- Louis Huang: You can't. But trust me, as he gets older there will always be a few things that you would rather I handle. Like, uh, the talk I had with Eddie about long showers.
- Jessica Huang: I appreciate you keeping an eye on the water bill.

- Evan Huang: The jaws of puberty unclench for no-one. OK. See you in Science.
