Sam Petrie:
[explaining the brooch's curse] Well, you see that empty setting there in Pittsburgh? That was Uncle Jonah.

Laura Petrie:
Was?

Sam Petrie:
Yeah. The stone dropped out, Uncle Jonah dropped dead. Pow.

Rob Petrie:
Well, Uncle Jonah was an old man. He was, what, eighty-seven.

Sam Petrie:
But he DIED, and that's the important thing.

Clara Petrie:
But, Sam, it was six months later.

Sam Petrie:
There's nothing more horrible than a slow, LINGERING death.

Clara Petrie:
Sam Petrie, one more word out of you and I'm leaving.

Sam Petrie:
Threaten me again, Clara, I'll knock my OWN stone out.
