Marty Taylor: Well, excuse me, but I happen to think
[dog toy squeaks]

Tim: What's that supposed to mean?
Marty Taylor: Oh, come on. Your wife sent you down here to bite my head off
[dog toy squeaking]
Marty Taylor: about something that you don't even believe.

Marty Taylor: Yeah? Well, I'm my own man
[dog toy squeaks]
Marty Taylor: and I don't happen to agree with what your wife sent you down here to tell me.
