    • Kitty: Have you seen Isaac? Robert: No. Kitty: He is in Iowa, right? Robert: Yes. He did not sleep with your mother, if that's what you're thinking.
    • Sarah: (to Graham) My mother cooked paella. My family imploded.
    • Nora: It must be something in the water or the wine. I cannot get my family together without the roof blowing off. Isaac: It's a lot better than how I grew up. My father taught us to keep our trap shut. Nobody spoke in our house. So consider yourself lucky. It's loud here, but it's the truth. And the truth sets you free.
    • Kitty: Robert doesn't want to have children.
    • Robert: If two people aren't exactly on the same page, does that make it a lie? Kitty: Well, yes, if you're not telling me what it is. Robert: What if I was too scared to talk about it. Kitty: You have never been scared of anything in your life. Robert: Alright, for example, what if... not having a baby now.
    • Kitty: Obviously, in personal relationships, you shouldn't lie. I don't lie to Robert, Robert doesn't lie to me, right? Robert: Um... no. I mean, unless I absolutely have to. ... I'm kidding. I mean, obviously, you can have your convenient misunderstandings... Kitty: What are you trying to say, Robert? Robert: Nothing. Nothing. We never lie to each other. That is a no-brainer.
    • Kitty: Hypothetically, say you know the truth about something, but by saying it, you could potentially seriously hurt someone. Would you do it? (Tense silence around the table.) Kevin: I knew it. Adamson's gay. Kitty: No. No, he is not gay. Not all Republicans are gay.
    • Isaac: Adamson has a son... Robert: And three daughters! And a wife! Travis: And I have an uncle named Bob. What are we talking about here?
    • Robert: (in his speech to the veterans) I didn't think what I did was heroic. And after the war, I just wanted to forget. And then, ironically, by not talking, I was called a hero, a distinction that I never asked for.
    • Holly: And David... My history with him is complicated. Rebecca: Mom, everything with you is complicated. Why are you drawing the line now?
    • Sarah: What's the longest relationship you've ever been in? Graham: Six years. Sarah: Did you ever cheat? Don't lie. Graham: No. Sarah: No? Graham: Of course, technically speaking, it depends on how you define cheating.
    • Sarah: All they've got to do is turn up, eat, and act normal. Kevin: No, why do I have to be involved? Sarah: Because, I'm not supposed to know anything, and I've done a miraculous job of keeping my mouth shut. Please, will you, talk to them. (walks out of Kevin's office) Kevin: (shouts after Sarah) Yeah, I'll talk to them, but.. c'mon, normal? What am I, a miracle worker?
    • Kevin: Who made you my conscience? What are you, Jiminy Cricket? SarahMaybe you need a conscience. All the men in this family could do with a little cricket on their shoulder.
    • Nora: (about Isaac) Alright. I'm into him. That makes me pathetic, right? Sarah: No, mother, no, it makes you cute... Nora: That's worse. Sarah: ...and human. And you have a crush.
    • Sarah: You've always had a thing for Republicans. Nora: You know what, he's not a Republican Republican. He's a self-reliant, historically sensitive, get the job done yourself kind of... Republican.
    • Nora: Remember when you wanted to skateboard in the driveway with Bobby Lampert and you were too nervous to be alone with him, so I pretended to clean out the garage? Sarah: What are you saying, mother? You're too nervous to have a playdate with Isaac?
    • Nora: (to Sarah) Why is it I never see my children all together anymore? Especially not Tommy and Justin. They're like Superman and Clark Kent.
    • Nora (to Isaac): Parenting is so hard.
    • Kevin: What's burning ? Sarah: The rice. Do you know anything about Paëlla ? Kevin: No, all I know is the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
    • Sarah: Oh come on, that is the most confused moral reasoning and your opinion doesn't count because you slept with Lena too. Justin: I'm still sleeping with her.
    • Kevin: Moms really into this guy Issac. Ok? And she thinks as a family we will make a good impression. Deluded, I know. But if she wants us to go over to the house for dinner that is what we have to do. You want to know why? Because she is inches from the truth about you two and Lena. It's like chum in the water for her. She can smell the blood and she is circling.
    • Sarah: I don't know anything. Do you? Kevin: No. Maybe. Sarah: Maybe what? Kevin: Tommy had an affair. Sarah: With Lena. Kevin: You knew? Sarah: For weeks.
    • Nora: (to Julia, regarding Tommy) You can't just sit there and cry. Yell at him or hit him. Hell, I'll come over there and hit him! Julia: I can't Sarah: Yes, you can. Julia: I can't because I did it, too.
    • Kevin: I can't believe I'm being forced to go to a dinner party, just so Mom can impress a Republican she has the hots for. Scotty: You keep saying he's a Republican. I'm far more impressed she might be dating a black man. Kevin: A black Republican. Only my mom.
    • Justin: Uh, not that I don't love thumbing through gay porn… I'm sorry, male clothing catalogs… But what am I doing here, bro? Kevin: Be nice or I'll put you on the mailing list.
    • Kitty: Sometime before we die I'd really like to have… McCallister: Have sex? Kitty: Yeah! McCallister: That'd be great Kitty: Because I really wanna start trying… McCallister: New positions? Kitty: No. Having a baby.
