Quotes:

Barbara: I can't call him because he's in a coma!::Julia Lindsey Snyder: A coma? Come on, Barbara. Come up with something a little more original. How about - oh, I know. How about a hole opened up, and James fell into the center of the earth?

[Aaron and Alison discuss their marriage]::Aaron: Alison, we've been through a fire in a barn. We've run from the cops. We've been in jail. Come on, compared to that, what's marriage? Gotta be a piece of cake.

Paul: That woman is unbelievable. She's awesome. She knows exactly what I want her to do, and she does it before I even ask her to do it.::Henry: I had a woman like that once. Once was all I could afford.

Aaron: Talking to Alison is like trying to nail Jello to a tree.

Aaron: Ali, listen, listen. Before we do anything crazy, just explain to me what this part means, okay? "Where fowl reigns supreme and lambs dare not roam and pigs in a blanket say take me home."::Alison: Okay, fowl - that's like chickens and roosters and stuff, right? Okay, and "tuck in but don't let sleeping dogs lie".::Aaron: Ali?::Alison: Shh, I'm about to be brilliant. I got it. The key. The key's is in the buns.::Aaron: Excuse me?::Alison: "Tucked in", get it? The way that you tuck a hotdog inside the bread? I need to buy your buns.

Henry Coleman: [Looking through the Hughes' refrigerator] Give it a few weeks. I've got to tell you something, I've got some irons in the fire. My ship is coming in. I can see a silver lining in that cloud that's been hanging over me for so long. I'm all out of clichés, baby. But I think you get my drift, don't you?::Maddie Coleman: Yes I do. But I don't think you understand the urgency of my plight.::Henry Coleman: A-ha! [pulls out a bottle and looks at the lable] Creme de menthe? Oh Lord, who are these people, mad?::Maddie Coleman: Please, please, please. I can not bear it any longer, okay. Okay, all right, I will let you - I give you permission to use a little of that money from B.J. Henry, we can share a place. You can use it and we can share a place.::Henry Coleman: That money - that money's off limits for now, okay?::Maddie Coleman: You're right. I shouldn't even mentioned - what was I thinking?::Henry Coleman: I don't know. Shame on you, shame on you. [takes a drink and spits it out] Oh God! What am I supposed to drink this or gargle with it?::Maddie Coleman: What am I supposed to do?::Henry Coleman: Why don't you try making up with Casey? What the hell? [takes another sip]::Maddie Coleman: I would rather stick my head in a lion's mouth. Are you still gonna drink that?::Henry Coleman: Yes! It's that bad, huh? Listen, for every problem there is a solution.::Maddie Coleman: You sound like my calculus teacher.

Gwen Norbeck: Judge Steve?::Will Munson #4: Dude, just tell us.::Judge Steve Colby: You may well hate my guts in ten years.::Gwen Norbeck: Why?::Judge Steve Colby: Because you'll be having your 10th wedding anniversary before you're 30.::Will Munson #4: Yes!::Judge Steve Colby: Or you'll be bitter and divorced a half-decade ahead of schedule. And don't send me a card if that's the last one.

Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Will you keep your pants on when you're alone with Maddie?::Casey Hughes #5: I can't believe you said that!::Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: All right, come on, it freaks me out, too.::Casey Hughes #5: You're my mom! I'm your impressionable teenage son! Geez!::Detective Margo Montgomery Hughes #3: Well, look, I finally got more than one word out of you.

Barbara: A shame to waste good vodka, Barbara.::Henry Coleman: Somehow I think it won't go to waste.

Emily Stewart: My entire life, honestly - men. My father, Tom, Paul - none of them ever wanted me.::Henry Coleman: There's still good ol' Hal...::Emily Stewart: Yeah, Hal - I came in second to a warm doughnut, Henry.
