Diana: "You can call us Diana and Trish for short. We'll be doing it for our home state of Rhode Island."

[BEEP!]
Trish: "Anyway… According to the Rhode Island constitution, you can be—" Trish snorts and coughs with her mouth closed to keep from laughing "— can be jailed for five years for—" More stifled laughter.
Diana: "—for stealing a chicken."
Both burst into laughter.
Trish: "Well, you know, they were more expensive back in the olden days."
[BEEP!]
Diana: "It is illegal to throw pickle juice on a trolley."

Trish: "Oh, so then we could throw apple juice or something?"
Diana: "Don't."

Diana: "And just who, exactly, were you planning to duel?"
Trish: "The pizza guy! Late pizza offends my honor!"
[BEEP!]
Trish: "Professional sports, except ice polo and hockey, must obtain a license to play games on Sunday."
Trish: "But people race on Sunday all the time off Fort Adams!"
Diana: "Maybe Sail Newport has a license? I guess?"
Trish:,"Are we still allowed to practice on Sundays?"
Diana: "I dunno, it's never been a problem before."
[BEEP!]
Diana: "Unmarried people caught having sex will be fined ten dollars."
Trish: "Oh." Long pause. "Oh. Do I owe—"
Diana: "Moving on!"

[BEEP!]
Trish: "You may not sell toothpaste and a toothbrush to the same customer on a Sunday."
Trish: "Why?!"
[BEEP!]
Diana: "Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void."
Trish: "Don't say anything."
Diana: "I wasn't going to."
Trish: "But you were thinking it!"
Diana: "No…"
Trish: "You were going to say 'Haha bad news for you and Rita, huh?'!"
[BEEP!]
Trish: "In the city of Newport, it is illegal to smoke a pipe after sunset."
Diana: "Wow, if we collect fines for that, we could pay for the next campaign in no time!"
[BEEP!]
Diana: "No one may bite off another's leg."
Trish: "Even if they deserve it?"
Diana: "SERIOUSLY, TRISH, WHAT THE—?!"
[BEEP!]
