00:05:37 You don't consider sewage backing up in the house a priority?
00:07:20 I know it.
00:09:20 - That's cool. - Lots more where that came from.
00:10:45 Zach's away and I'm going to Mount Pleasant on business today.
00:12:18 Too bad. Have you ever been, Paul?
00:13:58 - Uh... what just happened? - The stakes were raised.

00:38:37 All right, you caught me. I lied.
00:40:10 OK. I'll... I'll tell everyone that I was wrong.
00:42:29 is always around the corner.
