- Carl Otis Winslow: Tell me Harriet, before I left for work this morning, did I or did I not tell Edward to empty the trash can?
- Harriette Winslow: Yes you did.
- Carl Otis Winslow: Well guess what Harriet, it's not empty. It is not empty at all. In fact, do you know what it is Harriet?
- Harriette Winslow: Full?
- Carl Otis Winslow: It's full, Harriet! Heapingly, overflowingly, full!
- Harriette Winslow: So what you're saying is... it's full.
- Carl Otis Winslow: Don't get cute with me Harriet. I want to know why my instructions were not followed.
- Harriette Winslow: Well, Eddie said something came up, but he promised he'd empty the trash tomorrow.
- Carl Otis Winslow: Tomorrow. It's always tomorrow with that boy! Take out the trash Edward, "Tomorrow Dad!" Clean up your room Edward. "Tomorrow Dad!" Pass the salt, Edward. "Tomorrow Dad!"
