Quote from George in The Raincoats
George: Hey could you do one other thing for me? Jerry: Name it. George: You think your parents would have any objections to taking a little kid to Paris with them? It turns out that the kid's father lives in Paris. [chuckling] Is that a coincidence? And, you know, Alec wants me to take him over there so I figure as long as they're going... Jerry: So you thought as long as they're mailing postcards, it wouldn't be too much to ask my parents to drag a child who they've never seen, through the streets of Paris? George: ... All right, if you think it's too much, they don't have to mail the postcards.
