Rules 31 to 35
Sacred food
Rule 31: Make no comment when Nora serves weird vegetarian meal.
- Ed: We (men) don't know why, but women like eating grass. It's unfair. They impose their salad, even we offer a compromise. If they want grazing alfalfa, there's the lawn for it.
- Liz: "Men are so stupid!"
Rule 32: Don't criticize Nora's cooking.
- The last time someone did, Nora had a nervous breakdown. She cried all night and nobody was able to stop it.
- Derek, Edwin and George were disappointed when the day after, they had nothing for dinner.
- Casey and Lizzie were furious at their macho behaviour.
- We'll let you imagine what happened after that…
Rule 33: Don't initiate a food fight.
- A Venturi-McDonald food fight is not pretty to see. No one emerges unscathed.
- Only family members are allowed to initiate a food fight.
- Take note that Derek and Casey are the only ones to take advantage of this privilege.
Rule 34: Leave the BBQ chips alone.
- They are men's property.
- George, Derek and Edwin will track you down anywhere in the world if you steal their precious chips.
Rule 35: Leave the vegetables to the girls.
- "Anyway, who wants to eat cow's food?!"
- Liz: "You're a dead man, Edwin."
- "Seriously, girls and their weight obsession…"
- Liz: "You're so dead."
- "Don't be ridiculous guys, eat fast-food! "
- Liz: "Don't listen him, he's foolish."
- Ed: "That's false!"
- Liz: "No, it's true."
- Ed: "False!"
- Liz: "True!"
- Ed: "False!"
- Liz: "True!"
- …
- It seems evident that the authors have different opinions on this point.
