Becky: Hey Earl, me and Dawn just decided you have attractive hair. Woooo! Go you!

Becky [to Jenna]: Oh yeah, you should have your own little pie shop somewhere. Somewhere where they could really use a little pie shop like Europe--or New Jersey.

Dr. Pomatter: So, what seems to be the problem?
Jenna: I seem to be pregnant
Dr. Pomatter: Congratulations!
Jenna: Thanks, but I'm not so happy about it like everybody else might be. I'm having the baby and that's that.

Dr. Pommatter: I want to talk to you, somewhere outside of here. Maybe we can have a coffee or something?
Jenna: I can't have coffee; it's on the bad food list you gave to me. What kind of doctor are you?

Jenna: Dr. Pommatter?
Dr. Pommatter: Yes, Jenna?
Jenna: I just want to make sure we're clear about one thing.
Dr. Pommatter: What's that, Jenna?
Jenna: I want drugs. I want massive amounts of drugs. I want the maximum legal limit of drugs.

Shh, the Movie's Starting!

Jenna's plan was to win $25,000 in a pie-making contest, leave her controlling husband, and make scrumptious pies happily ever after. But things rarely go according to plan. Cases in point: getting pregnant with her husband's baby never figured in, and she certainly hadn’t planned on having an affair with her doctor. She doesn't quite know what to do except keep making her to-die-for pies at the diner where she waitresses and come up with plan B.
