- Jonathan Muir: No one tells me anything either.
- [smitten by the new boy at school, Candice heads to her room without any interest in Martha's freshly baked cookies]
- Martha Grant: Okay, I'll eat my own cookies.
- Jonathan Muir: I'll help.
- Martha Grant: That's your tenth.
- Jonathan Muir: You said it wasn't polite to count.

- Scruffy: Arf! Arf!
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: Yes, I know she's only a little girl. Surely I don't have to tell you anything about puppy love.
- Penelope Hassenhammer: I think England's just the most.
- Mark Helmore: Then you're really a super bird.
- [Candice leaves to play with friends on the beach]
- Carolyn Muir: Hey, aren't you gonna go with them? They're gonna go play volleyball.

- Carolyn Muir: But, Captain, we have to have SOME protection against heartbreakers like you.
- Candice Muir: Mark told Adam his favorite food is fish and chips. What's that?
- Martha Grant: Fried fish and french fried potatoes wrapped in old dirty newspapers.
- Carolyn Muir: They have to be "old" dirty newspapers?
- Martha Grant: Well, it depends on whether you want to be authentic or sanitary.
