Siggy: Maybe I'm in mourning for my lost childhood.
Dr. Leo Marvin: You understand, don't you? There's no other solution. You won't go away.

And you'll do something else to make everyone in my life think you are wonderful and I'm a schmuck. But I'm not a schmuck, Bob, and I'm not going to let you breeze into town and take my family away from me, just because you're crazy enough to be *fun*.
