So, I understand you're thinking of having a baby.

How (are) you doing with your contractions?

They're every four minutes and last 55 seconds.

Who the hell is Jordie?

We all agreed my son's name is Jamie.

Look, Carol never threw me out of a room before you came along.

Well, there's a lot of things Carol never did before I came along.

I should be in there, you know, instead of stuck in a closet with you.

Believe me! No one has been waiting for this as much as I have!

When this day is over, you get to go home with the baby.

You get to be the baby's father.

Everyone knows who you are.

When I was growing up, you know, my dad left, and my mother died, and my stepfather went to jail.

...who care about it so much that they're fighting over who gets to love it the most.

It's just the luckiest baby in the whole world.
