Vanessa: This is why I am home so early today, they are coming for supper.
Cameron: -Gets closer to his mom- Do I have to do it or can you say no?
Vanessa: Cameron. I would have never said yes if I knew you wouldn't like their daughter. You guys have a lot in common and you guys will get along great.
