- Loretta Haggers: [pulling a bra from the laundry basket] Mary, is this yours?
- Mary Hartman: No, it's Heather's training bra.
- Loretta Haggers: Well, I didn't know she had this much to train.
- Mary Hartman: Well, she doesn't, not yet, but I brought it to her to show that I have faith in her.
- Cathy Shumway: Good morning!
- Martha Shumway: Oh, Cathy, you're always here to say good morning but you're never here to say good night! That sounds like one of Loretta's tunes, doesn't it?
- Martha Shumway: [Martha bursts into Mary's kitchen] I am at the end of my rope, at the end of my rope! And it's a good thing. If I had more rope I'd hang myself!
- Mary Hartman: You want some rope?
- Martha Shumway: Your father complaining about grocery bills, Grandpa Larkin acting like the playboy of the year, and your sister Cathy talkin' about marrying a deaf and dumb man. And it's all your fault!
