MEL: I'll keep talking all the time and I'll never give you a chance to blush. We'll have such a good time when you choose me because I'm so handsome and I know you're very very pretty because when you're on the dating game, it takes a lot to get on television and I know you did and I know you're beautiful and I want to go out with you an awful lot
KAREN: Thank You 3. Bachelor number 1, pretend that you are your Mother and answer me this question. Here's the question - Is your Son normal?
PAUL: First of all Karen, I resent being taken for my Mother. It's not the first time this has happened Karen. the number of times I've ben walking down the street Karen, and friends have come up to me and mistaken me for my Mother. If I was going to answer that question truthfully, I would have to say that my Mother is not normal Karen!

PAUL: My Mother better not be watching
