Burt Johnson : [smiling broadly] When I was 11 years old, I KILLED a man.
Arthur : Well, when you're 11 you probably don't even know there's a law against that. Is Susan here?
Burt Johnson : I knew what I was doing. We were poor. He came into our house to steal our food.
Arthur : Well, he was asking for it.
Burt Johnson : I took a knife, and I killed him in the kitchen.

Burt Johnson : Hello, Arthur.
Arthur : Hello, Mr. Johnson.
Burt Johnson : I haven't seen much of you lately.
Arthur : Well, the reason you haven't seen much of me is because I, I normally pick Susan up at her apartment in town. And you live here. Want a drink?
Burt Johnson : I never drink. No one in my family ever drinks.
Arthur : That's great! You probably never run out of ice your whole life!
