 * Cate: Alright, you guys. Look, I'll have my cell phone if there's any problems. Like if there's a fire and your dad won't get up. If a pipe bursts and your dad won't get up. Or locusts....
 * Paul: Locusts? I would get up for locusts.


 * Cate (to Paul): I just got here. I forgot to pick up my allergy medicine. Do you think you can drop by the pharmacy?

 * Kerry: Could you take the fashion show outside? Those of us who can are trying to read.


 * Paul: It was a very challenging day, Cate and I must say, I rose to the challenge. I think I should be inducted to the Father Hall of Fame.
