Wanda [about Frank]: I wouldn't let him in your house if I were you. He makes Joey crazy, Bill hates him, and he doesn't pee in the toilet.
Nicki: Bill's not very good about lifting the seat either.
Wanda: No, Nicki. He pees in the sink

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.
(Sarah looks down, embarrassed.)
Barb: Wuhh... We should do that sometime

Bill: I promise you, you will not have the baby in this motel.
Wanda: Oh, I could give birth in a potato patch, I'd survive. It's Joey I'm worried about

Barb: Who's that?
Bill: Just Nicki.
Barb: Oh. What'd she want?
Bill: No, nothing... She's ovulating

Nicki [about Barb]: Do you think she's happy for me? About the baby?
Margie: Of course. She loves babies. Sometimes I think she wishes my boys were hers.
Nicki: Sometimes I think they wish the same thing

Lois [about her and Bill's father]: We're gonna be legally married!
Bill: Congratulations.
Lois: No gifts, please!
Bill: Are you happy?
Lois: Well, you know me. I have a naturally cheerful countenance. But anyway, I just wanted to let you know. We won't be moving in together which means we'll probably get along a little better. But it won't matter any way. He won't be around much longer

Nicki [for a baby name]: What do you think of the name Noel?
Bill: I think it says "Kick me and take my lunch money"

Margene: Your father said we cannot call a plumber.
Ben: I know.
Margene: Do you think he's a cheapskate?
Ben: Umm, I believe the word is thrifty

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

Barb [to Peg]

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

Nicki: You're the weak link, Margie.
Margie: What?
Nicki: We have to be realistic. You can't keep a secret like me and you're not a good liar like Barb.
Barb: What do you mean I'm a good liar?
Nicki: With the neighbors. You're so effortless; you're pro

Nicki: He's been so happy! And he saw me in the car and pretended he didn't see me. And then he gave us flowers to throw me off the trail. I mean, don't you see? Do you see it?
Wanda: You don't think he's...?
Nicki: He is, yes! He is seeing a fourth wife. This is exactly what he did when he got interested in Margene. Honestly, I knew even before I knew, you know?
Wanda: It's so easy to see through them. They're kind of cute that way
