Melvin Udall:
[to Carol Connelly] I'm hungry.

[He sees Carol's astonished look.]

Melvin Udall:
You've ruined my whole day. I haven't eaten.

Carol Connelly:
What are you doing here?

[Melvin ignores this question, instead answering a charge that he had imagined that Carol might have taken.]

Melvin Udall:

Carol Connelly:
Are you totally gone? This is my private home.

Melvin Udall:
I'm trying to keep emotion out of this. Even though it's an important issue to me, and I have very strong feelings on the subject.

Carol Connelly:
What subject? That I wasn't there to take crap from you and bring you eggs? Do you have any control over how creepy you allow yourself to get?

Melvin Udall:
Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. And to prove it, I have not gotten personal, and you have. Why aren't you at work? You sick? You don't look sick. Just tired and bitter.

Carol Connelly:
My son is sick, okay?

[She crosses to the sink to dump the ice. Melvin takes a step inside.]

Melvin Udall:
What about your mother?

Carol Connelly:
How do you know about my mother?

Melvin Udall:
I hear you talking while I wait.

Spencer "Spence" Connelly:
[offscreen] Mom, I finished my juice.

Carol Connelly:
I'm sorry, honey. One sec.

Spencer "Spence" Connelly:

[He walks into the room. Melvin is uncomfortable.]

Melvin Udall:
[to Spencer "Spence" Connelly] How ya doing?

[Spence just stares at Melvin, who becomes miffed.]

Melvin Udall:
You should answer someone when they speak to you.

[Carol eyes Melvin with disgust and disbelief.]

Carol Connelly:
I'm sorry, Melvin! That's it! I cannot handle you teaching my son manners!

[She pushes Melvin out the door and closes it in Melvin's face.]

Melvin Udall:
Ow!
