"Pass the sweet potatoes, please. I really like them, Mr. Beckett"
"I'm glad, Alexis. And please, call me Jim."
"That's your third helping, Alexis."
"Pot, meet kettle."
"You don't like my stuffing?"
"Only when it's not extra crispy, Dad."
"Yes, Richard, weren't you in the kitchen when the alarm went off? Whatever were you and Detective Beckett doing that had you so distracted that you overcooked the turkey by a good fifteen minutes?"
"Mother!"
"I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about, Martha. We weren't doing anything but cooking."
"Yes, I'm certain you were."
"Mother, please!"
"Now, Martha, let's not embarrass them too much."
"Thank you, Dad."
"We have plenty of time for that during dessert."
