Mitchell : Not the whole-wheat kind. The ducks don't like that.

Cameron : They're ducks, Mitchell. They don't care.

(Commentary)

Cameron : We both believe that animals Should play a big part in Lily's life. Having grown up on a farm, I was surrounded by them. They were more like brothers and sisters than just, you know,
livestock.

Mitchell : Delicious brothers and sisters.

Cameron : Life on a farm... they know what they're getting into.

Mitchell : Eesh.

Mitchell : Well, why not, Cam? I've missed everything else. She

Phil : What? What's... what's that sound?

Claire : Mm. Nothing.

Phil : Oh. There she is right now. "meet  Le Reve  7:30?"

Claire : Well, that sounds innocent enough. I mean, drinks with an
ex-girlfriend at an intimate French restaurant.

Phil : Honey, you're doing that thing where you say what I want you to say but your tone seems mean.

Claire : Let me guess... Denise isn't married.

Phil : Recently divorced. What's the big deal?

Claire : Come on, Phil. You can't be that naive. Seriously, a women
in her 30s, has constant contact with you, inviting to you at french restaurant for meal. She's like ninjas. She will get in her little black outfits and try and sneak her way into our marriage.

Phil : That's not Denise.

Claire : Mm.

Phil : Okay, I will tell you some of things we talked over phone and you're gonna feel silly.

Phil : The other day, she called and said hey, Phil. How's it going?

Claire ( trying sexy voice) : "hey, Phil. How's it goin'?"

Phil : You can't add the sexy voice. "hi, Phil. How's it going?" That's how she said. And then she Asked me about my neck pain.

Claire : What she said ?

Phil: So glad to hear that your neck is better.

Claire : "so glad to hear your neck is better" (imitating in funny tone)

Phil : Are you seriously jealous?

Claire : No! I am not jealous at all. I just happen to know women
better than you do, and I think she is passing moves on you.

Phil : Okay, just to prove how wrong you are, I'm gonna invite her over here for drinks.

Claire : Fine with me. Just hope it's fine with Denise. "gee, Phil. I
really had my heart set on Le Reve."

Phil : That voice doesn't bother me. Kind of like it!
