Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : It's all about who you know.
-
Brady Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : [asking about Holocaust survivors] You know any survivors, Dad?
Marty Livingston : Hmm. Do I know any? Personally?
Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : Well, technically, your Zeda is a survivor.
Brady Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : He was in a concentration camp?
Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : No, but he had to escape the Nazis.
Brady Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : But I thought he came over to America before the war.
Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : Well, he did, with his family. But his cousins, they had to stay and they were all killed. And if he'd stayed, he would've been killed. So in my book, he's a survivor.
Brady Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : Even though it was only his cousins that were killed?
Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : But that could've happened to him, or... or to me, if I'd been alive. Or you.
Mikey Livingston : Or me?
Scooby Livingston : You mean, then we're all survivors?
Fern Livingston (segment "Non-Fiction") : Well, yes. If it hadn't been for Hitler, he wouldn't have had to leave Europe. We would've been European.
Scooby Livingston : But then, in a sense, since you would've never have met Dad if your family had stayed in Europe, if it weren't for Hitler none of us would've been born.
Marty Livingston : Get the hell out of here.
