Dad, there’s a lot of entertainment on this side of the room. You folks are responsible for it. We’re your kids, chips off the old block. Most of us were born in theaters, greasepaint in our veins. And you say you don’t want us to go on a stage. No. You want us to be lawyers and brokers on Wall Street and your girls to marry rich guys.

I’m letting life hit me until it gets tired. Then I’ll hit back. It’s a classic rope-a-dope.

Geez, Homer. I never seen a guy stand up to that kind of punishment. I mean, you took a three-man pounding and didn’t even fall down.

You’re a short-con operator… and a good one, I think. Don’t talk to me like I’m another square!

Into the woods, it’s time to go, I hate to leave, I have to, though  
Into the woods, it’s time, and so, I must begin my journey  
Into the woods and through the trees to where I am expected, ma’am  
Into the woods to grandmother’s house  
Into the woods to grandmother’s house  
Are you certain of your way?

I dreamed of you. I dreamed you were wandering in the dark, and so was I. We found each other. We found each other in the dark.

I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at 6. I clear up in the morning. I have breakfast for you at 9. I don’t wait on people. I don’t stay after I set out the dinner, not after it begins to get dark. I leave before the dark. We live over in town, miles away. So there won’t be anyone around if you need help. We couldn’t hear you. In the night. No one could. No one lives any nearer than town. No one will come any nearer than that. In the night. In the dark.

Did you ever stop to think that - if anything happened to me, I mean anything bad, there wouldn’t be any money for you? I wouldn’t be here to sign the checks. You wouldn’t even have pocket money. Did you ever think of that?
