Melanie Chartoff: Didi Pickles

Quotes 

• Didi Pickles : I've been going over our bills, Stu, and I thought maybe if you got a job outside the house, we could...

  Stu Pickles : Deed, an inventor of my stature can't be worried about petty financial details. My mind has to be free to create!

  Didi Pickles : Oh! And when does an inventor of your stature intend to *finish* this bubble thing?

  Stu Pickles : Did Mozart's wife ask him how long it would take to finish his Requiem?

  Didi Pickles : Stu, Mozart died without finishing his Requiem.

  Stu Pickles : [scratching his head]  OK, bad example.

  Didi Pickles : Well, in the meantime, you always have your sales background.

  [holds up a newspaper] 

  Didi Pickles : Here's an ad! "Consolidated Lard is looking for telephone representatives."

  Stu Pickles : [looks at the ad]  Consolidated *Lard*?

• Stu Pickles : [cheerfully]  Well, things seem to be going smoothly this morning. I guess Drew learned his lesson.

  Didi Pickles : What are you talking about?

  [the doorbell rings; Didi goes to the front door and opens it] 

  Didi Pickles : Drew!

  Drew Pickles : [furiously]  Where's Stu?

  [cut to dining room; Stu sips his coffee as Drew storms in] 

  Drew Pickles : Stu, let's talk.

  Stu Pickles : [offers Drew a seat]  Fine by me.

  Drew Pickles : [sits down and faces Stu]  I couldn't get to the office yesterday because *someone* had my car towed!

  Stu Pickles : And I suppose I wore my *disco suit* to work yesterday just for kicks, huh?

  Drew Pickles : I don't know what you're talking about, but I bet you know something about the fifty *pizzas* I got the other day!

  Stu Pickles : I thought you came here to apologise.

  Drew Pickles : [stands up]  Apologise?

  [stammers and points to Stu] 

  Drew Pickles : *You're* the one who should apologise!

  Stu Pickles : [stands up]  *Me*? What an idea! I guess we have nothing to discuss.

  [they cross arms and turn their backs on each other] 

  Didi Pickles : [enters holding a book]  Oh, Drew! While you're here, I have something for you.

  [opens the book] 

  Didi Pickles : It's a cheque from Stu for 120 dollars.

  [hands Drew the cheque] 

  Didi Pickles : He wrote it last summer, but it seems he's been using it as a bookmark!

  Drew Pickles : Why, thanks, Didi.

  [scowls at Stu] 

  Stu Pickles : [giggles nervously]  Drew, I, uh, I have to go to work.

• [Stu enters the kitchen; Didi feeds Tommy; Lou reads the newspaper] 

  Didi Pickles : Morning, Stu. All set for work?

  Stu Pickles : All set?

  [pulls a teddy bear out of his coat pocket] 

  Stu Pickles : I'm lucky to be alive! When I opened my closet this morning, an avalanche of toys fell on me!

  [pulls a plastic axle from his hair] 

  Lou Pickles : [looks up from his newspaper]  Toys? Why'd you put toys in your closet?

  Stu Pickles : [puts the toys down on the table]  Pop, I didn't put them there! Somebody else did, but who?

  [snaps his fingers] 

  Stu Pickles : Drew!

  Lou Pickles : Huh?

  Stu Pickles : I can't believe Drew would stoop so low over a lousy hundred and twenty bucks, *which*, I might add, I already paid him back! I'll show him.

  [chuckles, dials the phone and holds his nose] 

  Stu Pickles : Yes, I'd like to order fifty large pepperoni and mushroom pizzas.

  [smirks to himself] 

  Stu Pickles : My name? Drew Pickles.
