Quote from Dick in My Mother the Alien
Dick: Mary, we have to talk. Mary: You have a dog. Dick: Yes. Mary, I want everything to go back to the way it was before I killed your fish. Mary: I'm afraid that's going to take some time. Dick: I know what it means to lose something that you care about, and what I did was very, very wrong. Mary: Why do you have a dog? Dick: Well, I went to the pet store to buy you some new fish, and I saw this cute little guy. Mary: Oh, Dick, I can't take care of a dog. Dick: If you can love a fish, you can love a dog. Mary: Well, he is kind of cute. Come here, boy. [The dog tries to hump Mary's leg] Dick: Oh, look at him. He loves you, Mary. He's so curious.
