Quotes 

• Bonnie Simpson : [about Timothy]  So, dad. What do you think? Perfect, right?

  Doug Simpson : [almost laughing]  Yeah, wow. Yale, perfect. At last, perfect. Home by 11, perfect. I, uh... wait a minute. Chapter 52. He's too perfect!

• Janet Pearson : [after Doug Simpson sees Katie Simpson for the first time after Janet Pearson gave her a makeover]  Doug, what do you think?

  Bonnie Simpson : Dad, what do you really think?

  Doug Simpson : What do I really think? Who was that kid?

  Janet Pearson : Andy, from down the street.

  Doug Simpson : Nah, nah, nah. The one in the skirt.

  Janet Pearson : Doug, she cannot stay a little girl forever. She is growing up. This did not just happen overnight, it's been coming on for months and months. She asked me to help her.

  Doug Simpson : Well, you didn't have to.

  Janet Pearson : What? If I didn't help her, someone else would.

  Doug Simpson : Hah!

  Janet Pearson : Doug, you can't stop life from happening.

  Doug Simpson : Oh, no? I can sure slow it down a bit.

  Janet Pearson : Oh, yeah? How?

  Doug Simpson : How? Total control. Total control. No boy comes in this house and takes my daughter anywhere unless I know who he is, where he lives, who his parents are, what they do for a living, where they're going, how long they're going to be there, and who they're going to be with. Total control.

  Janet Pearson : That's brilliant, Doug. Good luck!

  Doug Simpson : Total! Total!
