  • Christine: (to Marly and Lindsay) Listen, I have taken your crap for the last three years, and I'm gonna tell you something. If you ever make Ritchie feel unwelcome, or embarrass him, again, I would be thrilled for the opportunity to kick your sorry, tanned, bleach blond, Botox asses back to your tacky McMansions and your loveless marriages. You got that? edit »
  • (trying on new suits)
    Ritchie: This doesn't fit me. These pants are too big.
    Richard: They'll fix them.
    Ritchie: My weiner itches.
    Richard: That's part of wearing a suit. That's why they give you long pockets. edit »
  • Marly: Oh, yeah, my nanny just went through the change, too.

  • Richard: We agreed that you'd be in charge of health, education, and welfare, and I'd get sports. And learning which fork to use is about as close to sports as this kid's gonna get. edit »
  • The Cream
    Christine is taking a cream that includes testosterone and Matthew mentions that she will have an asterisk next to her name in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. This is a reference to MLB Home Run Champ, Barry Bonds, and 'The 'Cream' that he says he used that did not include steroids or HGH. edit »
  • This title is a reference to fellow CBS show, Two and a Half Men. edit »
