I'm taking a pottery class.
Mike [Toula is staring at Ian, oblivious that Mike and Ian notice.]
Hi?
[coming back to reality]
Hi. Sorry. My brain...switched off, you know. You ever have one of those days? Going along and then...rrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrr. Here I am, standing here, your own private Greek statue.
Mike [Ian laughs]
Could I, uh, get some more coffee?
Sure. [pours Ian a cup and then walks off]
[After Nick accidentally hears his name called]

[to Ian's parents]
Now, you are family. Okay. All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bobopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes. Inside the lump was my twin. [Ian's parents are horrified. Voula grabs a drink and toasts.] Hupah!!
