After knocking the daylights out of Earl with a frying pan, Baby stars in commercials, putting the Sinclairs into the show-biz spotlight. Earl is fired by the studio and Fran continues to get more into the Hollywood lifestyle, neglecting Earl. After Fran realizes that Earl has finally become close to Monica, now that she is never home, it gets her to reconsider Baby's new 'career'.moreless
Earl: I'm not so sure this is all about the kid anymore, and Monica happens to agree with me.
Fran: You and Monica were talking about me?
Earl: A lot of people are talking about you, Fran, and not all of it's good.
Fran: Just say what you came here to say.
Earl: Allright, I think you're getting just a little too caught up in this thing called show business.
Fran: Anything more?
Earl: Yeah, I got more, plenty more, you say you're doing this for the Baby? Well let me ask you this, who gets a ride in the limo? Who gets the cappuchino? Who gets herself a brand new dress for the awards ceremony?
Fran: You think that's all this is?
Earl: It doesn't matter what I think, it's what you think, and you better think hard.
Edit
Earl: I wish we'd never gotten involved with that corrupt world of money and power. Of course if they hadn't fired me, I wouldn't be saying any of this.
Monica: No Earl, you're right, this is no place for someone like Fran.
Earl: Geeze, you and I actually agree on something, now I'm really depressed.
Edit
Fran: I'm only doing this for the baby's college fund.
Assistant: (holding up two dresses) Mrs. Sinclair, for your awards dinner?
Fran: That one.
Earl: Frannie, he just fired me!
Fran: I realize that, Earl, but it would be irresponsible for me to walk out on the baby's career. I'll need an evening bag to go with that!
Assistant: Right.
Earl: He's a kid, he doesn't need a career!

Home Alone:
Robbie: A baby's family goes on vacation and leaves him home alone? It's just not possible.
This is a reference to the 1990 movie, Home Alone.
