Quote from Mitchell in Ten Years Later
Mitchell: So, uh, what's all this? Cameron: This is redemption. Mitchell: Maybe just a straight answer. Cameron: The year was 2007. The wedding reception of Jay and Gloria. Our gift to the newlyweds was a duet performance of "Islands in the Stream." Mitchell: "Islands in the Stream." Cameron: A gift that would never be, because... Mitchell: I remember. [aside to camera:] Mitchell: I fed my mom a few drinks at the reception. I really did not want to sing, so I figured if I got her a little tipsy, I wouldn't have to perform because I'd have to hold her hand... And later hold her hair back.
