Muse: The world is round.
Charlene Sinclair: What?
Muse: You know how people think the earth is flat, like a pancake? Well it's not, it's round like an orange.
Charlene Sinclair: The world is an orange... and?
Muse: And? Well that's it. It's one of my best ones, don't you think?
Charlene Sinclair: Yeah but what kind of an orange, is it navel or juicer, what?

Baby: [about a picture he drew] Where're you gonna put it?

Trivia

SPOILER: Charlene and Robbie return from their trip around the world, their mother has cooked their favorite meal. When the son and daughter ask how she knew they would return on that particular day, she replies that she had prepared the same meal every day since they had left. The father mentions that she had made meatloaf for eighty days, so that is how long it took them to circumnavigate the globe, an obvious reference to the famous Jules Verne novel (and later the movie) "Around the World in Eighty Days."
