Quotes 

• Ryan Newman : Mom, what are you doing?

  Catherine Newman : What does it look like I'm doing, silly? I'm making a statement about corporate greed in the death of selflessness through interpretive movement painting.

• Catherine Newman : Who is this little doggie friend?

  Ryan Newman : Oh, this is Wilfred. I'm watching him for my neighbor.

  [the cat on the chair next to them spits] 

• Catherine Newman : Don't be such a grouch! But I know how to turn that frown upside down. Fishsticks in peanut butter tacos, your favorite breakfast!

  Ryan Newman : Thanks, but these days I eat breakfast for breakfast. Can I help you find something?

  Catherine Newman : Uh, let's see... Pork rinds, Funyuns, and a 12-pack of Visine. I was looking for a glass, but now I'm looking for your weed.

• Catherine Newman : I'm dying to catch up on the family gossip! Is Kristen still into black guys?

  Ryan Newman : No, Mom, she's been married to Leo for six years.

• Catherine Newman : Come join me, my child!

  Wilfred : Thought you'd never ask!

  [Wilfred runs towards the paint, roll in it and joins her on the painting] 

• [Catherine and Wilfred dances wildly in front of Ryan and Jenna. Ryan blushes and is slowly building up to a rage explosion] 

  Ryan Newman : Enough! Why can't you just act normal?

  Jenna Mueller : I have to pee.

  Catherine Newman : But does she really have to pee? I wonder.

• Ryan Newman : Where did you get this?

  Catherine Newman : I found Wilfred chewing on it last night.

  Ryan Newman : [to Wilfred]  You son of a bitch!

  Wilfred : How is that an insult? I've never understood that.

• Catherine Newman : Can you ever forgive me?

  Ryan Newman : Can you forgive me for calling you crazy?

  Catherine Newman : Oh, that's okay. I am. You know, a little.
