- Richard Carpenter: Hey give me the pizza.
- Karen Carpenter: No it's my pizza.
- Richard Carpenter: Come on.
- Karen Carpenter: Richard, I...
- Richard Carpenter: She said I'm in charge!
- Karen Carpenter: Yeah, but not of this. Give me it back.
- Richard Carpenter: Come on. I'm doing you a favor. In 10 or 20 years Mom and Dad are going to let you date and I don't want you to get fat.
- Agnes Carpenter: Karen, you're not eating. You look too thin, if you ask me.
- Karen Carpenter: Mother, how can anybody be too thin?
- Agnes Carpenter: [trying to discourage Karen from learning the drums] How many famous women drummers do you know?
- Karen Carpenter: So I'll be the first!
- Agnes Carpenter: Here, take one of these.
- Richard Carpenter: What is it?
- Agnes Carpenter: Something called Quaaludes, to help you sleep.
