Christine McGlade:
You know something, Lisa, I've noticed that every single joke you tell has something to do with food. I mean, from which side of the family did you get this obsession with food?

Lisa Ruddy:
Well...

Christine McGlade:
Actually, though, MY theory is that you must have gotten your obsession with food from BOTH sides of the family, because it would take two sides of a family to make hips as wide as yours.

Lisa Ruddy:
Oh, yeah? Well, Christine, I was wondering which side of your family has a St. Bernard dog in it, 'cause that's where you got YOUR looks from.

Christine McGlade:
Don't start harping on my looks, Ruddy.

Alasdair Gillis:
Can you guys please break it up?

Lisa Ruddy:
Oh, shut up, Alasdair.

Christine McGlade:
Actually, Alasdair, we were wondering which side of your family has the speckled trout in it.

Lisa Ruddy:
Yeah, like, where did you get all your freckles from?

Alasdair Gillis:
Speckled trout, huh?

Christine McGlade:
Mm-hm.

Adam Kalbfleisch:

Alasdair Gillis:

Adam Kalbfleisch:

Alasdair Gillis:
I mean, I've heard of family trees before but not trees in the family.

Adam Kalbfleisch:
Your joke's funny, bought-face.

Stephanie Chow:
Can you boys break it up? You fight like sisters and brothers.

Christine McGlade, Lisa Ruddy, Alasdair Gillis, Adam Kalbfleisch:
SHUT UP, STEPHANIE!
