That whole scene with the Maintenance men


Or whatever you'd call the chap that came around to look at the windows, is the funniest thing I've seen in ages and frighteningly accurate. A great lighthearted moment in what is a bleak film overall.

Great punchline from Colin too - 'Have we got ants then?'

"What are we? Lumberjacks??" - Reverend Jim Ignatowski

I also thought that scene was incredibly funny. The maintenance man giving his hippie views, the aunt her materialistic views, Colin trying to understand what the hell are they talking about, and the mother - she was the funniest of them all, looking around in some sort of strange confusion. That was a clash of cultures and classes.
