Eve and Roarke had an argument over money, and how she hasn't had to think about it since they got married, and she doesn't like that. But the argument turned more into decision on how to deal with that (both ways). Eve was really glad it didn't become a full-blown fight.

Roarke (upon Eve waking up): There she is.

Eve: Itβs Roarkeβs.

Eve: Does the price include going to France to buy it?
Peabody: If only, But since I doubled my money, I can afford it. Now I just have to decide what color. I may go for the red, because big pop of color there. But the blue is so gorgeous.

Roarke: Iβll get your coffee, as I want one myself.
Eve: Hold mine until I shower.
Roarke (shocked): Did you saw hold the coffee? Did the dream punch from Big Bitch Brenda knock something loose?

Mavis (beaming): Want me to teach you how to make a magalicious salad?

They call them dooryards in Ireland, and I don't get that, either, but at least there's a kind of yard outside the door.
Peabody: Why are they yards? Itβs not like everybody's is a multiple of three feet.
