- Henry Warnimont: [to Richard] Why don't you and Julie join us?
- Betty Johnson: I'm cooking pot roast and I always make too much.
- Henry Warnimont: And I'm serving potatoes a la Warnimont.
- Betty Johnson: That's just a fancy name for potato buds.
- Richard Whitney: We really appreciate the invitation, but we just can't make it.
- Julie Whitney: Sure, we can, Daddy. I'm tired of TV dinner especially without TV.
- Julie Whitney: Every time I make new friends, we have to move and every time we move, I have to change my name. I've been Joan, and Jane, and Janet...
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: Listen, Julie...
- Julie Whitney: It's Jennifer.
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: [to Julie] Boy, your mom wants you with her, your dad wants you with him.
- Julie Whitney: Yeah, isn't it rotten?
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: I think it's wonderful.
- Julie Whitney: You do?
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: Yeah. See, Henry's my foster dad. I don't know where my real dad is.
- Julie Whitney: How come?
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: He walked out on my mom and me. Then my mom started acting real weird. She drove me to a shopping center and never came back.
- Julie Whitney: Why would she do that?
- Penelope 'Punky' Brewster: I don't know. And what really bothers me is I may never get the chance to ask her why.
- Richard Whitney: [to Julie] You didn't know this, but Mark and your mother were planing on moving to the West Coast. Do you know what that means? Gosh, it means I'd hardly ever get to see you again and I was so afraid. I was so afraid you'd forget me.
- Julie Whitney: That couldn't happen. You're my daddy and you always will be.
- Betty Johnson: [Looking at the picture of a cow face instead of the missing child photo on a milk carton] Shame on her, she does look like a cow.
