Quotes 

• Laura Kinney : [Upon finally seeing all three clones for the first time in the car next to her]  You know how you can tell when you really love someone? When everyone you see reminds you of him.

• Doug Kinney : Hon, let's sail to Catalina.

  Laura Kinney : What?

  Doug Kinney : Come on, it'll be great. We'll sail right into the harbor at sunset. We'll bring some wine, we'll make love right on the boat. It'll be great.

  Laura Kinney : Doug, you don't sail.

  Doug Kinney : But I drink and make love. The sailing thing, you know, I can figure that out. How hard can it be?

• Doug Kinney #3 : [in the kitchen, #3 takes over from Laura, obsessing over how to wrap up leftover meatloaf]  Honey, may I do that? Do you mind?

  Laura Kinney : This?

  Doug Kinney #3 : Yeah. I just wanna show you something. See. First of all, this piece of aluminum foil is too small. See? It can't cover it all. What's gonna happen? Air's going to get in there and then you get that little hard crust around the meat. It gets real brown and dark and nobody wants to eat that. So, I'm gonna fold this up and I'm gonna save this. Because we can use it later. Or, Christmastime comes around, we might make ourselves a nice ornament outta that or something. That's what I like to do. And by the way, save those fries. 'Cause I'm thinking of stringing them, and we'll paint them up or something, we'll just string them around the tree. Christmas time. Kids are gonna love that. Okay, now. Here, look here. Okay, we'll take a new, fresh piece. Okay? Okay. Now I'm gonna fold it up on one side, like that. Make sure we're even. And then I fold once. I fold twice or three times - whatever you need to fold it. But I don't like to roll it. Sometimes people just roll it over, but I don't like that because then you get that lump right across the center, it rolls around in the fridge and everything. I like to fold it down so it's nice and flat, and no air gets in there. Because what? Air's our enemy, isn't it? And then - then take this. Tuck, tuck, fold. T.T.F. Tuck, tuck, fold. Two tucks and a fold. I just think of Elizabeth Taylor. Then I was remembering tuck here, fold there, you know, makes it simple. Okay, now roll it over, nice and flat. There we go. We got it. No air is gonna get in there. Okay. We could send this little guy off to NASA and nothing would happen. Look here. Okay, now put the lid on, burp. There you go and there you are.

  Laura Kinney : That's very nice. It's very nice.

• Laura Kinney : I feel like I don't know you anymore. And it scares me, Doug. You know, you go along, day after day, and you tell yourself that your problems aren't serious. They're normal. You know, they - they happen to everyone. Or you hope that they'll just go away by themselves, but they don't. It's like this house. You always said you would fix it up. No matter what it was, "I'll fix it," you said. But nothing ever gets fixed. Doug. I need to know what you're feeling. I need to know if you still love me. Doug, please just - tell me what you want.

  Doug Kinney #4 : I want pizza.

  Laura Kinney : What?

  Doug Kinney #4 : I want pizza. Give me some pizza.

• Laura Kinney : Want some?

  [licking chocolate off a spoon] 

  Doug Kinney #2 : Yuuuuup. Yup!

  [Doug #2 licks the spoon, Laura kisses him] 

  Laura Kinney : Mmm. You taste good.

  Doug Kinney #2 : You taste pretty good yourself.

  Laura Kinney : [licks her lips, kisses Doug #2]  Mmm, remember when we used to make love all over the house?

• Laura Kinney : [after making love to Doug #3, after an earlier session with Doug #2]  Phew! That was athletic. It's better than the StairMaster.

  Doug Kinney #2 : Yeah, well, I guess I got a little carried away.

• Doug Kinney : That wasn't me.

  Laura Kinney : That's just the point. You've been acting like a lunatic lately.

  Doug Kinney : Listen, I - I just got a little confused about who I was. That's all. All right, I got real confused about who I was.

• Doug Kinney : I'm sorry. I totally forgot. My fault. Was she upset?

  Laura Kinney : Of course. Every other father was there. Including the divorced ones.

  Doug Kinney : What about the lesbian moms?

  Laura Kinney : Both of them.

• Laura Kinney : You missed Campfire Girls.

  Doug Kinney : Honey, I'm not in Campfire Girls. I'm a Brownie.

• Doug Kinney : Hey, this is stupid. Look, here's all we need. We just need to get a schedule. We'll be okay.

  Laura Kinney : We don't need a schedule. We need a miracle.

• Laura Kinney : And you trust him?

  Doug Kinney : Oh, yeah. Yeah, I trust him. I trust him like I trust myself, really.

• Laura Kinney : Oh, Doug.

  [puts her arms around Doug] 

  Laura Kinney : Let's get the kids to bed early tonight.

  Doug Kinney : What time is it now?

  Laura Kinney : Uh, 6:15.

  Doug Kinney : Kids, bedtime!

  [kisses] 

• Doug Kinney : Laura, this just isn't working out.

  Laura Kinney : What?

  Doug Kinney : This new arrangement, you know. I'm not getting anything done. I'm not getting any work done. And all I do is, you know, I cook and I do laundry, you know. And I pick up the kids and drop off the kids, I dress the kids and undress the kids and I clean up after them.

  Laura Kinney : I've been doing that for ten years. You've been doing it for a month.

  Doug Kinney : Yeah, I know, but, you know, it comes more naturally to you.

  Laura Kinney : How so?

  Doug Kinney : Hon, you're a nurturer, you know. You are. And first of all, you got the two X-chromosomes, and I have a couple of - I don't know what I have - but it's scientifically proven. Honey, that's why you have breasts. You know, I don't. I mean, look at me. I got nothing.

• Laura Kinney : [naked, in bed, afterglow]  That was so - unusual. I've never seen you cry like that before.

  Doug Kinney #3 : No. You know, that one time when the soufflé fell...

• Laura Kinney : God, Doug, you're driving me crazy! I call the office and you bite my head off. Other times you're as sweet as can be. And then one minute you're obsessing about every little detail. And then the next you seem so completely out of it, like you don't even know what I'm talking about. What is going on with you?

  Doug Kinney : Nothing. Nothing's wrong with me. Absolutely nothing's wrong with me.

  Laura Kinney : Oh, my God, Doug. You could have bipolar disorder or multiple personalities.

• Laura Kinney : You're drenched! Oh, honey, I am so sorry. Come upstairs. I don't know what I was thinking, sending you out in the rain without you feeling good? Oh, sweetie, you're soaking. Come on and get out of those wet clothes. Oh, my goodness, you're just - oh - wet. Let me dry you off. I'm so sorry. I was so, so selfish. Let me help you with those pants.

  [disrobes Doug #4] 

  Laura Kinney : Wow! Again?

  [smiles] 

  Laura Kinney : Well, Doug...

  Doug Kinney #4 : My peppy.

  Laura Kinney : I see. Oh.

  [kiss] 

  Laura Kinney : Okay.
