George: [voice-over] I thought maybe I should help smooth things over. So I took Bryan out for a drink. Thought we could have a talk, man-to-man. But as I sat there and listened to his side of the story... I realized this was a golden opportunity. If I ever wanted to get rid of Bryan MacKenzie, this was my chance. Bryan: You know those banana shakes she likes to make, right? Well, that's why I thought she'd like a blender. I guess I can see her point. I mean, a blender does suggest a certain... reference to sexual politics, but... I swear, it never entered my consciousness at the time. George: I believe you. Bryan: You do? Would you tell Annie that for me, Dad? George: [voice-over] This was where I was gonna lower the boom. But instead, I looked into his weepy eyes and found my self saying: George: Sure, I'll tell her. Bryan: Oh, good! 'Cause I know whatever you say she'll believe. George: [voice-over] Not only was I not getting rid of the kid... I now found myself talking him into staying. George: You know, Bryan, Annie's a very passionate person. And passionate people tend to overreact at time. Annie comes from a long line of major overreactors. Me. I can definitely lose it. My mother. A nut. My grandfather. Stories about him were legendary. The good news, however, is that this overreacting... tends to get proportionately less by generation. So, your kids could be normal. George: [voice-over] As if that wasn't enough, I went on. George: But on the upside, with this passion... comes great spirit and individuality... which is probably one of the reasons you love Annie. Bryan: That's what I love most about her. George: [voice-over] That's when it hit me like a Mack truck. Annie was just like me, and Bryan was just like Nina. They were a perfect match.
