Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Dad, what did you do to my paper?!
Johnny: I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything with your paper. Your laptop was open, I did a little editing, nothing major.
Alexis: I've been accused of plagiarism.
Johnny: What?
Alexis: Yeah. Jocelyn thought I cheated because "someone" used words like duplexity, and backtowards!
Johnny: Untoward.
Alexis: Whatever!

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: And you know why, honey? Because you're better "than" that.
Alexis: Thank you.
Johnny: N-No, you're better "than" that.
Alexis: Okay, I'm better then that.
Johnny: Not better then that, better than that.
Alexis: Okay, I don't know what you're talking about right now!
Johnny: All right, well if you don't want my help, "than" I guess I'll leave.
Alexis: Okay, thank you!
Johnny: Okay, I'll see you later "than."
Alexis: Bye! Ugh!

Quote from Jocelyn

Jocelyn: Okay, there are just parts of this that make me think that's not true. For example, "We should begin by scrutinizing the duplicitousness of such businesses, whose practices, or lack thereof, can only be described as untoward." Duplicitousness?! I can barely say that. And untoward?
Alexis: Okay, yeah, no, I did not write this. Can I see?

Quote from David

David: [on the phone] Hi David, it's Patrick. I, um, was just calling to run my business plan, uh, by you in a little more detail. So feel free to give me a call back, and I will be happy to walk you through it. Okay, ciao. [hangs up] Ciao! I said ciao to that person. [calls] Hi Patrick, Yeah, I think I- I think I called you David. Which that's not- That's not your name. You can just delete that text, the-the voice-mail that I left you. Um, just thought it might be a good idea to give you some background information about the- the store. It's basically a general store. Um, that will support local artists under the brand of the store, which-which would also be my brand-oh. [phone dings] Sorry, I just got a text. Oh God! Yeah, the text cut us off.

Quote from Patrick

Patrick: You know, the good thing about the messages was that I was able to get enough information to fill out your forms.
David: Oh. I wish I could remember.
Patrick: It's a good idea, your business. Re-branding local products and crafts, it's very inventive.
David: Thanks.
Patrick: And I like the name. "Rose Apothecary," you know, it's just pretentious enough.
David: Would we call that pretentious, or... timeless?
Patrick: So I'll call you when I hear something. And hey, if I don't get a hold of you, I'll just uh, leave a message.

Quote from Moira

David: Have you seen Dad's coasters?
Alexis: "Follow us on tweeters!" Tweeters!
Moira: We're going to get lots of disciples, dear.

Quote from Moira

Moira: Hi.
Motel Guest: The drinks out of this machine are very cold.
Moira: Oh, good.
Motel Guest: Too cold. When I hold them, they sting my hands.
Moira: We'll have to find you some mittens.

Quote from Moira

Stevie: It's just that we have um, a bunch of guests checking in, and I could really use some help. Now.
Moira: Now? Well, then, I am here for you, Stevie. Uh, let's see something in a supervisory capacity, perhaps?
Stevie: Then you can work the front desk.
Moira: Ooh, receptionist work is not my strong suit, that's more Alexis' bailiwick.
Stevie: The other option is changing the sheets, and mattress covers.
Moira: Then I shall keep watch over this front desk.

Quote from Alexis

Jocelyn: I'm assuming that you know why I wanna talk to you today?
Alexis: Is it because I was texting in class?
Jocelyn: Uh, nope. I wanna talk about your paper. There are parts of this that sound like they've been written by someone else.
Alexis: Oh, my God, thank you!
Jocelyn: No, no, no. I'm saying that I think it's plagiarized. Are you sure you wrote this yourself?
Alexis: Trust me, if I could've gotten someone else to write this, I would've. I definitely wrote this.

Quote from Patrick

Patrick: Patrick.
David: David.
Patrick: David Rose, you bought the General Store.
David: Leased. Leased the General Store.
Patrick: Yeah. That's a big deal.
David: Is it?
Patrick: Yeah, it's pretty big.
