, freeze them and...

Sarah: Look, listen to me, mister. I'm divorced, okay? I eat alone, usually standing over the sink. I don't want a bunch of chicken hanging around, okay?

Salesman: Okay.

Sarah: Thank you.

Leo: Hey. There she is. Good morning. How are you?

Sarah: Good morning. I called you last night to see if you were up for a movie or bowling or group shampooing.

Leo: I'm sorry. Eric's parents are in town. Mr. And Mrs. Stalin. I'm under house arrest.

Sarah: Weren't they just here?

Leo: Thank you. I don't know why they can't stay at a hotel. Nothing I do makes them happy. And they make Eric so nervous, he's like the Tin Man.

Sarah: You have to hang in there, Leo. You and Eric are my model for a successful relationship.

Leo: I fear for you, child.

Sarah: Anyone have anything exciting happen this weekend to share?

Kid: My Uncle Mike slept over.

Sarah: Uncles and aunts are very important to us, aren't they?

Kid: He's not really my uncle, but my mommy makes me call him that. When he's there, I can't sleep with my mommy because he's in her bed.

Sarah: Anyone else have anything they'd like to share? Yes, Austin.

Austin: My parents are trying it apart for a while.

Sarah: We have a theme, June.

June: Yes, we do.

Austin: And Mom says my dad is incorrigible. That means he likes other women.

Teachers: Good. One, two.

Girl: Let me try.

June: That's a hop.

Sarah: One, two, that's a new step. Very good. Molly, you wanna try the sticks?

June: Yeah, come on, Molly.

Sarah: Very good. Keep it going like that.

Kid: Watch. No, I'm doing it.

June: Oh, Austin!

Austin: Good Lord, it's a gusher.

Sarah: Let me see your teeth.

Bob: Hey, bubba.

Sarah: Look who's here.

Austin: Daddy!

Bob: Are you all right?

Austin: Yep, I'm fine.

Sarah: He had a decent bloody nose for a while, but he's fine now. You didn't have to rush right over.

Bob: A kid bleeds, I show up. It's house rules. You wanna get your stuff together now?

Austin: Yeah.

Bob: Then I need a minute alone with Ms. Nolan.

Austin: Okay. Bye, Ms. Nolan.

Sarah: Bye. No. No. No.

Bob: So, Ms. Nolan...

Sarah: Sarah, please.

Bob: And I'm Bob. Actually, everybody calls me Bobby. I've been trying to change it since third grade.

Sarah: I'm always a pushover for Bobbys ever since my first boyfriend, Bobby Healy, just... You know? I forget, is it "always discuss your personal history with parents" or "never discuss"?

Bob: It's "always discuss." Besides, I find it comforting. So has Austin told you anything about...?

Sarah: About you and...

Bob: Yeah.

Sarah: That you're taking a break from your marriage and you're incorrigible.

Bob: That particular phrasing came from his mother. I wouldn't have put it exactly that way, but...

Sarah: I'm sorry.

Bob: If there's anything you think I need to know, just tell me.

Sarah: Oh I will.

Bob: Sometimes with Austin, you can forget. Because he seems so mature.

Sarah: I know. The other day he was asking me about my retirement plan.

Bob: Well, he cares about you, and he wants you to be financially secure. You know Austin adores you. I can see why.

Sarah: Thank you, Bob.

Bob: I might prefer Bobby after all. I mean, I like the... I like the history.
