Quotes 

• Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence : Today, I meet the real boss, Big Al.

  Kate Lawrence : Big Al?

  Doug Lawrence : Who's the other one? Nathan Detriot?

  Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence : Not funny. See y'all later.

  Kate Lawrence : Do you have your retainer?

  Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence : [leaving]  Yeah.

  Kate Lawrence : [to Doug]  I thought it was funny. Anything interesting?

  Doug Lawrence : [Going through the mail]  If all the junk mail we got could be turned back into trees, we'd have a forest primeval in the backyard!

• Nancy Lawrence Maitland : [closing the door]  When I was 12, closed doors meant business.

  Kate Lawrence : I saw Jeff leaving this morning. What's going on?

  Nancy Lawrence Maitland : Mother, he plays me like a poker hand from a stacked deck! I think I really hate him.

  Kate Lawrence : Hate him? Oh, Nancy, hate is such a tricky emotion. It's almost never what it seems.
