KEVIN: I was just trying to do something to RELATE to you.
TED: You never... you never TALKED like that to me before, dad.

TED: It's really... TOUCHING.
KEVIN: (sniff) Well, THANKS...

TED: It reminds me of a GRIZZLY BEAR song I like...
KEVIN: AUGH! Ted! FUCK GRIZZLY BEAR! They're just RADIOHEAD with a copy of the NEW YORKER shoved up their ass!
