  • Elizabeth: Listen, Willie? Willie? You would wind up trailing on my coattails, you would become attached to me like a, uh, a devotee, and you wanna know why? Because I would insist on it, and, Willie, you are better than that! I mean, you have to be better than that, because I insist on that, too!
    Willie: What you're really saying is that you don't want a kid hanging around, that I don't have enough to offer you -- so why don't you just tell me that? edit »
  • Elizabeth: Tell me something... Deep down in your heart, what do you wanna be?
    Willie: Hmmm... That's not fair! That's not fair! Remember, I am just a mysterious stranger that fate has thrown into your path.
    Elizabeth: Mysterious strangers do not drive family station wagons. edit »
  • Elizabeth: Hi, I'm Elizabeth Kraft.
    Nancy: Nancy Maitland. My baby, Timmy... Elizabeth Kraft? You -- you're not the woman who made that film Separate Ways, are you?
    Elizabeth: One and the same. I hope you liked it, I can't stand criticism.
    Nancy: Liked it? Oh, it was wonderful! I was depressed for weeks! edit »
  • Buddy: C'mon, Mom, he deserves a great present! It's not every day a person gets to be 50.
    Kate: What a relief that is. edit »
