    • Quotes

      Francis: Well, look at that - 8:00 already, way past my bedtime. Where do I sleep?

      Grandma Ida: You're sitting on it

      Francis: Does it turn into a bed?

      Grandma Ida: Yes, it becomes a bed.

      [sarcastically]

      Grandma Ida: It's a special magic sofa. It opens up for magic, lazy boy. And angels come out feed you grapes and sing to you while you sleep, and it flies around the room, granting wishes to boys who are stupid!

      Francis: All right! It doesn't fold out!
