Elli and Karen argue
Elli: Karen... Maybe it's none of my business but.... you shouldn't worry your mom and dad.

Karen: You're right, it's none of your business.

Elli: What are you going to do if something happens when you're gone! You might regret it later.

Karen: I don't think living far away is such a bad thing. It's worse when a child falls victim to their parents. Sadder for both.

Elli: You'll regret it later, you know!

(Elli leaves, Karen gets all mopey)

Karen: No regrets, you mean? Regretting changes nothing. Anyway, it's my choice, not yours.

Karen makes booze out of EVERYTHING
Karen: You're giving this to me? Can I make wine with the flower petals?

Popuri: Oh, Karen. Everything turns into wine in your hands, doesn't it?

Karen: It's delicious, it smells good too....

Popuri: Let me taste your Moondrop wine when it's done. <3 I'll be looking forward to it.

Karen: OK, bye.

Trivia

 * If you don't name your baby, Karen will name him. She gives him the name "Gary".
 * The Harvest Sprites mention that the Vineyard's grape vines have been sleeping for the past 20 years, but were awake when the lady who made the Door to Heaven (Karen's Grandmother, Eve) was alive. That means Eve died 20 years prior to the beginning of the game.
 * Karen's age is estimated to be 23 based on a combination of in-game dialogue and information referenced in Bokujou Monogatari 2 Official Guide Book: Welcome to My Ranch. Since Eve has been deceased 20 years, and Gotz mentions Karen became loud around age 3 or 4, it could be that there was a lot of turmoil during that time that resulted in her change in behavior (a family loss). She is also of drinking age, and as Kai is only 20 and spends most of his time at the bar because Karen is there (where he can't drink), it is assumed she is of drinking age (over 21).

Cheatin' Heart
Karen is actually the easiest girl to marry if you know the proper way to go about it. For every 50 or so times that you show her your dog her heart level goes up once. Best way to do this without eating up a lot of in-game time is to take your dog to the bar when Karen's there and repetitively talk to her while holding the dog. It takes a little while, and it's a bit boring, but it's a lot faster (and cheaper) then giving her gifts.
