Elly: I brought some of your favorite grub, Dad. I'm gonna make shepherd's pie, chicken and biscuits, bread pudding and trifle! And despite your grouchiness, we're going to have fun.

I've brought you the newspaper, some music, some chocolate... and - you're smiling! Wow! I see a smile! Jim: Yes... you've brought me that too.
