Quotes 

• Mrs. Fraleigh : I've been taking very long walks up and down Fifth Avenue.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Fine. Exercise is very important.

  Mrs. Fraleigh : I don't walk for the exercise. I walk to show off. I'm proud of my condition. Is that silly?

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Silly? That's about the healthiest attitude you could have.

• Mrs. Goethe : [pics up the phone, speaks with a strong accent]  Hallo?

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Hello, this is Dr. Boyer.

  Mrs. Goethe : Doctor nicht home. He hospital.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : No, I am Dr. Boyer. I would like to speak to Mrs. Boyer.

  Mrs. Goethe : Mrs. Boyer Picture parlour. Ich sage Nein. Doctor not home.

  [hangs up] 

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : I guess, I'm not home.

• Beverly Boyer : If anybody ever asks me to go on television again, I hope that you'll just...

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : I will. I'll beat 'em off with my stethoscope.

• Mrs. Fraleigh : I don't know when I've been so happy. I guess there's nothing more fulfilling in life than having a baby. Oh, listen to me. Something you've probably heard a thousand times.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Never stated so beautifully.

• Dr. Gerald Boyer : Now you have finally done it.

  Beverly Boyer : Done what?

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : You have finally succeeded in equating the delivery of a baby with the delivery of a commercial.

• Dr. Gerald Boyer : I'm the kind of a husband who likes to see his wife. Not staring at him from a billboard, or looking up at him from a magazine ad. I want to see her, and I want to see here in person and often.

• Dr. Gerald Boyer : You can reach me at the office... if you get tired of kissing soap!

• Beverly Boyer : Why do you have to get so excited, darling?

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Excited? I just *drove* my car into a swimming pool!

  Beverly Boyer : Gerald? You always said you wanted a pool.

• Beverly Boyer : Well, I don't like. Whatever happened to my rights as a woman?

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : I'll tell you what happened to them. They grew and they grew until they suffocated my rights as a man. Whoever said all men are created equal didn't anticipate a woman making $100,000 a year and spending it on swimming pools.

  Beverly Boyer : I did not spend it on swimming pools! You're gonna wake the children.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : Good! It'll give them a chance to get reacquainted with their mother.

• Beverly Boyer : [Yelling down from bedroom window]  Gerry!

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : [as he attempts to park his car]  What?

  Beverly Boyer : [as Gerald drives the car into the pool]  Oh!

  [as Gerald looks angrily as the car sinks in the water] 

  Beverly Boyer : Oh! Oh! Gerald, I'm coming! Darling, I'm coming! Oh!

  [after Gerald swims out of the pool] 

  Beverly Boyer : Oh, darling, you're dripping wet!

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : WHERE did the pool come from?

  Beverly Boyer : Oh, oh, oh. Darling you must be chilled to the bone.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : It's a *heated* pool. How did it get HERE?

  Beverly Boyer : Please don't shout.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : I have to shout to be heard over that bilge pump.

  Beverly Boyer : It's a filter, darling.

  Dr. Gerald Boyer : I *know* what it is. I want to know how it got in my backyard!
