"So what about you?" "What sort of crazy stuff did you get into in Mexico?" "Um... there were no buns and thankfully there were no guns." "But... it was kind of life-changing." "Wow." "You can't believe what it's like to see a little girl hear her mom say her name for the first time." "It was amazing." "Thanks for making my spring break triumph" " sound a little bit more trivial."

"He didn't cut back." "Well, that's what he told John." "That he was cutting back on his clients, downsizing..." "Oh." "Well, he only said that to stop working with your husband." "Excuse me?" "That's my girl!" "Yeah, baby!" "Would it kill you to play a little defense?" " Come on, son!" " Dad, she's my girlfriend." "It's not the NBA playoffs." "And take it down a notch." " Take it out."

"I'm starting to think basketball was a mistake." "You know what?" "I'm gonna put this aside for the night, for the kids' sake." "What are you putting aside?" "The fact that your husband put us close to financial ruin." "Oh?" "Is that what John told you?" "That it was Larry's fault?" "We have been told that he made terrible errors in judgment... writing things off that the government would never allow, depreciating assets massively," " understating income..." " Which your husband directed him to do." " No." " Oh, please!" "Larry anguished for years about John's demands." "He was always trying to stay one step ahead, always in fear that he would get caught, and finally I said, "enough." "Get rid of John." ""Tell him you're downsizing." "Whatever." "Just get out."" "John would never do that." "He is not a cheater." "Uh-huh." "And then he told all his buddies with the Royals to stop working with Larry because Larry was the incompetent one?" "You know what, Nancy?" "There must be some misunderstanding here." "Or someone's being lied to." "Yes!" "Tie game." "No basket!" "No basket!" "You were out of bounds." " Oh, come on." "I was not." " You stepped over the line!" "Are you accusing me of cheating?" " You said it." "Not me." " Come on, guys." " It's just a game." " Let's just play the points again." "I don't cheat." "Oh, really?" "Every April 15th you're kind of an expert on the matter." "And because of that, I'm pretty much broke." "So thank you, Larry!" " Thank you for all your expert advice." " Hey!" "If you're broke, that's your fault, not mine!" "John, what's going on?" "You told me you had ways of working the angles and you could cover losses by working the gray area." " Remember that?" " John?" "Yeah." "And because of you," "I lost a whole bunch of other clients!" "I was just warning my friends!" "You know, at least Larry had the decency not to trash" " your name to them." " John would never do anything illegal." "There must be one misunderstanding." " There's no misunderstanding." " No, no, no." "You were crystal clear for 20 years." " For 20 years!" " You told me you could make it work!" "You would have nothing to do with it?" "My hands are dirty, you're clean as a whistle." "You never once told me that we crossed the line!" "Stop!" "What is happening?" "This is supposed to be a great evening and you're all just yelling at each other." "Maybe we should end the night before things get any worse." "I agree." "Your ribs are burning." "I'll text you." " John..." " That man is not welcome in this house." "And for that matter, neither is his kid." "Did you ask Larry to cheat?" "I never asked Larry to do anything illegal." "But..." "But what?" "We have a great life, Kathryn." "Okay?" "And that comes at a cost." "I was just trying to make things work." "No!" "I won't accept that." "We wanted nice things, so you had to break the rules to keep us happy?" "You don't think every single person in this country doesn't write off an extra thing here or there?" "Or bend the rules just a little bit in their favor?" "Would you really want our kids to hear you say that?" "That cheating is okay because everyone else does it?" "Larry was the expert." "If what I was asking for was so bad, he should've just said no, okay?" "And yeah, maybe I pushed him a little, but it was up to him to push back." "Not everyone is comfortable pushing you back, John." "I didn't think of it as cheating." "I really didn't." "We have to tell Bay and Toby." "I don't want them finding out the way that Daphne did." "They have to hear it from us." "Oh, and one more thing." "As long as our daughter is dating that boy, he is welcome in this house." "Mom." "I'm so sorry." "How is this gonna work?" "How do I date a guy that my parents hate?" "You father's relationship with Larry has nothing to do with you two." "We'll work it out." "And by the way," "I really like Mingo." "Me, too." "Is it true that you and John are having... financial issues?" "Yes." "We didn't see the point in worrying you." "I feel so bad." "I lost that scholarship." "I should have worked harder." "We're gonna be okay." "I promise." "You sure?" "I'm sure." "Now do me a favor." "Go back to school and put this night out of your mind, and please don't worry." "Oh, hey!"
