Quotes
-
Ana Platypus : But she didn't grow inside of Mrs. Jones, so is she really their baby?
Dr. Bill Platypus : Aye, she is their adopted baby, dear. Betty and James adopted her.
Ana Platypus : Why?
Dr. Bill Platypus : Well because they feel they want to share what they have with the baby.
Ana Platypus : Who did she grow inside of?
Dr. Bill Platypus : Some other woman who just knew that she couldn't take care of her, so she let the Joneses adopt her.
Ana Platypus : Well, I've been wondering something.
Dr. Bill Platypus : What is it, dear?
Ana Platypus : Did you and Mother adopt me?
Dr. Bill Platypus : No. No, we didn't. But even if we had, we would love you just as much.
Ana Platypus : You would?
Dr. Bill Platypus : Of course. When people adopt a child, then that child is part of their family forever.

Ana Platypus : When I grow up, will my babies grow inside of me or will I get my babies the way the Joneses got Carrie Dell?
Dr. Bill Platypus : I don't know, but I think they'll grow inside you. I just hope that some day you will have a child as wonderful as my daughter Ana.
Ana Platypus : And that child will have the best grandfather in the world.
Dr. Bill Platypus : I like it when we can talk like this.
