Rick: I don't know why I get so sad at holidays. There's no reason. I have more to be thankful for than almost anybody, and I can admit that... any day of the year except Thanksgiving. (edit)
Peg: That was Rick when he was ten. And he built a fort, remember?
Jessie: Dad? A fort?
Peg: Yes, his father made him draw up the plans for it.
Grace: Is that when you decided to become an architect?
Rick: No, that's when I decided not to. (edit)
Rick: We're gonna have a nice dysfunctional holiday dinner like all good Americans.
Peg: I can't wait. (edit)
Rick: You know how I feel about this, okay, so don't put yourself in the middle.
Peg: I haven't said a word in four years.
Rick: Trust me, the silence has been deafening. (edit)
Peg: It's a teenagers right to ruin his future. (edit)

"Series classic"
Perhaps the show's finest hour; Should have won Barbara Barrie a guest actress Emmy.
