Michael: (after Mary dunks his head in a toilet) I want to file assault charges.
Principal: Fine. And Mary, I assume you'll want to file sexual harassment charges? (long silence, Michael looks baffled) What did you think that was? Messing around? Joking? Having fun? It's not. It's sexual harassment.
Mr. Towner: You know, I'm not the least bit surprised that you feel this way.
Principal: Mr. Towner, I know you'd like to believe that this is about "sisterhood" when actually, it's a matter of right and wrong. You see, your belief is incorrect, and holding fast to it at this point really isn't going to help anyone, including your son. So, Mary, how do you want to handle this?
Mary: (pauses) It's over. I just want to let it go.
Principal: Really? I'm not inclined to be as generous as you are. (to Michael) You talk trash, you write trash, and you dare to snap this woman's bra strap? At the very least, your head is gonna wind up in a toilet! You harass one more human being in this building, and you will find that you have no friends here. Got it?
Michael: Yes.
Principal: Good. Now go spread the word. I know you're good at that. (edit) Simon: (jealous of Ruthie's new best friend) You might as well line a hamster cage with me.
Matt: Are you kidding? Your job's just beginning.
Simon: What do you mean?
Matt: Well, she's always gonna need you. I mean, half the time, she won't know it, and she'll never admit it, but you're older, you'll know it, and that'll be enough. The tricky part is teaching her to take care of herself.
Simon: Well, I'll do my best. She's a handful.
Matt: Yeah, well, it could be worse. How would you like to be Mary and have to keep an eye on Lucy?
Simon: Then I'd have to quit school, because she's a full-time job!
Matt: (laughs) Yeah. And as the oldest, I have to look out for everybody, including you.
Simon: And when do you ever have to look out for me?
Matt: I'm doing it right now. (edit) Bill: (runs into Eric and Lucy at the pool hall) Are you following me?
Eric: No, I'm just shooting pool with my daughter.
Bill: So you didn't just show up here to show me what a real father-daughter relationship ought to be?
Eric: Only you can decide what a father-daughter relationship should be. This is just a coincidence.
Bill: A pool-playing minister. I've never heard that one before.
Eric: Well, maybe you need to get out more, Bill.
Bill: (to Lucy) I'm Suzanne's dad. I'm guessing you're in on this, too?
Eric: You don't wanna mess with my kid. (edit) Simon: tTo Ruthie) You may not need me, but you'll miss me. (edit) Eric: (to Lucy) I should ground you, but you're already grounded. (edit)
