Artie: "Here ya go son. Just like that. This how little boys go potty and how big boys do number 2. When you get a little bit bigger I'll show you how to do number 1 like a man. Ok?"
Ares: "Ok!"
Rica: "Artie! Why is the baby crying?!"
Artie: "Ahahahah. It's so sweet."
Rica: "Artie!"
Ares: -kicks his father's ankle-
Baxtor: "That's a good lad. Now come crawl into the cat tower before he catches you!"
Artie: "Hey what's with all the wiggling? He's not going to jump out of the moving stroller is he?"
Rica: "He doesn't look the acrobatic type to me and while that is an option, it's not one I had planned on."
Artie: "Me either. You know if he gets hurt because I don't catch him. I think Christin will feed me to the fireflies."
Rica: "That would be bad for the dynasty. So why don't you make sure you actually strapped him in."
Artie: "Oh Right. Good thinking."
Cheyenne: "Photography is a lot like painting but in live action. It's a painting of the moment."
Dakota: "I get it. So you look through the camera and just hit the button."
Cheyenne: "Not exactly, you need to try to capture just the right moment. Sometimes people pose but sometimes it's all about the moment. Here I'll show you some of the techniques I've learned."
Rica: "Christin.. I have some news."
Christin: "I feel a little funny."
Rica: "That's because I'm worried at your current rate of promotioning you won't make it to level 10 in the thief branch before you die so I'm changing your LTW to Swimming in Cash."
Christin: "I guess. I still want to become a Master Thief though."
Rica: "And we will do everything we can to get you there. Now let me just hit this button and sell this car. And Voila! Instant Gratification."
Christin: "Ahh that's much better. I don't feel as funny anymore."
Rica: "Good Good. Now get back to the gardening. "
Bella: "Aww man. I was hoping it was belly scratching time."
Christin: "The fireflies said they would scratch your belly.."
Bella: "Nevermind.. I'll go find a non Grim to do it."
Artie: "And when you get to the top of your career, you'll get lots of raises to cover your undermining costs. "
Ares: "Money is good. "
Buzz: "I'm not comfortable with your conversation. How can I make sure this is a masterpiece with you sitting right there?"
Rica: "Here's a mp3 player that will play songs in your head so you can't hear them."
Buzz: -yells over the music: "THAT'S MUCH BETTER."
Ares: -giggles-
Christin: "Hey there big boy. Now just straighten your legs. " -claps- "That's what you call home position. Now this time bend your knees with your hands on your hips. That's position two."
Rica: "You're supposed to be teaching him how to walk not exercise!"
Christin: "He should be able to do both."
Rica: "Yes but I don't think squatting all the way to school is an option."
Christin: "Ok fine!"
Dakota: "You made me stop painting for this? Nothing happened when I blew out the candles."
Rica: "It takes a minute. Don't be so impatient."
Dakota: "But my paint is going to dry before I'm ready for it to do that!"
Dakota: "AHHH! Whats happening to me?"
Buzz: "It's ok honey! Just a little growing pains. It will all be over in a moment."
Christin: "Save her! The sparkles are hurting her!"
Rica: "No It's ok. Just another moment more and…"
Rica: "… there. See not so bad now."
Bella: "What is she wearing."
Dakota: "Yeah what am I wearing?"
Rica: "I admit. It needs work. Let's go see a mirror huh or did you want to keep the beehive?"
Dakota: "Not really."
Artie: "But you could hide so many fun things up there."
Rica: "Very pretty darling. You can go back to painting now."
Dakota: "Yay" -claps- "Thank you."
Mr Bigglesworth: "So that's how that works. Honey I'm home!"
Rica: "Bigglesworth! How nice to see through you. Come to torture us all with queue dropping and what not?"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Of course, what are old friends for my dear."
Rica: "I can't thank you enough love."
Artie: "Hey old man. How about a good brushing for old time's sake?"
Mr Bigglesworth: "I wasn't sure how that would work but yes yes please don't stop."
Artie: "I'm done."
Mr Bigglesworth: "You vile red beast."
Artie: "Aww I've missed you too."
