Monte Parker : What's going on?
Carlos Nieto : Okay, you remember Vangie?
Monte Parker : No.
Carlos Nieto : The nut job I was doing last year with the bicycle.
Monte Parker : The redhead?
Carlos Nieto : The blonde, the blonde. It was her sister that showed up at the house today. She said that Vangie died and that I'm the father of her baby.

Haley Sundstrom : [to Carlos about Vangie] There's no one to take care of her baby. Your baby.
Carlos Nieto : Excuse me?
Haley Sundstrom : Your daughter. She's eight months old.
Carlos Nieto : Whoa, back up. Let's drop that "your daughter" stuff.
Haley Sundstrom : Vangie said that you were the father.
Carlos Nieto : Yeah, and she also used to say that I was an angel sent to protect her.
Haley Sundstrom : You were her only partner.
Carlos Nieto : Yeah, like you believe that.
Haley Sundstrom : I thought she was exaggerating about you.
Carlos Nieto : Yeah, whatever. Look, I feel for you, I really do, but...
Haley Sundstrom : I admit my sister had problems, but my mom is dead, my dad disowned her and I'm just trying to finish grad school.
Carlos Nieto : None of which is my problem. The kid is not mine. Period. I'm sorry.
Haley Sundstrom : We can resort to a blood test, okay?
Carlos Nieto : Bring it on. Anytime.
Haley Sundstrom : You just think about it for a second?
Carlos Nieto : I don't have to. Goodbye.

Monte Parker : [to Carlos about the baby] So what are you gonna do?
Carlos Nieto : Well, I'll take her for the night until they figure something out.
Monte Parker : No, the cops. They need to find the sister.
Carlos Nieto : So, what she can dump her again?
Monte Parker : Do you really think you can handle this?
Carlos Nieto : I can try. Look, anything beats putting her into the system, I know. I grew up in it.
Monte Parker : Carlos, this isn't a bird, okay? I mean, this is a little human being, a person.
Carlos Nieto : I know. I know.
