"Aw, I've never seen you cook before." "It's not cooking." "It's dip." "A little bit of sour cream, a little soup mix." "* A little bit of soup mix in my dip *" "* A little bit of sour cream on my chip *" "No!" "No, Henry, no!" "Don't start." "What?" "What, I think it's cute." "It's not cute." "This kid has no off switch." "* A little bit of hope is what I like *" "* A little bit of Eddie on a bike *" "* A da da da da dee *" "Hey, daddy." "Hey, Lil." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "Brad's working late again." "Fourth night this week." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Wanna hang out with me?" "Sure." "All right." "Come here, little girl." "[laughs]" "This is nice." "We don't do this anymore." "What's that smell?" "[sniffs]" "Oh, what'd you eat?" "Chips." "Oh, it smells like feet!" "Don't you have a party or something you're supposed to go to?" "No, I don't like going out without Brad." "It's not as much fun." "The light's green." "The light is green." "[shouts] The light's green!" "Never mind." "It's red, again." "It's so frustrating." "He's my boyfriend, and I never get to see him." "There's gotta be something else on." "Oh, God, I forgot how special it was spending time with you." "Ugh, I'm gonna go on-line." "* A little bit of soup mix in my dip *" "* A little... *" "Oh, hey, Ed." "How did it go with the fire marshal?" "You're asking the wrong guy." "Why?" "No, no, no." "You're the guy." "You're supposed to deal with it." "I waited for a half-an-hour for that guy." "I don't have all day." "I got a business to run!" "Yeah, at the bar." "I ask you to do one stupid thing, and you can't even do it!" "What are you getting so upset about?" "It's only one thing." "Funeral?" "Job interview." "You get it?" "I don't think I knocked it out of the park." "So, do you have any experience in restaurant supply?" "Um, no." "I've spent the better part of my life in waste." "Woah, well, not in it." "I manage it." "It's much harder than it sounds." "So, Walter, where do you see yourself in 20 years?" "Well, I don't know." "Dead?" "Okay." "There's just one more thing we need from you." "It was humiliating." "I'm not 20, I can't just pee on command." "Of course, now I need to go." "Man, I feel for Dad." "Y'know, trying to start a whole new career at his age." "We could use some help down at the bar." "It'd be so weird, I mean..." "What, being Dad's boss?" "Telling him what to do?" "We'd get used to it." "Besides, you said things down at the bar aren't getting done." "Yeah, yeah, 'cause you're not doing them." "Hey, is Lily here?" "Uh, yeah, she's in the kitchen." "What-- Hello grocery store man!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey:" "Paper or plastic?" "[laughs]" "Yeah, I'm not tired of that at all." "Brad, I missed you." "I know, I know, I'm sorry." "I got stuck at work." "That's okay." "At least it's not tomorrow night, huh?" "Actually, I'm gonna be at work tomorrow night, too." "No, you can't!" "It's Carla Vitrano's party." "I know, I know, but my boss is a jerk and we're totally understaffed." "Two of our baggers just got deported." "That ruins my whole weekend!" "Whoa, hey, Brad." "You guys hiring?" "Yeah." "No, no, no, no, no." "Yes." "Dad's not getting a job at a supermarket." "It's humiliating!" "Hey!" "The man worked at a dump for 25 years." "Seagulls used to follow him home." "My father's not gonna get a job as some bag monkey!" "Wait, wait." "I heard job and monkey." "Does it pay?" "Don't let this happen." "Huh?" "Okay." "All right, Dad, Ed and I were talking, and maybe we could use some help down at the bar." "I'll take it." "You don't have to rush to a decision." "I mean-- When do I start?" "There might be a fire marshal down there right now waiting for one of us." "I'm on it!" "Hello, Claudia." "Hi." "Oh, hey, babe." "Hey." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Um, do you ever get the feeling you're invisible?" "Oh!" "Watch where you're going, punk!" "Jimmy?" "My own son acted like he didn't even recognize me." "Aw, come on, baby, he just didn't want to be embarrassed in front of his friends." "I am not embarrassing." "I am extremely cool." "Of course, you're cool, but it doesn't matter." "There's a certain age where every boy just kinda wants to pull away." "No." "No, no, no." "Not my boy." "I am not the kind of mom a boy has to pull away from." "I'm a young, hip mom." "Is that a tissue in your sleeve?" "I have a cold." "** [rock]" "Oh, hey, guys." "How was the movie?" "Great." "Really great." "Yeah." "Uh-oh." "What's