## Quotes

**Andi**: Okay, so get this. The kids brushed their teeth and went straight to bed. I think somebody replaced them with pod people.
**Andi**: I mean, I'm gonna miss 'em, but I am not complaining.
**Adam**: You're welcome.
**Andi**: Oh, you're taking credit for this?
**Adam**: Yes, I am. Because after school today, your kids were out of control. Our living room was like the first 15 minutes of *Saving Private Ryan*.
**Andi**: Okay, so they're my kids when they do something wrong?
**Adam**: Yeah, or when they're in a school play.
**Andi**: Yeah, three of watching Emme be a tree in *The Wizard of Oz*. The witch said, "I'm melting." I was like, "Take me with you."
**Adam**: That's like Club Med compared to what dealt with today. While I was on the phone with a client, the kids decided to have a Nerf dart shoot-out. Katie mails me in the face, right? And I open my mouth in surprise, as you do. Right? Teddy rolls by on his skateboard and shoots one down my throat.
**Adam**: I coughed up the foam part, but the rubber tip is still inside me somewhere.
**Andi**: Oh, honey.
**Adam**: Yeah, well, it won't happen again because I handled it.

**Adam**: [sigh] Oh. Hey, I'm glad you guys are here. I need to talk to you.
**Marie**: Things no better at home?
**Adam**: The kids are lying. We know they're lying. They know we know they're lying.
**Marie**: It's tough to control kids these days. Victor's in fourth grade, and I'm pretty sure he took my car out last night.
**Lowell**: You know, a couple years ago, my wife and I decided we were gonna stop telling the girls "no", because It's very negative. But then one of them bought a boat on eBay.
**Lowell**: Now we say it all the time.

**Mrs. Rodriguez**: Mr. Burns, come with me and put your listening ears.
**Adam**: You don't have to talk to me like I'm a kindergartener.
**Mrs. Rodriguez**: Now.
**Adam**: Yes, ma'am.
