Alan Matthews: Cory, I'm not coming around. I can't help you the way you want me to and I'm not going to.
Cory Matthews: Hey, we're drowning here!
Alan Matthews: You are not drowning.
Cory Matthews: Well, what do you call living in an awful dorm with no money and the washing machine's broken in the laundry room and there's some kind of soup coming out of the faucet?
Alan Matthews: Marriage. I call it marriage
Cory Matthews: Okay, well, it's hard! It's just hard, Dad.
Alan Matthews: And you want me to make it not so hard.
Cory Matthews: You're supposed to do that!
Alan Matthews: I can't!
Cory Matthews: Well, then what good are you?
[turns and walks away from Alan]
Alan Matthews: Hey! You made a choice! You decided that you were old enough to get married. You decided to take on the responsibility of a new life because you believed you could handle it! And this family supported that decision after we told you that it was going to be very difficult. What, did you think we were kidding? Did you go into this marriage thinking you were just going to play house and we were gonna bail you out of trouble? Cory, this is your life. Deal with your life.
Cory Matthews: All you had to say was "no."
