Trouble results when the speed of growth exceeds the speed of nurturing human resources. To use the analogy of growth rings in a tree, when unusually rapid growth caused the rings to grow abnormally thick, the tree trunk weakens and is easily broken.

Paul Smecker: Now, you Irish cops are perking up. That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing.

Professor: Now, is there anyone here that can tell me why... most alligators are abnormally aggressive? Anybody? Anyone? Yes, sir. You, sir.
Bobby Boucher: Mama says that alligators are ornery... 'cause they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.
Professor: [Chuckling] Yo mama said, alligators are ornery 'cause they got all them

teeth... and no toothbrush. Wow! Anybody else? Yes, sir. You, sir.
Student: Alligators are aggressive because of an enlarged medulla oblongata. It's the sector of the brain which controls aggressive behavior.
Professor: That is correct! The medulla oblongata...
Bobby Boucher: But Mama said...
Professor:

The medulla oblongata... is where anger, jealousy and aggression come from. Now, is there anybody here can tell me where happiness comes from? Anyone? All right, let's hear what Mama has to say on the subject.
Bobby Boucher: Mama say that happiness is from magic rays of sunshine that come down when you feelin' blue.
Professor: [Chuckling] Well,

folks, Mama's wrong again.
Bobby Boucher: No, Colonel Sanders, you're wrong. Mama's right. You're all wrong. Mama's right. Mama's right!
Professor: Somethin' wrong with his medulla oblongata.

Mama Dietl: My beautiful daughter-in-law!
Susan Murphy: Hi, Mama Dietl.
Mama Dietl: It's like a fairy tale. The weatherman and the weatherman's wife. Aww - romantic.
Susan Murphy: Oh, I know. Just think - this time tomorrow, I'm gonna be in Paris! And someday, we won't just be honeymooning there. Derek will

become an anchor, or a foreign correspondent, and we'll travel all over the world.
Mama Dietl: Ach, Honey, my fingers are crossed.
[Susan notices Mama Dietl's abnormally small right thumb]
Mama Dietl: One thumb is shorter than the other. It runs in the family.
Susan Murphy: Derek doesn't have that.
Mama

Dietl: It skips a generation. Your kids are gonna have it!

Marin: Are you crying?
Erica Barry: Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Marin: Why? What is it?
Erica Barry: I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I gotta learn how to that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Marin: Oh mom, I hate this. Now do you

get my theory about all this? You gotta self-protect.
Erica Barry: You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Marin: I think it's worth trying.
Erica Barry: Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out...

maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Marin: Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?
Erica Barry: I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Marin: I've never had the time of my life.

Erica Barry: I know, baby. And I say this from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
