Episode Quotes
 
Sandy: Facing Kirsten and Julie has got to be better than going to jail.
Caleb: Kirsten maybe. Not Julie.
 
Seth: (singing) Moses and Jesus, they both had beards.
 
Kirsten: I thouight you and Jimmy were getting along really well.
Julie: Oh really. What makes you say that?
Kirsten: Because last week you said you and Jimmy were getting along really well.
 
(Everyone's standing in the kitchen in awkward silence after they find out Caleb is Lindsay's father)
Seth: Good thing the kitchen's roomy.
(Everyone turns and stares at Seth)
 
Seth: Father! Where are we going to find some Jews in Orange County?
Sandy: Leave me out of it.
Kirsten: Oy, humbug.
Seth: Oy, humbug.
 
Seth: (to Lindsay) Congratulations. You're a Cohen. Welcome to a world of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.
 
Seth: The Chrismukkah backlash, What if it's getting too big and commercial...It's like it started out as this really cool, cult holiday, flying under the cultural radar and then all of the sudden it crosses over. Then there's too much pressure. I mean can it really be the next Thanksgiving? Can it top Halloween?
 
Kirsten: Julie are you okay? You seem a little frazzled.
Julie: Yeah, well, I didn't get to blow my hair out this morning so ...
Kirsten: I said frazzled, not frizzy.
