Quotes 

• Marshall Beck : Think of the money! Why they could be wealthier than us!

  Carlotta Beck : That wouldn't take much, Marshall. I have already been forced to buy my hosiery in eggs!

  [Carlotta hurls a L'eggs container at him] 

• George Wilhoit : I believe my secretary has inadvertently erased the tape.

  Marshall Beck : Erased the tape? Oh, I get it! The old Rosemary Woods story!

  Kathleen Beck : Who's Rosemary Woods?

  Marshall Beck : She worked for Nixon.

  Winona 'Mother B' Beck : No, she didn't. Her full name is Clooney, she's a big band singer, and she's married to that Spanish fella.

• Marshall Beck : Now could we just once, in front of company, have a normal conversation that does not make this family sound like the dumbest, goofiest people on earth?

• Marshall Beck : I always wanted a child! Even as a child, I wanted a child because no one wanted to play with me. Now this one will have to whether he likes it or not. Because I said so!

• [Marshall and Carlotta are trying to adopt a child] 

  Carlotta Beck : Naturally, Mrs. Camp, we have certain requirements of our own.

  Mrs. Camp : I'd be very interested to know what those are.

  Carlotta Beck : For example, we'd hope the child would at least come from a good broken home. The important thing is that we get the child as quickly as possible.

  Mrs. Camp : Why?

  Marshall Beck : Because we're in a race... Against the clock! Because, uh... we're getting old.

• Kathleen Beck : It appears your Mrs. Camp wants to ask a few questions about the two of you. 'Course, I would just love to just say the most wonderful things, but then I would need some assurance that we could split the endowment money from Big Guy.

  Marshall Beck : Kathleen, that's blackmail.

  Kathleen Beck : Yes, I know. I saw it on TV. Well, I have to go now, I'm sure my electric curlers are overheatin'.
