Quotes 

• Al : I remember my first Christmas rebellion: I was so mad. My parents went out and bought an artificial tree. The whole Christmas I refused to sing 'Oh, Tannenbaum'.

  Tim : Oh, my. You were a bad, bad Borland.

  [to Jill] 

  Tim : Are you all right?

  Al : Yeah I'm okay. It was a long time ago.

  Tim : [to Jill]  I meant, are YOU okay?

• Al : [In church]  I'll just take a pew behind you.

  Tim : Most people use the bathroom, Al.

• [the members of the Christmas service choir have letters pinned onto their robes to spell "NOEL", but are standing out of order] 

  Al : Who's "LEON"?

  Randy Taylor : Maybe Leon was born in the manger next door.

• Al : I saw Mark in his costume. I always wanted to be the letter N.

  Tim : That's impossible, Al. The song specifically says No Al.

  [singing to the tune of Noel] 

  Tim : No Al, No Al, No Al, No Al.

• Al : I can't find Tim. I checked the bathrooms. Men's AND women's. Boy, was Mrs. Lindsey surprised.

• Al : I saw Mark in his little robe. Boy, I always wanted to be the letter N.

  Tim : That's impossible, Al. The song specifically says No Al.

  [singing to the tune of Noel] 

  Tim : No Al, No Al, No Al, No Al.
