-->'''Pat:''' Now, I know you're a big fan of that lady over there.
-->'''Kyle:''' Pat, I'm thrilled to meet you. But, Vanna, let's just put the cards on the table. I say this respectfully. You're a TV legend. My wife is here. You were my boyhood crush. I love you. For many years in my life, you were the puzzle I wanted to solve. And I am so thrilled to be here.
-->'''Vanna:''' Wow.
-->'''Kyle:''' Do you have any advice for me today, Vanna? Because I believe you control the board. I love you, Pat. To me, this is the Vanna show. (''Pat turns to the camera with a bemused expression'')
-->'''Vanna:''' Well, thank you for those kind words. Buy vowels. Pretend like you're in your own living room, not here. Just concentrate on the puzzle board. Not me. Okay? Keep me out of it. Think of the puzzle. That's it.
-->'''Kyle:''' Wonderful. I love it.
-->'''Pat:''' "You were the puzzle I wanted to solve"? [[WhatTheHellPlayer This is your line, Kyle?]]

So I really try to talk about that experience and, you know, freezing my eggs and trying to figure out how to quit breastfeeding even though it kept flowing, you know, stuff like that.
-->'''Pat:''' I have no follow-ups. (''audience laughs'') Let's move on to your husband, because not only do you talk about him, but you work with him, too.
-->'''Natasha:''' Yes, I worked with him on the baby. (''Pat shakes his head as the audience laughs'') But I also work with him on our...
