  Rob Petrie : Oh, honey, everybody's a snoopy-nose. We all like to know what's inside things.

  Laura Petrie : What?

  Laura Petrie : [smiles]  About three seconds.

  Rob Petrie : Three?

  [looks at his watch] 

  Rob Petrie : One, two...

  Laura Petrie : I forgive you!

  [they kiss deeply]

  Rob Petrie : Forty million.

  Laura Petrie : FORTY million people, that I'm a pathological snoopy-nose.
