TV show quotes
A group called the Talibans is in power in Afghanistan. The atrocities they're commiting against women in the name of religion are shocking. I don't know whether to be angry of what Afghan women don't have or grateful for what I do.
There's no reason why you can't be both.
This is the most important thing you have to do before your wedding. There's still a lot of issues left to resolve before you two stand in front of your families and friends and promise to be together for the rest of you lives.
After we're married, we'll have the rest of our lives to talk about these things. I don't mean to be insensitive here, but it's not our fault you had a heart attack which forced us to push these counseling sessions up to just before the wedding.
We haven't even discussed the vows.
Love, honor and obey. What's to discuss?
Well, for one thing there's that pesky word, "obey." Jump on in here anytime you want, Jessica. (looks at Jessica for her opinion.)
You know, like you said, a husband has to be responsible for providing for the family.
Uh, I believe I said "parents." Parents or a parent as the case may be has to be responsible for providing for the family. Of course, those responsibilities can be divided up in any number of ways depending on the couple doing the dividing wants.
Jessica will be responsible for cooking and cleaning and laundry and childcare. And I will be responsible for bringing home a paycheck, deciding how that money is spent and when it's time for us to have children. These are pretty traditional division of responsibilities, not much different from the way you and Annie do things.
You think that's what Annie and I do? (Ryan agrees.) Okay, I have to admit that the division of labor has been a little off lately, but that's because of my heart attack. When I was in- when I get back to fighting form, Annie and I have one philosophy: Do whatever is necessary, whenever necessary and whenever amicable to whomever necessary.
We haven't seen you around. What, did you finally buy some groceries?
No, I've been bust deciding what I'm gonna be when I grow up.
Picking a major?
Yup. Pre-med. I'm gonna to be a doctor.
I hate this job, I hate this job, I hate this job!
So let me ask you something. Do you hate this job?
Who's there?
My name's Adam. (emerges from the hospital bed covers)
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.
Gee, I wish I could say I've never heard that one before. (Matt looks embarrassed) Relax, I don't take that kind of thing personally.
Where's your father, Ruthie?
He's at home and he doesn't know that I'm here. And I risk being punished to tell all of you that my dad really needs that raise so he could buy a new car. But I think you should change your minds. Do you know all the things my father does? He helps kids who are in trouble and people without jobs or houses. And when something really bad happens, he's there. And you know why? 'Cause he cares. But don't worry, he'll keep caring whether he gets the raise or not. I'm just hoping you'll change your minds. That's about all I have to say.
The entire board saw you riding in that new red convertible, Eric. And the other day when I was here, some guys delivered some fixtures. We thought if you had the money to get the car and to remodel the house. Chances are you didn't need the raise especially with as well as Annie manages a household budget. Now, I'm sorry. Ruthie explained everything and of course, we will give you your annual raise. And we're sorry if we gave you an impression other than that we are grateful for everything you do for us.
So, what kind of fun stuff do we have planned for tomorrow?
[to Eric] Teacher Work Day. No school for Ruthie.
Yes!
Okay, let's see. Tomorrow, you can help me clean the bathrooms, do the laundry, repair the kitchen sink, iron the socks, reorganize the linen closet, and go shopping.
Toy shopping?
Food shopping.
Man, this is gonna be worse than school!
[when Eric gives her a funny look] What?
It is going to be worse than school.
Did you hear the rumor? It's all over school.
I just saw you this morning. How could anything be all over school?
Well, what can I say the real juicy stuff has a life of its own. Corey Conway had a baby when she was 14.
Corey had a baby?
Yeah, Maggie, the new girl said that there was a Corey Conway who went to her junior high school, and that Corey got pregnant and dropped out of school and had a baby.
How did you hide this from everyone?
It wasn't easy. I couldn't have anyone over to my house. I couldn't go to parties or stay out late. Forget about dating. With taking care of a baby, I barely had time to go to school or play basketball. When I think about it, I actually don't even know how I was able to finish high school. Most teen mothers don't. I do know that I couldn't have done it without my mom. She's been there for me every step of the way since the day I told her I was pregnant.
Man, motherhood at fourteen.
You know what's harder than motherhood? Your friends talking and whispering behind you back.
Not everyone is talking about you.
Please, this spring I'm graduating Magna Cum Laude. I'm the top score on a championship basketball team and I've been accepted to three Ivy League Colleges. But now, thanks to Maggie, the only thing that everyone cares about is that at fourteen, I had a baby.
I'd really like to thank the local businessman's association for this honor, but I can't. Excellence in sports and in life to individuals we have future generations see as role models. I've never thought of myself as a role model. I go to school and get good grades. I go to basketball games and score points, but a role model, I don't think so. But there was a real role model who was supposed to receive this award with me today. But at the last minute the committee changed their minds. You all know who I'm talking about, because for the last 24 hours, most of you have done nothing but talk about her. She's my friend, my teammate. She's Corey Conway. And when she was 14, she had a baby. Corey Conway is a person, not an issue. And the only statement made by celebrating her achievements is to honor that someone who didn't take the easy road in life and did what few others could have done. Finish high school with honors while raising a baby. I want to let you know how I feel before I bring Corey out on stage and give her my award because even if she's not a role model for the local businessman's association or for some of the students at this school, she is for me.
Look, I'm the minister at the Glenoak Community Church. And if there's a problem, I can help, I can...
No, thank you, but I think you should mind your own business.
When your son brought drugs into my house it became my business.
[to Jeff)] I should have kicked you out. I should have told you that if you did drugs, you couldn't live with me, but I thought turning my back on my son made me a bad mother. But I was wrong. It made me a bad grandmother. Look, if you won't straighten up for me, do it for Lee. He's your son! You need to act like his father, and if you don't make me a promise, right that you will take the steps to clean up your life, then I will take custody of Lee, and you'll never see us again. And I don't want to do that. I just can't sit by and watch my grandson turn to drugs, the way my son did.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step. I think it's the hardest step, too.
I'll be there for you every step of the way, and as long as you're clean and sober, you can live with me. But you've got to get a job. You've got to start contributing to the household.
I just...I don't know if I can do it.
Dad, please. I already lost a mom. I don't want to lose you, too. I love you.
So, how is Glenoak's newest licensed driver?
Fantastic! I love the freedom of driving down the road, with the wind in my hair. It's very exhilarating.
You can't feel the wind when you're only going 5 miles an hour.
Lucy drives way too slow.
When it comes to your children driving a car, there is no such thing as driving to slow.
Thank you. (shifts her gaze and comment towards Mary) And the reason I drive slow is because you have your big feet hanging out the window.
Hey, I give my dogs some air.
From now on you keep your dogs in the car.
Dogs?! Try horses!
Excuse me, pinhead!
I am strong. I am strong. I am capable of handling anything.
I'm leaving my husband! We tried, but it's over.
I am strong. I am calm. I am capable of handing anything.
Great. Are you capable of carrying my suitcase!?
What happened?
I'm not having a baby with that man. I refuse. No one can make me. No one.
I don't understand. I thought you and Hank were happy.
The marriage was a big mistake. Big mistake... (looks at Eric) It's all your fault! You know how I am. If someone tells me to go left, I go right. If they tell me to jump up, I sit down. If you hadn't disliked that man so much, I never would've married him!
My back is killing me!
What's wrong?
I don't feel so good. And I have this cramping thing. May be it's an upset stomach...
I think you may be in labor.
That's impossible. I'm only 8 months pregnant. Besides, I can't be in labor 'cause I'm not going to have a baby with that man!
