00:00:03 MARY ALICE: Eli Scruggs was the handiest of all handymen.
00:01:29 You never leave a mess.
00:03:33 I don't want to hear you say, "All I've got is 50s."
00:04:51 You've brought me to a place where people are named Eli Scruggs.
00:06:26 Seriously, I don't know how you girls do it.
00:07:49 The ladies can't stop talking about you.
00:09:20 I miss the city,
00:11:04 Just telling you, I've got a pair of something.
00:12:31 Oh, yeah. I ruined the brunch.
00:13:46 If you really want a new stove, I'll get you a stove.
00:16:35 If we're not going to leave the hotel room,
00:18:02 while I was in there I re-grouted your tub.
00:19:37 What's the occasion? I am no longer married to a gay guy!
00:21:41 PENNY: Mom?
00:23:30 I am doing this, Tom. I am going after this job.
00:25:10 I'm sorry, is there any way
00:27:00 Yeah, I do. Yeah.
00:29:38 Well, if it's any consolation, redheads are nuts.
00:31:38 Let me go see what I've got out in the truck.
00:33:58 What? Yep. Today's my last day.
00:35:41 Hope I'm not interrupting your day.
00:37:33 Your front door was wide open.
00:38:58 Mrs. Young, are you all right?
