Brian Brewster: [pointing to Nub who is waving hello from under a heavy stone slab] There. That would be a Nub.

Maybe um... maybe I could ask you some questions for your obituary. Daniel Cooper: I'm not dying! Callie Pender: We're all dying, Reverend. Here I've written an obit for everyone on the island. That way, I'm ahead of the game.
	Unknown Episode: Brian Brewster: Callie, he looks healthy enough to me. Can we concentrate on the footprints, please? Daniel Cooper: [regarding the footprints in cement] Whose are they?

	Unknown Episode: Daniel Cooper: [his first sermon] I am Reverend Cooper, and I am your minister. I have to admit I don't have anything prepared. Mostly because I didn't think that anybody would be here to listen. Here you are! I'm truly in awe of God's power. Daniel Cooper: [steps down the pulpit to get closer to the congregation] Since the moment I got here I have found myself on more than one occasion asking God for help. In fact, I have been so busy needing Him that I couldn't see that there were people who needed me. We all need someone to lean on from time to time. A son needs a father one day, the next the father needs his son. A boy needs a friend. And a reverend needs someone who's a really good swimmer! Daniel Cooper: [in a sincere tone] When we lean on each other, and ultimately, when we lean on God. We find the strength to face whatever comes our way. Now I realize I truly hadn't opened the doors of this church until this moment. But they are open now.
	Unknown Episode: Daniel Cooper: [referring to Dylan acting as his acolyte without Alex's permission] Told him, just this once. Alex Stone: Well, just 'cause I don't go to church anymore doesn't mean that he can't. Daniel Cooper: Thank you. There's always the chance you might find your way back to church. Alex Stone: [walks away] Oh, how you clergy love to believe in miracles.
	Unknown Episode: Boris Obolenski: [responding to Capt. Kangaroo in trivial pursuit] No KGB official would allow himself to be called "Kangaroo". No dignity to be named after a hopping animal.
	Unknown Episode: Boris Obolenski: [playing trivial pursuit] Okay, smart guy. What was the nickname of captain Ilyich Murlowski? The "Maniacal Mongoose"! How many points for that?
	Unknown Episode: Brian Brewster: [three men drooling over a car] The girl of my dreams. A 1958 El Dorado convertible. I've wanted one of these since I was 10 years old. Daniel Cooper: Did your dad have one? Brian Brewster: No. Next door neighbor Elmo Sapp. I dreamed one day that'd be me. Nub Flanders: You dreamed you'd be Elmo Sapp?
	Unknown Episode: Brian Brewster: Just think. Four days from now people will be calling me Mayor Brewster. Can't you just smell the victory in the air, Nub? Nub Flanders: [opening a crate of fish] Yeah. I smell something.
	Unknown Episode: Boris Obolenski: [receiving a gift of free fish] America is truly the land of opportunists.
	Unknown Episode: Boris Obolenski: [coming to Molly's rescue in the kitchen] You leave cooking to Boris. Molly Brewster: [stressed out and exhausted] Wait. What? You're a chef? Boris Obolenski: Chef, artist, plumber, sword swallower. Now to finish salad. I will need garlic, dill and vodka. Molly Brewster: [confused] Okay. Wait! You put vodka in salad? Boris Obolenski: [escorting Molly out of the kitchen] I put vodka in Boris. Moosh! Moosh!
	Unknown Episode: Ruby Vasquez: Can't they fax it to you? Callie Pender: Not with the phone lines down. It's just like the "Olden Days". Nub Flanders: Yup. It's the '80s all over again.
	Unknown Episode: Ruby Vasquez: What do you mean you've got nothing else to do? Nub Flanders: Well, I'm in sort of a leave of absence. Ruby Vasquez: Oh, is that because Brewster's Estate is under water? Nub Flanders: Yeah. It's just temporary. Ruby Vasquez: Yeah. That's what they said about my tattoo.
	Unknown Episode: Ruby Vasquez: [upset that Daniel misplaced the winning lottery ticket] Dare we ask what the good news is? Alex Stone: Well, the good news is that Zabar is going to hypnotize Daniel. Brian Brewster: [angry that Daniel misplaced the lottery ticket] Oh, well! That's going to make me feel better, watching Daniel cluck like a chicken! Alex Stone: You, guys! Look, I was as upset as you are. But Zabar says that as soon as he hypnotizes Daniel, Daniel is going to remember where he put the ticket. [pause] And then he'll cluck like a chicken.
	Unknown Episode: Alex Stone: [whispers nervously] Daniel just, uh, asked me over for dinner. Molly Brewster: [surprised] Dinner? Alex Stone: Mm-hmm. Molly Brewster: [smiling] That's a first. Alex Stone: He said to come over there by 5:30. Molly Brewster: How come so early? Alex Stone: I don't know, but he said, that way we'll have plenty of time. Molly Brewster: To do what? Alex Stone: [blushing] I don't know, but apparently we're going to have plenty of time for it. Molly Brewster: [smiles approvingly] Aha.
