The Quote

Quote from Hal in Family Reunion

[dream sequence:]
Hal: All I want is two seconds of honest, human conversation with my own father. I mean, what is so awful about me that he has to distance himself with jokes and silly faces?
Jesus: Hal, you're not going to make any progress if you keep personalizing other people's problems. We've talked about this.
Hal: You just don't get it. How could you? You don't have any father issues.
Jesus: I'm blessed.
Hal: There's got to be some way to break this cycle. Some way to make my dad let his guard down and engage me on an emotional level- Are you even listening?
Jesus: Sorry.
Hal: Oh!
Jesus: Hal, the answer to this is simple. You just have to look at your life. Look at what you've accomplished. You have a good relationship with your sons. They can talk to you about anything. You have a wife and home and family a lot of people would envy. You're past this.
Hal: You think?
Jesus: Yes, I do. Hal, you're all grown up.
[Hal wakes up in bed]
Hal: [gasps] Uh-oh.
Lois: What?
Hal: I- I wet the bed.
