Jack: Good, I'm starved.
Dad: (Sniffs the air) Leg of lamb. . .and rosemary potatoes?
Mom: You have a nose like a bloodhound.
Jack: Then I do, too, 'cause I inherited Dad's nose.
Mom: (Winks at Jack, to show she's teasing) Unfortunately.
Dad: (Teasing back) Don't go there, Denise. It's Father's Day. Be nice.
Mom: Must I?
Dad: Yes, you must.
Mom: OK, I'll be nice to you until midnight. Tomorrow I'm back on my broomstick.
Dad: You're about the prettiest witch I know.
Mom: I'm not sure how to take that!
Dad: It's a compliment!
Mom: Sure it is.
Dad notices Jack staring off in space, thinking about the whole adoption thing.
Dad: What's going on in that brilliant mind of yours, pal? (To Mom) He also inherited my brilliant mind.
Mom: Of course he did. And he inherited your modesty, too. (Exits. On her way out she says) Your turn to set the table, Jack.
Dad: You look worried, pal.
Jack: I just thought of something. . .
Dad: What?
Jack: Since you're adopted…" (Hesitates for a second, then blurts out) I'm not a Bennett!
Dad: (Nods slowly) That's right. You're not a Bennett, and neither am I.
Jack: Can you find out where your real family is?
Dad: Probably not.
Jack: Do you even want to?
Dad: Not really.
