Claire Tyler:
Mercury levels in the tuna.

Alan Tyler:
Whatever.

Claire Tyler:
Alan, the world is a frightening place to him right now. I think we could be a little more supportive.

Alan Tyler:
Supportive? I'm the most supportive father on earth, but I'm running out of supportive things to do. I signed him up for Little League, he drove everybody crazy with statistics about how you can develop tumors from being hit in the head with a ball. [offscreen] Did you know that shin splints can lead to blood clots in the legs? Claire, he brought in a medical journal. Nobody wanted to play after that. And now I'm building him a tree house, in a tree he refuses to climb.

Claire Tyler:

Alan Tyler:

Claire Tyler:
But you are a good father.
