Bev: oh i see!! You're still hung up on Natalie being pregnant...
Mrs. G: Beverly ann you let Natalie make a horrible decission!
Bev: How was i supposed to know she was gonna have sex?
Mrs. G: You were supposed to keep an eye on her!!
Bev: Why? They don't need me running their lives, telling them what to do! The only person in this house that i can boss around is Andy, only cuz he's my son! Hell, I can even boss around Pippa (says to self) i love being in authority! (smiles)
Mrs. G: Well then what was the point of your ocmming to live here if you weren't going to keep an eye on the girls?
Bev: To keep them out of trouble, and to make sure the store went well!
Mrs. G: Well you did a good job with keeping the store well, It's Closed Now!!
Bev: Look Edna, you were 19 when you had Raymond!! So why can't Natalie be 20 and have her first child?
Mrs. G: (looks away) that's different...
Bev: How?
Mrs. G: (looks at Bev) I was married!!
Bev: So she jumped the gun!
Mrs. G: So... Natalie hasn't even finished collage... how will she finish now with a baby... she will have nobody to watch the kid, not enough money FOR college!
Bev: She can do it! She's a flexible woman...
Mrs. G: (sighs and gets up) I don't need to know how flexible Beverly Ann (goes into kitchen)
Bev: (shouts to mrs. g) She is her own woman Edna... she is!
Nat: (walks down the stairs) What's all the shouting at?
Bev: Oh just Edna...
Nat: (sighs) she's mad huh?
Bev: uh yea... you could say that!
Nat: I am responsible for this... not you! or her!
Bev: I know that Nat... Just give it some time... she's kinda stuck in a time warp... she's changed... Bruce has changed her... she's been gone for 2 years! She'll be fine with it when she realizes you are an older and grown up adult... You'll see!
Nat: Ok ok... you better stop opening your mouth, cuz the words taht are comming out of it are the words of mrs. edna garrett... and they are not beverly ann's!!
Bev: thanks!! (sarcastic) I can be known to give advice every now and again...
Nat: sure whatever! (walks up the stairs)

Mrs. g: I'm glad you see things that way (still mad)
Nat: Mrs. G! (sighs) I know what you're thinking...
Mrs. G: Oh? what's that?
Nat: You're thinking that it's somebody's fault but my own! But it isn't your fault, it isn't Bev's fault... it's MINE!! And I'm sorry that you feel I made a mistake... but I don't!! (angry)
Mrs. G: Natalie...
Nat: what!! (snaps)
Mrs. G: You're soo... positive and taking responsiblities for your actions... I'm proud of you! (smiles) Not proud that you had sex before marriage but proud that you are taking responsibilities for your actions!
Nat: becuase I've been through all of this with myself... it's not like I'm in high school and pregnant! I'm 20... and I've learned to take my responsibilities into my own hands... and not lay the blame on others...
Mrs. G: Sorry Natalie! Being gone for two years really has me mixed up... so much has happened... But you have definatley become an adult who can take care of herself. I didn't like to admit when you girls could take care of yourselves... but i got used to it! (smiles) but now is when I don't like to admit that you are all going to be having children of your own and are definatley grown up... (smiles at the girls)
Blair: you didn't seem to be upset by us growing up....
Mrs. G: No... that's the easy part! When you girls become the parent like figure to kids who aren't your own... you'll see that you attach yourself to them like a friend! and when they hurt you hurt... same rules as friends... and that is what we are... that is what i hope i am to you... a friend!
Nat: no mrs. g you aren't...
Mrs. G: what?
Nat: You're a second mother to me!! (hugs Mrs. Garrett)
Mrs. G: (kinda surprised) really??
Tootie: Of course!! (joins in the hug)

Mrs. G: oh great!! I get to have not only my 2 sons lives to be responsible i also have you 4!! (sarcastic)
Blair: yup!! and if i'm completey broke by the time i'm 30 I have you to blame! (jokes)
Tootie: (picks book up) what do you all think of red and white roses?
Blair: what?
Tootie: flowers!
Mrs. G: That would be beautiful!!
Tootie: It better be! It's my wedding day!!
Nat: And night!! (smiles)

Mrs. G: Beverly ann you let Natalie make a horrible decission!
Bev: How was i supposed to know she was gonna have sex?
Mrs. G: You were supposed to keep an eye on her!!
Bev: Why? They don't need me running their lives, telling them what to do! The only person in this house that i can boss around is Andy, only cuz he's my son! Hell, I can even boss around Pippa (says to self) i love being in authority! (smiles)

