Quotes 

• Rob Petrie : Oh, Janey, this is our son, Ritchie.

  Jane Leighton : Oh, he is darling.

  Jane Leighton : [to Ritchie]  Hi. You know, I hope someday I have a boy JUST like you.

  Ritchie Petrie : And I hope I have a GIRL just like you.

• Rob Petrie : You know, you sound exactly like one of those wives in a situation comedy.

  Laura Petrie : I'm sorry, Rob. You're right. It... I don't think that you are interested in her. I'm sure you're not. I trust you. I realize that a handsome man like yourself is bound to attract a certain number of coquettish women, and I want you to know I understand this. And if Miss Leighton feels it's necessary to attempt a flirtation with you, I'm not going to be one of those screaming, nagging wives. I'll merely go up to her and quietly kill her. Dinner is ready.

  Rob Petrie : Honey, come here.

  [He hugs her but Laura stands rigidly] 

  Laura Petrie : My vegetables are burning!

• [Out of nervousness, Rob grinds pepper into one of the cooking pots] 

  Laura Petrie : I was right. Little Janey IS a homewrecker.

  Rob Petrie : What? A homewrecker? Why... Honey, what did she do?

  Laura Petrie : [pouring out the cooking pot contents]  Well, she started by ruining our chocolate pudding.

• Sally Rogers : You mean she doesn't mind you spending your evenings...

  Sally Rogers : [coughs]  ... coaching.

  Rob Petrie : Laura mind?

  Rob Petrie : [chuckles]  I'm lucky if she'll talk to me.

• Rob Petrie : Now, come on, Honey. You know very well that Jane doesn't mean anything to me. I knew her in high school; I never could find anything about her that attracted or interested me.

  Laura Petrie : [sarcastic]  Aww. Well, maybe if you spend a little time with her and look hard enough, you'll find something.

  Rob Petrie : Laura, she is an OLD FRIEND.

  Laura Petrie : She carries her age beautifully.

• Rob Petrie : [as he heads out to meet Jane]  Honey, what will YOU do this evening?

  Laura Petrie : Oh, slam doors, mumble, throw things. I'll keep busy. Good night, Mr. Ziegfeld!
