Johnny thinks Ted's mother, Cheryl, is hitting on him. Meanwhile, Moira joins Jocelyn as she auditions actors for a production of Cabaret, and David looks after Roland Jr.

Quote from Jocelyn

Jocelyn: What're you doing here?
Moira: Alas, I was sure there was a council-related symposium here this afternoon, but it appears the room has been set up in an audition configuration?
Jocelyn: I'm so glad I'm doing it right. Today is day one of auditions for "Cabaret".
Moira: "Cabaret!"
Jocelyn: Yeah, I actually wanted to do "Cats", but everybody said that it was too political, so.

Quote from Moira

Moira: I'm not sure you're aware of this Jocelyn, but "Cabaret" is the very show that launched my career.
Jocelyn: Right!
Moira: Mmm-hmm.
Jocelyn: 1979, you had a Reuben.
Moira: No, but never mind.

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: My face was touched. She was doing this. She called me handsome!
Alexis: Okay, Cheryl is in a happy marriage. She just happens to be very like, warm, and affectionate.
Johnny: Her hand was warm and affectionate.

Quote from Stevie

Stevie: Psh! Shh! Wait! Do you hear that?
Johnny: What?
Stevie: It's like a faint whisper of desire.
Alexis: That was a good one.
Stevie: Thanks! [Alexis tries to high five Stevie] Oh boy. Don't do that.

Quote from Moira

Jocelyn: Wow, Bob. Who knew you were a man of so many talents? Well, I don't need to see any more. Bob-
Moira: Ahem!
Jocelyn: Moira, is there anything you'd like to add to Bob's audition?
Moira: I'm just marinating in memories.

Quote from Moira

Jocelyn: Okay well, we start rehearsals-
Moira: But while I marinate, it might be worth observing your giving Bob a slight redirection. If that's all right?
Bob: Oh, I've cleared my afternoon for this.
Jocelyn: Okay, uh well, try it um, angrier? You know, like, grr, put your hands on your hips.
Bob: Like this?
Moira: Oh dear.

Quote from Moira

Jocelyn: Well, it seems to me, that it would be helpful to both of us if you would just join us here at the table.
Moira: Well, there's a note I'm incapable of rebuffing. You heard the director. Thank you.
Bob: Do you want me to sing "Ave Maria" again?
Moira: If you must, but I think what Jocelyn is looking for here is a foreboding vibration of pre-war Berlin, easy on the accent.
Bob: Roger that, yeah. [laughs, runs up, puts his hands on his hip]

Quote from David

Tina: It must be so helpful to have your own little product tester here in the store with you.
David: You know what? Why don't you take this home with you, try it out on your little one.
Tina: You know, I'm actually throwing a baby shower next week, uh, but I mean, that's probably not enough notice for you.
David: I threw a baby shower for my dear friend, Jocelyn, within a day, I'm pretty sure I can get supplies by next week.
Tina: You two might be my new favourite vendors. Do you think that maybe he could um, show me around?
David: Yeah. You want, you wanna show her around, little tyke?
Tina: Show me around.

Quote from Alexis

Ted: Mom, I really wish I'd have known about this trip a little bit sooner, I wouldn't have asked Alexis to help me out at the clinic today, and she could've kept you company.
Alexis: Mmm-hmm, I also wish you hadn't asked me to help out at the clinic today.

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: So Ted, your mom is currently unattached?
Ted: Yeah, yeah, but she's in a much better place these days. She's got like, a whole new lease on life. She told me that she's just going after whatever she wants, no holds barred!
Johnny: Oh, well hopefully, some holds barred.
Cheryl: Johnny? I'm ready to go.
Alexis: Um, Dad, if you do have too much work this afternoon...
Johnny: Well, we're in it now, Alexis.
