Jocelyn · Moira:It was a noticeable improvement over the first paper. / Um well, I should hope so! / Well, m-maybe not a noticeable improvement, but um, a different improvement.

Jocelyn:Jocelyn resolves the scene by taking the real gun back: 'You know what, Moira, pull it together. I'm taking this gun.'

Jocelyn:Alone time, Johnny. I just need some alone time.

Jocelyn · John:Jocelyn tells John that Roland has been asking multiple people to be godparent: 'He has been asking everybody. You're the 3rd person I've had to talk to today.'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'if something does happen to one of our first 3 choices, we will definitely be knocking on your door.'
John · Jocelyn:John tries to bow out graciously: 'It's all for the best, Jocelyn, because frankly the thought of raising another kid...' Jocelyn: 'Yeah, well let's face it, your first 2 were no walk in the park, right.'
Jocelyn · John:Jocelyn offers: 'If you like, we could, um, move you up the list?' John: 'No, no, no, but this has all been very, very helpful.'
Jocelyn · Moira:Salem, Massachusetts, actually. / Yeah, his great-great-great great-grandmother accurately guessed the sex of her daughter's baby, and then was put on trial for witchcraft, so, you would see why. / Toil and trouble.
Jocelyn · Moira:I mean, you must just wanna shout out 'it's a boy!' Or, 'it's a girl!' / Is it a girl? / Valiant attempt, Jocelyn.

Jocelyn:Jocelyn saying 'I am ready' when asked if she wants to get changed — she's still in her pajamas
Jocelyn:You've served so many times already! I mean you had to miss the Jazzagals Luau Luncheon because of that hung jury, and then before that, you and Johnny got caught in that criminal trial and couldn't make it to the Seafood Potluck.
Jocelyn:I feel like I'm on 'The Voice'!
Judge · Moira · Jocelyn:You two know each other? / Not really, we just got to talking on the way in. / I... I wouldn't say we were close. / All right, I'm dismissing both Juror 75 and Juror 23.

Jocelyn:Listen, I can't speak to who Alexis was before you came here, and from what I've heard I don't really wanna dig any deeper into that...

Moira · Jocelyn:I've had a bit of a rebirth myself, in Bosnia. / I hope it wasn't as painful as mine.

Moira · Jocelyn:Yeah... it's a sad one. / I would be feeling it too, if I knew... what the heck you were singing about.
Jocelyn:I once found a bag of Roland's ex-girlfriends' bras. / Burned them. / Except for the ones that were my size.
Jocelyn:Woo! Wow. This little 'butterfly' is quite the writer. It's like 50 Shades of Johnny Rose!

Twyla · Jocelyn:Twyla mentions she sings Jocelyn's solo quietly every time Jocelyn does it; Jocelyn says 'I know, and it's not that quiet'

Moira · Jocelyn:Jocelyn arrives for rehearsal only to find it's over — Moira: 'I'm afraid that dirigible has ascended.'

Twyla · Jocelyn:Twyla immediately apologizes and says she'll sing louder; Jocelyn: 'Nope, you are singing too loud.'

Jocelyn · Alexis:Remember that time that you told me you'd be there for me if I ever needed you? / I don't think that was me.

Jocelyn:If the bus is a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'! Wooo!
Jocelyn · Moira:Magic brownies! / THC and carbohydrates. / Oh Moira, we don't expect you to have one. / One? At least one.

Jocelyn:If you'd've told me 20 years ago I'd be standing here with an empty chip bucket, stoned out of my mind at a Doodlebops concert, I would've lit a menthol, and had a laugh.
Moira · Jocelyn:You went to that show? / I stepped in briefly, Roland Jr.'s a huge fan of 'Wobbly Whoopsy.'
Moira · Jocelyn:Well, of course you did, as did anyone with brain cells to kill. I'm thinking of a particular night in Monaco with Maggie Trudeau and the Rolling Stones. / You rocked with the Stones? / All except Charlie, but every party has a pooper.
Jocelyn · Moira:Tah-dah! Oh, Jocelyn, is that you? / Yes! I took your advice, Moira.
Jocelyn:That I can still rock on! / Your chips bought this!
Jocelyn · Moira · Twyla:We all still like it, right? / I think it really brings out my eyes, right, Gals? / Sure. / It's not like we think it's a mistake, or we regret it, right? / Oh, you never regret a good time, Jocelyn. / Thank you, Moira. / You'd tell me the truth, I know. / It's really short.
Jocelyn · Moira:Those shoes do not make a sound. Blame Wang.
Jocelyn:I actually wanted to do 'Cats', but everybody said that it was too political, so.
Jocelyn · Moira:Moira's shocked reaction to learning Jocelyn chose Cabaret — the show that 'launched her career' — and Jocelyn casually saying '1979, you had a Reuben.'
Jocelyn:Wow, Bob. Who knew you were a man of so many talents? Well, I don't need to see any more.
Jocelyn · Bob · Moira:Well try it um, angrier? You know, like, grr, put your hands on your hips. / Like this? / Oh dear.
Jocelyn:Okay, so this is what we call mutual respect. So if you could just stay like this for the an hour, that would be ideal.
Jocelyn · Moira:Oh no, no, Patrick was auditioning for the role of Cliff. / Yes, he was. But we all know you put your biggest talent front and centre.
Moira · Jocelyn · Moira:Isn't that right, Jocelyn? / Sure. As long as I never have to act again. / Okay, no.
Jocelyn:Working with you made me realize that I may not have the skills to do this. But you, you were practically directly by yourself today.
Jocelyn:Please, Moira. You'd be doing me a favour. I mean, it's either that, or you could call Mr. and Mrs. Tekenos and let them know that their daughter bit another student at school today.
Jocelyn · Moira:Assistant directing? / Mhmm, some would argue it's even more responsibility than directing.
Jocelyn:What have I done? No!
Johnny · Jocelyn · Bob:Johnny's crowd-work attempt: makes fun of Jocelyn's cooking after being called out for it, then pivots to 'Bob's Garage' not 'helping' anyone — fumbling the pun

