Old: She isn’t being too forward if she is wearing an undergarment, which the new one isn’t, at least over her midriff.
New: The date is at 79th and Ashland in Chicago. You’ll need the protection Mom is offering, but don’t aim it at a cop.
“Now hurry up and finish changing Jeffrey. Your Liza Manelli show starts in 10”

K: “Fine” was making a reference to daughter’s sexual orientation, but usually Craig Ferguson plays Liza Minnelli, or vice versa.
