"Why does Louise have to take Chinese?" "When the Chinese take over the world, they're gonna teach it to us all for free in the reeducation camps." "Louise is an exceptional child." "She needs to stay stimulated." "Yeah, but she's too stimulated." "You know, she's got volleyball and cello and now Chinese?" "I mean, she's pretty." "She doesn't have to be smart." "She's taking Mandarin." " Maybe she's not." " Maybe she is." "Maybe I'll pull out the big gun on this one." "Please." "What, you're gonna pull out your veto here?" " Try me." " What are you two talking about?" "When we were in marriage counseling, they gave us a tool to get through deadlocks the veto." "You get one a year, it's ironclad, and the other one has to honor it." "Hey, maybe we should." "Gary, think about this." "I mean, all the career opportunities this could open up for Louise." " A translator." " Veto." " Ambassador." " Veto." " International trade lawyer?" " Wait a second." "What was that last one?" " International." " Veto." " The veto is finito."

"Hey, mom, when is the recital gonna start?" "It's over, Tommy." "You slept through the whole thing." "But I was here, so it counts, right?" "Yes, you were here." "You were here and accounted for." "That counts." "All right." "I'm gonna go tell Louise she was great." "She was, wasn't she?" "You know, rather than focusing on Louise, you might want to spend some time on Tom." "Now, that's a boy that needs to be interested in something." "Tommy's good at a lot of things." "He's got hobbies, you know?" "He, he can fall asleep anywhere." "You know?" "Hey, what about golf?" "I was gonna play 18 holes at rancho tomorrow, and I was may I please play 18 holes at rancho tomorrow?" "Hey, you know, that's a great idea, Charlie." "Let's get Tommy interested in golf." "Can we play?" "All right." "But no beer, no cigars, and it wouldn't kill you to walk the course." "If it would, i'd walk it." "Well, Tom, welcome to heaven on earth." "What makes you think I'm gonna like golf so much?" "Because every guy loves golf." "Hey, you're walking around in the great outdoors." " You're drinking beer." "You're cussing." " Yeah." "I like the hell out of that." " How about no cussing today?" " Can I have a beer?" "So basically we're just in the great outdoors?" "Yeah." "Have fun." "I'm just gonna sit over here and study for my history test." "OK, Tom." "I want you to bend your knees." "Keep your head down." "All right, eyes on the ball and make sure you follow through." "Are you OK, dad?" "No, I'm not OK!" "The ball hit me on my neck!" "Tom, you can't learn golf that quickly." "You got to keep trying." "Here we go." "Try it again." "Here we go." "Sorry." "In 35 years of golf, I have never seen anyone lose a shoe." "I guess I'm trying too hard?" "Yeah, well, that's the spin we'll put on it." "Now, from now on, what I want you to do is to really concentrate on keeping your feet planted." "Yes!" "I hit it further than Tom." "Nice shot, Louise." "I'd like to see you ricochet one off the wall and then hit dad in the neck." "So, Louise, why don't you try hitting another one?" " I lost it." " It's not coming down." "I hit that sign." "Sorry." "That's OK." "That's just put out there so people know how far away 200 yards is." "So how long has your daughter been playing?" "Including today?" "One minute." "Don't beat yourself up over it, Tom, OK?" "I know, but that guy seemed really mad about his windshield." "Right." "Look, forget about it." "He'll get over it." "Bentley, very common car." "Nobody learns golf and is good at it on the first try." "Nobody..." " Hey, look, Tom." "Check it out." " Stop showing off, Louise." "I'm still gonna get my license before you." "You realize you have to take a test for that, right?" "A test?" "I did it, Charlie." "I'm a golf dad." "You know, Tiger Woods bought his paren a mansion and cars and trips." "I know I'm just the grandfather, but, Louise knows I love her, right?" "Listen, I've got to run this by Allison." "We got to get her into lessons." "Yeah, right." "Allison." "You know," "I don't think she's gonna be quite as thrilled as we are." "Wait." "Why not?" "When Allie was younger, I tried to get her interested in golf by sort of, shoving it down her throat." " She never told me that." " Yeah, it ended kind of ugly." "I think it really peaked when she ran away from golf camp down in Florida." "She was never the same sweet little 9-year-old after they pulled her out of the everglades." " No wonder she hates golf." " And leeches." "God." "She's got to go along with this golf