Quote from Arrested

Dede: Oh, my God.
Gloria: What is she doing here?

Gloria: Her brain. It snapped.
Dede: Oh! You're going to be a father again at your age. And here you were thinking you would just sail off into the sunset with your beautiful young wife, not a care in the world. This is fantastic! I think my uterus just fixed itself.

Quote from Arrested

Gloria: Well, it's easier to talk to her when she's not choking me.

Jay: [to Stella] Don't listen to them. You're beautiful.

Quote from Crazy Train

Mitchell: Hey, Mom! Hi!
Claire: Hi, Mom!
Dede: [on video chat] Well, hello, original family.
Jay: Dede, we have something we have to tell you. Now, I know there's a delicate way to say this. Just can't think of it. Your fiancee's a pyro. He burnt down his ex-wife's house.
Dede: It's just like you three to try to ruin my big day.
Claire: Mom, we just thought you should know.
Dede: Jerry told me everything. Trust me. She had it coming. The woman's "cah-razy."
Jay: So, you're okay he's a firebug?
Dede: He's passionate, Jay. He knows how to express his feelings, unlike you. Maybe if you had burned our house down, we'd still be together.
Jay: My mistake. You're right, Dede.

Quote from Crazy Train

Dede: [on video chat] Claire, you're not mad at me about your seating arrangements?
