Karen Barclay : Yeah. The Good Guy doll.
Maggie Peterson : There's a peddler in the alley. Behind the store. And I think he's got one.
Karen Barclay : What? What would a peddler be doing with a doll?
Maggie Peterson : Who cares! Would you grab your purse and come on? We can get a deal on it.

Peddler : Fifty bucks.
Maggie Peterson : Ten and not a penny more.
Peddler : Thirty.
Maggie Peterson : W-What? Are you kidding? That thing is not worth thirty dollars.
Peddler : Hey, look, take it or leave it. Somebody else can buy it.
Karen Barclay : I'll take it!
Maggie Peterson : Karen! It's too much money.
Karen Barclay : No, it isn't. You have no idea how much Andy wants this doll.
