Amy: (about Madison not getting invited to the baby shower) I'll call Adrian. I'm sure it was an oversight.
Madison: Really? It didn't have anything to do with all the stuff we said about Ben?
Lauren: Madison!
Madison: Well, we don't think he's pretentious. We don't care that he has a driver.
Lauren: Right. He's a great guy.
Madison: Yeah, and we don't care that he's taking you away from us, or that you love him more than you love us. We don't feel like you've tossed us away at all.
Amy: Madison, I didn't know you felt that way about Ben...until now.
Madison: My point is that we don't.
Anne (to Amy): It's okay. It's all gonna be okay.
Amy: No, it's not gonna be okay! I'm starving, and I'm kind of scared!
Anne: Yeah, I know. It's scary giving birth, but it's okay. I'm gonna be here. I'll be here the whole time. And think of it this way. The flip side of fear is excitement, so let's get excited. What are you gonna name him?
Amy: What am I gonna name the baby? I'm going to name the baby?
Anne: Well, yeah. Who else do you think's gonna name the baby?
Amy: I don't know. I'm a minor. I thought maybe you and Dad? I mean, I thought I'd suggest a few names, but really, a name is a serious thing. He's gonna be stuck with it his whole life, and now is not the time for me to be coming up with some name. I'm busy here. I can't think of anything other than that burger, and I just don't see how this is gonna work. I mean, how do we even know I have a birth canal? (Anne can hardly believe what she's just said) What? I don't know anything about anything, other than the French horn!
Doctor (to Amy): The thing is, we don't want to give you the epidural too soon.
Amy: Yeah. I'm worried about too late!
Doctor: I've done this before, you know. I bet I know just about the perfect time.
Amy: Yeah, well, I guess you do know better than me since I never went to that stupid, stupid class.
Doctor: Hey, that anger is good, useful energy, and it might speed things along. You feel free to let it go. I'll let your mom know it's gonna be a little while longer.
Amy: She's the one who didn't make me go to that class when I should have!
Doctor: Yeah. Just like that. Let it go.
Ashley: So, how's my little nephew? What's his name?
Amy: You know what? Why don't you name him? You're the one who talked me into keeping him. Go ahead, Ashley. You have the honor. And do it quickly before Mom and Dad get in here and want to help.
Ashley: I may have talked you into keeping him, but hey, you're the one who's really going to be keeping him, so...John.
Amy: I like John. Do we know a John? Why John?
Ashley: It goes with Juergens. John Juergens.
Amy: Yeah. It goes with Boykevich, as well.
Ashley: Yeah, go with John. He needs a nice, clean, simple name. That kid's life will be complicated enough.
George: (while waiting for Amy to give birth) If this were 50 years ago, I'd be in a nearby bar, having a drink and waiting for a phone call.
Ashley: If this was 50 years ago, Amy would be in a home, and we'd be saying she's at special music college in the Midwest.
George: Yeah. We would have made your mom wear a pillow for nine months. Then she would have given birth suddenly while we were on vacation in the Midwest. Oh, those were the good old days.
Ashley: Ah, yes. The Era of Shame. Too bad we missed that one, huh?
Anne: What are you doing?
Amy: What do you think? Heating up formula.
Anne: Oh, not that way. No, that will make it way too hot. Why don't you just run another bottle under the hot water faucet?
Amy: Do you want to do it?
Anne: No, you can do it. Oh, the doctor said the lactation nurse is gonna come by and see you later this afternoon. She said she's sorry she missed you at the hospital.
Amy: What's she gonna do to me?
Anne: She's gonna help you learn how to breast feed. (Amy is still holding the bottle) Come on. You should at least try.
Amy: Can't you do it for me?
Anne: I did do it for you. Now it's your turn. (smiles and hugs her) Oh, and David Johnson's gonna come by, because I didn't want to leave you to go to him.
Amy: Wait. The architect?
Anne: Mm-hmm.
Amy: You're working the day after the baby's born? Don't you think that's a little soon?
Anne: Amy, I don't get maternity leave, and I just got this job. Life goes on.
Amy: Life does go on. Life is going on right now in my room. (choking up) His name is John, and he doesn't care if his bottle goes in the microwave, and...I'm tired.
Anne: Okay, Amy. Why don't you go back to bed? I'll make this bottle.

If a person wanted to get birth control without their mother knowing they were getting birth control pills, how would a person do that?
And that person would be...you? You're how old?
AAshley
15. Same age as Amy when she got pregnant.
Oh, yeah. Well, then, you can get birth control pills at the free clinic without your mother knowing. But I suggest you ask your mother. I asked my mother. My mother took me to get birth control pills. In fact, I just changed birth control pills. With change, your body has to get used to it. And, you know, you have to be on the pill for at least a month before they... [something dawns on her] really get started. I hope that's why I'm late—that I changed pills. I mean, I always use condoms, too, but... [a bit more worried] condoms can break. I had a condom break just recently. Do you have a calendar?
[scared] When was the mother-daughter dance?
Amy (to Ricky): I think everyone's staring at us.
I think we should try for another baby, I want this forever Amy, our family.
I don't want to talk. I've had a bad morning. For the past 8 weeks, I've had a bad morning followed by a bad night. I can't talk anymore today, okay. Just leave me alone.
Adrian (about her stillborn daughter): She's just a baby, an innocent little baby. Who's taking care of her?
Adrian (to Betty): You're the first person who hasn't treated me like I'm going to break.
BBetty
Honey, you're already broken. What you went through, I mean, it shatters people and you just have to put all the pieces back together again.
Going back to the way things were, seems like, I don't know, like not honoring my little girl.
Look, John, Grandma's here. Why is Grandma here so early? I don't know!
A tough girl like me doesn't know how to be hurt.
