Episode Quotes

Celia Hodes: I was thinking of going bigger.
Nancy Botwin: Bigger?
Celia Hodes: Really big, like freak show big: 47 triple F's. So large that other smaller breasts will want to orbit them.
Erma the Faith Healer: Would you like me to smell you next?
Nancy Botwin: No, thank you, I was... smelled yesterday.
Nancy Botwin: Andy, today, it was brought to my attention today that the downside of this business is death, so right now, I'm not thinking about the bakery. I'm thinking about enrolling in dental hygeine school so my children aren't orphans.
Andy Botwin: If anything happens to you, I will raise Silas and Shane as my own.
Nancy Botwin: [laughs] Now I pledge *never* to die.

  • Goof (revealing mistake): After the drive-by shooting, Conrad is seen sweeping the floor but his broom isn't touching the floor, which is visible under the table.
  • Goof (continuity error): In the scene where Shane tells Nancy that he was sent to the school psychiatrist for writing a "gangsta rap" depicting the death of a classmate, Nancy quotes the rap when she is scolding Shane, but she hadn't even seen the lyrics.
