Quote from Carla in I Kid You Not
Ludlow: Mom, Mom! The opera was so great! All the singing, and costumes. This was the best day of my life!
Carla: Oh, that's terrific, Lud. I never seen him so excited. Thanks, guys.
Lilith: Oh, Carla, it was our pleasure. He's an extraordinary child.
Frasier: Yes, we had an extensive discussion on the way back about opera, the arts, film...
Lilith: Oh, Carla, may we take Lud to the movies tonight? There's a revival of Koyaanisqatsi we'd love him to see, and then we were thinking he could sleep over, we could have brunch and a matinee of Peter and the Wolf.
Carla: Gee, I don't know. He's never stayed away from home before. He's only six.
Ludlow: Please, Mommy? Please?
Carla: Oh, heck, you really want to go that bad, huh? Go, go, go ahead. Have a good time. Stay as long as you want. I'll see you when you get back.
Frasier: Thank you, Carla. We'll take good care of him, don't worry. [all exit]
Carla: Well, that's that. I lost my baby.

‘I Kid You Not’ Quotes
Quote from Cliff
Cliff: Carla's got herself a real Poindexter there, huh? Yeah. It's sad to say that kids not accepted by their peers really never learn how to get along with people in the big grown-up world.
Norm: Why is that, Cliff? 'Cause they keep boring everyone and driving them crazy with long speeches filled with meaningless statistics?
Cliff: Yep, yeah. 63% of them live lives of quiet desperation.
Norm: And how about those who sit next to them?
Quote from Carla
Lilith: So, Carla, tell, tell. Have you bedded any other Rhodes scholars?
Carla: Uh... no. But one egghead, long-distance, phone-in father is enough for this baby factory.
Frasier: In spite of the fact that Dr. Ludlow's work takes him out of the country, I'm sure he's a marvelous parent.
Carla: No, a good parent is someone who's there. Who's there to help them out with their homework. There when they wake up in the middle of the night crying their eyes out. He's there with the bottle of Bactine when they give themselves a bad tattoo. Well, I've been there. I raised eight kids on a waitress's salary, and I want you to know they're all good kids, and not one of them has had a conviction that stood up on appeal.
Quote from Carla
Norm: Carla, look, I know you love your kids and everything... I mean, like your kids. I mean, I know you have kids... But I have never seen you this concerned before.
Carla: Well, Lud's special.
Norm: Yeah?
Carla: Yeah. I mean, whenever I come home at night, he always brings me a pan of hot water for my feet. He actually asks me how my day went. I don't know if I ever told anybody this before... I love him.
Norm: You don't have to be shy about saying that you love your kids.
Carla: Oh, why don't you just take out an ad in the Yellow Pages?
