- Gary Shepherd: [anxious about becoming a parent] What if he doesn't like me?
- Michael Steadman: Oh. He'll love you. That's the amazing thing; unconditional love. They're too little to judge you, and they're too stupid. That's why they get screwed up later.
- Gary Shepherd: Sounds like the way my father raised me.
- Nancy Krieger Weston: You look great.
- Susannah Hart: Right. I haven't seen my feet for a month. You have to put my shoes on with butter.
- Ellyn Warren: Try margarine. It's less caloric.
- Michael Steadman: [Susannah is in the hospital] How's she doing?
- Gary Shepherd: Well, they want to get her started on Pitocin.
- Michael Steadman: Oh, really? That's rough.
- Gary Shepherd: Yeah.
- Michael Steadman: Well, how are the contractions?
- Gary Shepherd: She's getting through them all right. Man, now I know why they call it labor.
- Michael Steadman: Yeah. Has she yelled at you yet for getting her pregnant?
- Gary Shepherd: No.
- Michael Steadman: No? Ah. Sometimes they do that.
