[when Matt, Mary, and Lucy are in her office] Ok, I'll give the family rate, one day suspension each.
S2 E2See You in September
S2 E3Who Knew?
[about the joint he found in the house] I just.... I know it's Matt's.
If it isn't, and if you accuse Matt of something this serious, who knows what will happen. I don't think your relationship with Matt can afford to withstand any false accusations.
If you're doing drugs, Matt, I want you to stop. If anything ever happened to you, I would never forgive myself.
Sounds like I'm already guilty.
What were you thinking?! It's bad enough you're smoking dope, but then you had to bring it in here where someone else could find it. What if one of the younger kids had found it first?
I didn't think...
That's just it, you didn't think, because if you thought of anyone besides yourself, you'd know that the look you just saw on Simon's face was the look of a boy who has lost all respect for his older brother!
That's not why!
I'm not finished! Just answer me one thing, it will help me sleep better. Just tell me you wanted to get caught? Because you couldn't have possibly expected to get away with this. Or better yet, tell me why anyone could be so stupid as to do drugs in the first place!?
I don't know, Dad! Why don't you ask Mom? Maybe she can tell you!
Don't you dare bring your mother into this. Apologize right now! [Someone honks a car horn outside, waiting for Matt] Oh, you're not going anywhere.
Well, I'm not staying here. [leaves]
[to Simon] Why are you so mad, and why is Daddy shouting?
Because our big brother is a jerk, and a major loser.
But I don't understand. I love Matt and he loves me.
I'll explain when you get a little older. Just go to sleep.
I don't know if things will ever be the same between Dad and Matt. Or even Mom and Matt.
Yeah, I mean, I don't see how they could be. It's like Wilson said. It's one of those mistakes that you can't take back.
I can't believe you told Matt you did drugs.
I thought it might be useful! I thought you understood I was going to tell him!
I was never under that impression. We don't have to share everything with our kids! We don't share our sex lives with them!
I'm sorry! I thought maybe Matt wouldn't feel so far away from us if I told him! I had no idea he would throw it back in my face.
Well, that was another issue entirely. He shouldn't have done that.
Oh, I didn't think it would turn out this way. [starts crying] I'm just so disappointed.
Some mistakes are like jumping out of a plane. Once you do it, you can't take it back.
S2 E4Says Who?
BMrs. Bink
[yelling at Eric] You call yourself a minister?! [slams the door in Eric's face]
HMrs. Hinkle
Do you think some stranger could hurt me worse than my own children trying to scare me out of my house so they can pay off their credit cards and travel? I think I'd rather take my chances with the stranger. It would be less painful and frankly, a lot less embarrassing. You're lucky I'm not carrying my pepper spray.
BMrs. Bink
Oh, I've got mine. [starts digging in her purse]
Ah, no, I don't think we'll need that.
What's going on?
Well, dinner's almost ready, the trash needs to go out, and your brother is shrinking.
[to Simon] You need to see a doctor.
I am shrinking. For real.
So what did the doctor say?
Well, Simon's not the same height he was this time last year.
I'm and inch taller and I'm broader around the chest, but I'm not surprised. I work out.
[sarcastically] Oh, yeah.
I could never be bulimic like Shelby. I just don't have the self-discipline to make myself throw up.
You know, this conversation wouldn't annoy me so much if we actually knew Shelby was bulimic, but we don't, and you and this conversation have both crossed the line from "annoying" into the land of "I'm going to have to kill you if you don't shut up."
