Richard: Cooked outdoors over an open fire. I wish I had one now.
Ellen: Do you remember when Daddy and I used to take you and Susan and Robbie to Jones Beach?

Ellen: We'd wait until dark and make a fire, and we'd cook the hot dogs. Oh, don't forget the mustard. And, oh, does anybody want ketchup?
Richard: [He takes a jar of mustard and a jar of ketchup from Ellen.] I might as well take it along. And now to make sure we've got the hamburger patties. [He opens the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.] I have to remember to put them in the bag tomorrow morning before we leave.

Ellen: I love doing it. Susan and Harry have a sitter for Michelle in the city, and I'm taking care of Max. It's no big deal. I am happy to do it for you.
Richard: I guess Max is asleep by now. He's not crying anymore.
Ellen: oh, poor baby. He's teething.
