Party of Five, Season 1

Julia:
Do you ever think about them Bailey?

Bailey:
Yeah, of course I do.

Julia:
Well why don't we ever talk about them. I mean why don't we ever talk about it?

Bailey:
I don't know maybe we feel like we have to put on this brave face for Claud and Owen. But maybe that's stupid. Maybe we should talk about it. Maybe it would help.

Julia:
Sometimes I wonder if these feelings are ever gonna go away.

Bailey:
I don't know, I hope someday they will.

Bailey:
[to Owen] Shh, shh. Listen just to keep you up to date, and don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going crazy here. So unless I come up with some kind of nanny soon, I'm gonna have to sell you off to white slave traders. Now I know that's not how you pictured yourself growing up, but hey welcome to the club. Sleep well.

Bailey:
[to Charlie] We'll give up whatever we have to to get by and we'll let everyone think you're this great guy just trying to hold his family together, who's like a father to us, even if we know it's a lie.

Charlie:
Julia get down here now, family meeting. Me and Doug and a friend of his were gonna by into this co-op. We were gonna fix it up and sell it. The whole thing was gonna take a month tops. We would have doubled our money no questions asked. Except the guy took the money and split.

Bailey:
How much money did you lose, Charlie?

Charlie:
12 [long pause] thousand.

Julia:
Of your own money right?

Bailey:
So much for your lectures on responsibility. Is this why you wanted control of all the accounts so you could blow it all yourself?

Claudia:
You can't tell me what to do.

Charlie:
Oh yes I can, read the guardianship agreement.

Bailey:
Oh, would you shut up about that already, Charlie? A piece of paper does NOT make you a parent.

Bailey:
[about his crush on Kirsten] Any suggestions?

Will:
Yeah. Snap out of it. Do you have any clue how to analyze the poem "To His Coy Mistress" in terms of its theme, metaphor, imagery and meter?

Bailey:
Not off the top of my head.

Will:
Well you better figure it out, cause if you spend the next 3 days mooning over this babysitter and blow this paper, you get put on academic probation and get benched from the team, and we lose another game. Ten other guys are gonna come to your house and do a job on your face so no girl will find you attractive again, OK?

Charlie:
Listen I got this idea. It says here there's a new band at the Armory and they're supposed to be really hot and I get off from the bar early. You free?

Kirsten:
There must be something in the water. Suddenly everybody's interested in my social schedule. Actually I got 2 front row tickets to Liz Phair tonight.

Charlie:
OK, that's just as good.

Kirsten:
I'm going with George. He got them through his law firm.

Charlie:
I can't believe you're going out with a lawyer. I mean isn't that kind of button down for you?

Kirsten:
No, it's kind of perfect. The truth is I kind of owe it all to you. If you hadn't bailed out on me a couple of weeks ago, George and I might have never hooked up.

Charlie:
If I could bring one ray of sunshine into your life...

Kirsten:
You know, I thought we had something going Charlie, but you kind of weirded-out on me.

Charlie:
I was trying to be a lot nobler then I actually am.

Kirsten:
I'm not following you.

Charlie:
Never mind it'll never happen again.

Girl:
So we party on the street corner? Please.

Julia:
Wait a minute. You just need a place?

[Girl nods]

Julia:
I know a big house, zero hassles, total freedom and immediate occupancy.

Girl:
Are you kidding? Are you serious?

Julia:
You want to say 7:00?

Mr. Harlen:
Charlie Salinger... you didn't set fire to the boys bathroom again did you?

Charlie:
Hey Mr. Harlen.

Mrs. Peterson:
Oh my goodness, if it isn't Charlie Salinger.

Charlie:
Hey Mrs. Peterson.

Mrs. Peterson:
We still talk about the peephole in the girls lockerroom.

Grunge Kid:
You really got to let yourself loose. I practically got trampled to death at a Beastie Boys concert.

Julia:
Oh, really?

Grunge Kid:
It was totally cool when you're this close to having your skull crushed by a skinhead wearing a pair of Doc Martens. You know you're alive on the planet you know?

Bailey:
Girls switch boyfriends all the time.

Will:
Well what are you going to do? Just call her up and tell her to break up with him? And go out with you instead?

Bailey:
No, I'm gonna, you know... I'm just gonna... hang around her a lot.

Claudia:
Yeah, you know... Just be there all the time.

Bailey:
Yeah.

