• Ashley : [to Peter, about Charlene]  What is she doin' here?

  Charlene Morton : Oh, get used to it, twiggy; you're gonna be seein' a lot more of me around here!

  Ashley : [to Peter, about Charlene]  Not without a broom in your hand.

  Charlene Morton : If I HAVE a broom, it's only cuz I'm here to sweep up the white trash!

  Ashley : Save it for the Y.M.C.A, Jemimah.

  Charlene Morton : Bitch! I will kick the bulimia outta yo' ass!

• Ashley : Compliments of Tae-Bo: 2 hours a day 5 days a week

  Charlene Morton : Compliments of the hood: 24 hours a day all my life!

• Ashley : Oh, I can't talk about it 'cause gangsta people will come to my house and cut me.

• Kate Sanderson : [on the phone]  Hello?

  Ashley : Hey, it's me.

  Kate Sanderson : Oh, hi, Ashley. Everything okay?

  Ashley : I don't know. I saw Peter hanging out at the club today. He was mingling with a large black woman.

  Kate Sanderson : What? What are you talking about?

  Ashley : He said it was his nanny. She didn't look like any nanny I'd ever seen. She was all... tattooed and banjee and welfarish. It was...

  [Kate laughs as Glen was flirting with her] 

  Ashley : [thinking Kate was laughing at her]  Oh, is that funny to you? Is that funny? Am I funny to you.

  Kate Sanderson : No, no. That's not funny

  Ashley : Were you laughing at me?

  Kate Sanderson : Oh. I wasn't -

  [to Glen] 

  Kate Sanderson : Stop. Get away.

  [back to Ashley on the phone] 

  Kate Sanderson : No, I wasn't laughing at you. Just... hang on. You know, look, I know Peter, I know him. He's not gonna spend all this time taking care of the kids. He went and hired somebody!

  Ashley : Seriously, Kate! This woman was no nanny. You need to do something. I saw this woman. I was there and you weren't. Shouldn't you look at least be looking at references?

  Kate Sanderson : [to Glen]  Thank you. Thank you.

  [back to Ashley] 

  Kate Sanderson : Listen, Peter is nothing if not responsible. It's not like he's gonna hire a convicted felon.

  Ashley : Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that.

• Ashley : [to Charlene]  You messed with the wrong W.A.S.P. bitch.

• Georgey Sanderson : Dad's here.

  Kate Sanderson : Thank you, sweetie pie.

  [kisses Georgey] 

  Ashley : [to Georgey]  Don't worry, sweetie. Daddy's stupid, too, and he became a lawyer.

  Kate Sanderson : Ashley!

  Georgey Sanderson : I'm not stupid.

  Kate Sanderson : That's right.

  Ashley : No, no, no. Of course not.
