Jonathan and Laura in “Unfinished Business”

Jonathan

[to Laura] Patience, child.

I can't help it. Pa says children aren't supposed to have any.

Jonathan

Your Pa sounds like a bright man.

Oh, he is. So's my Ma. She used to be a schoolteacher and she knows a bunch of stuff.

Jonathan

You're quite fond of your folks.

Sure. Everybody loves their Ma and Pa.

Jonathan

Then how come you ran off?

I can't tell you.

Jonathan

Fair enough.

I wish I could tell you, Mr. Jonathan, but it's just between me and God.
