Stepmom
1998
Ben Harrison: See Mom? I told you! I'm telepathetic. Jackie Harrison: Telepathic. Ben Harrison: That's what I said.
Ben Harrison: Do you think Isabel's pretty? Jackie Harrison: Sure... if you like big teeth.
Ben Harrison: Can you fall out of love with your kids? Luke: No. That is impossible! Ben Harrison: Like Mission: Impossible!
Luke: Anna! You do NOT run out on your mother! Anna Harrison: No, that's your job.
Anna Harrison: You never asked me if I wanted a new mother. You never even asked me if I liked her!
Ben Harrison: No one loves you like I do. Jackie Harrison: No. No one ever will.
Isabel: Why don't we name the puppy? Anna Harrison: I know: Isabel. Isabel: I beg your pardon? Anna Harrison: Well, it kind of smells like you, and I'm allergic to you too, so it fits perfectly.
Jackie Harrison: I'm never, never going to forget this. Anna Harrison: Never say "never." Jackie Harrison: Well there's a loophole, you know. You can say "never, never" if you mean it enough to say it twice.
Isabel: Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll think, "I wish my mom were here." Jackie Harrison: And my fear is... she won't.
Jackie Harrison: You know, Ben was born in two hours, went right to the breast, and camped there for 4 days. His blanket looked just like a cape, even the nurses thought so. He loves hearing that story about how he was born a magician. Isabel: What about her? Jackie Harrison: 28 hours. The doctors wanted to go in and get her, but I knew she'd come at her own time. You can never rush her. Isabel: I'll keep that in mind.
Isabel: You look tired. Jackie Harrison: I hate when people say that. It's like a polite way of telling you that you look like shit.
Jackie Harrison: Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there.
(after Anna has called and hung up twice) Isabel: Hello?... What is your problem, asshole? Anna Harrison: YOU are my problem!
Anna Harrison: I don't have to listen to you, you're not my mother! Isabel: THANK GOD FOR THAT!
(Jackie is smoking marijuana) Jackie Harrison: Yep. Life's a tradeoff. It's finally legal to smoke dope, but you got to have cancer. Isabel: Are you dying? Jackie Harrison: Not today.
Jackie Harrison: What are we going to tell the kids? Luke: Maybe we should tell them the truth. They can handle it. It should've been me instead of you. Jackie Harrison: I'll go along with that.
(to Luke) Isabel: Don't fight with me when I'm hungry.
Ben Harrison: Mommy, if you want me to hate her I will.
Isabel: It's not that I can't cook, I choose not to cook.
Isabel: If you meet me back here in 1 hour, I will prove to you why you hired me... even though I wouldn't sleep with you
Isabel: (argueing with Jackie, after giving Anna some advice about a guy) What is it that your worried about, looking bad at the P.T.A?
Luke: Don't do this. Don't bring in the lawyers. You know that the kids aren't in any real danger, this is about Isabel.
Isabel: Maybe the problem is that your daughter is a spoiled, little brat! Jackie Harrison: Get out of my house, get out. Isabel: Are you sure? I didn't see that on the schedule.
Ben Harrison: (on the phone with Jackie) And you wish that you were here making me spaghetti... (whispering) so I don't have to eat dad's yucky lamb chops.
Ben Harrison: (to Isabel) Will you sing me a song? My mom always sings to me when I get hurt.
Anna Harrison: I'm sorry you're sick.
Luke: We'll beat it. You're not alone in this you know. You don't have to go through this by yourself... you know that? Understand what I'm saying?
Isabel: (backstage at the school Thanksgiving play) I have something to tell you. Jackie Harrison: You're having Michael Jackson's baby. Isabel: That, *and* Anna is totally over her head for Brad Kovitsky. Jackie Harrison: (gasp) No!
