Uncle Benny : Ed, you gotta do her.
Ed Chilton : What?
Uncle Benny : Snuff her. Rub her out. Pump her full of lead. Waste her. Re-introduce her to the big sleep.
Ed Chilton : Are you nuts? That'd be murder.
Uncle Benny : [scoffs] Murder. Why are you always so dramatic? How can it be murder? She's already dead.

[Ed opens a box full of live cockroaches]
Ed Chilton : What the... whoa! Jesus!

Ed Chilton : Bugs?
A.J. Pattle : Not bugs. Life!
Ed Chilton : I'm supposed to feed these to...
A.J. Pattle : Uh-huh. Every night before bedtime. Two of 'em. Never more, never less.
Ed Chilton : Oh my God. Mother has to eat bugs!
A.J. Pattle : But only live ones, so she can add their life to her own. Throw out the dead ones, they won't do her any good. Unless of course she just wants a snack.
