- Robert Benson: I found an unopened box of chocolate today. You know the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis!
- Husband of Julia: [beginning of film; cuts cake] Okay, if you're gonna force me.
- Julia: [laughs] No one's forcing you; you can stop anytime.
- Man at table: So, Robert, your latest book's at the top of the bestseller list, huh.
- Robert Benson: [holding Sully, focused on her] Ah, it's creeping up there! My agent's really been pushing it. Little Sully here could care less about bestsellers.
- Julia: [sympathetically] Oh, maybe she doesn't read your books, but the rest of us do.
- Robert Benson: [looks up, grateful] And I thank you.
- Husband of Julia: Seriously, those books have helped Julia and I manage our money. You should be proud.
- Julia: [begins toast] To Robert! America's next financial guru.
- [he happily toasts her]
- Man at table: To Robert. Pretty soon, you're gonna have your own TV show, syndicated radio program...
- Robert Benson: No chance of that. Nothing's gonna pull me away from my family.
- Julia: [inquisitive] Hey, where did Sarah run off to?
- Robert Benson: I haven't seen her since we sang "Happy Birthday." I can't keep track of her. She's always runnin' around. She's probably digging in her garden.
- Man at table: Well, that's what you get for marrying a girl off the farm.
- Robert Benson: [chuckles, friendly] It's working out pretty well for me so far.
- Sarah Benson: [yells from dock] Hey! Let's take the boat out!
- Robert Benson: [amused] What is she doing?
- Man at table: [looks back to Robert] I think she wants to take the boat out.
- Robert Benson: The dock is rotten; we're gonna have it fixed by next week. Honey, get off the dock!
- [she puts down her arms in some frustration]
- Husband of Julia: You can hardly wait for that baby brother, huh.
- Robert Benson: [smiles] I'm more excited about the baby than she is.
- Julia: [laughs] That's 'cause you don't have to carry that little monster around for the next nine months.
- Sarah Benson: [hand to side of mouth] Captain Robert Benson! You, boat now!
- [puts hand to pregnant belly]
- Robert Benson: [sighs, shifting with Sully] Looks like I'm gonna have to run down there and pull her off that dock myself.
- Husband of Julia: Yep.
- Sarah Benson: Captain Robert Benson!
- [waves life jacket]
- Sarah Benson: I am getting in this boat!
- Bridgette Gibson: I was gonna sit out on the patio in the sun and I was wondering if you had any sunblock in the house.
- Robert Benson: Sunblock? Yeah.
- Bridgette Gibson: Oh, I did it. I'm totally bothering you.
- Robert Benson: No, it's just when I come in here, I go to a different place. That's all.
- Bridgette Gibson: The life of a writer. Wow. It must get hard, Robert.
- Robert Benson: Hard?
- [pause]
- Robert Benson: It is sometimes.
