- Cathy Dunlan: I can't take much more of this!
- Frankie Dunlan: Much more of what?
- Cathy Dunlan: This! Living like rats! I'm starving! The baby's starving!
- Frankie Dunlan: So? I'm hungry too.
- Cathy Dunlan: Then do something about it!
- Frankie Dunlan: What do you want me to do?
- Cathy Dunlan: Get a job!
- Frankie Dunlan: There are no jobs!
- Cathy Dunlan: Then look for one!
- Frankie Dunlan: I am! It's not just us, it's the whole country! There's a recession on!
- Cathy Dunlan: The whole country manages to eat! You're out on the streets every day like a zombie! You're not looking for a job! You're waiting for the world to end!
- Frankie Dunlan: Hey, good! That should be any day now!
- Cathy Dunlan: Go ahead and make jokes, but it's true! You don't care about us! You're off on another planet somewhere! It's not fair! It's just not fair!
- Cathy Dunlan: What have you been doing all day? Where have you been?
- Frankie Dunlan: In the jungle...
- Welfare Worker: It doesn't look any better, Frankie. There's nothing here for you. Let's see... there are some computer jobs. There's an engineering apprenticeship opening...
- Frankie Dunlan: I'll take it!
- Welfare Worker: You can't. They want experience. You don't have the skill. That's just the problem, you don't have any skills.
- Frankie Dunlan: Isn't there anything else? Check again.
- Welfare Worker: [looking at some papers] The waiting list for manual labor is still two weeks. Why don't you go back to school? Attend a community college? Learn a trait?
- Frankie Dunlan: I've got a family to support. And all social programs have been cut. What do you expect me to do?
- Welfare Worker: There is nothing I can do. You can keep coming here or can go to welfare, but I doubt they will do anything because they keep cutting back on handouts. I don't know what else to tell you.
- Frankie Dunlan: Tell me some good news.
- Welfare Worker: It's 1:30pm.
