      • Philip: ...The kids have this ridiculous idea that you're planning to send them away to school in some other country. Diane: What's ridiculous about it? Philip: Excuse me? I want to meet your kids; I want my kids to meet your kids... Diane: Philip, with five kids in the house, we'd never have any time alone. Philip: Well, one day they'll grow up and be on their own, but for now I want to spend as much time as I can with them. Diane: Philip, that's a lovely sentiment, but terribly old-fashioned...I'm just not the sort of parent who likes being chained to children. Philip: "Chained?" Even though it hasn't always been a cakewalk, I've always thought of raising kids as a joy and a privilege - never as a chore. Edit
      • Arnold: Mr. D. would rather take some dumb birds and bees on his honeymoon than us. Edit
      • Diane: Arnold, when a man takes a woman out on the balcony, he doesn't show her a telescope. Arnold: What's he show her then? Philip: The moon. Arnold: At her age, shouldn't she have seen the moon by now? Edit
