Quotes
-
Ross Harper : I saw a lot of cars in front of Mr. Sanderson's house. What's going on?
Kate Harper : It's very sad news. Mr. Sanderson died.
Brian Harper : He was getting on in years. Still, it's always a shame.
Ross Harper : I'll bet. It must be unsettling when someone in your generation passes on.
Brian Harper : He was 87.
-
Kate Harper : We will all miss Mr. Sanderson.
Ross Harper : Oh, I'll miss him. All those days after school I'd cut across his lawn, he'd see me, smile, blast me with his fire hose.
Kate Harper : You remember how he used to dress up for the children at Halloween?
Ross Harper : Yeah, in a ball gown.
Brian Harper : Heard he was buried in it.
-
Brian Harper : Okay, we need to put the dollhouse away. It's almost nap time.
Molly : But we're having fun! We're playing family and I'm the mommy!
Trevor : And I'm the daddy!
Blake : And I'm the Roto-Rooter man!
Brian Harper : We DEFINITELY need to put the dollhouse away!

Kristin Carlson : I can't stay with Emily. My roommate has been in a terrible weaving accident!
Brian Harper : Weaving accident?
Kristin Carlson : Oh, her hair got caught in a loom. Now I have to take her and the loom to the trauma center.
Kate Harper : Well, you better go right now. I hope your roommate's alright.
Kristin Carlson : Oh, I do too. This isn't the first time it's happened. I have told her so many times, "Don't drink and weave!"
-
Kate Harper : Ross, Kristin just had an emergency and she can't babysit for us tonight. We're just about to go to our dinner.
Ross Harper : Mom, Stiv and I have tickets to a concert. 10,000 Maniacs.
Brian Harper : Well, they'll just have to make due with 9,999 maniacs.

[Eileen babysits Emily]
Brian Harper : If she should cry...
Eileen Swift : Oh Brian, I am not a complete doofus! I know what to do when a girl cries.
Kate Harper : How would you know?
Eileen Swift : I make my secretary cry five times a day! And when she does, I just buy her a new blouse, tell her she's lost weight and she's as good as new.
-
Eileen Swift : Oh you guys, I feel like such a jerk. I mean, ever since I bought that house, I haven't been myself. You know, I've been short-tempered and self-centered and abusive and deceptive and... Actually, I have been myself, but I feel bad about it.
Brian Harper : Eileen, what's the big deal? I mean, you saw a funeral, you got excited, you took advantage of grieving relatives and you renamed our baby. This sort of thing happens all the time.
Eileen Swift : Yeah, I guess you're right. You know, I'm always my worst critic!
Kate Harper : No, you're not.
-
Eileen Swift : Buying a house is a big step for me. I mean, people like me don't have houses. Grownups have houses! Ozzie and Harriet, Ward and June, Batman and Robin!
Brian Harper : Technically, I believe they had a cave.
