Elaine Marie Benes: Oh well nothing wrong with that. Gotta make those big bucks... money money money money money money money... ha ha ha ha ah... are you a communist?
Ned: Yes, as a matter of fact I am.
Elaine Marie Benes: Oh, ah! Oh! Wow! Whoa! A Commie! Wow, gee, man it must be a bummer for you guys, what with the fall of the Soviet empire and everything.

Elaine Marie Benes: Yeah, but come on...
