  Mary Jenkins : That never stopped you before.

• Sandra Clark : I went out and bought some presents. I went to the corner drugstore and got some thermometers and some cough drops and a hot water bottle and a mustard plaster.

  Mary Jenkins : Great, now all you need is the flu.

• Brenda Jenkins : We couldn't believe it when you called from jail, where did we go wrong?

  Mary Jenkins : We thought if we could convince Alexandria that the thief had a change of heart, that she'd believe in Christmas.
