Anne W. Matheson Sumner : You're only here with Mack now, because I wasn't here when he met you. Now he feels obligated.
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : Mack is under no obligations, Anne.
Anne W. Matheson Sumner : The hell he isn't. Admit it. If Mack had to choose between us, he'd never choose you.
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : You with your little tract house, your little dead-end street in your little dead-end life with your outdoor barbecue and your "Kiss the Cook" apron. It all makes me sick.
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : Anne, I'm gonna get off the phone right now, I think we've said about...
Anne W. Matheson Sumner : You wanna know the truth. I'll tell you the truth. I never intended to die, I intended to make Mack come to his senses. I did it so that Mack could choose between us.
[Mack is shown listening to what Anne is saying]
M. "Mack" Patrick MacKenzie : [later on, at Mack and Karen's house] I never give a gift unless I like it myself and I love hot dogs.
[Mack puts on a "Kiss the Cook" apron]
M. "Mack" Patrick MacKenzie : Especially when they're charcoal barbecued. I'll even put your names in them. You know, Karen, I love our house and listen...I love how quiet it is on our cul-de-sac.
[Karen is speechless and looks at Anne, who has a flabbergasted look on her face]

Laura Avery Sumner : How about this dress for her first birthday? This one for her baptism. This is one for her second birthday. And, uh, this one for when she turns three, huh?
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : Whoa, wait a minute. Laura, I heard of planning ahead, but this is really planning ahead.
Laura Avery Sumner : Well, I have to plan ahead.
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : Why?
Laura Avery Sumner : Because there's a lot of things that I'm not going to do with Meg.
[Laura looks at Karen and realizes that Laura is dying]
Laura Avery Sumner : Don't get upset, I mean. If you're gonna get upset, I'm gonna get upset, okay. I'm sorry. Please, please, I really need your help.

Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : I don't want you to die.
Sid Fairgate : Would you just do what you know and I know has to be done?
Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie : [Karen signs the sheet to possibly have Sid undergo surgery to restore the use of his limbs] But I swear to God, Sid, if anything happens to you.
