PAM: Read what?
JULIE: About sex! How am I going to stop her, she's far too young for that sort of thing!

JULIE: Deb...I know I'm only your stepmother, but you do know that if there's anything you want to discuss, mother to daughter, then I'm here to listen.
DEBBIE: Sure.
JULIE: You know, if the mother- daughter thing makes you feel uncomfortable, think of me as a big sister.
DEBBIE:(confused) Yeah, sure.

Phoebe comes in and isn't pleased to see Stephen there.

STEPHEN: Just thought I'd pop in and say hello.

PHOEBE: What do you want from me, anyway?! Leave me alone, every time I turn around, you're there. Just get out of my life.

JULIE: Debbie...I'm very disappointed in you.
DEBBIE:(confused) Why?
JULIE: You're not going to try to deny it, are you? You know, we weren't born yesterday.
DEBBIE: Dad, what's going on? Tell me. What's happening?
PHIL: Deb...all I want to know is, are you and Rick sleeping together?
DEBBIE:(laughs) No?! Not with Rick, not with anyone, I can't believe you're asking me this!
JIM: There's nothing *wrong* with sex, Debbie...it's just got to be for the right reasons, at the right time, and this is *not* the right time for you, you're too young.
DEBBIE: Too young? I'm old enough to make my own decisions in my own good time. And I don't see what it's got to do with any of you.
JULIE: But Debbie, you just can't believe everything you read in magazines.
DEBBIE: What magazine? What are you talking about?!
Julie shows her the magazine. Debbie is offended and says she doesn't appreciate their suspicion, or their conclusions.

PHOEBE: For all you know, he could be an axe- murderer. You've only met him a couple of times, Mim.
DOROTHY: Enough to want to find out more about him.
PHOEBE: Why? I don't.
DOROTHY: He seems like a nice young man. And he's very fond of you.
PHOEBE: It's bad enough him turning up every time I look around without you encouraging him!
There's a knock at the door and Phoebe answers it to Mr.Knotts. He tells her he's not cut out for the Principal job and looks very agitated. Dorothy tells him that he has to *demand* success. He says he can't wait for Dorothy to get back. Dorothy says she's resigned, but Mr.Knotts says he's only filling in until she's back from her holiday - the Education Department said so.
