Quotes
-
Alex : Delilah, I thought you would've caught on by now. When Mother Buchanan treats any of us to a fancy meal, it's only to get us to do things for her.
Vivian : Yeah, hasn't she ever done that to you?
Delilah : Well now that you mention it, once she bought me a frozen yogurt and I wound up painting her garage!
Vivian : Everyone has their price... but who would've thought yours would be so low?
-
Mother Buchanan : Bree, you owe me.
Bree : Just because you bought me lunch doesn't mean I have to give you grandchildren!
Mother Buchanan : You are my last chance for grandchildren. Alexandria has given me one grandchild in eighteen years... I guess she's waiting to get her figure back. I don't know what Delilah's problem is, she is built to breed! I have seen hungry newborn babies stand up and run toward her. And Vivian, well...
Vivian : Well, what? I gave you two grandchildren.
Mother Buchanan : Oh, please! Wolves could have done a better job of raising those boys!
-
Vivian Buchanan : My pregnancy was easy. It was the delivery that damn near killed me! Natural childbirth? What was I thinking? Ed gave me three beers to get me pregnant, you'd think he could've slipped me a Dubonnet between contractions!
-
Mother Buchanan : I hear that Delilah is unhappy. And an unhappy Delilah makes an unhappy Charles. And an unhappy Charles makes an unhappy Mother Buchanan.
Vivian : And a happy Mother Buchanan would look like...?
Mother Buchanan : You may never know, Vivian.
