- Jill: [explaining the links in the ecosystem] See, in India, they have rats, but not too many, because they have snakes that eat the rats, but not too many, because they have mongooses that eat the snakes. And if one link is missing, the whole thing falls apart.
- Tammy: What does that have to do with Wendy accidentally unplugging her refrigerator?
- Jill: Wendy is the rat, and she's rambling on because the snake has been home the last few days tending to our little blonde mongoose.
- Tammy: ....Oh! It's a metaphor!
- Bonnie: I brought the TV up so you can watch it.
- Christy: But we don't have a cable thing up here.
- Bonnie: So we don't. Back downstairs.
- [gets halfway out the room with the TV]
- Christy: Know what you could do?
- Bonnie: [steps back in] What?
- Christy: You could bring the DVD player up here and we could watch that.
- Bonnie: Okay, that's a good idea, a movie marathon with the two DVDs we own.
- Christy: Yay, Dirty Dancing first, and then Sheena Easton's 7 Minute Abs.
- Marjorie: We came to see how everything's going.
- Bonnie: [after the tub overflowed] Great, really great!
- Jill: Why are you all wet?
- Bonnie: Because everything's bad! Really bad!
- [breaks down]
- Bonnie: I TRIED! I tried to be a good mom, and I yelled at Christy, I yelled at my sick kid! I'm a monster!
- Marjorie: Bonnie, even the best mom in the world loses it sometimes.
- Christy: [covered in sweat] You know what I'd really like?
- Bonnie: Soup?
- Christy: A bath.
- Bonnie: I don't know, I think we need to wait until your fever goes down. Why don't you eat some soup?
- Christy: Bath!
- Bonnie: Soup.
- Christy: Can I take a bath in the soup?
- Bonnie: Hey, if it makes you feel better, I haven't had a bath, a shower, or a full night's sleep for the last three days.
- Christy: Why would that make me feel better?
- Bonnie: I make her 27 cups of tea a day, I make soup and nobody eats it, I've been sleeping on the floor right beside her incase she needs me. I took a look under the bed, I think I know *why* Christy's sick.
