I admit my credibility is a bit suspect right now.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
One man. One prom. Two dates. Each date ignorant of the other's existence. You know, we're gonna make history, Skip. We have an appointment with destiny.
Well, cancel it, Alex. I'm scared.
Relax, Skip. Okay, let's go over the plan once more. Now, the north end of the gym is now called...
Area "A".
Okay. At no point is Rachel to enter area "A" - prior to 8:57.
Got it.
Okay, now - areas "B" and "D" are free zones which means... Either girl may enter, provided the band is not on a break at the time.
Very good.
Okay, now remember when I'm with Rachel, I'm gonna be wearing the blue boutonniere. When I'm with Jocelyn - the red one.
Uh-h, Rachel, Jocelyn, red, blue. - Got it.
- Okay. Now, there are emergency exits at either end of the gymnasium. The master switch box is behind the blue wrestling mat. This will allow you to switch off the lights, lower the backboards, and in case of an emergency, open the floor over the swimming pool. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Listening to you really reminded me of the old days, Elyse.

Makes me want to go out and... boycott some lettuce.
Hey, have you, uh... Have you chosen a stage name yet?
A stage name?
Yeah. Something... with a little more pizzazz, Something other than Keaton. I was thinking Elyse Lamour.
Alex, she's a folk singer, not a stripper.
All right, all right. How about, uh... Ramblin' Elyse Lamour?
No, thanks, Alex.
How would you feel if you found out you were adopted?
Well... It would answer a lot of inconsistencies in my life.
Last time we saw each other, you were only a few weeks old.
So, tell me all about it. All the things we did together.
There's not much to tell. Basically, you ate, you slept, and you went through a lot of diapers.
Those were good times, weren't they?
Irwin, you may find this hard to believe, but I gave you away because I loved you. You were my baby boy.
[touched] You remembered my name.
I think it's best you don't come to visit me again.
Why not?
Irwin, you have parents. I'm sure you're very important to them. I have my own life too. [shrugs and grins awkwardly] I can't just become a mother like that, it's not that easy. It would be very disruptive for both of us; do you understand what I'm saying?
Yeah, I understand. You don't want me.
[he starts walking to the door]
[frustrated] Do you have any idea how painful it is seeing you again? It took me fifteen years to get my life together again and you just want to rip it apart again. What do you want from me?
Skippy': I want to know how you could do it. How could you? How could you just give me away?
It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
But you still did it!
I wanted you to have a good life. I couldn't give it to you.
I didn't know you kept a diary Jennifer, I thought I was the only one who did.
No no, yours is the only one we read.
Great events make great men.
You know that I can only do things one way. Out of control.
After I "zoquo", I like to "ushnuu"
...Yeah, I believe in God.

You surprise me, Alex. A bottom-line guy like yourself. I didn't think you would believe.
Well, part of me is a little nervous about it. I like to know what I know: see it, be able to prove it on a test— to know it, to learn it, and be done…And I just got a feeling that you keep getting tested on this one.
Everyone, I want you to meet Jamie Carter.
Alex [Jumping into his father's lap on the couch]: AAAUGH!
Alex, she said Jamie, not Jimmy.
