"Lord, I thank you for the presence of Charles, Sal and my boys this year. I am also thankful that you've given my dear Joyce a future husband. And I thank you for any possible future offspring, and may they come swiftly. I need grandkids, blessit. So would you please let them know with subtlety to stop doing it in the ass or pulling out or whatever the hell they're doing to rob me of my babies."

Kathryn: So instead of nagging your son about producing grandchildren, you nag women who may or may not be remotely interested in him?
General Tagon: This is a new tactic. I guess I do both.
Kathryn: For as stupid as your selfish DNA is, I'm surprised you were able to reproduce at all.
General Tagon: The boy's mother used to say the same thing.

Derek: Mother, I promise, no one wants children as much as Odette and me.

The King: I'm not getting any younger you know. I-I want to see my grandchildren before I go.
The Duke: I understand sire-
The King: No. No, you don't understand what it means to see your only child: grow farther, and farther, and farther away from you. I'm... I'm lonely in this desolate old palace. I... I want to hear the pitter-patter of little feet again.

Maxwell Sheffield: Ladies, tell me: What could be better than my new play being nominated for a Tony Award?
You have no idea how much pressure my clansmen put on me to get married and have children as soon as possible. "When are you going to marry, Mei-chan, you're already pushing thirty", "You know, Mei-chan, if you marry too old, you won't be able to have children", "Mei-chan when your older siblings were your age, they already had at least one kid." Well sorry for not marrying and having children as soon as you wanted, mom, but I was busy leading a FUCKING REBELLION!
