Bailey: I'm sorry I missed your birthday. It's just that with Jill and everything, it was...
Claudia: More important. Yeah, I know.
Bailey: No. Not more important. But...I guess it seemed more urgent. I'm really sorry.

TV Show: Party of Five
Julia: I'm sure you did everything you could, Bay.
Bailey: I don't know. Maybe that's just the way it is with people. Maybe there's just nothing anybody can do to help anyone else.
Charlie: Bailey, you help people all the time.
Julia: Yeah. I mean, look what you did for Claudia.
Bailey: What, blow off her birthday? Yeah, I'm expecting a medal for that one.
Julia: You remembered the charm.
Charlie: Oh my God, the charm.
Bailey: You forgot the charm???
Julia: We both did.
Bailey: Oh God, no wonder she was so pissed!

Julia: That's not fair, Charlie. That is not fair! There's one of you and four of us, and each of us has something here that's every bit as important to us as your work is to you. And this is our home!
Charlie: All right. Then I'll tell you what. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. We're moving to Seattle.
Bailey: You can't do that, Charlie.
Charlie: The hell I can't!

TV Show: Party of Five
Bailey: There's no way you can do this, Charlie, ok? You can't! So you go. You go, and you do what you have to do. We're not going with you.
Claudia: We're gonna get split up.
Bailey: That's right. That's right. I hope you can live with that, Charlie.

TV Show: Party of Five
Claudia: I was just making a list of who would take what... I mean, if we get split up.
Bailey: Look, Claud. The thing is... if Charlie goes to Seattle, we'll go with him.
Claudia: Even after what you said?
Bailey: Yeah.
Claudia: I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Bailey: Yeah, me neither. But maybe if we're all together, it won't be so bad.

Julia: God, what do you want me to do--hold your hand?
Bailey: No, I want you to actually HELP me!
Julia: What do you think I've been doing 9 miserable hours for the last two days?
Bailey: Maybe daydreaming about getting to second base with Justin!

TV Show: Party of Five
Bailey: I don't know...it's like I'm trying to keep from drowning, and I keep getting reminded of how easy it's been for you.
Julia: It hasn't been that easy.
Bailey: But at least you have Justin.
Julia: Yeah...I guess.

TV Show: Party of Five
Julia: I'm not the one who failed, this is so unfair! I'm having a great time, for the first time in so long. I want to spend time with Justin, that's all I want to do! And now all this stuff about Seattle and having to study with you...
Bailey: So...what, is that a good reason to just ditch me?
Julia: You know what? You treat me like some baby with brains, you know? Like there's something silly or cute about being in love. Why should I help you?
Bailey: Because I'm in trouble. And I'm your brother.

Charlie: Cut it out, Claudia!
Claudia: You never listen to a thing I say!
Charlie: I don't wanna hear this...

Claudia: I'm sorry, Charlie.
Charlie: Yeah, well, just help me look for it.

Claudia: But I...
Charlie: OK?

Bailey: I can't love anymore, it's too hard. So I'm not going to love anyone, and I don't want anyone to love me.

Charlie: You know, Claud, when the doctor says there's a 98 percent chance you're gonna be fine, that's a good sign.
Claudia: I know.
Charlie: Well, if you know, then what's the problem?
Claudia: What if it's that 2 percent?
Charlie: It won't be. That's what 2 percent means.
Claudia: No, that's what zero percent means.

Charlie: Yeah. I'm the boss. I'm the boss, and kind of the dad... a couple of hours from now, I'll be the husband. If I had a clue how to be even one of those I'd be happy. [pause] There was this woman tonight. Last night, whatever it was. She wanted me to go to bed with her... and she was pretty and needy. Always a good combination, right George? It felt like this test, you know? The snake offering the apple, that kind of thing. And I said no. So if it was a test I passed it. Which means I ought to be feeling pretty good about it now. So, let me ask you a question. How come I still feel like I want to run away someplace? How come I feel like I can't breathe? How come it feels like someone's got their fist around my lungs?
