Quote of the Day: Roswell
From "A Roswell Christmas Carol" (2.10):
[Michael shows Isabel the present he bought for his girlfriend, Maria.]
Isabel: This is a toothbrush.
Michael: It's an electric toothbrush. It's practical.
Isabel: It is practical... Are you going to give it to Maria as a stocking stuffer?
Michael: No, this is going to be her present. She set a price limit. If I exceed that budget, then there's going to be hell to pay.
Isabel: Actually, I think Maria would find it in her heart to forgive you for exceeding the price limit, though there would be hell to pay if you gave the girl you love an electric toothbrush for Christmas. You're better off getting her no gift at all.
Michael: No, I tried the "no present" idea last year. It didn't work.
Isabel: Last year was your first year together and you didn't give her a present?
Michael: Hey, I don't even believe in this. So why should I get sucked into it? The whole thing's a marketing scam invented to get people to buy things they don't even need.
Isabel: Well you could write that on the card when you give her a dental product for Christmas.
