Michael McKean: Jedediah Lawrence

Quotes 

• Cory Matthews : [to Topanga's parents]  Maybe I should go...

  Jedediah Lawrence : No, no, Cory. Please, you stay. If you stay, I don't think...

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Your father and I argue a lot.

  Jedediah Lawrence : That she'd actually say anything in front of you.

• Rhiannon Lawrence : Topanga, haven't you ever wondered why we let you stay here when we moved to Pittsburgh?

  Cory Matthews : Because of me.

  Topanga Lawrence : Because you didn't want to take me away from my last year of high school.

  Cory Matthews : And Cory.

  Topanga Lawrence : Because you didn't want to rip me away from my friends.

  Cory Matthews : Me.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Daddy and I thought we could work things out better if we took some time by ourselves.

  Topanga Lawrence : Work what out? There's nobody like you two. You two are so in love.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Topanga, people change.

  Topanga Lawrence : Daddy, why is Mom talking like this?

  Jedediah Lawrence : We didn't want to dump this on you. We wanted to wait until after the wedding.

  Topanga Lawrence : [starting to cry]  No.

  Jedediah Lawrence : Honey, look, we tried. We tried as hard as we...

  Topanga Lawrence : You guys will get through this.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Marriage is not something to get through, Topanga! That's not why I got married.

  Topanga Lawrence : [crying]  Oh, God. No, God. Oh, God.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Oh, sweetheart, I'm... Your daddy and I...

  [Topanga leaves the room in tears] 

  Jedediah Lawrence : Maybe we just got married too young.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Jed!

  [to Cory] 

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Not you. This has nothing to do with you.

• Topanga Lawrence : [to her parents]  So while you guys are here, we want you to come down and see the hall where we want to get married. It is so beautiful, Mom.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : We will, honey.

  Amy Matthews : We never actually had a hall. We eloped.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : You did?

  Alan Matthews : Yeah, her folks didn't think I'd amount to anything, but I guess we showed them, huh, honey?

  Amy Matthews : I guess. Twenty three years of happiness, brand-new baby, these babies getting married. Yeah, we showed 'em.

  [she and Alan kiss each other] 

  Topanga Lawrence : [to her parents]  What about you guys? Did Grandma and Grandpa think you guys would make it?

  Rhiannon Lawrence : Yeah, they thought we would make it.

  [getting tearful] 

  Rhiannon Lawrence : They thought we would be together forever.

  Jedediah Lawrence : Don't.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : So did I.

  Jedediah Lawrence : Oh, honey.

  Topanga Lawrence : Mom?

  Jedediah Lawrence : I'm sorry.

  [starting to cry] 

  Jedediah Lawrence : Look, Rhiannon, not now.

  Topanga Lawrence : Mom, why are you crying like this? You're scaring me.

  Rhiannon Lawrence : I thought I could get through this, but I can't. I'm so sorry.

  Amy Matthews : No, actually, you know what, it's time to feed the baby. Alan, why don't you come help me feed the baby.

  Alan Matthews : How can I help you feed the...?

  Amy Matthews : Alan.

  Alan Matthews : Oh, yes, of course. I'm sure I can help. Excuse us.

  [he and Amy leave the room]
