    Ben: I’m gonna go now.
    Quote:Ari: Maybe we’re jumping to conclusions.

    Quote:Ari: You know those moments when I tell you something isn't a good idea-
    Ben: -and then I ignore you, yeah
    Quote:Ari: Why is your back all scratched up?
    Ben: [Flashbacks to when he got Garrett drunk and they drunk-chased Ben's horses after Ari and Baxter told them not to]
    Ben: I'm having an affair.
    Quote:Ben: Ari, look, I'm melting butter.
    Ari: That's great, Ben. You now have the cooking skills of a hot day.
    Quote:Ari: You kissed me.

    Ben: Ari, I kissed you, with tongue, and I plan to do it again and again - get used to it. End of discussion.
    Ari: Okay.
    Quote:Ari: Oh, no. You're getting an idea, aren't you?

    Incorrect Quotes: Immie + Immac (and some Immaclets) Edition!
    @'Cassius Lestrange'
    @'Elias Grimstone'
    @'Elsie Beauregard'
    @'Aurelia Wallingford'

    Immie: Where's Findlay and Brendan?

    Mac: They went out.

    Immie: They're grounded.

    Mac: ...Are they not supposed to be let out when they're grounded?


    [set during one of Immie's pregnancies]
    Immie: I keep having this recurring dream that I'm in a restaurant and I have to go to the loo, but I take a wrong turn and walk into the kitchen where an Italian chef is talking and gesticulating and the knife he's holding stabs me and the baby.

    Mac: ...

    Immie: Y'know, because Italian people talk with their hands.


    Mac: Immie, where are you? This place is fancy, and I don't know which fork to kill myself with.

    Mac: [knocks on the bedroom door]

    Immie: You can't come in!

    Mac: Why not?

    Immie: Because, uh, Amelia is naked!

    Amelia: What?

    Immie: Well, I can't tell him I'm naked. He's allowed to see me naked.

    Amelia: Why does anyone have to be naked?


    Immie: Alright, from now on we're going by code names. I want you to call me "Eagle 1". Shawn, you'll be "Been There, Done That". When we refer to Mac, he'll be "Currently Doing That". Elias, you're "It Happened Once In A Dream". Amelia, you'll be "If I Had to Pick a Girl". And Rue,.. you'll be "Eagle 2".

    Rue: Oh, thank Merlin.


    Immie: Okay, I want to say something to my girls. Amelia, you're a softie, but inside you're a straight-up boss. Rue, you're the exact opposite. Y'all inspire me, and I love you.

    [I sort of have this headcanon that when the twins enter their 3rd/4th year, they're constantly fighting all the time.]
    Immie: So, how's school?

    Finella: You're the worst!

    Findlay: You sicken me!

    Immie (clearly used to it): I see.

    Findlay: I hope you go bald!

    Finella: I hope Pride of Portree places last this year!

    Findlay (and majority of the household): YOU TAKE THAT BACK!


    Izzie: Okay look, how about you both agree to say 'i'm sorry' on a count of three. One... two... three...

    Findlay: ...

    Finella: ...

    Izzie: See, now I'm just disappointed in the both of you.


    Brendan: I have three brothers and three sisters. We steal each other's stuff, sabotage each other's exploding snap games, set each other's clothes on fire... There are no rules.
