"Well, you obviously don't need my help with temptation."
"No fruit, huh? How does He feel about exercise?"
"Now that's really putting your sins behind you."
"For God's sake, I didn't say eat the entire orchard!"
"There are six other deadly sins you know!"
"Looks like you've got 'gluttony' down pat, although, it does make 'vanity' a bit tougher to get right."
"Apples were over-rated anyway."
"Can't you two control yourselves? You act like you're descended from apes, or something!"
"Apparently, I'm too late!"
"Don't blame me! All I tempted you with was the fruit."
"I hope you brought enough doughnuts for everybody... Oh, wait... You ARE everybody."
"Hello. I'm Bruce, and I'll be your serpent this evening."
"Try an apple -- it's only 80 calories."
"And on the eighth day, God created Krispy Kreme . . . "
