I'll talk to my friends.
	Season 4 / Episode 23: - The Puppy Episode (2) Ellen Morgan: Do you think this is a bad idea? Telling people that I'm gay? Peter Barnes: Believe me, Ellen. Telling people is always hard. I remember when I came out to my parents. It was one summer when I was back in school. I sat them down on our couch and said to them: "Mom, Dad, I've struggled with this for a long time. But this is who I am. Now, I can only hope you can be happy for me." For the rest of the summer, they remained silent. But the following autumn when I entered kindergarten, they were 100% behind me.
	Season 4 / Episode 23: - The Puppy Episode (2) Therapist: Have you ever had this dream before? Ellen Morgan: Oh, not in a grocery store. Usually, I'm in a hardware store having lesbian keys made up. Therapist: Ellen, these dreams mean that your inner guilt about denying who you are is eating away at you. If you keep this to yourself, you're just going to continue having these dreams. And then it's going to start showing up in your waking life as these little clues that start getting more and more obvious, and eventually... tiresome.

Joe Farrell: Well, Madeline is a little older than I am. I didn't want to be judged on something so irrevelent as age. Ellen Morgan: Joe, who am I to judge anybody on relationships? I only hope that if one day I have a slightly odd relationship, you will not judge me.
	Season 4 / Episode 14: - Joe's Kept Secret Ellen Morgan: I'm really happy for you. Joe Farrell: Well... thanks. It finally feels great to get this out in the open. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to keep this a secret? Living a lie? Scared of what others might think about you? Ellen Morgan: No.
	Season 4 / Episode 11: - Bowl, Baby, Bowl Ellen Morgan: [opening lines] Well, let's see... the first time... I was with a man. And then I was with a woman for a little while. Then, I was with a man again. Then... another man. Let's see... then woman... woman... man... woman... and then another man. And lately I'm beginning to think that it doesn't really matter if it's a man or a woman. It's the person that counts. But one thing I know for sure is that I cannot keep going from therapist to therapist like this.
	Season 2 / Episode 24: - Thirty Kilo Man (2) Ellen Morgan: You want to go and see a movie? Batman 3? Paige Clark: My idea? Ellen Morgan: You know, I'm going to be in a movie this summer.

	Season 2 / Episode 22: - The Therapy Episode Lois Morgan: Ellen... I really wish that you would get married. I really want grandchildren. Ellen Morgan: [sarcastic] No? Oh my god, I will then! Lois Morgan: Good, because I want you to carry on what I... Ellen Morgan: [interupting; angry tone] Mom, I know you want me to get married. You say that EVERY time we talk. Ever time we talk on the phone, every time we talk from every birthday card or letter I get from you. Well here's the thing: I don't need a man to make my life complete. I am not going to have the high-paying job you want me to have. I'm not going to date the men you want me to date. I'm not going to wear the clothes you want me to wear. I'm not going to style my hair the same way you style it. All those things are what YOU want, not me. Stop trying to run my life! It's my life and I'm going to run it my way. Just face it, all those things are what you've done. I am not you! I will never be you! Lois Morgan: [shaken] Okay... well who's up for the next... oh, who am I kidding? [to Harold] Come on Harold, let's go home where we don't have to be honest with each other!
	Season 2 / Episode 22: - The Therapy Episode Ellen Morgan: How about you? Do you have anything you want to tell me? Lois Morgan: Not off the top of my head, no... Ellen Morgan: Oh c'mon, not even one little white lie? Lois Morgan: Not all of us are as immersed in deceit as you are, dear.

I met the brother-in-law of the ex-boyfriend of the courtroom stenographer and she says: "no way". Ellen Morgan: Yeah, well my dry cleaner, and I give him a lot of business so that he's not about to lie to me, his cousin works in the prison laundry and he met the ex-wife of one of his golfing buddies and ex-football teammates who said that he said that he really did it. Paige Clark: What did he say exactly? Ellen Morgan: I don't know. "Yep, I did it. I killed her. What more can I say?" Or... something like that.
	Season 2 / Episode 14: - The Apartment Hunt Paige Clark: I have our whole day worked out. We're going hiking at Topengia Canyon, and then going to the beach. Ellen Morgan: I can't. I'm going apartment hunting with Audrey. Paige Clark: Audrey? Blow her off. Ellen Morgan: I can't. I don't like her enough. Paige Clark: But you just blew me off. Ellen Morgan: That's 'cause I like you. I don't feel guilty when I blow you off. Belive me, if I didn't like you, if we weren't so close, I'd spend so much time with you.
