Receptionist: "Sorry, I'm afraid you're too late."

Dale: "How about I pay a little extra? I'm sure the doctor won't say no to-"

Theory: Dale gave birth to triplets, of which are Dev and his lucky boots. His boots are just his preferred children. How do I know this? Whale...

Dale received his boots the same day he received Dev.

Dale calls his boots his "bundle of joy" and the most important thing in his life, much like a father would to his child.

That's it. That's all of the evidence.

Dale is the type of father to say this kind of stuff to Dev. He'd make Dev feel indebted to him for his (Dale's) choice to have him, for taking up so much of his energy and time while in utero. "I spent so much time being sick because you were such a hassle as a fetus," or "it was hell being pregnant with you; be grateful I didn't get that abortion." Stuff like that.
