• Kendall Ryan : You're part of a family, Carly, and that means you love each other even when you can't stand each other, and you give a shit even when you don't give a shit.

• Kendall Ryan : [as Brent bandages her gunshot]  You got a gun? Another thing for your midlife crisis? What was the combination?

  Brent Ryan : Josh's birthday.

  [cut to Josh solving the combination] 

• Kendall Ryan : You bought a pool table?

  Brent Ryan : Yeah, so?

  Kendall Ryan : You don't even like pool. Can I ask how much this cost?

  Brent Ryan : Don't worry about it.

  Kendall Ryan : I kind of *have* to worry about it. I mean Christmas is coming up, do you really think that this is the right time to start building a man cave in the basement?

  Brent Ryan : It's not a man cave, Kendall. I just thought, you know, like, like a family room.

  Kendall Ryan : The whole house is a family room.

  Brent Ryan : Okay, you see, I got a problem with that idea right there, because I bust my ass 6 days a week trying to pay this place down, and it's like a fucking obstacle course trying to get out the fucking front door. I mean one of these days, I'm gonna trip over one of Josh's toys and take a nose dive straight to the ER.

  Kendall Ryan : What are you saying?

  Brent Ryan : I'm saying maybe we need to have some boundaries, I'm saying maybe there needs to be a fucking grown up zone, and a fucking kids' zone!

• Kendall Ryan : [Stops breaking down the door as the doorbell rings]  Your parents?

  Brent Ryan : That was today?

• Kendall Ryan : Honey, your grandparents are coming for dinner tonight, remember?

  Carly : Mom, really?

  Kendall Ryan : What? You haven't seen them in months and they're not getting any younger, you know, so the 'movie' can wait.

  Carly : Awesome, you and Grandma passive aggressively bitching at each other, and Grandpa telling his disgusting Vietnam stories. 'Pulled it out and killed the Charlie bastard with his own pigsticker!'

  Kendall Ryan : Carly!

  [to Sun-Yi] 

  Kendall Ryan : I am so sorry.

  Sun-Yi : -M gan yiu, Mrs. Ryan, I'm the Chinese, Chinese is not the Charlie.

• Kendall Ryan : You know, I want to trust you, Carly, really I do, your dad and I both do, but you don't make it easy on us when you shut us out.

  [Carly stares at her phone] 

  Kendall Ryan : Do you mind not Facebooking when we're driving together? It's really the only time we have just the two of us.

  Carly : 'Facebooking'?

  Kendall Ryan : You know what I mean.

  Carly : Yeah, whatever.

  Kendall Ryan : You know, I really, really hate it when you say that.

  [Carly ignores her] 

  Kendall Ryan : Amazing. Everything just revolves around you, doesn't it?

  Carly : Doesn't everyone's world revolve around themselves? Who else should it revolve around?

  Kendall Ryan : Well you're part of a family, Carly, it means that you love each other even when you can't stand each other, and that you give a shit even when you don't really give a shit.

• Kendall Ryan : You could have a new cousin today, that is a big deal, and all you can think about is... you know, I don't even know what you think about, because you don't tell me anything. We used to be best friends, remember?

  Carly : Okay well, that's not the case anymore, Mom, I have other friends.

  Kendall Ryan : Right, see it's just for me, you and Josh are everything. So you don't get to just shut me out, okay? It's not fair.

  Carly : God, it's not my fault you have no life!

• Kendall Ryan : [after dance class]  We are so over, I'm dying.

  Barbara : Why do we do it? Killing ourselves to hold back Father Time for what, a few more months?

  Kendall Ryan : Why do anything? I don't know, be healthy I guess.

  Barbara : Be healthy my ass, it's not about being healthy, it's about being hot, and 'hot, skinny bitch' is in our rear view mirror.
