- Lucy Whittaker: [on the phone with President Carter] How would you feel if somebody tore down Amy's tree house?
- Lucy Whittaker: We're practicing 'Hail to the Chief' so we can play it when President Carter gets here. How did it sound?
- Omar Whittaker: Like you voted for Ford.
- Floyd Whittaker: [returning from the grocery store with Lucy] I thought we'd never get out of that market. Everyone wanted to talk to you.
- Lucy Whittaker: Yeah, well, that's the price of fame. Now I know how Farrah Fawcett feels.
- Viv: Come see my cake. I'm so proud of it, Lucy.
- Lucy Whittaker: Oh, it's a work of art. It was so clever of you to make President Carter's teeth out of peanuts.
- Viv: [having just come from the beauty parlor] . The wife of every city councilman was there. The blue rinse flowed like wine.
