5---> '''Paul:''' You could have knocked.

10--> '''Bridget:''' (''notices Kerry wearing her earrings'') First you steal my popularity and now my earrings?
11--> '''Kerry:''' You forgot about your boyfriend.
12--> ''[[CatFight Bridget screams and jumps on top of Kerrie]]''.
13* In one episode "Pauland" his family is invited to a famous athlete's house for dinner so he can write a book about him when he's talking about how he'll rent a suit, Kerry and Bridget run down the stairs as Bridget gives Kerry a wedgie. Paul's response?
14---> '''Paul:''' Can you rent kids?
15* In one episode, Bridget, Kerry, and EVEN C.J. calls Grandpa Jim whenever they get scared.

17'''Bridget/Kerry/C.J.:''' ''[get cellphone out]'' Grandpa, I'm scared.
18* While Cate is performing "Daddy's Girl" in a Heartwarming Moment in a bar one guy buys Kerry a beer. Cate gets down off the stage, takes the beer away and shakes her head at the guy ''without stopping singing''.
19* Cate trying to cheer her sister up after a divorce:
20--> '''Cate:''' Taking a bath always makes me feel like a new woman.
21--> '''Maggie:''' Ted found a new woman.
22--> '''Cate:''' I meant when I'm taking a bath, I'm always a nude woman.
23--> '''Maggie:''' I found Ted with a nude woman.
24--> '''Cate:''' You know, it's probably best not to dwell on Ted.
25--> '''Maggie:''' I found Ted with a nude woman in a dwelling.
26* "Rory Hennessy doesn't serve cold lasagna!"
27* From the very first episode:
28--> '''Paul:''' I'm mad at something you said.
29--> '''Cate:''' What?
30--> '''Paul:''' Let's start a family.
31--> '''Cate:''' Well you're the one that wanted to keep going until we had a boy.
32* Kerry is forced to avoid being sarcastic and so Paul wears a hideously patterned sweater to annoy her.
33--> '''Kerry:''' Mom, I'm going to write something down on a piece of paper and I want you to say it to Dad.
34--> '''Paul:''' If it's sarcastic, you're still out.
35--> ''Kerry crumples up the piece of paper''
36* Cate has just discovered Kerry has pot in her school bag (while Rory kidnapped a police dog and Bridget is dating a guy with a motorcycle).
37--> '''Cate:''' I'm just trying to figure out what's happening to my good child.
38--> '''CJ:''' The thief, the druggie, or the biker chick?
39* Cate's attempt at [[FoodAsBribe currying favor with Kerry by baking cookies]] ends up failing because she can't remember Kerry's favorite flavor (peanut butter) -- the cookies she bakes turn out to be butterscotch flavor (Bridget's favorite) instead. She tries once more (this time to compliment Kerry for helping Bridget out with her studies), [[ComplimentBackfire only to fail again because the cookies this time are oatmeal & raisins]]. Worse yet, Cate herself is the only one in the family that fail to remember Kerry's favorite cookie flavor, as the mere mention of the oatmeal & raisins flavor prompts an OhCrap reaction from Jim, Rory, C.J., and Bridget, who immediately drop the cookie each of them is holding and start BackingAwaySlowly.

41* In "Closure," Kerry kisses her ex-boyfriend Bruno, then races out of the attic.
42-->'''Kerry''': Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
