Janet Pearson : [after Doug Simpson sees Katie Simpson for the first time after Janet Pearson gave her a makeover] Doug, what do you think?
Bonnie Simpson : Dad, what do you really think?
Doug Simpson : What do I really think? Who was that kid?
Janet Pearson : Andy, from down the street.
Doug Simpson : Nah, nah, nah. The one in the skirt.
Janet Pearson : Doug, she cannot stay a little girl forever. She is growing up. This did not just happen overnight, it's been coming on for months and months. She asked me to help her.
Doug Simpson : Well, you didn't have to.
Janet Pearson : What? If I didn't help her, someone else would.
Doug Simpson : Hah!
Janet Pearson : Doug, you can't stop life from happening.
Doug Simpson : Oh, no? I can sure slow it down a bit.
Janet Pearson : Oh, yeah? How?
Doug Simpson : How? Total control. Total control. No boy comes in this house and takes my daughter anywhere unless I know who he is, where he lives, who his parents are, what they do for a living, where they're going, how long they're going to be there, and who they're going to be with. Total control.
Janet Pearson : That's brilliant, Doug. Good luck!
Doug Simpson : Total! Total!
