Claude:  "Like Dameon Edwards, I have no idea why I'm here or why it's never totally explained. I'm both alive and dead.  But know this:  so long as I'm here, I can pay my rent and buy groceries.  Mmmmmwwwaaahhhaaaa!"

Carolyn:  "Uncle Roger, you think Laugh Out is one of the best series on TV?  Obviously, you haven't seen The Chimp and Me which is cleaning up in the ratings."

Carolyn:  "Booze, bundt cakes and baked hams, and a double-indemnity life insurance clean-up.  Plus everyone feels sorry for you and you can date again.  Oh, yes, it's great being widowed."

I saw it with friends in the theater when it was first released.  It really creeped us out.  The cast was stellar.

Julia:  "Oh, Barnabas, what am I going to do?  I discovered that Hoffman had maxed out her Dining Card and I'm responsible for it!"

Julia:  "I...I just don't know.  I found out if I stay in this time band and resume my medical practice, I don't have to accept medicare patients."

It appears that she died from sepsis caused by a perforation of her intestine.  An article states that this is a very "common" form of death (over a quarter-of-a-million people a year) that goes undiagnosed until it is too late.  People who suffer from it just don't "feel well," but think it's nothing until it's too late.  The reports state that this was the case with Patty Duke.  Many are hoping that this tragedy will raise hope that more people will become aware of this medical emergency.

It almost happened to my mother.  She had a perforation of her intestine but chalked it up to having an occasional "belly-ache."  She "treated" it with Pepto-Bismal for quite some time and refused to go to the doctor.  One night, she collapsed, was rushed to an emergency room where it was discovered that her internal organs were surrounded by sepsis.  A half-hour from dying, surgery was performed to clean out the infection and remove quite a bit of her intestines with the overwhelming odds she would die on the operating table, but without the surgery she would certainly die.  She did survive (albeit with a colostomy) and lived with the results for years until she died from Lewy Bodies Disease (a form of dementia that Estelle Getty - Sophia on The Golden Girls - passed away from).

I thought it was rather hysterical and spot-on.  It brought up the many reincarnations of Lara - somebody did their homework.
