- Lois: [Dewey wants a new watch, but the family says they can't afford it] Hi Dewey, how was school?
- Dewey: Terrible. I missed the school bus because I didn't know what time it was. And then I was late for a spelling test because I didn't know what time it was. And then David Klassner beat me up because I didn't know what time it was.
- Lois: You want to know what time it is, Dewey? It's half-past a roof over your head, clean clothes, and three meals a day. That's what time it is.
- Dewey: Let me tell you something, Mom. The roof leaks, the clothes are hand-me-downs, and the food stinks.
- Lois: [pointing] Room!
- Dewey: Dirty!
- Judith: [a resident at a retirement home, explains her situation to Reese] We're not allowed to have romances around here. They don't think we're capable of having feelings anymore.
- Reese: That is totally unfair! I mean, as long as the two of you can see each other naked and still keep your lunches down, you should be able to do whatever it is you want to do.
