Quotes 

• Piper : You know, I didn't want to give up my baby. I was forced to. What would you do if Julia was taken away from you? Wouldn't you think about it every day for the rest of your life?

  Noah : Yeah, of course.

  Piper : Then why is it any different for me? I mean, why is my love for my child just a whim while yours is real? Of course, you have your child so you can afford to be judgmental. All I have is the ghost of two Julias. I loved them both, and I lost them both.

• Noah : Ok, so here's the deal; Julia and I took a vote and there's a definite opening in the family. Job is yours if you want it.

  Piper : Really?

  Noah : Yeah. Only one ground rule; nothing but honesty from now on.

  Piper : I swear.

  [Noah smiles. They start walking] 

  Piper : Noah?

  Noah : Yeah?

  Piper : That shirt's a really nasty color.

  Noah : Okay, not *that* honest!

  Piper : Hey, I'm just trying to get started somewhere!

• Noah : That doesn't look like math to me.

  Julia : Done.

  Noah : Spelling?

  Julia : Done.

  Noah : Well, I have to check it.

  Piper : Done.

• Noah : Poor Julia has to walk home with Bradley. And then she's forced to stay with him for 45 whole minutes, until I get there.

  Piper : You are a terrible father.

  Noah : I gotta give her something to tell the therapist in 10 years.

  Julia : Bradley picks his nose in class, and makes these fart noises in his arm pits.

  Noah : Testosterone poisoning, actually. He can't help it.

• Noah : [Kisses a sleeping Julia and draws a heart on her hand]  That's how she knows that I'm home, and that she's been kissed.

• Julia : Anna, please! Dad won't take me on any spinny rides!

  Noah : That's cuz Daddy doesn't *do* spinning rides. Because spinning rides remind Daddy of how I used to feel after Frat parties, just dizzy and sick.

• Julia : [erasing]  That sucky thing's not right.

  Piper : That "sucky" thing?

  Julia : That's what my dad calls it.

  Noah : [looking in]  What your dad calls what?

  Julia : This.

  Noah : What, the sucky thing?

  Piper : Otherwise known as a turkey baster.

  Noah : Well, yeah, if you want to use it's nickname. But everybody knows the real name is of course

  Julia , Noah : [in unison]  ... the sucky thing.

• Piper : [about her drawing of Julia]  You want it?

  Noah : No, not really.

  [Starts to walk away. Piper looks offended, but he comes back] 

  Noah : I'm kidding! I'm kidding, I'd love it, if you don't mind parting with it, of course.
