Evelyn Sanders : I am not abandoning you.
Ginny Baker : You're abandoning me in my hour of need.
Evelyn Sanders : Mm... yeah, no. I'm immune to guilt. Chickenpox and guilt. Neither of them get me anymore.
Ginny Baker : Evelyn...
Evelyn Sanders : The only upside to Skip not making the All-Star team this year is that we finally get to take this family vacation. The boys have been begging to go to Disney World for years. And mama don't do roller coasters, so Blip's gonna go on Space Mountain with them.
Ginny Baker : But does it have to be when my mother's visiting? You're my best buffer. Now I have to spend three days alone with this woman.
Evelyn Sanders : Well, maybe it won't be so bad.
Ginny Baker : You've met her. If there was an All-Star Game for silent judgment and guilt trips, she'd be MVP.

Blip Sanders : Dexter Fowler pulled out. Hamstring. I made the All-Star Game!
Evelyn Sanders : [unenthused] Oh, wow! Wow, that's great!
Blip Sanders : Evy, I'm an All-Star, baby!
Evelyn Sanders : Yeah, I know. I got it.
Blip Sanders : Hey... I get to be introduced and tip my cap to the home crowd while watching the fighter jets fly over.
Evelyn Sanders : Yay.
Blip Sanders : This is the biggest moment of my life. Are you seriously not happy for me?
Evelyn Sanders : Of course. I'm very happy for you, babe.
Blip Sanders : Wow. It's nice to have such a supportive wife.
Evelyn Sanders : Excuse me? No, wait... I'm not supportive?
Blip Sanders : Look, how you...?
Evelyn Sanders : No, you said yours. I'm gonna say mine. I did Single-A with you. I did Double-A. I've sat through 0-for-4s and slumps and benchings. There's almost a year of our marriage MIA for all of the road trips, and I've never complained. Not once. I recap every game, every moment of your life every night... and it's the highlight of my day. I raise your sons when you're gone. I keep your home while you're away, and I'm ready to uproot our lives if another old man decides on a whim he wants you more than the one who currently pays you. So perhaps you will allow me one single moment of disappointment upon learning our family vacation was just ruined with a phone call. The boys and I will watch the game from here. I'll take them to the theme park all by myself, like I do all the time in San Diego. And we'll see you back there in a few days. You go enjoy the biggest moment of your life with the fighter planes.
