I'd rather have a colicky baby than a crabby teenager any day.
Yeah. He's twelve going on sixteen. I swear he suddenly woke up like a completely different person. He doesn't want to do his chores. He doesn't want to play with Finn. He stays in his room all the time.
Well, we all know what that means.
[Claudia Joy looks at Denise and both laugh]
Oh, no! Do not even go there!
I'm just saying you might wanna see what kind of magazines he's keeping under his mattress.
[laughs in horror] Trust me, I do not!
That's perfectly natural. [Roxy looks at him] I'm just sayin'.
Gotta strap yourself in, Roxy. The teen years are not for the faint of heart.
The worst part? Just when things start to get better, they leave.
[about meeting Jeremy's fiancée] I don't know that "excited" is the right word. Not that I don't want to meet her. It's just...incredibly weird. I mean...I'm gonna be a mother-in-law.
Ah yes, the hyphenate that strikes fear in the hearts of women everywhere.
And I suppose you love your mother-in-law, huh?
She never visits, she never calls, what's not to love? [gets up to leave] I gotta go home to see my wife.
Oh, sure, rub it in. You've got someone to go home to unlike the four D's here.
Deployed, deployed, deployed, divorced.
[on the phone with Jeremy] She didn't like me.
Come on. I'm sure that's not true
[on the phone with Frank] I just don't like her.
Why, baby? What happened??
Everything I said came out wrong. It was like an out-of-body experience. I wanted to yell at myself, "stop talking!"
[chuckles] You were just nervous, that's all. My mom will understand.
I don't understand. Why the rush? They hardly know each other. And they're so young! They're practically babies!
[tries to reassure her] Dee, they are hardly babies! They've been to war, seen combat.
You'd think after living in war zone I'd be able to face anything, but no! Apparently mothers-in-law scare the crap out of me.
It's me Whit. Remember? Your Mama's friend?
Woah, woah, woah. What did you just say?
Do not sass me. This is Whit. He's my friend.
Like the friends you used to have before Dad?
[angrily] No! If Dad was here he would kick his ass and you know it!
[points to his room] TJ, get in your room right now and do not come out until I tell you different! You hear me?!
Nothing happened. We talked, we had a few beers.
[wistfully] I just wish Trevor were home.
Yeah, that would make things easier, wouldn't it?
Whit was never marriage material. We were just friends.
