Transcript:
Alice: Daddy, what does that sign say? Dad: "Cul De Sac." Dad: It's French. It means "bottom of the bag." Alice:Like when we get fast food and all the French fries fall into the bottom of the bag and it gets all greasy, and who wants all the ketchup packages? Bleh. Dad: Yes, exactly that.

i’d rather have malt vinegar for my fries that ketchup

bald: Oh yeah, malt vinegar and fries - I sure miss the “old” H. Salt Fish and Chips, when no one worried too much about fried foods and trans fats, and everything tasted great. Now it’s healthy and as enjoyable to eat as cardboard.

The nicest thing about living on a cul de sac is that you can only be run over by drivers you KNOW.

Nice going, Alice’s Dad — now she’s gonna grow up with some sort of complex about having grown up on a street with a name that she’ll be reminded of everytime she goes to those golden arches (or wherever) and gets fries… you just wait and see!

Dead End, huh? Well, isn’t the bottom of the bag pretty much a dead end?
