Quotes[]
- Chad Warwick: I am trying here! I am trying to make this place warm and inviting and spectacular and have this Halloween party shot by Elle friggin' Decor so someone will see it and sweep in and take this place off our hands, and then I can feel free to fall in love with a 25-year-old who has great biceps. So get off my back, carve a goddamn pumpkin, go get a goddamn costume, and man up.

- Chad Warwick: And pick me up some Gala apples. I thought these Golden Delicious would look dramatic in the bobbing bucket. They just look dull and depressing. There's no contrast.

- Vivien Harmon: We have style.
- Marcy: Everybody thinks they have style, and everybody thinks they're funny. Most people aren't.

- Chad Warwick: I think you should just leave.
- Vivien Harmon: You think we should just leave our house?
- Chad Warwick: It's not your house. We know it, you know it, and the house knows it. Frankly, you don't deserve it.
