Matt: Let's face it. A baby carriage ain't exactly a man magnet.
Daisy [laughing]: I hate you so much.
Matt: But you know what is? [imitates puppy whimpers]
Daisy: You're just playing on my fear of dying alone to make me get a that dog you actually want.
Matt: That doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Matt: Of course we do, Ma'am.
Elizabeth: Damn right we do.
