Buddy Lawrence
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Do you think Daddy's ashamed of me? He thinks I'm stupid.
- Willie Lawrence: Uh,Uh. He knows you're stupid. Anybody who'd leave the table before they've had their dessert has got to be stupid!
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Is Timmy gonna live here, too?
- Kate Lawrence: What do you mean, live here, too?
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Well, Nancy's gonna be living here, too, is she? She's run away from Jeff, hasn't she?
- Kate Lawrence: Nancy's gonna spend a few nights here. She hasn't run away from anyone.
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: [sarcastic] Hmph.
- Doug Lawrence: [irritably] Letitia, you are making my palm positively itch.
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Well, I don't appreciate being treated like I'm stupid.
- Kate Lawrence: It's "as if I were stupid", not "like I'm stupid".
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Big deal.
- Doug Lawrence: Behaving rudely is VERY stupid!
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Well, EXCUSE me!
- [she storms away from the dinner table]
- Kate Lawrence: Willie, would you like some more pie?
- Willie Lawrence: Yeah, I'll eat Buddy's.
- [he continues eating the pie as Kate and Doug sit in despair, thinking they failed as parents]
