- Melinda Monroe: You look very natural with a baby.
- Hope McCrea: Please. Children are too much work. I decided to raise husbands instead.
- Melinda Monroe: Oh, yeah. How'd that work out for you?
- Hope McCrea: [chuckles] One was my soul mate. One was the bane of my existence. And one was the best three months of my life.
- Melinda Monroe: Credence?
- Jack Sheridan: Well, I figured it was better than AC/DC.
- Melinda Monroe: Oh, really? 'Cause "Ride on" always put me right to sleep.
- Jack Sheridan: Who are you?
- Melinda Monroe: I'm a nurse who knows her metal.
- Hope McCrea: Look, you've relegated her to coffee and filing, and that's not doing anyone any good.
- Doc Mullins: Well, everyone's got to start somewhere.
- Hope McCrea: She's a nurse, not a secretary.
- Doc Mullins: If she came crying to you, what she is is city-soft. It's a good thing we found out early.
- Hope McCrea: In her old job, she used to deal with dope fiends and criminals, but it's you she can't work with. Think about that.
- Doc Mullins: Yeah. I'm thinking.
- Hope McCrea: It's rude to keep a lady waiting.
- Doc Mullins: It's rude coming in someone's office without knocking.
- Hope McCrea: Your door was open. Okay. We've got big trouble.
- Doc Mullins: Yeah. An abandoned baby.
- Hope McCrea: No, I was talking about Mel. Wait. Someone abandoned that baby?
- Melinda Monroe: Joey, you know, when I do leave, I'm not coming back to LA.
- Joey Barnes: What are you talking about? Of course you're coming back!
- Melinda Monroe: No. Joey, there's too many memories there.
- Joey Barnes: No, this is your home. You have family and friends here who love you.
- Melinda Monroe: You don't understand.
- Joey Barnes: You're right. I don't. I don't understand why you're pushing everyone away. It's like you don't wanna feel better.
- Jack Sheridan: I'm here for a latte.
- Paige Lassiter: I never thought I'd see the day I'd steam milk for you.
- Jack Sheridan: No, not for me. For Mel.
- Paige Lassiter: Aah. Suddenly, everything seems right in the world again.
- Jack Sheridan: But you know what? Let's make it two.
- Melinda Monroe: You're a good man.
- Jack Sheridan: And you're a good woman.
- Melinda Monroe: I don't think my sister would agree with you. We didn't have the best phone call.
- Jack Sheridan: Don't beat yourself up. You've been under a lot of stress. Look, I've got four sisters. I know how they can be.
- Melinda Monroe: Well, she practically raised me, so she's used to bossing me around. She's a force of nature.
- Jack Sheridan: Obviously runs in the family.
- Melinda Monroe: I don't know what I'm more surprised at, that you built a batting cage for yourself in the middle of the woods, or that I'm holding a bat and wearing a helmet. Are we really doing this?
- Jack Sheridan: How do you usually burn off stress?
- Melinda Monroe: I run.
- Jack Sheridan: One of those people, huh?
- Melinda Monroe: What is that supposed to mean?
- Jack Sheridan: You know, 'those people'. People who constantly crave productivity. My theory is that runners are the same people who stress clean.
- Jack Sheridan: Jesus, you're one of the most forgiving people I know. But not when it comes to Brady.
- John 'Preacher' Middleton: Well, he may have you fooled, but not me. Hell, he thinks any straight job is beneath him.
- Jack Sheridan: Well, he's here. He's trying.
- John 'Preacher' Middleton: You really think he's changed?
- Doc Mullins: I can see if Connie or Lilly can keep the baby tonight.
- Melinda Monroe: Well, you should know that the baby is still rejecting the bottle.
- Doc Mullins: In my experience, a baby will eat when they're ready. She'll be okay for one more night.
