Adam : Say, mom?
Helen : Yes, dear?
Adam : I was wondering, you know, while I was up there and all, I was thinking, well you know, I was wondering if maybe I could meet a girl? I've been thinking about that a little. Just these last fifteen years or so.
Helen : Oh Adam, it would be wonderful if you could meet a girl. One who's not a mutant and hopefully comes from Pasadena. Nothing against Valley girls but in my day anyhow girls from Pasadena, I don't know, just always seemed a little bit nicer.

[the doors have unlocked, and Helen and Adam are thrilled; Calvin slightly less so]
Adam : Do we just go on up?
Calvin : No, son. Now is the time we must be at our most cautious. We wait for night.
Helen : Oh, shit!
[Helen, realizing Adam has heard her, immediately covers her mouth]
Calvin : Helen Thomas Webber! Maybe we have been down here a little too long. Pardon her French, son.
Adam : "Shit" is French?
Calvin : [uncomfortably] Well, it's archaic French. It's a sixteenth century colloquialism, meaning, roughly, good.
Helen : Your father's right.
Adam : Well. "Shit"!

Calvin : He's smart!
Helen : Yes, dear, I know, but he's still such a baby.
Calvin : He's a man.
Helen : He's a baby man.
