ALAN:

Every parent wants their kids to live long, healthy lives. And to keep the family name alive.

Well okay, maybe the parents of serial killers don't always want that for their kids, but Don and Val are good kids, well-adjusted and sane.

So I know where her mom's coming from.

Hell, when Don and Val were still in school, we'd get together and swear we'd never force our kids to marry anyone they didn't love - and technically we're still not, since I know Don loved Val and she loved him.

That and death focuses the mind. Cliche, I know, but it's true.

The real trick will be convincing Charlie that the house would make a wonderful wedding present.
