Joanie: Joan, your roommate told me your friend Zeke is coming to visit. JJ: He's not my friend, mother, he's my fiance. Zeke says either you're committed or you're not, and I agree with him. We think living together is just an easy way out. Rick: You going to field that one. Joanie: I'm think, I'm thinking! JJ: Of course, everyone's free to do what she wants.

Mugger with gun: “Your money or your life.”Silence.Mugger repeats: “I said, your money or your life.”Benny: “I’m thinking! I’m thinking!”
