Karen: (to Brian Jr.) You're the luckiest orphan in the world. You know.
(notices her parents looking at her) What? Is orphan not PC anymore? What should I say instead?
Brian: He is not an orphan.
Karen: Hum?
Letitia: Your brother Brian is his father.
Karen: Oh? Really? (to Brian Jr.) Sorry. (edit) Simon Elder: You know, I've been, I've been following your career from a distance for many years now.
Nick: Yeah?
Simon Elder: Yeah, and I've always felt that we're cut from the same cloth, you and me.
Nick: In what way exactly?
Simon Elder: We're both trying to take the advantages we've been given in life and share them with those less-fortunate. That sound like you?
Nick: Yeah, on a good day.
Simon Elder: That sounds like me too on a good day. (edit) Karen: Sweetie, I don't think, I don't think Daddy wants you to take the plane again. Jet fuel doesn't grow on trees. (edit) Brian: (reading from a book) "Honesty. Of all the sins that hurt God's feelings, lying is the worst of all. In big ways and small ways, lying eats away at the heart God gave us and leaves us empty and sad. If we're gonna be happy and go to heaven, we have to tell the truth." Well, I don't think we have to tell the truth all the time. I think there are important exceptions. (holding the book up) But these are good thoughts. These are definitely good thoughts. (edit) Lisa: What are you doing tomorrow?
Nick: Lisa, it's just another day of me implementing my immense knowledge of American jurisprudence instead of doing my charitable work.
Lisa: Meaning?
Nick: I'm settling a dispute between the twins about who can and can't come to their 25th birthday party.
Lisa: Natalie Kimpton?
Nick: Natalie Kimpton. (edit)

In this episode, Nick's ringtone for Juliet Darling is "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)". Ironically, Juliet ends up crying at her party.
(edit)
All the Darling children inherit 25 million dollars as soon as they turn 25. Patrick bought a summer house in Maine. Karen invested her money while Brian traveled the world for three years.
(edit)
In the beginning of this episode where they supposedly show scenes from previous episodes, Natalie tells Jeremy "I'm pregnant". In the actual episode where they show that scene, her actual line to Jeremy was "You're pregnant".
(edit)
Juliet: Let them eat cake.
This is a misattributed reference to queen Marie Antoinette's response when she was initially confronted by the poverty of the French people. The actual quote was originally attributed to Maria Theresa of Spain, the wife of Louis XIV. (edit)

The BridgeSuperb "Pivotal" This is the episode I have been waiting for. I agree, this is the one that has moved this show from an entertaining series about rich people to a drama about humans with issues,flaws, and true emotions. Continue » Posted Oct 28, 2007 7:26 am PST |
