    Helen: Except, I don't think he's going to win.
    Martha: Well, he might if we called a number of times and voted for him.
    Mariella: We can't do that, Martha. It would be dishonest. We're only allowed to vote once. (beat) Commercial's on! Popcorn time!
    (Mariella gets up to find popcorn)
    Danny: (reads newspaper) Oh no, it says here that Granny's alphabet soup is really taking a licking. No, it's an expression. Taking a licking means something isn't going well. It says here that Grandma Flo is really losing money.

### Helen's All Thumbs / Martha's Dirty Habit [1.30]

    Television advertisement: Do you have an irresistible craving that nothing will stop? (explains the definition of "craving", Daniel peeks over) Maybe you crave the deep, rich ... perhaps you have a weakness, unstoppable urge for the thick chunky chocolate... (Daniel sweats and walks away)
    Martha: What about you?
    Danny: Hey, I was just thinking (touches the cookie jar) it's pretty silly to stop digging all at once. What if you just went outside and dug a little?
    Martha: Yeah, I know what you mean. :(Daniel stops touching the jar of cookies)
    Television advertisment: Crunchy graham crackers, chocolate nougat, all in one irresistible bar! The crave bar! It's what you crave! Come on! Give in to the urge!

### Martha the Witness / Martha Takes a Stand [1.32]

    Martha: This is a matter of principle!
    Danny: Principle? A principle is something you believe in very, very strongly, like being a good neighbor. But there is one principle I believe in above all others. A man has the right to not be bossed around by any of his pets!

    Mariella: Good principle.
