Carla: Do you love him?
Serafina: Yes.
Carla: Then don't marry him.
Serafina: What?
Carla: The worst thing you could do, Serafina, is marry for love. You know, when I first met your deadbeat father, Nick, I loved him, too. And even when he knocked up my sister, I said... Hey, look, the guy is just trying to get in good with the family at my wedding. But for the next ten years, all he did was cheat on me, treat me like dirt and keep me in maternity clothes.
Serafina: Mom, it's not like that. Pat's a good man. He loves me and I love him, and we want to build a life for our baby. Please give us your blessing.
Carla: Well... you're not gonna get that alimony by staying single.
