Quotes 

• [Struggling to come up with nice things to say about Gina] 

  Mason : Well, I never actually saw her pull the wings off butterflies.

• Mason : Someday I think it would be amusing if great historians debated who was worse CC Capwell or Attila the Hun.

• Gina : Mason be nice. Act normal for a change.

  Mason : Nice isn't normal for me.

• Courtney : Mason, you look wonderful in your tux.

  Mason : But not as lovely as you two ladies. What did you do, Madeline, mug a chandelier on the way in?

• Julia Wainwright Capwell : No, Gracie, you can't push yet! Not 'til the baby's head's out!

  Mason : Julia, if the woman wants to push...

  Julia Wainwright Capwell : What'd you do, get a uterus for Christmas?

• Mason : You want me to be the boy's father when my father is already his father, and his real father was my brother who wasn't really my brother?

• Mason : My father isn't home. He's probably out foreclosing on an orphanage.

• Mason : [Warren shows up looking disheveled and asking for C.C]  Most people look like this after they've seen him, not before.

• Mason : My father is going through one of his phases. It happens every 12 years or so, all of a sudden he starts being nice. Something to do with the orbit of Jupiter I believe. I could almost hear his smile muscles creaking.

• Mason : Lily knew what was best for me. All she had to do was to touch my forehead and I lost my desire for alcohol.

  Gina Timmons : I wonder what she had to touch to make you forget about sex.

  Mason : Gina, men aren't as simple as you think.

  Gina Timmons : And now you're going to explain it all to me. Everything I've always wanted to know about men, but was too bored to ask.

• Gina Timmons : Mason, would you like me better if I basked in glorious light and donned a white robe?

  Mason : As I recall, disrobing was your specialty.

• Mason : Come on Julia, don't be so rigid, you might enjoy working for me. Besides, if as you say, I have some grand design, you might end up in high places.

  Julia : Where, on the edge of a cliff, ready to jump?

• Gina Timmons : I'm going to arrange for Ted and Hayley to live with us after C.C. and I are married. We're going to be one big happy family.

  Mason : Like Ma Barker and her kids.

• Gina Timmons : I get so emotional, I always want to cry at weddings.

  Mason : I imagine your husbands do the same thing.

• Mason : [Talking to Lily about Gina's upcoming wedding]  Gina and high society, there's a contradiction in terms. Why don't you buy her a blender and then put her in it.

• Julia : You and I both know a lot of ambitious people, including every member of your family. Can you name one of us who's actually happy?

  Mason : my grandfather's third cousin Maude was said to have been a merry old soul. At least that's what her psychiatrist claimed.
