Quote from Hal in Hal's Birthday
Hal: Why didn't you tell us you were getting married? Francis: I don't know, Dad. It just happened kinda fast. Hal: How can you know anyone in a month? Francis: Dad, I knew in a minute. Trust me, Piama is the one. She's a little fiery, but she's also kind and funny and completely real. You just haven't gotten to know the real Piama. Hal: And who's fault is that? Francis: I know, I know, but that's why I brought her, so you everyone could get to know her. It wasn't supposed to turn into the Apocalypse! And what about you and Mom? You got married pretty quick. Hal: Yes, but I was a few years older, I'd already been with a lot of... I had lived a full life. Francis: So you were older. I just happened to run into the exact right person for me a little earlier than you did. Once you meet that person, why wait? Huh? Why not do it if I'm sure? Should I not do it 'cause my family's not sure? It wouldn't matter if the wedding was last week, or next week, or 10 years from now, you and Mom would've had a problem with it. All my life- Hal: I would've come, Francis. Francis: What? Hal: If you had invited me, I would've come. Francis: Really? I'm sorry.
