• Cate : All right, look now. He's here because he had nowhere else to go. So, when he comes out I want everyone to say something nice.

• Cate : Look. I'm sorry. He's still upset because you took away his football.

  Ed Gibb : Cate, he dropkicked it across the cafeteria and into a bath of chocolate pudding.

  Cate : I'll go talk to him.

• Cate : Can I get you something?
