- Jim Green: Have a great day!
- Cindy Green: That's too much pressure...
- Jim Green: Have the day you have!
- Cindy Green: I had made a mistake.
- Jim Green: We made lots of mistakes.
- Cindy Green: Yeah, we made mistakes trying to fix our mistakes.
- Jim Green: Isn't that how you know you're a parent?
- [Cindy laughs]
- Evette Onat: You seem to forget what the object is here. You need to persuade us. Tell me, what would you do differently.
- Cindy Green: We'd make better mistakes? Different.New.
- Jim Green: [Explains] Not the same. New mistakes.
- Cindy Green: That's... That's what we'd do.
- Cindy Green: We didn't know what he was doing with the girl. It was fine if he wanted to have a secret, as long as he shared it with us.
- Brenda Best: You know what I feel really good about? Bart and I are just grateful that our kids' school has a gifted and talented program.
- Cindy Green: Did you know Timothy is gifted?
- Brenda Best: How so?
- Cindy Green: Well... He always finds the bright side. He never gives up and he has a good heart.
- Brenda Best: That will get you into college.
- Jim Green: [retelling their Halloween courtship story] I had seen a lot of pencils, but I had never seen one quite like your mom. Breathtaking. But I was too scared to even talk to her, so I wrote her a note. Yeah...
- Timothy Green: What did it say?
- Cindy Green: It said, "It feels to me that with a pencil anything is possible."
- Timothy Green: That is so true.
- Jim Green: I am not the only bad parent in this house!
- Cindy Green: Look, it's not a competition to see who can be the worst parent!
- Jim Green: No, I am saying we're both terrible at this! We are! We don't know anything!
- Cindy Green: [to Jim frantically about Timothy's friendship with Joni] This is too soon. He's too young. You told him to run the other way when he saw her, and he... He's not running!