wrong?" "Okay." "Chasing the Night, the powerful saga of a family torn apart by war, not a good mother-son movie." "[moans from movies]" "[Woman in movie] Where did you learn to please a woman?" "[Man in movie] From a man." "[Woman in movie] Ah!" "Oh, oooh." "Do you want some popcorn?" "Yeah, I'll get it." "The ad said it was "powerful" and "riveting."" "It was a two hour humpathon." "He's 14." "Just take it easy." "You know, of course it's going to be weird and awkward." "You just have to learn to let go a little." "No, I don't." "I can make this work." "We can get past this." "Hey, Jimmy, um..." "That was fun, huh?" "We should do that again." "Yeah." "No, it was good, um..." "Okay, I'll see you later." "Okay." "Handshake?" "My son just shook my hand." "Well, if fairness, baby, you did just take him to a porno." "Okay, first of all, it got two thumbs up." "Way up." "Mm-hmm." "And second of all, why aren't you at work?" "I don't have to be." "Ed was right." "Dad's working out great down at the bar." "What can I do for ya?" "Ah, give me an Old Fashioned." "Old Fashioned." "Yeah, an Old, um..." "Old Fashioned." "I like that." "It's a good one." "That's, uh" "I got it, Sean." "How about some pretzels to go with that, huh?" "Uh-- [Walt] I'm on it!" "And you know all those stupid stories that he never stops telling?" "You don't get sick and tired of them if you haven't heard them a million times and you're drunk." "Lily, what's with the dog food?" "Just one of the many perks of having a boyfriend who works at the grocery store." "Surprise!" "Lily!" "What are you doing here?" "I miss you!" "I wanted to say, "Hi."" "And you look really cute in your uniform." "Umm...thank you." "$18.99, please." "Oh, no, I don't want to buy it." "I'm just saying, "Hi."" "I don't have a dog." "[stammering]" "Uh... [register beeps, prints]" "Oh, God." "Um-- [feedback]" "I need a void on register three, please." "Can I help you, Bradley?" "I just need a void." "Oh." "Sorry, folks, this'll just take a second." "Bradley, would you care to move so I can correct your mistake?" "Yeah." "Ooh." "Actually, it was my fault." "Wow." "Let me tell you something." "We have a little saying around here:" ""The customer is always right,"" "especially when they're as pretty as you." "Well, thank you." "This is my" "Brad, I'm with a customer." "So do you need some help carrying this out to the car?" "I don't have a car." "Well, it turns out I do." "It's got automatic seatbelts." "You just close the door-- shwp, shwp, safe." "Well, that's great, but I'm actually here to see Brad." "She's my girlfriend." "Oh." "Social visits are prohibited, Brad." "You know the rules." "I know, but, but..." ""But"s are for pooping." "Get back to work." "Thanks for shopping Freshmart." "Oh!" "I don't have a dog!" "It's ridiculous!" "His boss is mean to him, and we never spend time together." "Why do people have to have jobs?" "I don't know." "I don't know, Lily." "Are you enjoying your food and roof?" "Hi, everybody." "Hey." "Hi, Hope." "Oh, did you guys get a dog?" "Uh, we're not really ready to commit, you know?" "We got the food first just to see how that works out." "Hope, have you seen any movies that you know you could take a kid to?" "Uh, the only one that I've seen is Chasing the Night and you don't want to take a kid to see that." "Yeah, obviously." "Is Eddie here?" "He's working." "That never even occurred to me." "Hey, Lil!" "Brad, what are you doing here?" "Hey, Brad, have you seen any movies" "No disrespect, Mrs. Finnerty, but I'm on a ten-minute break which I've already used four, and I really need to talk to Lily but I've heard good things about Blood Storm." "You ran over here on your break?" "Yeah, you said we never get any time to spend together." "Here I am." "We have six minutes." "Yeah, you wanna go make out?" "Brad..." "Listen to me." "I think you should quit your job." "Quit?" "No, I..." "No!" "I can't!" "No, you can!" "Listen to me!" "Your job is horrible, and look what it's doing to you." "Well, I'm fine." "I'm all right." "Hey, Brad, sorry to interrupt." "Um...have you seen The Year of Reckoning?" "Some good performances, but the plot meanders." "Lily, I am fine." "Fine?" "You're irritable." "You're bored." "You haven't been to a party in, like, two weeks." "You have long red hair." "Your name's Lily." "Mother!" "Look, I really think you should quit." "I can't quit, Lily." "I need the money." "We always have fun without money!" "Who cares?" "The important thing is spending time together." "All