Quote from Al in 'Twas the Flight Before Christmas
Al: I made a promise before my dad died that I would take care of my mother. And I just... I can't turn my back on her. Tim: Wait a minute. No one's asking you to do that. I think Ilene just wants to feel that she won't take a back seat to your mother. I mean, is she or is she not the most important woman in your life? Al: She's the most important woman under 50. Tim: You gotta do better than that, Al. Al: I don't know if I can! Tim: When you made that promise to your dad, don't you think he would've wanted you to fall in love and have a family? Al: You're right. Tim: I know I'm right. If your dad were here right now, what would he be saying? Al: "Al, stay with Mother. I'm going to the track." I see your point. I think I have to set some limits with my mother. Tim: Yes. Al: And I'm gonna start by getting rid of this stupid beeper.
