Season 1

Martha Speaks / Martha Gives Advice [1.01]

Entire family: Martha, be quiet!

Martha: (gasps) What seems to be the problem?

Danny: You talk too much!

Mariella: You never stop jabbering!

Helen: Sometimes I wish you never learned how to speak!

(Martha's feelings are crushed, and she slowly walks away.)

Martha Blah Blah / Skits Behaves [1.06]

Granny Flo: Bye-bye B, Sayounara S, too-dle-too T, adios A!

Oh, Nooo! / Bye, Martha [1.10]

Martha: Quiet, baby Jake! This is history in the making! This guy singing could become an international superstar!

Helen: Except, I don't think he's going to win.

Martha: Well, he might if we called a number of times and voted for him.

Mariella: We can't do that, Martha. It would be dishonest. We're only allowed to vote once. (beat) Commercial's on! Popcorn time!

(Mariella gets up to find popcorn)

Danny: (reads newspaper) Oh no, it says here that Granny's alphabet soup is really taking a licking. No, it's an expression. Taking a licking means something isn't going well. It says here that Grandma Flo is really losing money.

Martha in Charge / Truman and the Deep Blue Sea [1.13]

Alice: Could you please get your nose out of that book for one minute? What are you reading something so interesting anyway?

Truman: The Odyssey: It's a about a hero who's lost at sea, and he has to overcome all sorts of obstacles before he can get home!

Alice: Does he see any whales? Because that's what you're about to see!

Martha Runs the Store [1.19]

Danny: ahh... you've got a nap for this, Daniel!

(the phone rings)

Helen's All Thumbs / Martha's Dirty Habit [1.30]

Television advertisement: Do you have an irresistible craving that nothing will stop? (explains the definition of "craving", Daniel peeks over) Maybe you crave the deep, rich ... perhaps you have a weakness, unstoppable urge for the thick chunky chocolate... (Daniel sweats and walks away)

Martha: What about you?

Danny: Hey, I was just thinking (touches the cookie jar) it's pretty silly to stop digging all at once. What if you just went outside and dug a little?

Martha: Yeah, I know what you mean. :(Daniel stops touching the jar of cookies)

Television advertisment: Crunchy graham crackers, chocolate nougat, all in one irresistible bar! The crave bar! It's what you crave! Come on! Give in to the urge!

Martha the Witness / Martha Takes a Stand [1.32]

Martha: This is a matter of principle!

Danny: Principle? A principle is something you believe in very, very strongly, like being a good neighbor. But there is one principle I believe in above all others. A man has the right to not be bossed around by any of his pets!

(Mariella is reading a book)

Mariella: Good principle.

Season 2

The Jakey Express / Martha Sled Dog [2.07]

(Danny gets out the spare tire out of the car to the amusement of Helen)

Danny: It would make a great sled!

(End of flashback)

Danny: Okay, it looks like I forgot to put the spare tire back in.

Skits on Ice / Martha's Steamed! [2.11]

Danny: Helen!

Helen: Yes, dad?

Danny: (eating out of a tub of ice cream) Why won't T.D.'s dad let him put his shoes in the freezer anymore?

Helen: Because his dad says they make the ice cream taste like feet.

(Danny starts becoming nauseous and throws up the ice cream in the sink while Helen walks away)
