Quotes 

• Lizzie : When will I be old enough to trust? When I'm 50?

  Sam McGuire : Maybe. We'll see.

• Jo McGuire : [to Matt]  Oh, hi, honey. How was practice?

  Matt McGuire : Zachary Greenwald accidentally fell on a sprinkler head and had to get stitches. It was really cool.

  Sam McGuire : And Matt came very close to actually kicking the ball. Didn't you, champ?

  Matt McGuire : Oh, yeah.

  Sam McGuire : [mouths to Jo]  No way.

• Jo McGuire : Oh, Debbie Gotchalk called. She can't babysit tomorrow night.

  Sam McGuire : Well, is there someone else we can get?

  Lizzie : Oh, oh, don't get that Olivia Skivin. She makes us listen to country-western non-stop.

  Matt McGuire : Not Mrs. Harvey. She smells dead.

  Jo McGuire : Well, we're not going for Tammy up the street 'cause she makes more an hour than I do.

  Sam McGuire : No way we're going with Mrs. Jaffey. Who lets a 10-year-old boy drink an entire quart of maple syrup?

  Matt McGuire : I liked her.

• Sam McGuire : Where's Mrs. Doubtfire when you need her?

• Sam McGuire : [about Lizzie babysitting]  Sweetheart, you're just not ready yet. This is a big responsibility.

  Lizzie : You've always told me I can do anything if I set my mind to it, honey. And I've set my mind to this. I can do it.

  Jo McGuire : We do say that, Sam.

• Sam McGuire : Lizzie, I added some numbers to the emergency phone list. Also, I've moved all the cleaners out from under the kitchen sink. And whatever you do, do not open the door for anybody.

  Lizzie : And I won't follow the trail of bread crumbs to the gingerbread witch's house. Dad, don't worry.

• Sam McGuire : Okay, look, I just think it was a mistake leaving Lizzie in charge. She's only 13.

  Jo McGuire : Yeah, well, she's only 13, but I mean, she never gets in trouble at school, she gets there and back all by herself and I think she's the only one in the house who knows how to make the picture-in-picture work.

  Sam McGuire : Yeah, but she sleeps until noon on the weekends. She uses the picture-in-picture to watch MTV and cartoons at the same time.

• Sam McGuire : [to Lizzie]  It's not that I don't trust you, sweetheart. I guess I still just think of you as the 6-year-old girl that used to need me to chase the monsters out of her closet. I guess I have to get used to the fact that you're not that little girl anymore. You're becoming a young lady now and I have to let you act like one.