right, I..." "I wanted this to be a surprise, but" "I'm saving up to buy a car." "A car?" "I didn't think that this would be so hard on you." "Uh-huh." "What kind of car we talking 'bout?" "It doesn't matter." "I was being selfish." "No job is worth putting you through this." "No." "No, no!" "I was being selfish." "Me." "Demanding that you quit your job." "I can't believe I said that." "Oh, my God." "I have a minute and a half." "Can I take that dog food, 'cause Brian's gonna take it off my pay." "Of course." "I gotta do my share, too." "I guess we're gonna get a car." "Hey, what's going on?" "No time!" "Whoa!" "Hey, watch it." "Ed, what the hell are you doing here?" "I thought you were down at the bar." "I need a beer." "You can't get a beer at the bar?" "I don't enjoy drinking there anymore." "Well, well." "Putting in half a day." "No worm for you, huh?" "Alarm clock broken?" "Well, it's the crack o' noon." "Seize what's left of the day." "Is there perchance an article in there about an Irish bar being run into the ground because the owner is too lazy to care?" "I don't know." "I'm reading the sports section." "What do you think you're doing?" "Drinking a beer." "Wrong." "You're drinking your profits." "You're drinking your future." "You're drinking your niece and nephew's shoes." "Listen, Dad, you really have to relax here." "No." "All you do is relax." "There's no room in this organization for somebody who doesn't give 120%." "So if that's your attitude, you can just get out of here, and don't bother coming back!" "What?" "You heard me!" "Get out!" "I just got in!" "Get out!" "Out!" "Dad fired you?" "Yeah." "Wait." "He can't fire you." "We own the place!" "I know, but it was Dad, and he told me to go." "What could I do?" "This is unbelievable!" "I know." "You know, hiring that guy was supposed to make things easier." "What were we thinking?" "No, no, no." "We weren't thinking anything." "It was your idea." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Whatever." "Either way, you gotta go down there and set him straight." "No, no, no." "Why don't you do it?" "'Cause I don't work there anymore." "[Henry humming]" "Aw, no, no, no." "Henry, upstairs!" "dive-bomb sound]" "All right." "Ed, I talked to Dad about the problem." "Thanks." "You're a better man than I am." "Not a lot better." "Sean, do you understand what I'm telling you about owning a bar?" "Yes, sir." "It's a business." "It's not a clubhouse for you and your little brother." "I under-- Speak up!" "I understand, Dad!" "Maybe you do, Seanie, but your brother doesn't." "And he's not welcome here until he's learned his lesson." "You're right, Dad." "Have a good day." "It wasn't easy as you thought it was gonna be, right?" "No, it was impossible because he's Dad." "I told you!" "I know." "Okay." "But as long as that man is there," "It's not gonna be our bar." "So, we have to stand together on this thing." "Firm." "All right?" "Agreed?" "We gotta tell him." "Yeah." "We gotta tell him, man." "We gotta do what we gotta do." "Hey, guys." "Hey, baby." "I thought you were at the movies with Jimmy?" "Yeah." "So did I." "Okay." "I got the tickets." "Okay." "This movie's not gonna be like the last one, right?" "No, no." "I did a lot of research." "This one's PG-13." "Nobody does anything to anybody that isn't killing-related." "Right." "Yeah." "You wanna go potty-- Mom!" "Oh, you went at home." "Can you please stop noticing that?" "Yes, I'm sorry." "All right." "I'll be cool." "I'll be right back." "Hey, Finnerty!" "Hey." "You going to see Blood Storm?" "Yeah." "Cool." "You wanna sit with us?" "Umm..." "And so I looked into his eyes and I realized you were right." "In order to keep him close, I have to let him go." "So I sent him off with his friends." "I'm so proud of you for listening to me." "Jimmy, what happened?" "You didn't like the movie?" "I didn't see the movie." "Hold up." "How old are you?" "14." "You've got a child's ticket." "[friends laughing] It's just a mistake." "I'm obviously not a child." "Then why do you have a child's ticket?" "I don't know, all right?" "My mom bought it for me." "[friends laughing]" "Is your mom here?" "I'm his mommy." "Oh, my God, Jimmy." "I'm so sorry." "It was just a reflex." "Let me make it up to you tomorrow." "Fine." "You wanna make it up to me?" "Take me to "Mommy and Me."" "And don't forget my sippy cup!" "I never should have listened to you." "Sean, what are you ding here?" "I had to lock up the bar." "There's nobody working there." "What about Reggie?" "He's suspended without