Will:
Gee, why didn't I think of that.

Bailey:
And then you know, eventually she'll fall for me.

Claudia:
Like a ton of bricks.

Will:
And why is that again?

Claudia:
Duh... He's Bailey.

Bailey:
Hey Charlie, you ever get the feeling the Gods just don't like us?

Charlie:
All the time, Bay, all the time.

Bailey:
Maybe we should stop exclaiming "God!" all the time...

Charlie:
You know what?

Kirsten:
What?

Charlie:
Nothing. It's, it's stupid.

Kirsten:
Tell me..

Charlie:
I, um... I used to get dragged to church when I was little and uh... I hated it. So I'd just stare at the angels on the ceiling and they always had this... beautiful golden hair like yours. So you just reminded me of an angel, I guess.

Kirsten:
That's really nice.

Julia:
What happened to Greg?

Nina:
He's so immature. Drew is the coolest, Julia. He's cute and he's funny and he's a Senior.

Julia:
Is he? It's a Junior class.

Nina:
Well, I know. He's not Mr. Honor Roll. But he's really sexy.

Julia:
Don't say bitch! I don't like you using language like that!

Claudia:
You know what? Maybe you could just come and listen to me play for once, instead of just telling me what NOT to do all the time!

Bailey:
I'm such a moron. I can't believe what a moron I am.

Will:
You are a moron.

Bailey:
I...I just, kinda forced the issue.

Will:
The issue?

Bailey:
With Kate about Tom.

Will:
The boyfriend?

Bailey:
Yep.

Will:
You said him or you?

Bailey:
Pretty much.

Will:
Wow

Bailey:
Yeah

Will:
And?

Bailey:
And what? Would I be a moron if everything would have worked out?

Will:
Good point by you.

Bailey:
Okay so I hire 2 big guys to kidnap him and take him off to some remote island or Hawaii, someplace. Just so Kate doesn't see him for a while and then eventually she forgets all about him.

Will:
Hmm. I don't know Bay. Kidnapping? I don't think they let you graduate from high school if you've kidnapped somebody.

Julia:
You think the only person you have to listen to in this house is Bailey.

Claudia:
At least he cares about me!

Julia:
What are you talking about? Why do you think I've been so concerned about you being in this competition? Because I care.

Claudia:
Right. And that's why you're acting like such a BITCH!

Joe:
Are you gonna walk out on me now? Oh excuse me, I forgot who I was talking to.

Charlie:
Hey, you know what? I'm sick of you telling me what's wrong with me and I'm fed up with being reminded every day that I'm not half the man my father was. Especially when it turns out that he wasn't everything he was cracked up to be. I'm not the one who screwed up your business. Blame that on the management whiz. A guy who never lost his cool. Saw everything coming. My father did this to you.

PK:
Would it be cool if I uh...crashed on your sofa?

Charlie:
Uh... I'll get some blankets.

Julia:
You'll have to be quiet though, my sister sleeps in the dining room in a tent.

PK:
Your sister sleeps in a tent?

Julia:
[chuckles] Kind of a weird family.

PK:
Well... you have no idea.

Claudia:
It's not polite to smoke in the house you know. Other people breath that stuff in.

PK:
[puts his cigarette out] Happy?

Claudia:
Have you ever done drugs, hard drugs, anything intravenous?

PK:
Yeah, and I killed a guy once for a cigarette.

Claudia:
I'm just gonna stay out here.

Bailey:
All night? Look, Claud, I gotta get back inside, I can't--

Claudia:
Fine! So don't. I'd rather be alone, anyway.

Bailey:
Do you think it's always gonna be like this for us?

Julia:
I don't know. Maybe.... maybe these are the good old days.

Bailey:
[laughs] Yeah. Doesn't get much better than this, huh?

Claudia:
Do you believe in omens?

Bailey:
What do you mean?

Claudia:
Signs that bad things are gonna happen.

Bailey:
No, I don't. I think people need to look for reasons that bad things happen, but... sometimes there just aren't any.

Charlie:
So what, it's one strike and I'm out with you?

Kirsten:
I guess so, yeah! See, that's what happens when you cheat, and when you lie to me!

Claudia:
It's ok...I just bug you, right? I mean, I'm kind of just a big pain.

Bailey:
No you're not, I'm just...I'm just trying to figure out how to work things, Claud. I mean, Kate's the first girlfriend I've ever had, first real girlfriend. And I'm not forgetting about you. I'm not. I promise. Whenever you need me, you come first.

Charlie:
What are you doing?

Claudia:
I want to help.

Julia:
You'll hurt your hands.

Claudia:
But Charlie, you asked me!

Charlie:
What was I thinking about? A big star like you?

Bailey:
Besides, an artist needs her sleep.

Claudia:
It's OK. I don't care.

Julia:
Go to bed, Claud.

Charlie:
You owe it to your public.

Charlie:
I really need your help. What do you say?

Claudia:
Sorry. Too risky.

Charlie:
[to Julia and Bailey] You know, you just can't buy love like that.

Charlie:
I mean, writing things down, it just comes so naturally to you. You're a real good writer, Jul. And I know I'm not the best advice-giver or anything, but...I think whatever you do, you shouldn't stop writing. Whatever you do, you should write about it.

Julia:
You didn't take the dog out.

Claudia:
What makes you think I didn't?

Julia:
A big poop on the floor, that's what!

Bailey:
[about Walter Alcott] He's got his life back. I mean, he's working. I don't know. He can go to dinner, or see a movie, or take his family somewhere.

Emmett:
You really think that, Bay? I don't.

Bailey:
Well, I don't want to take the chance. I mean, he was in jail for nine months. Nine months! That's four and a half months for each of my parents! And good behavior. What is that about, huh? What did he do? Cure cancer? I want him to pay for what he did, and if it can't be with more jail time, then I want him to pay out of his own pocket!

Emmett:
You want to sue?

Bailey:
Can we?

Emmett:
Well, yes, technically. You could file a civil suit against him.

Bailey:
Then let's, then let's do it. Let's sue the bastard for every cent he's got.

Emmett:
And you think that a lawsuit's only gonna make his life miserable? What about yours? You know how long these things can take? What with depositions and continuances and appeals...it's years, Bailey.

Bailey:
I don't care.

Emmett:
You don't care, but what about the others? What about Claudia or Owen? What about Owen, Bailey? Because by the time this thing is over, he's gonna be old enough to understand.

Bailey:
Yeah, well, at least he'll see me doing something.

Emmett:
But doing what? Let's say you lose. What was it all for?

Bailey:
Well, let's say we win.

Emmett:
Fine, let's say that. You win. What has it changed? Exactly what have you won? You take something on like this, and it becomes your life.

Bailey:
It is my life.

Charlie:
[when Joe invites him and his siblings over for Thanksgiving] Look, we've had other invitations, Joe. Bay's friend Will. We just don't feel like it.

Joe:
Charlie, there are gonna be other holidays without them. Are you gonna skip those, too?

Charlie:
Look, we just need to get through this one, okay? It's easier that way for everyone.

Joe:
I know this guy coming back shakes up everybody, and it brings up things that nobody wants to deal with, but you make a meal, you sit down as a family. It's like saying "Life goes on".

Charlie:
We say that every day, Joe, without the turkey.

Walter:
I understand.

Bailey:
I don't think you can. I really don't think that there's any way that you can possibly understand.

Walter:
You don't want to hear anything I have to say, do you?

Bailey:
No, I sure don't.

Walter:
Okay, then.

Bailey:
I want to know what you know about them. About my parents.

Walter:
Well, uh...I know their names. I know your mother was, uh, 45, and your father was...48.

Bailey:
47. Besides that.

Walter:
He owned a restaurant. She was...a musician. A violinist.

Bailey:
I mean the important stuff. She had hair all the way down her back. Did you know that? Beautiful dark hair my father wouldn't let her cut. They were married 26 years last January, and my dad would still come home in the afternoon and claim he had a headache, and he and my mom would go upstairs, and we all knew what they were doing. They loved each other. They were in love. My sister asks me questions that I can't answer because I don't know. Like, like why didn't he wear a watch? Or, or what was that song she used to sing to us when we were little and had fevers? And Owen. God, he won't even know to ask. There's just gonna be pictures on the piano and stories that we all tell that everyone remembers a little differently. And he's gonna walk soon, my brother. He's a couple weeks away, and they're not gonna see it because of you! Because you had a few drinks, and you got in your car, and you went through that intersection, and you killed them!

Walter:
What can I do? What do you want me to do?

Bailey:
I want you to step on your damn brake and stop at that red light!

Walter:
So do I, but I can't. I can't take it back. So what I have to do is figure out a way to go forward.

Bailey:
I don't want you to get past this. I can't. Why should you? See, I want to hurt you. I want to take something from you. Something that is so much a part of you that you don't know who you are without it, and I want you to spend the rest of your life knowing that's what you did to us. And I want to make sure you never forget.

Julia:
Just stay out of my stuff, got it? God, I am never going to forgive you for this.

Claudia:
That seems fair.

Julia:
I'm telling you, it's hard. But it's not the hardest thing in the world to say 'I forgive you.'

Charlie:
Yes, it is.

Claudia:
[to Mrs. Gideon] What else do you want from us? Tell me! What more are we supposed to do--are we supposed to be perfect?

Mrs. Gideon:
Of course not.

Claudia:
[starts to cry] Are there really that many people who do much better? We made it through the last nine months. I don't think it can get much harder than that. Do you?

Mrs. Gideon:
I am not the enemy here, Claudia.

Claudia:
Yes you are. You might not think so, but you are.

Claudia:
[to siblings] If you want to blame someone for this, blame yourselves! I'm growing up, and I'm becoming a woman! And you're missing it.

Claudia:
[to Mrs. Gideon] The only thing that's gonna ruin this for us, and that's going to stop us from being a family, is you.

Mrs. Gideon:
Claudia, two days ago, I got a phone call because your brothers and sister had no idea where you were, and that scares me.

Claudia:
That's because you only look at what we do wrong.

Mrs. Gideon:
Claudia.....

Claudia:
What about all the things we do right? Like the fact that Bailey gets up in the middle of the night, every night, for Owen? I mean, he's 16 and on Friday nights, he babysits! Julia trims my bangs, and she doesn't let me watch movies on cable, and Charlie has this rule about eating vegetables for dinner...and Bailey took my class on a field trip to the planetarium with, like, 3 other mothers! And I'm trying to think of everything else, but--

Mrs. Gideon:
Claudia--

Claudia:
What more do you want from us? Tell me!

Bailey:
Is this like some kind of big emergency, Claud?

Claudia:
Well....kind of, yeah. The thing is...I just got my period.

Bailey:
Oh...

Bailey:
All right, let's see here...these look good! Come on, let's get out of here.

Claudia:
Bailey, these are tampons! Super plus! Jesus...there sure are lots to choose from.

Bailey:
These have wings. Wings...what's up with that?

Julia:
I can make popcorn and read Charlotte's Web to you like I used to.

Claudia:
You really wanna do that? How come? I thought you were way too old to be sharing a bedroom.

Julia:
[smiling] Who said that, huh? I'm not too old.

Charlie:
[to Claudia] Are you afraid of having an accident or something?

Bailey:
She's afraid of spilling.

Julia:
Staining.

Claudia:
Oh God, I'm going to die.

Charlie:
For God's sake, Claud, I don't have time for this! You think you're gonna miss school every time you get your period?

Claudia:
I just don't feel like going! I'm moody.

Charlie:
You're moody all the time.

Julia:
Problem?

Charlie:
Claudia's not going to school, she got her period.

Julia:
So? It's her first time. She's nervous.

Claudia:
I'm not nervous! I just don't feel like going!

Bailey:
What's going on?

Charlie:
Claudia's period.

Claudia:
Why don't you just invite the neighbors over, and we can all talk about it!

Charlie:
So I take it Jill told you about our conversation?

Bailey:
Yeah. Yeah, she did. And I can't believe you would just out of nowhere accuse her of being on speed!

Charlie:
She's on speed, Bay.

Bailey:
I'm sorry I missed your birthday. It's just that with Jill and everything, it was...

Claudia:
More important. Yeah, I know.

Bailey:
No. Not more important. But...I guess it seemed more urgent. I'm really sorry.

Julia:
I'm sure you did everything you could, Bay.

Bailey:
I don't know. Maybe that's just the way it is with people. Maybe there's just nothing anybody can do to help anyone else.

Charlie:
Bailey, you help people all the time.

Julia:
Yeah. I mean, look what you did for Claudia.

Bailey:
What, blow off her birthday? Yeah, I'm expecting a medal for that one.

Julia:
You remembered the charm.

Charlie:
Oh my God, the charm.

Bailey:
You forgot the charm???

Julia:
We both did.

Bailey:
Oh God, no wonder she was so pissed!

Charlie:
I don't know, Bay. Maybe the thing to do is look for people who actually want your help and just help them.

Julia:
That's not fair, Charlie. That is not fair! There's one of you and four of us, and each of us has something here that's every bit as important to us as your work is to you. And this is our home!

Charlie:
All right. Then I'll tell you what. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. We're moving to Seattle.

Bailey:
You can't do that, Charlie.

Charlie:
The hell I can't!

Bailey:
There's no way you can do this, Charlie, OK? You can't! So you go. You go, and you do what you have to do. We're not going with you.

Claudia:
We're gonna get split up.

Bailey:
That's right. That's right. I hope you can live with that, Charlie.

Claudia:
I was just making a list of who would take what... I mean, if we get split up.

Bailey:
Look, Claud. The thing is... if Charlie goes to Seattle, we'll go with him.

Claudia:
Even after what you said?

Bailey:
Yeah.

Claudia:
I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Bailey:
Yeah, me neither. But maybe if we're all together, it won't be so bad.

Bailey:
I don't know...it's like I'm trying to keep from drowning, and I keep getting reminded of how easy it's been for you.

Julia:
It hasn't been that easy.

Bailey:
But at least you have Justin.

Julia:
Yeah...I guess.

Julia:
I'm not the one who failed, this is so unfair! I'm having a great time, for the first time in so long. I want to spend time with Justin, that's all I want to do! And now all this stuff about Seattle and having to study with you...

Bailey:
So...what, is that a good reason to just ditch me?

Julia:
You know what? You treat me like some baby with brains, you know? Like there's something silly or cute about being in love. Why should I help you?

Bailey:
Because I'm in trouble. And I'm your brother.

Charlie:
[in response to the party Claudia threw at the house] I thought I said...

Claudia:
You said I was grounded, that I couldn't go out. Well, I didn't go out. I brought everyone in.

Charlie:
You eat way too much sugar, that's the whole problem.

Claudia:
I do not!

Charlie:
Yes, you do! Why don't you have a nice piece of fruit when you get home from school?

Claudia:
Why don't you get a haircut?

Charlie:
I'm serious, Claud, when was the last time you had a vegetable?

Claudia:
When was the last time you put down the toilet seat?

Charlie:
So, how many?

Claudia:
A couple....a few....some....six.

Charlie:
Six? Six cavities? That's, like, 20% of your teeth, Claud!

Charlie:
You are NOT doing this to me anymore, have you got that? When I tell you to do something, you say 'Yes, Charlie,' 'Thank you, Charlie', and you DO IT! You obey me, and you treat me with respect, or I swear to God...

Claudia:
WHAT? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna take away from me next?

Charlie:
That is not what's going on!

Claudia:
And in front of all my friends? Forget it! Why do you get to boss me around?

Charlie:
Cut it out, Claudia!

Claudia:
You never listen to a thing I say!

Charlie:
I don't wanna hear this...

Claudia:
Why do I have to listen to you?

Charlie:
Because I am the father around here!

Claudia:
I don't care!

Charlie:
God! [raises hand to hit her, quickly stops himself]

Claudia:
Some father.

Charlie:
Claudia, go to your tent!

Claudia:
I'm eating an apple.

Charlie:
[doesn't look up] Yeah, well, good for you.

Claudia:
It's really delicious. I'm really enjoying it. I'm going to be eating lots of them from now on, broccoli too.

Charlie:
Have you seen the checkbook?

Claudia:
I'm sorry, Charlie.

Charlie:
Yeah, well, just help me look for it.

Claudia:
No, I mean...I'm sorry about before. You know, with the sleepover. You got so mad...I didn't think it would make you that mad. You almost hit me...

Charlie:
I don't want to talk about that, OK?

Claudia:
But I...

Charlie:
OK?

Bailey:
[Claudia's crying about Jill's death] Why are you crying?

Claudia:
Because. Why aren't you?

Bailey:
Would you please just get out of here, Claudia?

Claudia:
[to Ross] You'd make such a great father. You, like, never yell. And you never do that thing parents do when they're pretending to listen, but really they're just noticing you have a lot of wax in your ear.

Bailey:
I can't love anymore, it's too hard. So I'm not going to love anyone, and I don't want anyone to love me.

Charlie:
That's too bad... you don't have a choice... because I love you, Bailey. I love you, man.

Bailey:
Oh, uh, Nana died in 86, same year as Grandma Jane. Papa was like in 89.

Julia:
Thurber needs his walk which was your turn to give.

Claudia:
And who's says I didn't?

Julia:
A poop in the middle of the living room, that's who!

Julia:
How can you not have a damn thing to say?

Charlie:
Just!-- Just cut it out, okay?

Bailey:
(on message machine) Hi, you've reached the Salingers, if we're not around, you know what to do.

Julia:
Look, don't lie to me. It's only gonna make things worse.

Morgan:
I'm not gonna lie.

Julia:
So, what's her name?

Morgan:
Cari. Cari Latham.

Julia:
Oh, my God. You're married?

Morgan:
She just turned 2, she's my daughter.

Julia:
But what about the mother?

Morgan:
Well, we're friends, I mean, we weren't more of a like in a Dan Quayle situation, but it worked.

Julia:
I did not take $10 from your wallet.

Charlie:
Hey, crank it up. People in Sausalito can't hear it.

[Giggling and moaning]

Charlie:
What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Bailey:
Charlie!

Jill:
God! Jeez.

Bailey:
Charlie, get out of here! You can't just come busting in my room like that!

Charlie:
Claudia's downstairs, for God's sakes.

Bailey:
Claudia's downstairs all the time when you and Kirsten do it.

Charlie:
That's not the same thing.

Bailey:
It's exactly the same.

Charlie:
Claudia's downstairs, you're 16 years old, and you're not having sex in this house.

Bailey:
You had sex in this house when you were 16.

Charlie:
No, I didn't! Mom and Dad made it impossible for me, I'm gonna make it impossible for you.

Bailey:
Oh, like that's fair.

Jill:
First of all, those aren't even mine, all right? They're, like, mostly my brother's.

Bailey:
Give me a break.

Jill:
I'm telling you, he puts it in my bag, because he doesn't want my folks to find them!

Bailey:
Jill.

Jill:
What? Okay, okay, I'm not saying that I don't take them, all right? I take them sometimes, like, when I'm really stressed out at school, or if I'm working really late at the coffee shop or something. I mean, just every once in a while, just to keep me going. What is the big deal?

Bailey:
Are you kidding? What is the big deal? You're on drugs.

Jill:
I am not on drugs! I take some pills sometimes. Oh, what, you have never had a beer or something?

Bailey:
What are these anyway? I don't even know what these are. Speed?

Bailey:
Well, didn't you stop to think that maybe there's a-- There's a good explanation Like, maybe they were aspirin? Huh? I mean, it's not like Claudia's some drug expert or anything.

Julia:
It's Darvax from when Mom hurt her back.

Charlie:
It's a really strong drug, Bailey.

Bailey:
Yeah, I know what kind of drug it is.

Charlie:
You don't steal drugs from somebody's medicine cabinet unless things are pretty bad.

Bailey:
I'll take care of it. Thanks.

Charlie:
She needs to get help, Bay. In the meantime, we'd feel better if she didn't come around here so much.

Bailey:
What? What're you doing? What are you, kicking her out of here? Is that what you're doing?

Julia:
Shh! Claud's sleeping. Keep your voice down.

Bailey:
Screw this. This is my house too.

Charlie:
She's stealing, Bay, and she's lying to you. She's not in control.

Julia:
And we don't want to see you get hurt.

Bailey:
Wait, you think you're making this better, making me choose? You are making it so much worse, I can't tell you. This is my house. You don't tell me what to do with my girlfriend. There is no way in hell I'm putting up with that.

Claudia:
Broccoli? Yuck. I don't like broccoli. You know I don't like it, I never liked it.

Charlie:
Try it again. Maybe you'll like it this time.

Claudia:
What's that suppose to mean? Parents say that to kids all the time, it just doesn't make sense. Why would I suddenly like something I've hated my whole life? Are you some sort of cooking genius, or has my taste changed overnight? I don't think so.

Charlie:
We'll sit here until you finish eating the broccoli.

Claudia:
I can't believe you throw out everything we have over a stupid plate of vegetables. I hate you now, you know that. I'll probably hate you forever.

Charlie:
Eat.

Charlie:
Don't you dare.

Claudia:
What are you going to do? Tackle me, throw me to the ground, lock me in my room?

Charlie:
For God's sales, Claudia. I'm warning you.

Claudia:
I'm done with dinner.

Charlie:
Ok, that's it. No more TV. The set is not going on, not for a single second for the rest of the month. You lose, Claud.
