• Robert Manners : He's NOT my father. And you're NOT my mother!

  Mrs. Manners : Robert! You mustn't say that.

  Robert Manners : It's true. When you adopted me you wanted a girl, and your husband wanted a boy, and you were both disappointed with me. I remember when I was 8 years old and helping you dust the house and that, that woman across the way came over and said 'my my', and you said 'yes, I know, he's exactly like a little girl'. I'm not your daughter!

  Mrs. Manners : But you're my son, Robert, *and* my daughter, and all the other children I wish I could've had.
