(Alyssa is her daddys daughter.)

Alyssa: Yesterday, when the cookies came out of the oven, I liked them, but usually I just don't like cookies.

Carrie: Oh, are you not a cookie person? What kinds of things do you like?

Alyssa: Cow tongue, prime rib, pears, pineapples, um...cow tongue, and plums.

Carrie: Good morning, Batman.

Ethan: No, I Ethan, Mama.

February 6, 2009 (Brian)

Carrie: Do you want to rent "Australia" tonight?

Brian: That sounds a little ambitious to me. New Zealand would be more in my budget.

February, 2009 (Papa)

Papa: Ethan sure loves to sing.

Grandma Roses: Well, think about it. Carrie has always been a good singer. Alyssa's a good singer. It makes perfect sense that he's a good singer, too.

Papa: Alyssa's not just a singer - she's the whole production.

February, 2009 (Ethan)

Carrie: Thank you Ethan. You are such a gentleman.

Ethan: Mm-Hhmm.

Carrie: Do you know what a gentleman is?

Ethan: Mm-Hhmm. Opens doors.

(Concerning Marcus, who was messing up Alyssa's fort)

I wish we could take him to the orphanage, but I just love him too much.

Ethan: No.

Carrie: Don't you want dinner?

Ethan: No, Mom.

Carrie: (thinking...) Do you want lunch?

Ethan: Yes, lunch.

Carrie: Okay, we'll make lunch then.
