Christine: (to Lindsay and Marly) I haven't been this popular since that nympho rumor went around about me during high school. (turns to Mike) I'm not a nympho—just regular. (edit)
(Christine gets in a car to help a parent)
Mike: Are you affiliated with the school, or is this just a really sexy carjacking?
Christine: No, I'm a parent—a really sexy parent. (edit)
Mike: I'm a little overwhelmed 'cause my wife usually handles all this stuff, but she's out of town on business—really miss her. We've been together forever—you know, high school sweethearts. We have a wonderful life.
Christine: I'm divorced.
Mike: Oh, thank God, me, too. (edit)
Christine: His name is Mike, and he's just like me. We're both single parents; we're both political.
Matthew: You're political?
Christine: Yeah, I have a black boyfriend.
Matthew: When are they going to put you on a stamp? (edit)
Christine: Ritchie's finally come into his own, too. He joined the Handbell Choir.
Matthew: Oh, really, was the Wedgie Club full? (edit)
