Cameron: And once you plant your mom here, we're never gonna leave.

Quote from Haley
Haley: Oh, my God, it's Lulu! She was my favorite toy. [chuckles] Mm. [voice breaking] I guess I... I just really miss Nana.
[aside to camera:]
Haley: Also I'm pregnant. Dylan and I haven't told anyone because I'm still trying to get my head around it, but holding Lulu made it so real. I'm gonna have an actual baby. Aah, I'm so stressed! [chuckles] I wish it was the '50s when it was still healthy to drink and smoke when you're pregnant.
Quote from Cameron
Mitchell: I guess w-when I look at things from your point of view, I... I made a promise. When your dad needs you to take over the farm, I'm in.
Cameron: Mitchell, that means so much to me, and you're gonna love it. The fresh air, and there's no traffic. Oh, and with a second lawyer in town, we could reopen the courthouse.

One ran up my sleeve one time when I was a kid.
