Seth : Yeah, it's too bad you're leaving. We never eat like this.
Kirsten : That's not true. I cook all the time.
Seth : [scoffs] Dad...
Sandy : I'm sorry, honey.
[starts laughing]
Kirsten : Let's just eat.
Sandy : We're not saying we want you to cook more.
Seth : Oh...
[blows raspberry]
Seth : Hell, no. You remember the meat loaf incident of '98?
Kirsten : That was brisket.
Seth : Yeah, that's my point exactly.
-
Sandy : What are you going to do? Steal a car? Burn down a house? Punch out the captain of the water polo team? Those ships have sailed, my friend.

[everyone stares at him]
Seth : I'm sorry if I'm the only one here that will state the obvious...
Kirsten : Seth.
Seth : - But we have all this extra room, right? We have a pool house. Yet, you guys are going to ship him off to a group home. Am I the only one who gets how much that sucks?
-
Seth : [Graduation is that day] When they announce my name, uh, could you *not* do that cheer you did for me when I won Capture the Flag at parents' weekend?
Sandy : W-which cheer was that? Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Check out my boy Cohen! Can you believe how he's growin? The competition away he's blowin!
Seth : That's the one. Please don't do that. Ever.
[They smile and laugh]

Sandy : We can't give in to threats like that, we don't negotiate with the Newpsies!
-
Kirsten : [frowns] Why is that ninja smoking a cigarette?
Sandy : Honey honey, I don't actually think that's a ninja, ninjas usually wear capes, right?
Kirsten : oooh so a ninja is like a super hero
Seth : [had enough] mom, dad, you two enjoy
[gets up]
Seth : Ryan
[steps over Sandy's legs]
Seth : give me five minutes
Sandy : Where you goin?
[Ryan smiles]

Ryan : Nice work
[Kirsten smiles, pleased]
Sandy : Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child

-
Caleb Nichol : I've come to ask a favor.
Sandy : I'm sorry, what did you say?
Caleb Nichol : You didn't hear me?
Sandy : No, I heard you, I... I just want to make you say it again.

Sandy : [about his mother talking about him] If you're happy, you're not working hard enough.
-
Sandy : I promise you, I'd rather send you to jail than get in bed with your father.
-
Sandy : Just because you're leaving doesn't mean I'm letting you go.
-
Caleb Nichol : What the hell is that?
Sandy : It's my mother's meat loaf.
Caleb Nichol : [looks around] Oh God, your mother's here?
Sandy : Her recipe is. I'm trying out a chef. You want some?
Caleb Nichol : Actually, I think the sight of your mother's meat loaf has turned me into a vegetarian.
-
Sandy : Why don't we give up? Oh, give up with me, honey! We could let the Gruesome Twosome destroy our careers, or we could sit here, enjoy obscene amounts of Dr. Phil, and destroy them ourselves.
-
Rebecca Bloom : It's kind of hard to meet people when you can't let anybody know who you really are and can't stay in one place too long.
Sandy : I can see how that might "salt your game".
Rebecca Bloom : "Salt your game". Is that how they talk in Orange county?
Sandy : Stick around. You'll be saying "Rad" in no time.
-
Sandy : Well, you've been tryin'a get him to come to Thanksgiving for years.
Kirsten : The only reason why he is here is because his food didn't show up and the game is on.
[drinks]
Sandy : You know, you might wanna slow down with that. You're drinkin on an empty stomach.
Kirsten : Don't you tell me to slow down. Tell him to hit the bricks!
Sandy : Hit the bricks? Who talks like that?
Kirsten : Don't you judge me. I have a family that won't let me cook for Thanksgiving dinner, I have a father who is using me for my candied yams, and we are out of Merlot!
Anna : Do you want some... privacy?
Sandy : Oh...
