Party of Five, Season 3

Joe:
[after telling Bailey that their father was also an alcoholic] I'm sorry, Claudia. I didn't know you were standing there.

Claudia:
It's OK. I should know, right? Who my father really was...

Joe:
That wasn't who he was. It was just a small part of him.

Claudia:
It isn't small. It's everything. He was an alcoholic.

Joe:
He stopped drinking long before you were even born, Claudia.

Claudia:
But it...it changes everything.

Joe:
How?

Claudia:
Because I thought I knew him!

Joe:
You did, sweetie! Everything you remember about your father is still true. He wasn't perfect, Claudia. He made mistakes, he had faults... it didn't make him any less of a person. Just made him human.
