Episode Quotes
 
Dana: Oh god, I hope I get this. An entire summer in a court room going over legal briefs.
(Frank walks into the room undetected)
Rich: Well you know if you need some practice you can go over my briefs.
Frank: I'll go over your briefs pal...with my truck.
 
(Dana reacts to Lilly passing her first test)
Dana: Ice cream? Goody? Mom, Frank you're missing the big picture here. You've got a six year old that's already smarter than the both of you.
 
Frank: Wait a minute, wait a minute I have an idea. Al, I read in TV Guide that a lot of stars of telelvision shows hide there lines around the set. Thnose two big stars on Dallas did it all the time.
Al: Like you couldn't tell.
