Sarah Reeves quotes from Party of Five

Sarah

What else?

Bailey

What else?

Sarah

Yeah, what else do you want to yell at me about. Because if this helps you to be angry and scream about how unfair this all is... how helpless you feel, how helpless you are, well then that's what you need to do. Go ahead, I can take it.

Sarah

Must be the nutmeg.

Will

I love nutmeg.

Sarah

Or maybe it's the vanilla.

Will

I love vanilla.

Bailey

I'm thinking it's the rum.

Sarah

I didn't put any rum in this.

Bailey

No, but those guys did.

Will

Love those guys.

Sarah

Wow, I just don't get men, like, at all.

Yeah? Welcome to the club.

Bailey

Are you finding this really sad?

Sarah

You mean Charlie's acting?

Bailey

It's like we jumped into bed so we wouldn't have to talk, you know?

Sarah

I'll take your word for it.

Sarah

Dad I really need you guys to be together.

Sarah, I wish you could hear how selfish you sound right now. We've all lost. I lost you, I lost what I thought was a good marriage. Your mother lost something too. None of us has a family anymore. You want this to e all about you. Honey, people change and people grow. You grow too, okay?

Sarah

You take a snapshot of your life the last time you leave someplace, and, I don't know, it's dumb, but you think it's never gonna change.

Bailey

You figured you could go back any night at eleven and they'd be watching Nightline.

Sarah

Yeah, you get this.

Bailey

I've got snapshots too, with parents in them.

Bailey

Thank God that isn't Owen.

Sarah

It's somebody's Owen, right?

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?

Claudia

Men, forget it - their species cannot be trusted.

Sarah

Oh, come on, girlfriend, sit down. We gotta talk.

Claudia

The entire ice-hockey team is crashing my party tonight.

Sarah

And that would be a bad thing?

Claudia

Sarah, they're like these cool guys with actual shoulders. These men on skates with sticks that they whack at eachother when they're not, like, throwing each other into walls.

Claudia

It must be hard to be mom. All those things you have to remember to tell your kids. Stuff that's hard to talk about, and they don't listen.

Sarah

You're welcome.

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.
