Ned: Hey, hey, hey, do you mind not slamming the door? The baby's taking a nap.

Dillon: Oh, man, i'm sorry. I didn't know that you could hear the door slam from the nursery.

Ned: Actually, you're right. I'm probably overcompensating.

Dillon: For what?

Ned: Well, kristina's mother is starting to make a lot of bad decisions, and i worry about how that affects kristina, which translates into me obsessing over silly details like her nap time.

Dillon: Yeah, that must be -- must be pretty hard to have a kid with somebody who's unstable. I don't know. I mean, I just think it's cool you're trying to work things out instead of cutting her completely out of kristina's life, you know?

Ned: Like the way our mother cut our fathers out of our lives? So i imagine that she said something sentimental like "you're better off without him."

Dillon: You got the lecture, too, huh?

Ned: Oh, yeah, whenever i asked about him. So i stopped. You seem pretty adaptable. So when did you stop asking about your father? When you were what, 12?

Dillon: 10. Yeah, we were at this place mom likes in paris. We were having dinner, and there was this family at the next table, like a mom and dad and two kids. And so i get up the nerve to ask, "am I ever going to see my dad? Does he ever call, write, ask about me or anything like that?" And she says, "kid, you got two choices -- you can have the sugar-coated answer or reality."

Ned: Something tells me you opted for reality.

Dillon: What she said was that my dad had no use for me and that he had another family with a younger, prettier woman. She said she could give me the rest of the details, but it would bore her to death to talk about it, and so i let the subject drop.

Ned: Yeah, mother and i had a conversation very similar to that about my father. But the irony is when I grew up and I actually got to know the man, it turns out she was right. I really hate it when our mother's right.

Dillon: Yeah, you and everybody else.

Ned: Well, maybe you see a different side to her. A better side.

Dillon: Well, ned, man, she loves me, you know, and I really believe that she loves you, too. I guess just some mothers are better at showing it than others, yeah.
