Andrew: [tells Gail about his revelations after the kidnapping, sobs] We never stayed at the same place for long. We always moved around, mostly motels. The last place we lived - the one we stayed the longest - was a trailer. He wouldn't let me go outside during the day; I just stayed in the room watching TV. I didn't go to school, I didn't know any kids my age. There was just daddy, her, and me. Pattie, she - she hit me. He locked me in the closet. At night, they would put me outside on a long leash. I climbed up into a tree and slept. There were animals out there; it was dark... all the time. There was nobody to talk to, nobody to play with - nobody came there. It was just nobody but them. I was by myself. Sometimes - all the time in the beginning - I'd think about home, then I got so - when I thought about you, it made me mad. Daddy said you didn't want me, that you didn't care about me. But you did. I know you did!::[Andrew and Gail hug each other]::Andrew: I'm home, mommy. I'm home.
Da: Shall I die of old age before I learn what animates you so? Speak swiftly son. Lest you consign your poor father to the grave for curiosity.::Son: Father, I'm gay!::Da: Nay. 'Tis not true. I am not deserving of such good fortune. A son of mine gay?

Andrew is frequently shortened to "Andy" or "Drew".
The word is derived from the Greek: Ανδρέας, Andreas, itself related to Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός aner/andros, "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "strong", "courageous", and "warrior". In the King James Bible, the Greek "Ἀνδρέας" is translated as Andrew.

For Real secured their recording contract by accident. "We were picking up our manager from the airport. So we decided to greet him with an acappella song. Someone from A&M Records just happened to be in the airport and heard them perform. Not long after, they were signed," said Latanyia Baldwin.

Andrew Ettingshausen (born 29 October 1965) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. He played his first grade Australian club football for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, retiring with the record of most games at a single club, with 328. Known for not only his deceptive pace, good hands and ability to score tries but also his solid defense, "ET" as he was known, represented both New South Wales and the Australian Kangaroos. After his retirement from league in 2000, Ettingshausen went on to host and produce his own fishing television show titled Escape with ET.
Ettingshausen was originally signed to the Cronulla side as a teenager before making his debut at eighteen while still at school. He quickly cemented a place in the Sharks first grade side and ultimately played 328 first grade games with the club over eighteen seasons. From a time in the early 1990s he was seen as the face of rugby league in Australia. His rugged good looks equipped him well to be pushed to the front by the marketers of the game at that time and Ettingshausen did not disappoint with his athletic skills attracting the interest of traditional fans while his looks appealed to a growing base of female fans. ET was successfully used in marketing not only for the game but for sponsors products as well, usually in photo shoots of him posing topless leading him to be seen as the 'Male Model of Rugby League'. Despite league being seen by not only the players but the public as a rough and tumble sport, it was a tag he never had to play down as his outstanding play and standing in the game made people look past what was not normally known for rugby league players.
