Fran: Okay, what is..the color of a banana?
Mabel: Yellow?
Fran: Yes, correct.......Ahh, no! I was not supposed to say "color" or "banana."

--------------------------------------------

Mabel: Okay, why do I have a newspaper in my bag?
Itziar (who is 6); Oh, because, this morning...your father sees soduku on the newspaper, and says to you, that you have to take it with you and do it.
Mabel: Ah, okay, and why?
Itziar: Because he says to you, you must be better at the math.

--------------------------------------------

Fran Javi: You know when a cat falls, it always lands on its feet? And when a piece of toast falls, it always lands on the buttered side? So the question is, if you have a piece of buttered toast stuck to a cat and they're both falling, which is on the bottom? It's a question I've never been able to answer.

--------------------------------------------

Mabel: Mmm American coffee...
Fran Javi: And Spanish milk.

--------------------------------------------

Mabel: Is there a short version for "Almudena?"
Almudena: Gwell, yes, it's "Almu," mbot I never liked it...gwas because of my brother, when we gwere yonger, he used to call me, "Almu, Almu, muuuuu, muuuuuuu" and he say to me it sound like a...como se llama vaca?

Then a very very big man came and sat down across me, I can account for it that he had 3 or 4 burgers on his tray. Then he was eating the burger and all the onions and tomatoes, all flying out of the burger...Gwell, I couldn't eat. Then, I closed my burger, and got up and went away.

The Grocery Trip

Flo and Mabel are shopping at Pathmark. They grab broccoli, spinach, carrots, apples, and mushrooms and put them into the shopping cart. As they are wandering in the cheese section, they notice that the cart, which was originally parked in the aisle, has disappeared and is nowhere to be found. So after a minute of looking, they grab an empty cart that's lying around and begin Take 2 of their vegetable hunt. Flo, (again) carrying a head of broccoli, saunters de-ja-vu style towards the new shopping cart, and Mabel once again grabs a bag of spinach and places it into the basket of the cart. As they refill their cart with the former items, they park the cart on the side of the aisle to look at other items. Suddenly, Flo notices in the middle of the aisle a cart with similar items and asks, "Wait, is that our --" and upon peeking further out the aisle, they both notice yet another cart parked behind it off to the side, shopping cart #2 with the same exact items in their respective places: broccoli, spinach, carrots, apples, and mushrooms. :::Cue laughter for 10 minutes:: "That definitely was not there a minute ago. Dude, this is like the twilight zone."

Genetically-engineered Turkeys

Neil: It was great hearing all about how the aborigines used to live in Barcelona, back when the earth was first created (10 yrs ago). Remember to bring $70 USD or perhaps an apple pie when you come over for your guitar lesson.

-------------------------

Neil: So I made a whole batch of turkey burgers the other night.
Mabel: Turkey burgers? How did you make them?
Neil: Well, I've been engineering this turkey from DNA in the lab and it was growing and - it's too sad to talk about it.
Mabel: Haha.
Neil: No, actually, so I went into this grocery store.
Mabel: Oh, grocery store, hmm.
Neil: Yeah, I dunno if you've heard about those.

-------------------------

Mabel: Okay, so you pre-made these frozen turkeys.
Neil: Yes, I pre-made them before I made them. Then I post-made them by eating them.

Two Men and a Truck

Mabel: Everyone's moving to California. Mom and dad should move, too... Nah, that's too far.
Maggie: Too far for what?
Mabel: Too far from New York.
Maggie: Too far to move your shit.
Mabel: Noo, too far to see me. To have a normal parental relationship with their kid.
Maggie: Parental relationship equals moving shit. Parents are just shit-movers.
Mabel: Haha, yeah.
Maggie: Have you heard of "Two Men and a Truck?"
Mabel: No.
Maggie: They're a moving company out here in Chicago.
Mabel: Like two gay men and a truck?
Maggie: Noo, it's just two strong men and a truck.
Mabel: Two strong gay men and a truck.
Maggie: Well, you'd probably have to pay extra for them to be gay.
Mabel: As per usual...(absentmindedly) So, wait, there's actually two men in the truck?
Maggie: Yes, it's a moving company and they give you two men.
Mabel: Two men to drive and help you move stuff.
Maggie: Yes. Exactly.
Mabel: Why can't it be just "Two People and a Truck?" Why do they have to be men?
Maggie: Well, they ARE two people in a truck, but they both just happen to be men.
Mabel: Why can't they also hire butch women? They can do the job too.
Maggie: I dunno, it's a small company, it's not like a franchise. They don't have like interchangeable roles.
Mabel: Hahaha.
Maggie: Today, Strong Man #1 will be played by...Butch Woman #1. And Strong Man #2 will be played by even Butcher Woman #2.

Maggie's recap:

We ate ice creams and watched Bub and (mostly) Nicole flirt with a couple of Albanian guys working at some take out window. Then we continued walking, around the block, all the way back to the same take out window, and repeated the scene, much to the Albanians' (and our) amusement.

Magnolia bakery, cupcake overdose

Ralphy: I don't want that, I'm gonna take one bite and leave it. It'll be like an orphan on someone's doorstep, critically injured.

M: But what's the point of leaving the cupcake orphaned there after us biting it? No one will eat it then.

Ralphy: It's not for eating, it's for laughing. For us - two - to laugh at.

(Proceed swathing wounded Magnolia cupcake with wax paper as blanket, cupcake paper as baby bonnet, and a cardboard box as crib, leaving it on a fortunate Villager's doorstep.)

My mom gets out of the car as we're driving out of the garage to turn off the garage light that's accidentally been left on. She scurries around trying to find the switch but turns yet another light bulb on from a switch inside the house. My dad is raving in the car and motioning wildly with his hands. Then she scurries around more and turns on another huge camper light that's lying around randomly. So there are three lights on before she manages to figure out what's going on. Finally she scurries around more to turn them all off. It was like watching some weird light bulb riddle happening.
