- [Doorbell rings]
- Toni: [pregnant] If that's you mama it's open, if not, I've got a gun.
- Toni: I'm actually looking forward to the visit. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but I could actually use a little mommy and me time.
- Joan: We are still talking about the same Veretta Childs who embarasses you by wearing a polyester pant-suit and asking for the early-bird special at Spago right?
- Toni: Yea, I know it's odd but I feel like being babied before I have this baby. Of course... Veretta never was a story time, tucking in momma, being narcasistic, crazy drunk and all. Aw mamma, good times.
- Todd: You spent $2500 on shoes and playing meilleur casino?
- Toni: Boots, Todd. I'm not crazy.
- [Maya is accusing Darnell of cheating on her with his co-worker at the airport]
- Maya: Joan said she saw you down at the airport with some woman.
- Darnell: And if Joan had stayed there she would have seen me down there with a lot of women... that didn't come out right.
- Joan: My mother always said, "When love runs out on you, God sends you love's equivalent... or better."
- Toni: I thought she said, "When you run out of love's lubricant, use butter."
- Joan: What?
- Toni: What? Your momma does mumble. And we both know she's a freak.
- Darnell: We're just not clicking the way we used to.
- Maya: Maybe we should pray about it.
- Darnell: What?
- Maya: A family that prays together, stays together.
- Darnell: All right, you pray, I'm going to bed.
- Maya: Baby, be angry at me. Don't be angry at the Lord.
- [reciting a poem to make the girls forgive him for something he did]
- William: This Charlie can't fly without his angels.
- Toni: [on converting to Judaism] I'm already on standby for heaven as it is. I'm not straying from the path I've chosen.
- Maya: Thanks for watching my little man, Toni.
- Toni: No problem. Jamal is a very wise young man.
- Maya: Toni, his name is Jabari.

- Shelby: Has Enron taught you nothing?
- Toni: Shelby, I want my employees to show some initiative but only when I tell them to.
- Maya: See, Joan, I told you. Actors aren't smart... and they steal... Winona Ryder... I rest my case.
- Maya: [recounting story of Jabari as a newborn] Let's just say LA Transit gets a bad rap. Because they do return lost items.
- Toni: You left Jingle-Jangle on the bus?
- Maya: No! I left Jingle-Jangle at the bus stop.
- Toni: Maya, how'd you get so smart?
- Maya: Oh, girl, I'm an authoress. I gots to know stuff.
- Toni: I guess you don't "gots" to know grammar.
- Maya: At least I didn't miss my baby's first doctor's appointment!
- Toni: At least I didn't leave my baby on the bus!

- Julie: Soho?
- Maya: I said yeah, bitch!
- Julie: Okay, you know what I'm just trying to do my job, I'm trying to meet your needs. I love your book and I don't know why you feel the need to come in and attack me.
- Maya: What did I do to you?
- Julie: You called me a bitch.
- Maya: You called me a ho!
- Julie: OK... Soho is a neighborhood.
- Maya: Jabari, I said get up and take out the trash now.
- Jabari: [mumbling] What, are your legs broke?
- Maya: No, but your ass is about to be!
- Maya: [Talking to Toni] Kiss is a noun and a verb, so you can either give my ass a kiss or kiss my ass!
- Maya: [to Lynn] If you keep eating my Christmas cookies,I will slap you into a silent night!
- Joan: It looks like he got this stuff from the side of the road.
- Lynn: Hey! That's where I got my loveseat!
- Lynn: So, Maya asked you to be on her panel too Toni?
- Toni: Did you not hear me say a panel of successful black women?
