Quotes
-
Hope Murdoch Steadman : You don't like any of them?
Val Shilladay : Well, some of it. The ones we've done before. Didn't you read the magazine when you were away?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Well, I tried, but it all blurs together with the baby, and I think the last thing I read was "Curious George Files a Class-Action Suit".

Hope Murdoch Steadman : [after finding old pictures of their house's previous owners] That's Roy, Sally, and her mother. And this was her house.
Michael Steadman : Mm. What's this?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Ooh, don't look. It's the garden. You'll be depressed. Remember the unfaded piece of wallpaper?
Michael Steadman : Yeah. In the dining room?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it was the radio. One of those big, old-fashioned kind with this picture on top.
Michael Steadman : Oh. They have kids?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : They just got married. Give them time.
Michael Steadman : I don't know. This house seems like it was made for a lot of kids.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : We'll never know.
[he takes one of the photographs]
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Michael!
Michael Steadman : Admit it, babe. You're hot for the uniform.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Oh, you're just jealous 'cause you don't even have a uniform.
Michael Steadman : Oh, yes, I do. I have a Cub Scout uniform.

Val Shilladay : What about the radon business Joy talked about in the staff meeting?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : I could do that.
Val Shilladay : We could make it personal. Uh, from the angle of your average hysterical homeowner. You take a young couple, they make a few bucks, they buy a big house, they wait for the sweet life, and then they don't know what they've gotten into.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : [sarcastic] I don't know anybody like that.
Val Shilladay : But what we're saying is you have to know your own house from top to bottom, literally. So, great. You go write that.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Me? I'm a researcher.
Val Shilladay : Murdoch, my writers win awards ripping off your research reports.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : You want me to write this?
Val Shilladay : And hand me the report three weeks ago.

Val Shilladay : You thinking about having another one?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Val, I'm still trying to get the computer to spell my name right so I can cash my first six paychecks. You're talking to me about another kid?
