Dialogue

edit
Ted: Buddy! Hey, you ready to sell some cars?
Buddy: Me? I'm a born cars salesman. But, I was thinking today, maybe I would just ease into it and get a feeling for the place.
Mrs. Ryor: [receiving an eye exam from Dr. Finch] I don't need glasses!
Steve: You need binoculars, but we're settling for glasses.
Bob Murray: Alright, listen up you guys, we just got in a new shipment of Aspens, and I want you to sell three for me by lunchtime.
Ted: What are you kidding?
Tia: I used to do a bit of modeling, mainly for college classes... that's how I met Buddy.
Kelly: Oh, was he a professor?
Tia: No, he was the one they caught peeping in the windows.
Reporter: Now the folks at MyEarth have been monitoring the situation. Guys, thanks so much for spending your Holiday plans with us.
Amit Sayid: Oh no, it's no trouble at all. Actually, it's funny, Basil's mom just stopped by with a basket of biscuits so we're all just having a laugh.
Kelly: What is your favorite Christmas memory?
Steve: You know what it is.
Kelly: Tell me.
Steve: I was 7, my dad and I moved to Alabama... and Christmas morning, we ate on the floor, ate French fries and drank chocolate milk.
Kelly: That's what Christmas memories are made from, they're not planned, they're not scheduled, nobody puts them in their Blackberry, they just happen.
