- Betty Roberts: Mr. Eldridge, when you called the ambulance did... what is this?
- Tom Eldridge: It's a ladder, Betty.
- Betty Roberts: A ladder?
- Tom Eldridge: Yes, remember, you said we should boil water and call for the ambulance and Hillary said...
- Betty Roberts: Hillary said that she would take care of the former if you would take care - of the latter. Oh, Mr. Eldridge, when will I ever learn?
- Tom Eldridge: Oh it's never to late to learn, Betty. Look at me.
- Betty Roberts: Cora needs an ambulance right away.
- Tom Eldridge: Well it would do her a lot more good than this ladder, Betty. Whatever was on your mind?
- Cora: Oooh!
- Eugenia Bremer: Oh dear. Now, stay calm, Cora.
- Cora: Oooh!
- Hilary Booth: Ah ha! You're screaming because you're having a contraction.
- Cora: Is that a fact?
- Hilary Booth: Um huh. Not one of your basic contractions like those things with an apostrophe like can't, won't, shan't, don't...
- Cora: Uhhh!
- Eugenia Bremer: Is the pain getting to you, Cora?
- Cora: No. SHE is.
