Mel Harris: Hope Murdoch Steadman
Quotes
-
Hope Murdoch Steadman : So, we haven't decided. You know, I mean, decided officially.
Melissa Steadman : I totally agree. I mean, Thanksgiving, why bother, right?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Well, right. But Michael, he's decided. It's like it really matters to him.
Melissa Steadman : That's strange, you know, because me and Michael, in our family, we never made a big deal about Thanksgiving.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Well, we did. Some relative, whose name I'm completely blocking, came over on the Mayflower.
Melissa Steadman : Our relatives couldn't get reservations.
-
Gary Shepherd : So the kid says, "I spent all weekend doing this paper. I even went to the library." And suddenly, the kid starts to cry. I mean, this is a 30-page exegesis of why Moby Dick was a Sagittarius. What am I supposed to do?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Flunk him. Moby Dick was obviously a Pisces.

Michael Steadman : [accidentally dropping the Thanksgiving turkey] Don't worry, honey. It's just the turkey.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Turkeys make soft, squishy sounds when they fall. That sounded like a piece of the Skylab.
Ethan Weston : Mom, the turkey broke.
Nancy Krieger Weston : Oh, I know.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : [touching it] It's solid ice.
Elliot Weston : Yeah, we forgot to defrost it.

Michael Steadman : Honey, why are you doing this with the pictures?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Because I have 50 boxes of them. I have to do something with them. Maybe this weekend. Maybe we could not see anyone. We could even not answer the phone.
Michael Steadman : Or maybe we could have Thanksgiving dinner like we did last year and the year before and ever since we had an oven.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Excuse me?
Michael Steadman : What, you mean you haven't noticed that people are wearing bulky sweaters and I've been watching Monday Night Football?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : I thought it was October or something.
Michael Steadman : It's November something.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Yeah, but... but things are really different this year. I mean, nobody really expects us to have a big bash.
Michael Steadman : What about our friends? I'm sure we already pretty much said something.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : We said something? I didn't said anything. Did you?
[getting her answer from his silence]
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Oh, Michael!
Michael Steadman : Can we yell at me tonight?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Count on it.
-
Michael Steadman : Is that you?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : What are you looking at? You can't look at anything until I decide if it has to be burned.
Michael Steadman : Oh, you look beautiful.
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Of course I do. I was 20.
Michael Steadman : Well, where was I?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : God, can you believe Ellyn?
Michael Steadman : Where was I?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : You didn't exist. We were hitchhiking. We stopped at a truck stop, and there was this really cute... never mind.
