I'm sorry, Rose. I guess I'm just sad because Christmas doesn't have any meaning anymore. It's gotten so commercial! –How can you say that? –Oh, please, Rose. The Three Wise Men in the Nativity scene at Berdine's were wearing Ralph Lauren ski parkas.

Gay dwarves

From: Maude

Do you approve of homosexuals? –Arthur, it doesn't matter whether I approve or I disapprove. They are human beings, they exist. It's like asking me if I approve of dwarves. –Well, that's different. There's no such thing as gay dwarves. –Come on, Arthur, you've read Snow White. Seven little men living together like that? Wake up and smell the coffee.