thing." "I just..." "I wish I didn't veto chinese the way that I did." "Yeah, well, you did lay it on pretty thick." "I love to torture Allison." "If only there was a way I could get her to use her veto on something else." " Wait a minute." "What did you just say?" " I love to torture Allison." "No, after that." "I should get her to use her veto on something else." " That is a great idea." " That's what I should do, right?" "Good grief." "What is that horrible noise?" "Sounds like some nut on a motorcycle." "And it seems to be getting louder, doesn't it?" " Was that Gary?" " Come on." "He's in the garage." "Gary!" "What the hell are you doing?" "I bought Tom a dirt bike." "OK, wait a minute." "So you bought our son a motorcycle." "{\pos(192,190)}You said get him interested in something." "He'll be interested in this." "{\pos(192,220)}Are you a complete idiot?" "Dirt bikes are dangerous." "{\pos(192,220)}This is the single most irresponsible act of parenting I have ever seen." "Boy, if I could, I would veto the hell out of this." "Don't say that." "Don't say that, Charlie." "Come on." "Stay out of it." "This is about my son becoming a man, OK?" " No." "Dad's right." " Allison, please," " don't use your veto on the motorcycle." " Sorry." "You know what?" "I have to." " Hold on, dear." " What?" "Now, I can't put my finger on it, but there's something weird going on here," "Gary and Charlie is doing that bad acting thing he does every time he wants to get away with something." "What?" "Are you saying my concern the well-being of my grandson is just an act?" "Well, how dare you!" "All right, what's going on?" "Why are you trying so hard to get me to use my veto?" "What?" "No, I don't want you to use your veto on a dirt bike." "OK." "All right." "Fine." " What are you doing?" " What?" "You think Tommy should ride a dirt bike, then that's what he'll do." "Good." "Then you call him." "Get him down here." " What's going on?" " Look what your dad got you." " You bought me a dirt bike?" " You betcha." " Mom, you're OK with this?" " Yeah." "If your dad thinks it's a good idea, then it must be a good idea." " Is it, dad?" " It's a real good idea, Tommy." " Mom?" " Come on, Tommy." "Get up there." "I mean, what's the worst that can happen?" "Having to learn how to type with a pencil taped to my nose?" " Come on, Tommy." "Jump inside." " Yeah." "Get on the bike, Tom." "All right." "Look at you?" "Look how great he looks up there, Gary." "Right?" " Why don't you start it up, sweetie?" " Yeah, Tom." "Start your new dirt bike." "Be a man." " Turn it off!" "Turn it off!" " What?" "What?" "What?" "What?" "Come on." "Come on." "Don't be afraid." "Get back up there." "You know, I heard something weird with the axle rows connector." "You can't ride this until I get it checked out, Tom." "Thank god." "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't like it." "Nothing, nothing is going on here, Allison, OK?" "The only problem with that motorcycle it's not big enough." "I've got to buy him a bigger motorcycle and a knife." "Am I the only one left sane around here?" "Fore!" "Nice." " Louise, nice shot." " Thanks, mom." " That's my third one in a row." " That's great, honey." "3 in a row." "That is great." " Veto!" " What?" " Are you vetoing paper cups?" " No." "Gary, i'm vetoing golf." "That's what this was all about?" "You want Louise to play golf?" "I'm telling you." "My daughter is not playing that awful sport." "You've got to see how good she is." "She's phenom." "She's amazing." "Don't veto golf." "You know what?" "She would have been really good at Chinese, too." "Come on." "A billion people speak Chinese." "Why do you need one more?" "Veto!" "Please!" "Finally it's an activity that I can enjoy with my daughter," " something I'm interested in." " All right." "So if it really means that much to you, maybe I can veto it!" "Allie, why don't you do it for me?" "Let's not kid each other here." "I'm not getting any younger, and I would love to see my little Louise play golf before the big guy signs my scorecard." "Please." "You'll die when i'm done with you." "That's it, Charlie." "It's the death of a dream." "I saw it all." "I saw little Louise playing in the dinah shore classic." "On the 18th hole, she sinks a 30-footer." "The place goes crazy, and she looks right into the camera and goes," ""that was for my dad."" "And then she tosses me the keys to a brand-new saturn she won." "Look at me, Gary." "What do you see?" "A guy with a mustache that's..." "mostly nose hair." "Gary, it's you in 20 years if you don't do