Bailey Salinger quotes from Party of Five

Bailey

Thank God that isn't Owen.

Sarah

It's somebody's Owen, right?

Do you think there's more cool stuff like Saturn that we could see?

Bailey

Well, yeah. There's all the other planets. There's Mars and Pluto and Goofy.

Goofy's not a planet. Goofy's a dog.

Bailey

I'm teasing you, pal.

I know. Bailey, when you find out about cool stuff, will you let me know, so we can see it together? It doesn't have to be just planets.

Bailey

I'm makin' a list already.

Sarah

I know you wanna show Owen a good time, but why can't you guys just go and do something that you know something about?

Bailey

Yeah, sure. Hey, O, you wanna go to a restaurant management seminar?

I wanna go camping.

Bailey

He wants to go camping. Even though it's winter, and it's cold, like it's gonna be wherever we go camping. And I know for a fact that the bears are gonna be hibernating and the fish are gonna be frozen into fish sticks in freezers where they belong.

Sarah

That's all I have right now.

Bailey

All you have? What's all you have?

Sarah

My belief, Bailey. My faith in other people, in second chances, you know -- for him, for me, for everybody. That's what I have that's gonna get me back to my old self again. That's what's gonna keep me from being afraid all the time, everywhere I go. Do you want me to lose that?

Charlie

Everything Griffin's been saying about Ned, and this whole-- Maggie says it's true. Ned used to hit her.

Bailey

You're kidding.

Charlie

I can't believe it either. I can't believe how stupid I've been.

Bailey

So, Griffin's been--

Charlie

Right. The guy's got a problem.

Bailey

You damn right, he's got a problem, so let's go. Let's go down there.

Charlie

My thought exactly.

Claudia

I'm coming too.

Charlie

No, you're not. No, stay here with Diana. Wait, wait, wait. Someone's gotta pick up Owen.

Bailey

Call Sarah, she'll do it.

Claudia

[about Ned] What are you guys gonna do?

Charlie

We're gonna talk to him.

Bailey

We're gonna kill the guy.

Julia

Who the hell do you think you are?

Charlie

Julia, please. Just get your stuff, we want to take you home.

Julia

I am not coming with you.

Bailey

Julia, pack your stuff, we'll talk about this at home.

Julia

This is my home.

Bailey

Julia, you can't lie to us about this anymore, okay? We know what's going on.

Julia

No, you don't. Like you said: I don't get a vote in your lives, you don't get a vote in mine.

Bailey

This is not about a vote, this is about keeping you safe. So just pack your stuff, and we'll talk about it later.

Julia

I don't want to talk about it later.

Charlie

Julia, please. Come on, come with us.

Julia

Ned and I are working this out, okay? He's getting help, he's seeing someone, I'm going to work this out, Charlie, I'm gonna make it work. Shocking, but true. I'm not quitting on him.

Charlie

That guy beats women! Alright? It's not your problem to work it out.

Julia

No, it is. Because he loves me.

Charlie

If he loved you, he wouldn't be hitting you.

Julia

No. No, he does love me.

You're asking a judge to take your little brother out of a sober hard-working home and place him with an alcoholic single with a record.

Bailey

Single? No, I have a girlfriend you lives with me.

Oh, make that an alcoholic shacking up with a young girl. The court will think you're a terrific role model for a five year old.

Bailey

You and Griffin?

Julia

If you have anything to say other than 'Wow, Jule, that's great,' I don't want to hear it.

Bailey

Wow, Jule, that's great.

Bailey

[about Kirsten] Do you love her?

Charlie

Of course I do.

Bailey

Is she having any doubts?

Charlie

No.

Bailey

Then how can it be too risky jumping into a relationship that you both want?

Charlie

I'm gonna need a best man, someone I totally trust.

Bailey

Best man. Charlie, don't do it, don't do that. I'll drive you nuts. We'll be at each other's throats.

Charlie

Bailey, listen to me, I know what I want, all right. I want the perfect wedding. I want to walk down that aisle and I want to know someone who cares, like, way too much made sure that there's not one doily out of place. Now, who else can give me that besides you?

Bailey

I understand why you're going.

Sarah

Bailey, you don't have to...

Bailey

But even if I didn't, you want this, and I would never stand in the way of something that you wanted, ever.

Sarah

You know what, why don't you come with me? The flight's not full.

Bailey

I can't. I can't, I've got Owen at home, and the restaurant. Anyway, you need to take this trip alone. I mean, that's part of the point, right? Say hello to your father for me.

Bailey

Hey, hey, no. Don't you be sad. You should smile. Smile. You show that to your father. If there's a heart in the man's chest, you will own it. Believe me.

Sarah

All right. It's only five days, and I will call you every minute till then.

Bailey

You find what you're looking for, Sarah. Whatever it takes, I'll be right here. I love you, you know that.

Sarah

I know it. I love you, too.

Bailey

Goodbye.

Griffin

Look, we were talking, and... We're thinking that...

Will

We changed our minds. We wanna keep going.

Griffin

Hit the Big Apple with you.

Will

Go the distance, all right?

Bailey

You guys know how far we still have to go? Through, like... Eight or nine more states. We've just been through three, and already... We've broken down... Fighting... We've had all these problems, and there's... That still leaves eight. Sarah is so far away. She's so far away.

Joe Mangus

Alright, so we got Charlie, Kirsten, Julia, Claude, Owen, Diana, you, me...

Bailey

Well, remember when it was Salinger party of five?
