"Dad, you can't get Ellen a cat for Christmas!" "Well, you can't get him a dog!" "Cats are disgusting!" "They smell!" "Dogs are! You smell!" "Calm down. Here's what I'll do..." "As a Christmas gift to you, Nate, I won't get Ellen a cat. And as a Christmas gift to you, Ellen, I won't get Nate a dog." "Uh... okay." "Yeah... thanks." "Well played, Dad."
