Pat sr: well! I think we’ve said it all. Let’s eat!

I have to be honest with you all… i'm relieved. I can hardly believe I was so nervous to meet everyone. I felt so awkward but you all have been so welcoming. I really feel like I'm part of the family now. I don't feel half as uncomfortable as I used to… (take slice of fruitcake and eat it) Mm… this is delicious! Is it your recipe?

Karinn: David… you may have to go to the hospital after all.

Hospital?!

Laurie: i'm so sorry, david, I hope you can forgive me… oh

(At the same time as Laurie) lori, I apologize. I hope you can forgive… oh.

Jim: Go ahead, David.

Really, I, i am really sorry, Laurie… if I'd known what it had meant... I'll pay for a new one, if you need me to.

Scott: man a lots happened … hey, where's the fruit cake?

Uh, Im afraid that’s my fault. I-

Karinn: Ohhmm… Oh. Oooh.

He??? Ohh, my gosh, I'm going to be a boy father. I mean… we are having a baby? Oh, wow, oh, wow, we have to get to the hospital! Where are my keys? Where's the car

Laurie: david! What you need is your suitcase. Go upstairs and get it.

Where's the upstairs?

Everyone: That way!

Karinn: But David-
