- Molly MacDonald: Duncan has a problem.
- Lexie: Just the one?
- Molly MacDonald: His friend, Marie-Helene, has clearly misunderstood one of Duncan's letters. French can be such a tricky language; I mean you ask for a hairbrush and they bring you a horse-brush; it's all too, too muddling. Anyway, as I was saying, dear Marie-Helene seems confused about what it is that Duncan actually does.
- Lexie: Well, that's no surprise. Half the time Duncan's confused about about what he actually does.
- Archie MacDonald: You want me to do Duncan's job, and Duncan to do mine?
- Molly MacDonald: Very good, dear; it would have taken me hours to explain something like that to your father.
- Marie-Helene: Where's the Ferrari?
- Duncan: Um, the Ferrari's got a burst thingy.
- Lexie: Yeah, yeah, it does that all the time. Y'know, bursts it thing.
- Molly MacDonald: [the fire alarm goes off] Is there a fire?
- Archie MacDonald: No, just another one of his safety tests.
- Molly MacDonald: Oh.
- [starts to follow Archie up the stairs]
- Molly MacDonald: Oh, um Archie...
- Archie MacDonald: Mother, you've got to leave the house.
- Molly MacDonald: But you said there isn't a fire.
- Archie MacDonald: Okay, the house is in flames, you're going to be burnt to a frazzle.
- Molly MacDonald: Oh, why didn't you tell me, dear? You know how panicked I get.
- [she runs around the house madly to try and find things to save]
- Lexie: Come on, you're a free woman now.
- Stella Moon: So why would I want a man? It's taken me years to get rid of the last one!
- Molly MacDonald: [Thinking the house is on fire] I do hope it's not a big fire. Hector would be terribly disappointed to miss it.
