Cheryl Hines: Kate

Quotes 

• Sierra : [notices a plastic bag that has been thrown on the table by her parents]  What's that?

  Kate : Don't get cute. This isn't a game Sierra. It's catnip.

  [reads from a book] 

  Kate : Or as you and your friends might call it: Mulch, snorkel, monkey junk, street cheese or Siamese cole slaw.

  Sierra : What? You think that's mine?

  Larry : We found it in your room.

  Sierra : Oh my God. You searched my room. What happened to privacy?

  Sierra : We saw a movie about a lion that drove a truck! We're not going to let that happen to you.

  Sierra : Well it's not mine!

  Kate : Then who's is it?

  Sierra : I don't know. Maybe one of my friends put it there. Or maybe it's Siegfried and Roy's. I mean that would definetly explain the outfits.

  Kate : Uh-huh. We're supposed to believe that.

  Sierra : Yeah, because it's the truth.

  [pauses as she looks at her parents] 

  Sierra : I don't believe it. You don't trust me.

  Kate : No, we don't trust you. For all we know you're high on the...

  [glances at book again] 

  Kate : ... Friedman right this minute.

  Larry : [glances over at book in Kate's hands]  Honey, that's the doctor who did the study.

• Kate : [rushes into living room carrying a plastic bag with green substance in it]  Larry, this is a nightmare. Look what I just found in Sierra's room.

  [hands bag to Larry] 

  Kate : Please tell me this isn't what I think it is.

  Larry : [sniffs bag]  Yep, that's catnip.

  Kate : Oh God, our daughter's a niphead.

  Sarmoti : Nice. You run a tight ship champ.

  [pats Larry on the back] 

  Kate : This explains the locked doors and the weird attitude.

  Larry : Look, she's a teenager. She's bound to experiment.

  Sarmoti : "Bound to experiment"? Way to parent with authority. Call me when she's pregnant.

• Sierra : [opens locked front door]  You guys are back early.

  Kate : Why was the door locked?

  Sierra : I don't know. The better question is: Why do we live in a world where the doors need locks?

  Larry : I think she's got us there.

• Kate : When I was a teenager I never tried catnip. Did you?

  Larry : Me? Catnip? Never.

  Snack : [drops into room]  Hey kitty cats. What's happening?

  Larry : [hands plastic bag to Snack]  We just found this in Sierra's room.

  Snack : Ahhhh- hah ha! This must take you back Lar. Always had the good stuff, huh buddy?

  Larry : [waving hands and shaking head in "no don't" gesture] 

  Snack : Always a party at Larry's. Lots and lots of ladies.

  Larry : [slaps forehead in frustration] 

  Snack : Some say they were only there for the 'nip. But hey, at least they were there. Does this ring any bells?

  [starts to spin on his head] 

  Snack : Whoooooooooooooo!

  Larry : [stops Snack's spinning with his hand] 

  Larry : [to Kate]  Heh. He's not doing it right.

• Kate : That isnt funny, young lady! We were very very furried about you!... Hey, Lar, check it out. I Just said "furried" instead of "worried".

  Larry : Furried, that's awesome... Who are you?

  Henry Davis, white lion at Rave : Oh!

  [backs away in a robot-like fashion] 

  Henry Davis, white lion at Rave : Abort! Abort! Abort! Abort! Abort!
