Marty O'Reilly
- Marty O'Reilly: [spoken to Bob to make him understand how much Bob meant to Grace] I know that what's happened has been overwhelming. And I know it's going to take a while to sort it all out. But while you're sorting, I want you to remember that all the times I prayed that Gracie would have a second chance at life, I always knew that if God blessed us, the heart she got would have to be from a very special person, if it were going to be at home in Grace. When she met you, her heart beat truly for the first time. Perhaps it was meant to be with you always.
- [Self-conscious about her heart transplant scars, Grace checks her appearance in a mirror]
- Angelo: Grace, come on, it's been over a year, you can hardly see it anymore.
- Grace Briggs: Nice try, Angelo. I just don't like all the questions, you know?
- Marty: You tell everybody you're just the luckiest girl in the world.
- Grace Briggs: I know, Grandpa, I know.
- Marty: You're beautiful, and no one's going to notice your chest.
- Grace Briggs: Thanks a lot.
- Marty: It's the character that's the strongest that God gives the most challenges to. Now you can take that as a compliment.
- Marty O'Reilly: [as Grace and Bob are going out to the garden for a glass of wine] I put the special candle out there that repels all the bugs, every species but one.
- Wally Jatczak: Marty, what species is that?
- Marty O'Reilly: The saber toothed fly.
- Marty: [to Angelo, who is singing Italian songs loudly in the kitchen] Will you go find yourself a gondola?
- Marty: This guy you're talking about, he can't sing at all.
- Angelo: He can't sing? Then why has he got such a big band?
- Wally Jatczak: To drown him out!
