Party of Five quotes

A word to Charlie Salinger, who according to the program is making his stage debut -- if you have a day job, sir, I beg you not to quit it. And if you don't have one, please get one immediately.

Julia

[to Charlie, about Daphne] That's who you're going to for career advice? Someone whose main source of income is taking their clothes off?

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.

Griffin

[to Julia] I'm such a sap... You say you wanna be with me and I start doing cartwheels down the beach.

Charlie

You have an unusual occupation, Daphne. They are curious.

Daphne

Like people are curious about mad cow disease... I want you to let them know that I have other incredible qualities besides being able to unsnap my bra with my teeth.

[trying to figure out why Bailey asked Annie to marry him] Was it because you knew, all of a sudden, that you couldn't live without her? Was that it? Did you wake up one day and realize that the biggest mistake of your life was letting her go? Did you just realize that you would give up everything you have... everything, just for a shot at getting her back? Because if that's what it is, then I apologize. If you love her that much, then I'm way off base. I just hope that you really want this. Because if you don't, if you don't love her that much, then what you're doing here, you're trying to take away a wife and a daughter from someone who does.

Annie

[to Bailey] And all I do it just run it over and over: Natalie and Jay and you, and the drinking and Oakland, and you. And there's all these reasons on one side, and on the other side, there's just you.

Griffin

[to Julia] This is real life. Having to make hard decisions, and compromising what each other wants, and trying not hurt each other. That's what our whole life together's been about. It doesn't mean that we don't love each other, it just means that maybe we shouldn't live with each other. It's this weekend, I saw that you were so happy. I was thinking, what is it that I can give you that would make you that happy in real life. And the one thing I could think of was to let you go off and be on your own. I could give you that.

Sarah

[to Bailey] It's no big deal. I mean it's what it was always, pretty much. I love you. That's all.

Charlie

[to Kirsten] I want you to love him.... 'Cause I know how incredible that feels to have you in my life, and I want him to have that too.

Julia

I keep noticing that my ring is gone... see, there's a line where it used to be.

Griffin

Just wait, it'll go away.

Daphne

Do you know why I said yes to you Charlie when you asked me to have this baby? It was you. It was this look in your eyes. It was how badly you wanted it and how badly I wanted to give it to you.

I think it's time you got yourself a grown-up doctor. A regular GP, someone who deals more with the issues a man your age can face.

Bailey

My age? But what if I don't wanna? What if I like you, Dr. Bob?

Have a lolly.

Griffin

[to Julia] Don't get too smart. I barely know what you're saying already.

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?
