  Bill Warren : I went sane.

  Hannah Warren : Sane? My God, how boring.

• Bill Warren : Mate-wise? Mate-wise I'm seeing a very nice girl.

  Hannah Warren : Are you? Seeing her to where?

• Bill Warren : Jenny is our daughter. Ours.

  Hannah Warren : Maybe. We'll see. They've been a little slow with the blood tests.

• Hannah Warren : I suppose if Jenny stays she'll grow up to look like that. Blonde hair. Blonde teeth. Blonde life.

• Hannah Warren : [sarcastically]  I love your California clothes.

• Bill Warren : Would you like to know what Jenny has to say about you?

  Hannah Warren : She told me. She thinks I'm a son-of-a-bitch. She also thinks I'm a funny - son-of-a-bitch. She loves me; but, she doesn't like me. She's afraid of me. She's intimidated by me. She respects me; but, she doesn't want to become like me. We have a perfectly normal mother-daughter relationship.

• Bill Warren : Why didn't you ever run for office, Hannah? I always thought you'd a made a helluva Governor.

  Hannah Warren : No, what?

  Bill Warren : No, sir.

• Bill Warren : Do you really think she has that devious a mind?

  Hannah Warren : Of course - she's my daughter!

• Bill Warren : You're not the same woman I left nine years ago.

  Hannah Warren : And I have the missing ovaries to prove it!

• Bill Warren : This is a new color for you: vulnerable.

  Hannah Warren : Well, take a picture of it, 'cause you're not going to see it again.

• Bill Warren : If we're going to banter like this give me a minute. After nine years I'm a little rusty.

  Hannah Warren : Oh, don't worry. You'll pick it right up again. It's like french. See, that's what I'd miss if I ever left New York. The bantering.

  Bill Warren : San Francisco's only an hour away. we go up there and banter in emergencies.

  Hannah Warren : I never liked San Francisco. I was always afraid I'd fall out of bed and roll down one of those hills.

  Bill Warren : Not you, Hannah. You roll up hills.

  Hannah Warren : Oh, good. You're bantering; the flight out wasn't a total loss.

• Hannah Warren : I'm out of cigarettes. I can't be expected to give up my daughter and cigarettes in the same day.

  Room Service : Yes, ma'am.

  Hannah Warren : Is it possible just to rent a couple of drinks?

• Hannah Warren : Can you save the erotic conversation until it can do us both some good?

• Hannah Warren : Your tan, of course, is perfect. I always wondered how you got the back of your ears so dark.

  Bill Warren : You put the top of your car down and drive away from the Sun.

• Hannah Warren : You have changed, Billy. You know, you don't get rattled as easily as you used to.

  Bill Warren : Well, they don't have as many rattlers out here.

  Hannah Warren : Maybe this lunch won't be as dull as I thought.

• Hannah Warren : No cigarettes either?

  Bill Warren : No. I gave them up eight years ago.

  Hannah Warren : Don't you miss the coughing and the hacking in the morning?

• Hannah Warren : Our past sins do have a way of catching up with us.

• Hannah Warren : I don't know if your bitterness is because Jenny ran away or if because she ran away to somebody whose life style epitomizes everything you consider cheap and banal.

  Bill Warren : I don't have a life style. I have a life.

• Bill Warren : She's not happy in New York, Hannah.

  Hannah Warren : Nobody's happy in New York but they're alive.

  Bill Warren : What a snob you are.

  Hannah Warren : Thank God there's a few of us left.

• Bill Warren : If you respect Jenny as a person, you respect her right to make a free choice.

  Hannah Warren : You get her for the summers, that's enough. It takes me the other ten months of the year to get the seaweed out of her brains.

• Hannah Warren : Despite her Gothic reports, she is not living the life of Jane Eyre.

• Hannah Warren : Why do men have to get better looking when they get older. Remind me to bring it up with the Equal Rights Commission.

• Bill Warren : This is an event. It's the first time in my life that I have seen you so nervous.

  Hannah Warren : I'm not nervous. I'm scared to death.
