I. Monica's Appointment with Dr. Townsend/AJ's Appointment with the PCPD (8/10)

Audrey: "Well, didn't Alan choose Dr. Townsend?"
Monica: "Yes, he did. And he had to hound me to go to the appointment. And then I went, and then the tables turned."
Audrey: "Well, what happened?"
Monica: "Alan met Dr. Townsend. Young Dr. Townsend."

Audrey: "So Alan's just a little threatened, huh?"
Monica: "Yeah, but once I'm pregnant, he's going to be thrilled. After all, he is a Quartermaine male. They can't get enough of family."

Monica: "I mean, look what Elizabeth has brought into your life since she's moved in with you."
Audrey: "Oh, it's been wonderful. Of course. Oh, but she was so much older. I mean, I'm not sure I could have handled those early years."
Monica: "I know. I know we're going to need some help. But, Audrey, Alan and I have gotten so much closer since we've decided to have a baby. That's worth everything to me."

Edward: "Oh, Alan. If you and Monica spent more time with the children you already have, then A.J. Wouldn't be on his way to prison."

Alan: "You charged your own flesh and blood with insider trading? Have you completely lost your mind?"
Edward: "It's called tough love, Alan. It's something you should have practiced with A.J. Years ago."
Alan: "One evil patriarch in this family is enough."

Alan: "He beat you at your own game. There's no crime in that."

Monica: "Oh, no, you don't. Uh-uh. You got me into this. And now that I've had my first fertility treatment, you are on 24-hour call, doctor. When the timing is right, you're going to make love to me whether you're in the mood or not."

Edward: "Tell Agent Scott to notify me the minute that A.J. Quartermaine is in custody. No, no, no, I'm not his attorney. I'm a victim of his crime. You idiot."

Edward: "Now, wait. Before you begin to defend him, let me explain something."
Lila: "You don't have to. Throwing A.J. Into jail was the only way that you knew how to save him."
Edward: "This isn't about saving him."
Lila: "Of course it is. Time away might keep A.J. From drinking for a while, but it won't solve his problem. You can't force sobriety on him."
Edward: "Lila, watching from the sidelines while our grandson flushes his life away doesn't sit very well, either."
Lila: "I know. I know, dear. Oh, if only people knew what a good heart you have."
Edward: "Huh?"
Lila: "Don't worry, dear. Your secret is safe with me."
Edward: "Oh, Lila."

II. A Mother-Daughter Talk (8/11)

Emily: "We both made some stupid mistakes. I would give anything to take them back."
Monica: "Well, welcome to the world of relationships. Really, adulthood in general. You want to know what I have learned?"
Emily: "Isn't that what moms are for?"
Monica: "Absolutely. Once you accept a mistake has been made, which is usually the hardest part of the whole thing, you have to deal with the consequences of your actions and then you just move on."
Emily: "That's what I'm doing. That's what we're both doing. It's just it's hard, you know? I mean, I know Juan still has feelings for me."
Monica: "Yes, I know he does."

Monica: "Oh, well, I mean, I didn't like Juan at first. You know that. But I have seen how devoted he has been to you, and, well, he's kind of won me over. You want to know a little secret about men? There's not one perfect one in the lot."
Emily: "Unlike women, right?"
Monica: "Definitely unlike women."

Monica: "Now, you take your father. Now, half the time I just want to strangle him. But I think about when I first laid eyes on him and, warts and all, I knew there would never be another man in the world for me."
Emily: "I know what you mean. I mean, no matter how mad I get at Juan, I still could never imagine feeling that way about another guy."
Monica: "Then I suggest you follow your heart."

Emily: "Is there something that you're not telling me? I mean, I overheard you and dad discussing something about a doctor's appointment?"

Monica: "Your dad and I have decided we want to be parents again. So, that's what all the appointments have been about. Are you very embarrassed?"

Monica: "You think I'm crazy."
Emily: "No, I don't. I mean, if you and dad want to have a baby, it just takes all the focus off me."
Monica: "Well, now, come on. But really, you don't--you don't have reservations about your dad and I being parents again?"
Emily: "No. No. Not at all. You and dad are the best parents in the entire world."
Monica: "Well--"
Emily: "I mean, you took me into your home and your hearts when I thought I had absolutely nothing left. You loved me and supported me through all of my mistakes. And trust me, my little brother or sister's going to feel the exact same way."
