Quotes 

• Molly Farrell : Kate's using her loud voice!

  Kate Harper : I'm sorry, Molly, I didn't see you.

  Molly Farrell : Well, I'm here.

• Kate Harper : Eileen's here?

  Ross Harper : Yeah, she hasn't been over in, oh, I'd say 8 or 9 hours. It's kind of a homecoming for her.

• Kate Harper : God, am I tired!

  Ross Harper : Well go back to bed, Mom. I've always found there's no problem too big you can't sleep through.

• Kate Harper : Was I imagining things or was Emily crying ALL through the night?

  Brian Harper : Oh gee, I think she quieted down around midnight.

  Kate Harper : I distinctly remember hearing crying at three in the morning.

  Ross Harper : Uh, Ma, that was me.

  Brian Harper : What were you crying about?

  Ross Harper : Well, Godzilla Vs. Rodan was on TV. I always root for Rodan... He always loses... Poor guy!

• Kate Harper : Today is our field trip to the petting zoo. I want to be there for it. The children love nothing better than petting baby goats!

  Ross Harper : Oh, it's quite a thrill for the goats too.

• Kate Harper : My, we're a little cranky this morning.

  Ross Harper : Well, aren't we the pot calling the kettle black? You practically bit Dad's head off for trying to decaffeinate you.

  Kate Harper : I'm not cranky, I'm cheerful. When I was a child, they used to call me Sunny!

  Brian Harper : To your face?

• Eileen Swift : You know, I've never said this before but, uh, I consider you my best friend.

  Kate Harper : You do?

  Eileen Swift : Well, I'll go further than that. Um, you and Brian are my only friends. Why do you think I'm here all the time? To play with the Etch A Sketch?

• Eileen Swift : Kate, the reason you are so tired all the time is because you are pushing yourself too much. I see it happen all the time! I know women who get up at the crack of dawn and exercise, eat three power-meals, but they've left no time for themselves.They're totally hollow! And I think it's very sad.

  Kate Harper : Well Eileen, thank you for the concern, but isn't that kinda like what you do?

  Eileen Swift : Yeah, but I make a fortune!

• Kate Harper : I didn't mean to let all of you down today, but don't you ever have one of those days when you just feel you're not good at what you're doing?

  Molly Farrell : No, not really.
