Quotes

Barbara Barry: [singing on the radio] An ordinary day becomes a holiday when I'm with you.
Richard Barry: It can't be! Her voice is just like Barbara's! If I didn't know my child was at school... I'd swear...
Margaret Allen: All children's voices sound a lot alike. It's just that slight difference that makes Bonnie stand out. A proud father probably wouldn't even notice that difference.
Barbara Barry: [on the radio] Marry me, and let me be your wife!
Richard Barry: It is Barbara! I'm telling you, it's Barbara!
Margaret Allen: Are you losing your mind? That's Bonnie Dolan!
Richard Barry: I tell you, it's my daughter!
Barbara Barry: [on the radio] Even funny spinach takes like pumpkin pie when I'm with you.
Margaret Allen: You're just making a complete idiot of yourself. I know the child and I know her parents!
Richard Barry: But, I'm her parent!