Bev: How?
Mrs. G: (looks at Bev) I was married!!
Bev: So she jumped the gun!
Mrs. G: So... Natalie hasn't even finished collage... how will she finish now with a baby... she will have nobody to watch the kid, not enough money FOR college!
Bev: She can do it! She's a flexible woman...
Mrs. G: (sighs and gets up) I don't need to know how flexible Beverly Ann (goes into kitchen)
Bev: (shouts to mrs. g) She is her own woman Edna... she is!
Nat: (walks down the stairs) What's all the shouting at?
Bev: Oh just Edna...
Nat: (sighs) she's mad huh?
Bev: uh yea... you could say that!
Nat: I am responsible for this... not you! or her!
Bev: I know that Nat... Just give it some time... she's kinda stuck in a time warp... she's changed... Bruce has changed her... she's been gone for 2 years! She'll be fine with it when she realizes you are an older and grown up adult... You'll see!
Nat: Ok ok... you better stop opening your mouth, cuz the words taht are comming out of it are the words of mrs. edna garrett... and they are not beverly ann's!!
Bev: thanks!! (sarcastic) I can be known to give advice every now and again...

Bev: (Laughs) Aunt Edna??
Andy: yea... Mrs. G I mean... Aunt Edna is your sister and you're my mother so that makes her my aunt...
Bev: No, but you're my adoptive son, which makes Edna your adoptive aunt, which means you call her adoptive aunt edna?? (confussed)

Nat: (pauses and then says) Way to go Mrs. Garrett! (mad)
Mrs. G: Gaines!! (more mad)
Nat: What ever!! I was ready to sleep with Snake so I'm ready for whatever happens now!!
Mrs. g: I'm glad you see things that way (still mad)
Nat: Mrs. G! (sighs) I know what you're thinking...
Mrs. G: Oh? what's that?
Nat: You're thinking that it's somebody's fault but my own! But it isn't your fault, it isn't Bev's fault... it's MINE!! And I'm sorry that you feel I made a mistake... but I don't!! (angry)
Mrs. G: Natalie...
Nat: what!! (snaps)
Mrs. G: You're soo... positive and taking responsiblities for your actions... I'm proud of you! (smiles) Not proud that you had sex before marriage but proud that you are taking responsibilities for your actions!
Nat: becuase I've been through all of this with myself... it's not like I'm in high school and pregnant! I'm 20... and I've learned to take my responsibilities into my own hands... and not lay the blame on others...
Mrs. G: Sorry Natalie! Being gone for two years really has me mixed up... so much has happened... But you have definatley become an adult who can take care of herself. I didn't like to admit when you girls could take care of yourselves... but i got used to it! (smiles) but now is when I don't like to admit that you are all going to be having children of your own and are definatley grown up... (smiles at the girls)
Blair: you didn't seem to be upset by us growing up....
Mrs. G: No... that's the easy part! When you girls become the parent like figure to kids who aren't your own... you'll see that you attach yourself to them like a friend! and when they hurt you hurt... same rules as friends... and that is what we are... that is what i hope i am to you... a friend!
Nat: no mrs. g you aren't...
Mrs. G: what?
Nat: You're a second mother to me!! (hugs Mrs. Garrett)
Mrs. G: (kinda surprised) really??
Tootie: Of course!! (joins in the hug)
Blair: alwyas!! (joins in too) Mrs. Garrett... you basically raised us and we turned out the way we are today becuase of you...
Mrs. G: oh great!! I get to have not only my 2 sons lives to be responsible i also have you 4!! (sarcastic)
Blair: yup!! and if i'm completey broke by the time i'm 30 I have you to blame! (jokes)
Tootie: (picks book up) what do you all think of red and white roses?
Blair: what?
Tootie: flowers!
Mrs. G: That would be beautiful!!
Tootie: It better be! It's my wedding day!!
Nat: And night!! (smiles)
Tootie: At least I'll be married!!
Nat: Oh no you don't... Don't go starting this!! (angry)
Tootie: (says slowly and bitchy) At least I'll be married!!
Nat: You bitch!! (goes up the stairs)
Mrs. G: (gives an angry look at tootie)
Tootie: what?
