Michael: "The daddy was mad at the mommy." "The mommy was mad at the daddy." [Frank laughs] "The mommy and daddy were very mad at the grandpa." [Frank's smile drops] "The grandma got mad at everybody."
Marie: I did not! [to the other parents] It's wonderful.
Michael: "The grownups were always very loud. It hurt the kids' ears." The end.

Frank: And I don't look like that.
Marie: What?
Frank: The kid's illustrations. People are gonna think I look like that.
Debra: Okay, everyone, could we all please just go home?
Ray: Debra's right. We gotta talk to Michael.
Frank: You gonna punish him? I want input.

Debra: We have problems.
Ray: It's all right. All right?
Debra: No, it is not all right. This argument just now is exactly what Michael was referring to.
Ray: Well, you don't gotta worry about this one, because that was Geoffrey.

Ray: [answers phone] Oh... hi, Eileen. Yeah, hi. How are ya? Yeah. Oh, no, that was a great open house, yeah. Dynamite. What conference? Oh! Oh. That's this week, too. Yeah, right. With the parents. Uh-huh. Yeah. I guess
we must've forgot about it. Wasn't like we were trying to run out or anything. 'Cause, uh, we wanna talk to you. We love you. All right, okay. Yeah, sure, we'll see you tomorrow. Okay. Bye-bye. [hangs up] Listen, about tomorrow, I got a pretty big day, so...
Debra: You don't want to finish that.
Ray: All right. Okay.
Debra: And did you have to sound so guilty on the phone?
Ray: How about you? You ran away like a little girl. [When Debra comes towards him, Ray runs off]

Father Hubley: Where are you in here, Robert?
Robert: Exactly.

Father Hubley: All right, now, all right, there's no need for tension. We all have enough tension. Believe me, this job pounds the life out of you. Eileen, maybe you'd like to start with...
Eileen: No, thank you.
Frank: What?
Debra: Listen, Eileen, again, I am so sorry about getting a little testy with you yesterday. That's really not like me.
Father Hubley: Yeah, yeah, fine, fine.

Father Hubley: Adam. Adam is the school's counselor, and we thought we'd like to have this little talk today
to see if maybe we can help you people. Okay? Go on, Adam.
Adam: Sure. Hi, everyone. I'm Adam Burke, and I am the school's counselor, but I like to think of myself more as a facilitator.
Frank: Oh, Jeez.

Debra: Ray, you know what? I don't think people need to hear my side of things again. Maybe you could say something objective.
Ray: Okay. Uh, all I know is... Debra's good. She's really, really good. You know, she's got a lot of stuff to do, and...
that's why... if she's all... that's why.

Debra: Hey, listen, Michael, we really loved your story you wrote, and we learned a lot from it.
Michael: I like that cartoon.
Debra: What cartoon?
Michael: Monster Maniacs. They're really funny. They're always yelling.
