Francine: You called me a pig!
Stan: I didn't say you were a pig, I said that dress made you look like a pig. And those shoes didn't help. All your fat, sweaty toes shoved in there like 20 Hondurans stuffed in a giant...shoe.

Hayley: What's wrong with you? You look horrible.
Klaus: I've had this flu for, like, two weeks. I started to feel better on Tuesday, but then I pushed it and now I have this darker mucus and-
