JS: Honey?

GK: When two people have been together for a long time, they may still be vague about details. Familiarity doesn't mean you actually know each other. So if you're the mother of children, you shouldn't assume that anybody is going to remember that Sunday, May 13, is Mother's Day.
TR: May 13th??? But that's the Fishing Opener in Minnesota.
GK: It's Mother's Day, sir.
TR: But I'm supposed to go fishing with my pals.
GK: Guess you're going to have one more pal joining you. (STING)
TR: Honey?
JS: Yes?
TR: Happy Mother's Day. Here-----
JS: What is this? ----Ouch.----- It's got sharp hooks on it.
TR: It's a spinner.
JS: What do I want with this?
TR: We're going fishing.
JS: Who is "we"? (STING)
GK: Studies show that what most mothers would most like for Mother's Day is not candy, is not flowers, is not a cheap card bought at a gas station on your way to Mother's house for the dinner that she has cooked herself on her day ----- no, what most mothers would like is to be alone, horizontal, with a nice cup of coffee, reading a book.