Jocelyn · Moira:Jocelyn: 'My first boyfriend took me to a Michael Myers movie and I never got over it.' Moira: 'Not "The Love Guru"?'
Moira · Jocelyn:Moira: 'Who wrote that?' / Jocelyn: 'I did.' / Moira: 'You? You did.' (pause) 'Oh wow... Jocelyn, thank you.' (pause) 'Nothing about me or my performance?'
Jocelyn · Moira:Jocelyn: 'I really liked your feathers!' Moira: 'Surprise. They are real. 1200 of them hand-sewn into my costume. The live crows on set welcomed me as their own. One even tried to mate.'
Jocelyn · Moira:Hello, Access Hollywood? Have I got a star sighting for you! Very pawky, Jocelyn.
Jocelyn:It reminds me of that time that Renée Zellweger's brother came in here, and I got him to sign a menu. I mean, he spelled his name differently, but I swear it was him.
Jocelyn:I was in the middle of a pre-show bath, and with the baby around, I only get that kind of me-time maybe... five to six nights a week, so...
Jocelyn:Oh, sanp! It's a premiere now? 'Cause first you said it was, and then you said it was just a viewing party.
Jocelyn:Yeah, and, and if it's a premiere, we're all in trouble, because my skinny jeans are in the wash.
Alexis · Jocelyn:Wait, you wanna walk the carpet? / Honey, it's a movie premiere, is it not?
Jocelyn · Alexis:And I assume the mayor is walking the carpet as well, yes? / Yes... if he has to.
Jocelyn · Alexis:I would like to request a time before Roland. And I'd like to go first.
Jocelyn · Alexis:I think they're really gonna pop on your 20-foot merlot. I think so too! They're gonna pop on that carpet.
Ronnie · Jocelyn:Ronnie's complaint about having to change out of her own workout clothes, followed by Jocelyn finding a stain on the cult-issued pants and asking 'Are we sure that they clean these?'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'If babies are allowed, I am in.'
Jocelyn:Alexis, can I still go on the trip? I'm not saying that I need it. It's just last weekend I snuck Roland Jr. into the ball room at Ikea just so I could eat a meatball by myself.
Jocelyn:"Miranda is so sassy when she went undercover for that wet T-shirt contest."
Jocelyn:"Bob has his first cry therapy session tonight."
Roland · Jocelyn · Johnny · Moira:Roland and Jocelyn arrive at the Presidential Suite — catching Johnny and Moira with martinis in the room they were told they couldn't use
Roland · Jocelyn:Roland reveals they've been renting out their extra bedroom to pay for the motel — a stranger has been making himself at home in Jocelyn's kitchen
Johnny · Roland · Jocelyn:Confused JFK quotation argument — Johnny insists 'Ask not what your country can do for you' is JFK but Roland and Jocelyn argue it's FDR and that JFK is from Boston not Upstate New York
David · Jocelyn:Jocelyn waving at David and Patrick from across the room 'in a very disturbing way'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn guilting David and Patrick: 'I'll be the mother with the baby at home looking for some extra cash, after I invested in your father's business. I'll be over here.'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'There is an opening for a waitress at Bazongas Gentlemen's Club. I guess I could try that.'
Jocelyn · David:Jocelyn saying she'll go home to change into something 'more casual' — David's horrified reaction beat
Jocelyn · David · Patrick:Jocelyn's unsolicited advice about body milk and diaper rash, completely ignoring David's 'let them wander' instructions
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'Have a "Rose-y" day!'
David · Jocelyn:David: 'We won't be doing "Rose-y day."' / Jocelyn: 'No?' / David: 'No.'
Jocelyn · David · Patrick:Jocelyn rings a bell — 'Another sale, boys!' / David: 'Where'd she get that bell?' / Patrick: 'She brought it from home.'
Jocelyn · David:Jocelyn: 'as David would say, I just don't think it's in my brand.' / David: 'I don't think I've ever said that.'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'You guys can keep the bell. 'Cause you might need it a little more than me.'
Jocelyn:Jocelyn: 'I'll come by tomorrow to pick up my paycheck.'
Jocelyn · Moira:Excuse me? / Moira, I haven't said anything yet. Why the festivities then?
Jocelyn:Grace is moving to Elm Valley. That's why the cake says 'Goodbye Grace.'
Moira · Grace · Jocelyn:Shh. Okay, we'll just smooth things over until Grace arrives. / I-I'm right here. / Yes you are! Grace! Our timorous grinagog. I think I'll miss you most of all.
Moira · Jocelyn:You've received correspondence? What am I looking at? A cartoon head exploding? / Oh. It looks like three cartoon heads exploding. / Well, then they're blowing people's minds. What's the concern?
Jocelyn:You're gripping my wrist very tightly, Moira.
Moira · Grace · Jocelyn:Okay. Well, let's just continue celebrating Grace. / What? / I'm Grace. / I know. But she's not... you're — you're not celebrating enough. No.
Moira · Jocelyn:This threat of failure is inhumane. Jocelyn: No, I think it's exciting. It's like 'Deal or No Deal', but with the rest of our lives.
Jocelyn:'I went to the spa. Had a pedicure and a blow-out, at the same time.'
