Stephen: I proofread all of her manuscripts. My wife is very, very beautiful, but she can't spell for anything.

Delia Shiraz: Look at Uncle Stephen. And Auntie Liz. I'm counting the minutes for this to be over so I can get in my big girl pants.

Liz: You look fantastic. You just had a baby.

Delia Shiraz: Oh, you're lying. I'm fat, I'm exhausted...I can't keep two thoughts. I feel like Liza Minnelli. Stephen, can you hold Jack? I'm gonna introduce you to Walter.

Stephen: Yeah. Hey, dude, you wanna grab a beer or something?

Liz: My new book comes out in April. Thank you for asking.

Walter: Great.

Delia Shiraz: May.

Liz: May. May.

Delia Shiraz: This is Andre. You two are Times' Most Notable nominees.

Liz: So glad to finally meet you.

Andre: Nice to finally meet you.

Stephen: I fed him nachos. Is that bad?

Andy Shiraz: You look comfortable. What'd you feed him, chloroform? Give him to his dad.

Stephen: I told you, nachos. Know what? I'd be asleep too if I had a dump like that.

Andy Shiraz: We'll give him to his mom.

Delia Shiraz: Come here then. Wanna help me change his diaper?

Liz: Yes, I do.

Andy Shiraz: Hey, how's the vintage car thing going?

Liz: Did you know the exact moment you wanted to have a baby?

Delia Shiraz I can't remember, but l've had the box since before l got married.

Liz: What box?

Delia Shiraz: It's girly and embarrassing, and you'll laugh at me if I tell you.

Liz: I will laugh at you, but you still have to tell me. Come on.

Delia Shiraz: Under the bed. I've been filling it with baby things...waiting until Andy was ready to be a father.

Liz: So sweet. Does this come in my size? I have a box just like this, except it's filled with National Geographics...and The Times travel section. All the places I wanna see before I die.

Delia Shiraz: Liz, having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You kind of wanna be fully committed.
