  • Keagan: I want to have 100 kids.
  • Madeline: Wow. By the time you had the 100th kid, you'd be over 100 years old.
  • Kelly: You'd probably be about 130.
  • Keagan: Well... I'll just have a baby every Sunday.

  • Kelly: Wow kids - did you see that huge deer on the side of the road?
  • Gavin: Where, where?
  • Kelly: It was back there on the ground on the side of the road.
  • Gavin: You should have stopped, Mom. I could go for some venison.
  • Kelly: Gavin, I don't eat road kill.

Luke was proud to show Kell this sign.  Kell replied, “Oh Luke!  I love you too!  Where did you learn that from?” Luke looked confused.  Huh? Then Kell realized he was shooting her with a Spiderman web, not using the sign language sign for I love you.

  • Duff: Gavin, can you throw this thing in the garbage for me?
  • Gavin, hesitating: Ummm..... I don't think so. That thing is gross.
  • Madeline: Gavin - Uncle Eric would probably eat that thing. Just throw it away.
