Quotes 

• Melissa Steadman : So, where's the fire?

  Michael Steadman : Usual place.

  Elliot Weston : Under our butts.

  Melissa Steadman : Oh, what, you mean the pregnant aerobics thing?

  Michael Steadman : Yeah, we're doing the shoot 4:00 Wednesday.

  Gary Shepherd : Pregnant aerobics, isn't that dangerous?

  Elliot Weston : Only when they wrestle.

• Hope Murdoch Steadman : You have it.

  Michael Steadman : What?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : The face.

  Michael Steadman : What face?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : The holiday face. It's like this.

  Michael Steadman : [she pantomimes a hollow, deadpan expression]  That's my face?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : Now, Michael, Christmas is supposed to be a happy time. It'll just be us. It'll be our first Christmas with Janey. It's supposed to be a good time. I mean, "A Christmas Carol" wasn't written by Kafka, Michael, so please, can we forget the face?

• Michael Steadman : Why did we say yes?

  Elliot Weston : Because... because... because we're can-do guys. And because... because it's Christmas. And because if we don't take this stupid pregnant-aerobics campaign, then Nancy, she's gonna have to sell her beautiful blonde hair and I'm gonna have to sell my watch. And, Mike, I don't want to sell my watch.
