Emma: Hi, Adam Franklin of Camp Weehawken. I'm Emma Kurtzman. You tried to finger me?

Adam: Yeah. Wow! Do you go here? Why? What are you doing at a party of frat?

David's colleague: I wanted to leave you with something David said to me almost every day at the lab. It's Einstein. "There are only two ways to live your life. One, as if nothing is a miracle. The other, as if everything is a miracle."For David, there was no bigger miracle than his family. His daughters, Emma and Katie, and his wife, Sandra.

Emma: Mom? I want you to meet Adam.

Adam: I'm so sorry.

Emma: And this is my sister, Katie, and her lover, Kevin. Boyfriend. And my best friend.

Mom: Oh, well... thank you. I didn't know you were dating someone, Emma.

Emma: Oh, I'm not. I just had a one-night stand with him when I was 14.

Adam: It was a really nice funeral. I'm sorry.

Emma: I'm glad you stayed.

Adam: Me too. So, I'll call you, or something...

Emma: Adam, you're wonderful. If you're lucky, you're never gonna see me again.
