Line 3:
* ''Any'' time Clair loses her cool. Many of them also double as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] for her.
** There's one in season 2 when Denise wanted to impulsively buy a car that was more-than obviously a complete lemon and complained that it was, "her money in her account" and wondered if America was still a free country.
{{quote| '''Clair''': "If you ever try to pull anything like this on us again, missy, then you can leave this house, take that money, and go ''discover'' America."}}
** Also in season 2, when she delivers the equivalent of a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] to Elvin's [[Stay in the Kitchen]] attitude. It even frightens Cliff.
{{quote| '''Cliff''': "Elvin, when she brings that coffee back... If I were you, I wouldn't drink it."}}
** Season 4: Sondra tells Clair that she's changed her mind about going to law school.
{{quote| '''Sondra''': Mom...<br />
'''Clair''': Yes?<br />
'''Sondra''': I'm not going to law school.<br />
'''Clair''': (tries to be calm) What?<br />
'''Sondra''': I decided not to go to law school.<br />
'''Clair''': What do you mean you ''decided'' not to go to law school?<br />
'''Sondra''': Well this is our dream. So I'm going to take a temporary job while the Wilderness Store opens then I'll be working side by side with my husband <br />
'''Clair''': Sondra, what are you saying? You have always wanted to go to law school, you haven't talked about anything else!<br />
'''Sondra''': I changed my mind.<br />
'''Clair''': Change it back! After all that money we spent sending you to Princeton? Sondra, you owe us $79,647.22! And I want my money '''now'''! *''Cliff tries to drag Clair out of the room and into the kitchen, but she refuses''* I'm not going anywhere without my money! *''Cliff tries again''* I'll take whatever she's got! Empty her pockets! }}
** Season 5: To say that she disapproves of Vanessa and her friends' less-than-modest attire for a singing competition is a massive understatement.
Line 23:
* Theo convincing the school to re-do the auditions for drum major not because Vanessa lost, but because he learned the judging was rigged.
* Sondra has to be ''the'' only one to not only stand up to Clair, but her mother-in-law at the same time.
{{quote| '''Sondra''': "You are my mother. I am ''their'' mother! If either of you ever try anything like this again the next time you see these children will be at their college graduation!}}
** This is also the only time in the entire series when anyone stands up to Clair and Clair backs down. Every other attempt ends with Clair coming back out on top.
*** [[Mama Bear|Mama Bears]] recognize and respect other [[Mama Bear|Mama Bears]].
