Nice save there Faye. I think that Angus is actually growing on her.

I think the line you're looking for is
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!"

I'm late, but 'grats on using the correct plural. The non-obviousness of it (octopi is wrong, period) is why I encourage people to just stick to the standard English plural formation and say "octopuses". If you don't speak Latin or Greek, don't pretend you do. Just go with the flow and speak English.
pwhodges:
I follow Fowler, who as long ago as the 1920s wrote, in Modern English Usage:
--- Quote ---the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses
--- End quote ---
and went on to say that [as we know] octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic.
