Dialogue

 * 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.


 * 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] Darling! What happened?
 * Phillip: Nothing.
 * Helen: Who did that to you?
 * Phillip: One of the kids. [points at Sister Mary] *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.
