Quotes 

• Cheyenne : [Coming down the stairs]  Alright the kids are all bathed and ready for bed and Elizabeth is waiting for you upstairs to go sing your goofy opera version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".

  Van Montgomery : Well, singin' opera won't make her smarter.

  Cheyenne : What are you talking about?

  Van Montgomery : I've been reading these child development books and we've been doing it all wrong with Elizabeth.

  Cheyenne : I don't think so, Van.

  Van Montgomery : Oh yes we have! We've wasted so much time! All that time I spent blowin' on her stomach I could have been teachin' her the periodic table of elements!

  Cheyenne : Van, Elizabeth laughs when you blow on her stomach.

  Van Montgomery : Well, there's plenty of time for laughter later when she's a chemist!

  Cheyenne : Okay, alright, look I do not know what you are all worked up about. I told you it is completely normal for kids to develop at different rates.

  Van Montgomery : Yeah but what if she's behind the other kids to begin with?

  Cheyenne : Why would she be behind?

  Van Montgomery : Because of me. Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the chandelier.

  Cheyenne : You're plenty sharp.

  Van Montgomery : Yeah right! I couldn't tie my shoe until I was five years old.

  Cheyenne : Yeah and your mom told me why. Because when you'd put the little rabbit through the rabbit hole all of the sudden your shoes would turn into a spaceship or racecars and you'd run off in your socks playing this incredibly creative game.

  Van Montgomery : Yeah those rabbits were kinda hilarious!

  Cheyenne : You are kinda hilarious and inventive and smart and your daughter is gonna be the same way.

  Van Montgomery : I meant to say "the sharpest tool in the shed".

  Cheyenne : I like the way you said it the first time.

  [They kiss] 

  Van Montgomery : I'm gonna go check on the kids.

  [Operatic] 

  Van Montgomery : Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star...
