VincentThis is what we call 'middle class angst.
VincentWriting is writing. It's even better when you get paid for it.
Vincent(to Lauren) Is guilt a genetic pre-disposition with the Gray women or is it a learned behavior?
VincentBefore I ask what's going on out front, I have a more important question. Are Peter and I too old for bunk beds?
VincentI was actually going to skip that exercise and slap a bunch of name tags on you, but I thought slapping you might be bad for me.
VincentShe's asleep.
She doesn't want me to tuck her in?
VincentNo. No, she's not interested. She says that she loves you, but that she's not in love with you. No, that was another conversation.
That's ridiculous! Cars just don't start moving.
VincentPlease, Judge, give me a chance. I don't want to go to jail.
Well, what are you going to do for me?
VincentI don't think Judge Barbie's supposed to say that.
Ok, bedtime!
VincentNo, no, no. It's a very bad idea to drink alone.
Well, it's either that or matricide.
VincentThen go ahead. I'll wait.
VincentYou sure can clear a room.
It hasn't worked on you yet.
Vincent (to Maxine): I just found this letter of acceptance for Dad. Why didn't he go to Yale Medical School?
The week your father was accepted, we found out I was pregnant with Peter.
VincentSo Dad quit his dreams and went into the insurance business?
No, he didn't quit his dreams, he traded them for a different one. Your father was a pragmatist, Vincent and he loved his family very much.
VincentSo he wanted a family more than medical school?
Yes. When we had Amy, I figured perfect one boy, one girl, now we have our family, but your father wanted one more. He finally talked me into it.
VincentSo you never wanted me?
Just in the abstract, dear.
VincentSomething smells good.
That would be Socrates' breath.
It's my brother's book! My baby brother. Vincent Gray.
VincentShe's out on a day pass.
Here's a new idea. Why don't you tell her how you feel?
VincentWhat, and let down my whole gender?
Do you love her?
VincentI don't know. What? I'm standing here with a mocha latte talking to my sister about love. My sperm count is plummeting!
You love her!
VincentShut up! I gotta run.
VincentAre we going to be one of those couples that solves every dispute by having wild monkey sex?
God, I hope so.
Can tuna actually freeze?
Apparently so.
[Knocking on door]
VincentHey. Am I interrupting?
Just having some tuna Slurpees...
