• Dee Dee Thorne : [chanting]  Chaos cannot enter the place wherein the Serenity Candle burns...

  Big Dee Dee Thorne : [storming through the door]  I've left your father!

  Dee Dee Thorne : Well's there 30 bucks down the toilet.

  [blows out candle] 

• Dee Dee Thorne : [speaking to Spencer]  Can you move? I'm afraid the scent of desperation will draw flies.