pay until I figure out where all the limes went." "Oh, Dad." "Enough." "Will you please have a seat." "I have to talk to you." "Claudia, excuse us." "Okay, babe." "You might wanna leave because we're gonna have to tell Dad something that's pretty sensitive." "What?" "What's going on?" "[whispering] We have to fire Dad." "You what?" "Yeah." "After all he's done for you?" "When will people understand all a parent wants is to be a part of a child's life." "But no, you just want to toss 'em aside like an old piece of soap you don't even want to pick up." "'Cause it's covered with all that glop and you just wish it would just go away down the drain on its own." "Not exactly, but basically, yeah." "Um, so, if you'll excuse us, please." "Ready?" "Yeah." "Is it "go" time?" "It's go time." "Let's do it." "Let's go." "Uh, Dad?" "[clearing throat]" "Eddie and I have been talking, and we wanted to, uh..." "We wanted to say to you that, uh, we love you." "You're our dad." "But, we..." "We own the Red Boot pub." "Okay?" "We're the owners of the Red Boot pub, not you." "So you can't just go around firing everybody as you please." "Because it's our bar." "You're an employee." "And at the Red Boot pub, the owners would appreciate it if the employees would start acting like employees." "Is that true, Eddie?" "Wow, Dad." "This is news to me." "Okay, so what are you trying to tell me?" "Nothing." "I was" "Are you trying to fire me?" "Uh..." "Then say it." "But-- Come on, say it!" "But Dad, I just-- Fire me!" "You're fired!" "That's a boy!" "We can't work together no more!" "That's my son!" "You're outta here, man!" "You're outta here!" "Hit the bricks!" "Just watch it, Edwin." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Hey, Grandpa." "Hello, kids." "[Brad] Hey, everybody." "Don't you have to work, Brad?" "No, sir." "I do not." "Brad, please see the assistant manager." "[tapping pencil]" "Oh!" "Hey." "There you are." "Brad, what register are you working at?" "Aisle...number 1." "AKA..." "The express lane." "Very good." "Very good." "Would you care to guess how many items your last customer had?" "Huh?" "Um..." "I'm guessing more than 10." "15. 15." "Not 14." "Not 13." "Not-- 12?" "Not 12." "Not even 11, which I like to call the "grace item."" "And certainly not 10, Brad." "I just figured that because nobody was waiting" ""Oh!" "I'm sorry I shot you, sir, but there was no one waiting."" ""I can do whatever I want."" "[Brad] I don't see how that has anything to do" "Let's review the numbers that are okay in the express lane." "Huh?" "One's good." "Two's fine." "Three's divine." "Brad, don't do this to yourself." "What are you doing here?" "This officially counts as your break." "Go." "It isn't worth putting yourself through this for a lime green Cabriolet." "Who said I wanted a lime green Cabriolet?" "It's cute." "It's not a good picture, but that doesn't matter." "I just want to spend time with you." "No car is worth putting yourself through working for this butt-wipe." "Oh, no you didn't." "Yes, I did." "Brad, your yappy little girlfriend is jeopardizing your career." ""your career..." You know what?" "You can yell at me, you can make me count to ten over and over again, but you cannot call my girlfriend yappy, all right?" "Yappy." "Yap, yap, yaperoo." "I quit." "My boyfriend is more important than a Cabriolet." "Dad, can we borrow the car and go to the mall?" "No." "I'll drive you Oh!" "You don't have to work tonight, Grandpa?" "Nah." "These guys just canned my ass." "Let's go." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Oh, I thought I was hungry, but I'm not." "Get down here now." "Let me explain something to you." "You are 14 years old," "And there are chemical reactions going on in your brain telling you to stay away from your mother." "But you know what?" "That ain't gonna happen." "Mom, it's okay." "No, it's not okay." "Now, you may not be able to appreciate that I am way cooler than most moms, and you may try to push me away." "But you will fail." "We are not gonna become strangers, okay?" "Deal." "Deal." "Mom!" "Come on." "Nobody's gonna see." "Aww!" "That's so sweet." "Yes, it is." "Did you fire your dad?" "Yeah." "Actually, we did." "And we kinda feel bad for him." "Well, why don't you guys go hang out with him." "Yeah, baby." "You're right." "It wouldn't kill us to go have some fun with Dad." "[couple moaning onscreen]" "[Woman on screen] Where did you learn to please a woman?" "[Man] From a man." "Oh, that is just wrong!" "Shh!" "[Boy] Keep it down!" "Jimmy?"
