Skar :  Everyone grab a wine glass so the boss can give a toast. Pons : Which one is the wine glass?   Ned : I got one wit water and one with some kool-aid what has turned.  MauMau: That bad one is wine, Ned, It is a test of nerve to endure its repulsive taste.   Betty :  LorDee is giving a toast! AA : I feel a poem coming on.   LorDee: To all of us -- as we plot this historic drive to the White House. Skar :  What did you say? Pons : She mentioned a plot about driving a truck full of explosives to the White House.   Ned : Seems a bit early ta be shootin' off deplosives afore winnin' the predjudicy. MauMau:  Oh, is this wine? I thought it came in a box. Betty :  Only the top shelf brands, MauMau.  AA :  My poem will be about being a wino in East Los Angeles.   LorDee:  May we lead our country to a new era in collabrative thinking and doing. Skar : So, is this salad dressing the house brand or ranch?   Pons : What did LorDee say about a collapsible drinking station?   Ned :  What in the heck is a collectible whatever? MauMau: So she collects wine?    Betty :  My step-father collected wine -- in his stomach. AA :  Was this wine? I thought it was grape juice.    LorDee: We will lead from the front. Demanding justice and common sense at all times. Skar :  Uh oh, I think the boss has had one too many.   Pons : I think she is rendering her soul to us.    Ned : That don't sound like somethin' I would wanna see. MauMau: So, is she going to be sick?   Betty :  My second step-father collected wine as well. He used a gun and wore a mask. AA : It is East L.A. in the morning. The misty dawn rises from the west today. Fish!   LorDee: Our boarders will be controled and the prisons thrown open.  Skar :  Prisons opened? Pons : I think she means metaphorically.   Ned :  Or she means she met a four-man car cleanin' crew. MauMau:  What did she say about cleaning cars? Betty :  I can think of better fund raisers. AA : The fish are free on Friday at the levee headless fish farm.   LorDee:  Thank you all for being on the team.   Skar :  You are welcome, LorDee. Pons : Of course.    Ned : Acourse. MauMau:  What did she say about cleaning cars? Betty : I feel I'm talking too much.  AA :  I may need to sit closer to the boss.   LorDee: Salute! Skar :  Salute! Pons : Salute!   Ned : Is that what they call this purple stuff? MauMau:  Did we ever order? Betty :  My third step-father was a politician.
