Quotes

Frank: [narrating] It was a typical wedding: enemies of the bride on the right, enemies of the groom on the left.

Jean: You mean he doesn't know about us?

Helen: Well. Of course he does, Darling!

Jean: All of us?

Colleen: Oh, Mother. That's so romantic! You lied to him!

Helen: I did not lie to him! I just didn't have the nerve to tell him the whole truth!

Colleen: Mmm, I understand! No man wants a liaison with a woman with eight children!

Janette: What's a liaison?

Colleen: An affair.

Janette: That's what I thought.

Jean: Me too.

Phillip: I'm legal!

Mary: I got there as fast as I could, Sister Mary. What is it this time?

Mary: Why don't you ask Phillip?

Helen: Phillip?

[Phillip turns around, revealing a black eye]

Helen: Darling! What happened?

Phillip: Nothing.

Helen: Who did that to you?

Phillip: One of the kids.

[points at Sister Mary]

Phillip: *She* started it. She says I'm not legal.

Helen: What?

Phillip: And Mike isn't my brother.

Helen: Of course he's your brother.

Phillip: Then my name's Phillip Beardsley.

Mary: Phillip North.

Phillip: There she goes again.

Mary: Sister, couldn't you - couldn't you just call him Phillip Beardsley?

Mary: I'm sorry, but the school requires that we use their legal names.

Phillip: Let's go to another school.

Helen: Sister, I, uh... I understand your legal problem, but you must try to understand mine. You see, I'm trying to bring two families together, and this is the first sign that I may be succeeding. So, I really would appreciate it if you'd let Phillip sign his name Beardsley.

Mary: But legally, it's North.

Mary: But it's more important that emotionally, it's Beardsley.

Mary: North.

Helen: Beardsley.

Mary: North!

Helen: Beardsley, Beardsley, Beardsley!

Phillip: Watch out, Mom. You might get a black eye.