something to change it." "Ghost of Gary future, it's you I fear most of all." "Come on." "Charlie, I'm sorry I disappointed you, but it's the veto." " It's the one thing we have to respect." " Knot up, betty." "This is bigger than any stupid little agreement." "We're talking about Louisa's future." "Look." "I bet you can't name me one famous cellist." " Yo-yo ma." " You see?" "You see?" "You see?" "Because there aren't any." "But you can rattle on, like, famous golfers all day long." "And maybe one of those names could be Lulu Brooks." " Lulu?" " Lulu." "See, it chants a lot better." " Lulu." " Hey, it's up to you, Gary." "I leave it up to you." "But when you're my age, do you want to be looking back at sundays spent in some stuffy old concert hall" "or walking the links of pebble beach half in the bag?" " Nice shot, dad." " Thanks, sweetheart." "I still feel weird about skipping cello practice." "Well, we all do things we feel weird about that might be wrong." "After a while, that feeling goes away." "And if the feeling goes away, was it every really wrong?" "Great." "Louise, why don't you go practice some chip shots out of the sand trap?" "And remember." "I know." "Hit two inches behind the ball and follow through." "Don't tell the boy, but she's my favorite now." " It's Connie." " Don't answer it." "Don't worry." "I got it covered." "Connie had me record Louise's recital the other day." "Something about memories." "Hey, buttercup." "Just calling to see how Louise's cello practice is going." "It's wonderful." "I'm so proud of our little Angel." "You should see her." "She's playing like a pro." "I am so happy you wanted to go to Louise's cello practice." "It's not like you." "Well, it's the new me, buttercup." "You know, I think i'm gonna be going to a lot of" "Louise's practices from now on." "Put your hat back on." "You're not supposed to get sun." "All right." "Thanks, dear." "We're dead." "What?" "Why?" "Great." "It's the two horsemen of the apocalypse." "It was Gary's idea." "He told me if I didn't play along, i'd lose my social security." "How did you guys find us?" "Louise's cello teacher called asking where she was." "Cello?" "Oh cello." "When you said take her to cello, I thought you said take her to golf." "Mom said you guys would be out here playing golf, and I said, "of course not" ""because Gary would never do that because I vetoed golf,"" "and veto is the one thing that we both respect, Gary." "How am I supposed to ever trust you again?" "What?" "I don't know what you're saying." "I'm sorry." "He thinks you're playing his ball." "I'm not playing his ball." "I'm playing my ball." "Look." "That's my..." "I forgive you, Gary." "Come on, honey, let's go." "Time out." "I'm curious as to how my daughter is fluent in a language that I vetoed." "I don't know." "Kids." "What, did you pick it up off the street?" " They're like little sponges, you know." " Yeah, time out." "Back it up." "Whatever happened to "Gary, the veto is the only thing we have to respect"?" "OK." "I ignored your veto, OK?" "But you ignored mine." "But you ignored my veto first." "My veto was finito." " You didn't know that, so technically." " Enough!" "Who cares who did what first?" "The point is, you should be celebrating the fact that you both had a hand in creating this incredibly wonderfully talented child." "Well, you're right, Connie." "Thanks, mom." "That's a sweet thing to say." "I would have killed to have had a child with a fraction of this talent." " Get the clubs." " Yes, dear." "Gary, I'm taking Louise to cello now." "You can pick her up at 1:30, take her to volleyball practice." "And tomorrow she has debate before school, so you have to take her early." "And then saturday i'm taking her to golf from 7:00 in the morning to noon." "But be sure to pop in a Chinese tape on the way to the course so she'll be ready for her wednesday night lesson." "Is it too late to veto having a second child?" "{\pos(192,190)}I'm kidding." "What?" "She's enriched our lives in so many wonderful ways." "{\pos(192,210)}Come on, mommy." "Grandma's in the car." "{\pos(192,210)}She says if we don't hurry up, she's gonna go ahead and smoke." "Coming." "Well, Gary, it looks like you may get to walk the links of pebble beach after all, there, golf dad." "Thank you." "You know what?" "Thanks for giving me the courage to break that veto agreement, you know?" "If only there was something we could find for Tommy that he's good at." " Hey, guys." " Hey, son." "There's got to be something he's good at." "{\fade(1500,1500)}Team Subs-Addicts""
