Rosie

Carl: So, you're one of the prejudiced ones. I knew it.
Cherry: Prejudiced? When did stating a fact become prejudice? Don't you think you're a bit too touchy about the subject? I'm going to join my friend now. You should try to relax a little. And find someone of your own age.

Rosie

Carl: What did I tell you?
Andy: Before you start using that as a proof of your theory, maybe you should take a look at her friend.
Carl: What...?
Billy: Nice theory, Carl. Fortunately, it doesn't hold.

Next day:
Anika: Where's my favorite girl? Where's little Rosie?
Kitty: Grandma, how many times do I have to tell you?
Anika: All right, all right, but you're really blowing it out of proportion. - There you are, Rosie. Won't you say something to grandma?
Kitty: You know quite well...
Anika: I know, I know, but I'm sure she'll start speaking any day now.

Rosie 24

Rosie

Anika: Kitty, has she just been drinking milk?
Kitty: Yes. Maybe you should not lift her up right now.
Anika: That's just what I was thinking. - So, any news?
Kitty: Didn't mother tell you? The doctor we went to for a second opinion said that because of the "unique circumstances," there were bound to be some problems.
Anika: Doctors don't know anything. I'm sure she'll be just fine.

Rosie 25

Rosie

Mary: Bea, I have told you that you shouldn't pay any attention to that. She's not our grandma.
Bea: I know.
Mary: She's an old lady and old ladies go all funny with babies.
Bea: I know.
Mary: Have you noticed that Rosie isn't that keen on her?
Bea: Really?

Rosie 26

Rosie

Mary: The other day, when Rosie puked all over her, she did it on purpose.
Bea: Teehee. How do you know?
Mary: I could swear she smirked. Don't tell Anika. - Come on, let's go downstairs.

Rosie 27

Rosie

Ruby: Oh, hi Billy! Where did you leave your brothers?
Billy: We're not inseparable, you know. I thought it best to come alone. - Ruby, I know you just met me, but would you go out with me? You know, movies or dinner... anything you like.
Ruby: I'm not sure. Are you talking about a date? I don't go on dates.
Billy: We don't need to call it a date. We'll just go out and have some fun. Nothing more.
Ruby: In that case, sure, I'd love to.

Rosie 28

Rosie

Billy: May I ask what's wrong with dates? Is it because of what I am? You don't date our kind? We little people are very much like your kind, just shorter.
Ruby: Oh, no, it's nothing like that. I just don't want anything even remotely serious right now.
Billy: All right, we won't be serious. I promise.

Rosie 29

Rosie

Schizo: Hi, Ruby. Who was the blondie?
Ruby: His name is Billy.
Schizo: New boyfriend?
Ruby: No, certainly not. Although... he did ask me out and I promised to go as long as it isn't a date.
Schizo: That's good. You need to move on. But why not a date?
Ruby: I don't want him to get the wrong idea.

Rosie 30

Rosie

Schizo: A date is just a date, not a promise for anything else. You just go out with a guy, have some fun, let him pay for everything, and go out with another guy the next day.
Ruby: I don't think it's fair.
Schizo: Sorry, I forgot you're one of the decent ones. Anyway, I hope you'll have fun with Billy boy. He looks very normal. That should be interesting after all us freaks.
Ruby: You're not a freak.
Schizo: And you're much too kind for your own good, did you know that?

Rosie 31

Rosie

Anika: Mary, be careful!
Mary: It's all right. Rosie loves this and I'm not going to drop her.
Anika: Kitty, how can you let her do that?
Kitty: Do what? Amuse Rosie? What kind of a question is that?
Anika: She's just a child herself. What if something happens?
Mary: I'm not a child. There's a girl in my class who already has a baby of her own.
Anika: What!?
Kitty: Mary, I think grandma is a bit too old to hear about certain facts of life.

Rosie 32

Rosie

Bea: What was Kitty like as a baby? And aunt Chase?
Anika: They were difficult babies, much more difficult than their mother.
Kitty: Grandma...
Anika: I'm not going to lie about that. Your mother was a much easier baby. You know, happy and content. Very obedient, too. - Kitty, on the other hand, was always going to places she shouldn't have gone. And Chase... well, you could say her being silent was an exception.

Rosie 33

Rosie

Anika: Kitty, you have no idea how easy you've got it. Rosie is such a happy baby and doesn't keep you up all night.
Kitty: I wouldn't mind a bit of that.

Rosie 34

Rosie

Anika: You would after not sleeping for a week.
Bea: I don't understand. Why wouldn't Kitty sleep?
Anika: Well, you see, normal babies...
Kitty: Maybe we shouldn't go into that. Bea, we can talk about that later.
Bea: Isn't Rosie a normal baby? Is that what you're trying to say?
Anika: I'm saying no such thing. Rosie is a perfectly normal baby.

Rosie 35

Rosie

Schizo: Max, where's the lovely lady? I hear you've been going out with her quite often lately.
Orlock: Don't you start that too. We're just friends.
Schizo: Whatever you say, my friend, but I wouldn't pass an opportunity as good as that one. Although I still haven't been able to figure out what it is she sees in you.
Ruby: Don't be rude. Of course she likes Max. Everybody likes Max, because he's nice.

Rosie 36

Rosie

Schizo: Still, if you think of the difference in height... It does present some problems. Problems of a very practical nature.
Ruby: Max, what is he talking about?
Orlock: Something that isn't good for his health.
Schizo: Relax. I'm just thinking of it hypothetically. - Ruby, can you imagine Max kissing her?
Ruby: Oh, I see. Yes, I guess it would be a bit difficult.
Orlock: Will you stop that already? I'm not going to kiss her.

Rosie 37

Rosie

Schizo: Maybe we should talk about something else. - Where's Riddick? And that lovely boss of yours, Abby?
Ruby: Abby is in the back room, going through some papers. And Riddick has the evening off.
Schizo: Enjoying quality time with the family, I imagine. I'd like to see their baby, but I'm not sure the baby would like to see me. Max, have you seen her?
Orlock: Not yet, for the same reason. Ruby has seen her though.
Schizo: Ruby, what's she like? Is she a feline?

Rosie 38

Rosie

Ruby: Yes, although she doesn't have a tail. She's so cute. You wouldn't believe she isn't all feline. She's so perfect... well, maybe not perfect, but still adorable.
Schizo: What does "not perfect" mean? Is there something wrong?
Ruby: She doesn't speak. There's nothing physically wrong with her, she just doesn't speak.
Schizo: Well, I'm sure it's temporary. Maybe she hasn't yet figured out anything worthwhile to say.
Orlock: Why do you always have to make jokes about everything? This is serious.
Schizo: What's so serious about it? They've got an otherwise healthy baby. That's more than some people get.

Rosie 39

Rosie

Bea: Why does Rosie get to sit on your lap?
Riddick: Because she's a baby and because she likes it.
Bea: It's not fair.
Riddick: Is that what's been bothering you? That's easy to fix.

Rosie 40

Rosie

Mary: What's going on?
Riddick: Equal treatment in action, so to speak.
Mary: I see. Well, in that case... Just joking, I'm a bit too old for that.
Riddick: Me too. These two are heavy enough.
