Delia Shiraz: Look at Uncle Stephen. And Auntie Liz. I'm counting the minutes for this to be over so I can get in my big girl pants.
Liz: You look fantastic. You just had a baby.
Delia Shiraz: Oh, you're lying. I'm fat, I'm exhausted...I can't keep two thoughts. I feel like Liza Minnelli. Stephen, can you hold Jack? I'm gonna introduce you to Walter.
Stephen: Yeah. Hey, dude, you wanna grab a beer or something?
Liz: My new book comes out in April. Thank you for asking.
Walter: Great.

Andre: Nice to finally meet you.
Stephen: I fed him nachos. Is that bad?
Andy Shiraz: You look comfortable. What'd you feed him, chloroform? Give him to his dad.

Liz: I will laugh at you, but you still have to tell me. Come on.
Delia Shiraz: Under the bed. I've been filling it with baby things...waiting until Andy was ready to be a father.
Liz: So sweet. Does this come in my size? I have a box just like this, except it's filled with National Geographics...and The Times travel section. All the places I wanna see before I die.
Delia Shiraz: Liz, having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You kind of wanna be fully committed.
