Lily Aldrin : [Lily discovers that her father took care of baby Marvin all day] Wow. That's incredible. When did you get so good with kids?
Mickey Aldrin : You know something honey, you don't know this. For the first few years of your life, your mom worked while I was a stay-at-home dad.
Lily Aldrin : I thought Grandma and Grampa took care of me.
Mickey Aldrin : Well, they visited a lot, but I was the one who took care of you. You know, America thinks I ran into that burning house to get potato salad, but actually, I ran into the house to get this photo album - *and* potato salad.
