- Adele: I'm giving thanks that we don't have to go through this for another year. Except we do, because those bastards went and put Christmas right in the middle, just to punish us.
- Claudia: Nobody means what they say on Thanksgiving, Mom. You know that. That's what the day's supposed to be all about, right? Torture.
- Claudia: Didn't you have a girlfriend, or...
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: Yeah, she went and married my best buddy Ray.
- Claudia: When you go home, do you look around and wonder, "Who are these people, where did I even come from?" I mean, you look at them all, sitting there, you know... they look familiar, but who the hell are they?
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: Well, duty calls. Merry Christmas, if I don't ever see you again. You have a nice life, Claudia.
- [leaves; Claudia walks past Tommy and Leo, nearly in tears]
- Tommy: She'll bounce back. Trust me on this.
- Leo: [to Claudia, when he gets into the car with some difficulty, as he is trying to stuff a lamp in as well] It's mine; you can't have it. She gave it to me.
- Tommy: She'll bounce back. Trust me on this. No, she feels her feelings. But she'll bounce back. Feelings come up and she actually feels them, which is great.
- Henry Larson: Well, opinions are like assholes, honey. Everybody's got one and everybody thinks everybody else's stinks.
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: I'm just lettin' the guys have the day off, you know, so they can visit their families, since I'm all alone this year.
- Tommy: [to Leo] This is the saddest sack in the universe.
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: Yeah, I don't have anybody anymore, my brother and sister got canned and they left town, and then my parents went and died on me.
- Claudia: I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: Yeah, well, you know - it was a car wreck, last summer, drunk driver, cut right across the, uh what was it, you know... meridian, pow-pow! Head on.
- Claudia: You know, maybe next year will be better for you.
- Russell 'Sad Sack' Terziak: Hey, yeah - or worse.
