Quotes 

• Emma : [to Spike]  How could you even think of having an abortion?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : It's a woman's choice.

  Emma : What about the baby's choice?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I'm not gonna debate this with you. It's my decision, Em.

  Emma : What about Snake?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Of course. He'd be a part of it.

  Emma : Yeah, like he's a part of it right now.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Emma, you're way out of line.

  Emma : What do you expect me to say?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Maybe something supportive.

  Emma : If you had an abortion the first time, I wouldn't be here.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Well, if you were in my shoes and made this mistake a second time...

  [Emma storms off angry] 

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Em, no! I didn't mean it that way.

• Caitlin Ryan : Emma doesn't hate you.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : If you could've seen the look in her eyes. What was I thinking?

  Caitlin Ryan : Yeah, but you've just been thrown for a major loop. You got to cut yourself some slack.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I need to talk to Archie.

  Caitlin Ryan : Uh, not tonight though, right? Bachelor party. Not in a state to hear this.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : He needs to know.

  Caitlin Ryan : And you need to get yourself together, all right? Call him in the morning. It can wait.

  [Spike and Caitlin hug each other] 

  Caitlin Ryan : It's gonna be okay.

• Christine 'Spike' Nelson : [to Snake]  I've been trying to reach you.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : But not yesterday, not last night. No, right, because it was Emma that was looking for me.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : What?

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : How does information travel in this family? Oh, right! Every which way except from you to me!

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Emma!

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : No! Not Emma! This is about you and me! How could you not tell me that you were pregnant?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : We need to talk, but we are not doing it here.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : We are gonna talk about this right now.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Not here!

• Christine 'Spike' Nelson : [to Snake about her pregnancy]  I just found out yesterday.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Then you should have come to me.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I know.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : To hear it from Emma and an abortion!

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Do you really think I'd send Emma in the middle of the night to break the news to you?

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : You know, sometimes it's like you and Emma are the couple, not you and me.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : She's my daughter. You can't expect that I'll just change our relationship.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Of course not, but if this is gonna work, then some things have to stay private.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I don't like secrets, Snake.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Neither do I. Trust me. You sure you're not having doubts?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Archie...

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : This all happened pretty fast.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : We've known each other since junior high.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Yeah, as friends. Maybe we're supposed to keep it that way.

• Archie 'Snake' Simpson : [to Spike]  I just can't understand how it happened.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : You were there.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : I mean, you're on the pill.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Yeah, which is 98% effective.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : So we're just in the unlucky 2%. Great.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Some couples would think of this as a blessing. It's too bad you're against kids.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : I never said that.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : How about yesterday? You said you have too much on your plate.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Yeah, I do. I've got a lot going on right now. I'm moving in. I'm gonna be a husband and a step-dad and I got a lot...

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : A lot of adjusting. I know, but life doesn't wait for you to get adjusted, Snake. It just happens! I mean, look at Emma. She couldn't have come at a worse time, but was it a mistake to have her? No! I wouldn't trade her for anything.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : You're right. You're absolutely right. It's hard to believe there's a little one growing in there.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : There is. She or he is gonna be beautiful.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : So which one of us doesn't want to have this baby anyways?
