Quotes 

• Mickey Aldrin : Remember all those Mexican fireworks I bought so I wouldn't have to buy Christmas presents?

  Lily Aldrin : Oh, my God! You blew up the house?

  Mickey Aldrin : What? No, I did not blow up the house! I blew up the garage. The house burned down.

• Lily Aldrin : Looks like our search is over. All we need is your salary.

  Mrs. Buckminster : Certainly. My salary is...

  [Cut to Lily and Marshall crying] 

  Mrs. Buckminster : Now, now. Everything is going to be all right. You'll find someone.

  Lily Aldrin : No, we won't!

  Marshall Eriksen : Not someone like you!

• Lily Aldrin : [Lily discovers that her father took care of baby Marvin all day]  Wow. That's incredible. When did you get so good with kids?

  Mickey Aldrin : You know something honey, you don't know this. For the first few years of your life, your mom worked while I was a stay-at-home dad.

  Lily Aldrin : I thought Grandma and Grampa took care of me.

  Mickey Aldrin : Well, they visited a lot, but I was the one who took care of you. You know, America thinks I ran into that burning house to get potato salad, but actually, I ran into the house to get this photo album - *and* potato salad.

  [shows Lily album] 

  Lily Aldrin : Dad, I never realized you were there for me. How come there are no pictures of me after preschool?

  Mickey Aldrin : Well...

  [recounts flashback of first day at preschool] 

  Mickey Aldrin : Well, have fun on your first day at preschool, princess.

  [Kisses Lily and gives her food] 

  Mickey Aldrin : Well, off you go.

  [after Lily gets inside classroom] 

  Mickey Aldrin : Ugh, how am I gonna make it to three o'clock without her?

  [Sees newspaper] 

  Mickey Aldrin : Belmont Racetrack? Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to bet just once.

  Mickey Aldrin : [Back to present]  Six months later, guess what gambling addict's thumbs had pins on them?

  [flashes thumbs] 

  Mickey Aldrin : This guy!... Look honey, I wasn't there for most of your childhood and I regret that every single day of my life, but I promise you, I'm here now for Marvin. If you want.

  Lily Aldrin : You're hired.

  [embraces Mickey]
