Ben! Go put a shirt on. This isn't a nudist colony, last time I checked

Barb [seeing Nicki come home with shopping bags]: How's the "family emergency" going?
Margie: Yeah, somebody die at The Gap?

Barb: I'm having an affair.
Peg: With who?
Barb: Bill.
Peg: Your husband Bill?

I don't like the sneaking around... Actually, I love the sneaking around, it is so exciting!

Barb [to Peg]

Barb: Who's that?

Heather: You know, I really have some strong opinions about polygamy and I would love to sit down and talk to you about it one day.

Barb [about Nicki]: Has she said anything to you about what she's wearing?
Margene: Nuh-uh.
Barb: Just try to get her to wear something a little more... I mean, she sticks out like a sore thumb.
Margene: Oh...
Barb: I don't want to hurt her feelings, but it's like walking into the Governor's mansion with a sign that says "Practicing Polygamist". She'll never listen to it coming from me, she'll think I'm attacking her. I mean, even just offer to do her hair

Nicki: I didn't marry for love. I married for the principle.
Barb: I didn't. I tried. I don't know if I have a testimony for the principle. But I love you, I love our family more and more.
Nicki: That frightens me. I don't know that a marriage based on love can go the distance. The secret holiness of the institution. The sanctity of marriage. Without it, it's just random couplings, with no purpose or sticktoitiveness. How will we survive the bad times on just love?

I know this place will feel like home, even if they don't know where there home is.

Honey, life goes by in a blink of the eye.

Sarah: Why can't we just hire a babysitter like everyone else?
