- Carolyn Muir: You said you wanted controversy but you vetoed every suggestion I've made because you don't want it to offend anyone.
- Mark Finley: Yes, well, ahem, we certainly don't want to tread on anyone's toes, do we?
- Martha Grant: Now what'll it be - sausage, bacon, waffles, pancakes, toast, muffins, scrambled, fried or soft-boiled egg?
- Carolyn Muir: Just coffee, please.
- Martha Grant: I offer you fifty-two exotic flavors and you choose vanilla.
- Carolyn Muir: [returned from work] How are things on the home front?
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: Oh, those poor orphans - your children.
- Carolyn Muir: S'anything wrong?
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: The wee abandoned waifs have been moping around all day, deserted by their only parent.
- Carolyn Muir: That's a bit overstated, even for you, Captain.
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: Oh, if only you could have seen them. It would have melted your heart, if any.
- Carolyn Muir: [wryly] Tomorrow I'm planning to sell them to Fagin.
- Candice Muir: Mom sure leaves early.
- Martha Grant: Yes, but she makes up for it by getting home late.
- Mark Finley: Mrs. Muir, I've decided to make you my second-in-command on the Beacon team.
- Carolyn Muir: Oh, well, that IS an opportunity. Um... how many are there on the team?
- Mark Finley: You and me.
