“By the Book” · Season 1

In this episode: Paul (3), Cate (2), Bridget (1), Kerry (1)

(As Paul is reading a parenting book)

So what's the sudden interest after all my years of begging?

Well Cate, I just figured it's time. Our daughters are maturing and you know it would be foolish of me not to use expert resources available right at my fingertips.

They've beaten you down, haven't they?

They're killing me by inches.

Paul (to Bridget and Kerry): You're both grounded, go to your room.

What! You've officially destroyed my life and you're like a life destroyer! I hate you!

I hate you too. You're the meanest father ever. You're meaner then Angela's father.

Angela's father did time!

Exactly!

(about the girls) Well, it's official. They hate me again.

Aw, congratulations. (holds up two tickets) Maybe these'll make you feel better.

Red Wings, center ice? Where did you get these?

(imitating Anthony) Shoot. I was kickin' wit my partner Anthony W., and he gave me the 411 on how he got B to the K all grounded and whatnot. He was all, "Damn, Mrs. Henn, that's cold! I gots to make dat right!" So he hooked me these fazoon duckets. Know what I mean?
