"I got the afternoon free." "You want to watch some of that doubleheader?" "Actually, I'd love to, but I'm going downtown to watch it with the guys." "Um, why wasn't I invited?" "For the same reason we didn't invite Bernie Madoff, because we knew you were unavailable." "Listen, man, you just got married." "The other guys have been married for years, and they still have to lie about where they're going." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, I can go if I want to, and I don't have to lie about it." "So you're going to tell Suzanne that you're gonna spend six hours on a Sunday in a bar, drinking beer and watching baseball with a bunch of dudes?" "$50 says that's exactly what I'm gonna say." "Exactly?" "Exactly-exactly." "Come on, mom." "That isn't fair." "That's like t.I. Going to jail for killing Patrick Swayze." "Lindsey, that makes no sense." "Exactly." "What's going on?" "Oh, well, the kids are asking me about their allowance, but they haven't done any work around the house all week." "Now, I pay you guys an allowance to be nice;" "I'm not gonna pay y'all just to live here anymore." "Come on, your mother is right." "You kids know an allowance is payment for work, just like a job." "If you don't do your job, you don't get paid." "Thank you, Nick." "We promise to do more work this week." "Yeah, we promise." "And I promise to pay you when you do the work." "What about this week?" "You should've thought about this week last week." "If you don't start thinking about next week this week, you're going to have the same problem next week that you're having this week, when you could've solved it last week." "So we're not gonna get our money from last week until next week?" "What about this week?" "There is no "this week."" "Now, I don't understand what you're worried about." "You have everything you need." "But it's summer." "We need disposable income." "Well, by being lazy, you threw away last week's allowance." "So I suggest, unless you want to dispose of this week's allowance, you get to work." "Got it?" "Both:" "Got it." "Oh, hello, Martin." "Hi, Suzanne." "What are you guys up to today?" "Hmm." "What are we up to, Nick?" "Today I am going to a sports bar, on a Sunday, for six hours, to drink beer and watch baseball with a bunch of dudes." "Great." "Good for you." "See?" "A real man doesn't have to lie to his wife." "Now pay up." "Next week." "♪ Are we there yet?"

"Man, I thought we were going to a regular sports bar." "You didn't tell me we were going to Booty." "What's wrong with Booty?" "It's a pirate-themed sports bar, hence the name "booty,"" "like treasure." "Hmm, hi, guys." "That's treasure." "Man, I gotta get out of here." "How am I gonna explain this to Suzanne?" "Oh, aren't you the real man who doesn't have to lie to his wife?" "We're doing exactly what you said we were gonna do:" "We're at the bar, drinking beer, watching the game." "Yeah, but she's gonna want to know why I had to watch the game here." "Because Booty has such amazing..." "Wings." "Ah, there are the guys." "Aha." "Ahoy, mateys." "Both:" "Arrr." "Ah, these wings are disgusting." "What's the score of the game?" "Uh, 36 to 24 to 40." "Wow, this is a high-scoring game." "So what did you tell Suzanne to get out of the house?" "I told her I was coming to watch the game." "Huh, I didn't." "I told my wife I was going to the grocery store." "And on my way home, I'll be sure to stop at the grocery store." "[Laughter]" "Yeah, I told my wife I was going to a strip club, but instead I came here." "What is wrong with you, man?" "I got an idea." "Let's tell treasure that it's Nick's birthday, and we'll get them to give him one of their special birthday celebrations." "Ugh." "Love that." "What special birthday celebration?" "Come on, man." "You never had a Booty birthday?" "No, and I don't want a Booty birthday." "I didn't know it was your birthday, Nick." "How old are you?" "Dude, I'm not..." "Oh, treasure." "This scallywag be having a birthday." "Hey." "Someone has a birthday?" "Ladies, come on over here." "We got a birthday." "Happy Birthday." "Are you ready?" "No, I'm not." "It's not my birthday."

"We finished all our chores." "I cleaned up my room, and I took all the clothes out of my hamper." "Yup, and I made my bed and unclogged the toilet." "Kevin, aren't you the one who clogged the toilet?" "Yeah, it was a good one." "So do we get our allowances now?" "Guys, I'm really proud of you for doing those things, but no." "So I unclogged the toilet for nothing?" "No, you unclogged the toilet 'cause that's nasty." "So what exactly do we need to do to get our allowance?" "You need to show some initiative, and I'll pay you for what it's worth." "We are showing initiative." "How?" "By trying to convince you to give us money." "I'm so glad you had a good time today with your friends." "Where'd you guys go, anyway?" "No-hitter?" "No, I don't think so." "It was some other place." "Was it the scoreboard?" "No, I don't think so." "Well, there's only a few sports bars." "You guys were downtown, right?" "Yeah, I think so." "You think so?" "Were you, or weren't you?" "I don't know." "You know, Martin was driving." "I was just out having a good time." "Nick." "Were you or weren't you downtown at a sports bar, watching the baseball game?" "I was." "Well..." "You weren't at the scoreboard." "You weren't at no-hitter." "So where were you?" "Dang, I don't remember the name of it." "Well, the only other place that's open on Sundays is Booty, and I know you weren't at Booty." "Hmm." "Which one was that again?" "The one with all the girls with the big booties dressed in pirate outfits." "Hmm." "Come to think of it, yeah, I think that's where we were." "You spent six hours drinking, watching the game with your friends at Booty?" "Baby, you told me to go out and have a good time." "Not when it's at Booty!" "Baby, it's not what you think." "Look, they just have the most tvs, the cheapest beer, and the best wings." "You lied to me." "No, I didn't." "Look, baby, I didn't even know that's where we were going until we got there." "Okay, so why didn't you tell me that's where you were when you got home?" "Because it didn't come up." "And when it did, I told you." "So what's the problem?" "You really don't know what the problem is?" "No, I don't." "Well, you are about to find out." "Here's some more orange juice for you, mom." "Thank you, Lindsey." "Yeah, let me get that for you, mom." "Thank you, Kevin." "And we also got up extra early and washed your car and swept up the front yard." "So can we have our allowances now?" "No." "What?" "How come?" "Well, because I noticed that your beds aren't made, and, Lindsey, you have clothes all over the floor, and, Kevin, the toilet is backed up again." "Just because you wake up early and wash my car and clean the front yard doesn't mean you get to neglect your everyday chores." "So I washed your car for nothing?" "You didn't wash my car for nothing." "Now both of you go upstairs and clean your rooms." "Hi, Nick." "Hey." "Where's my breakfast?" "Why don't you eat at Booty, since you love their food so much?" "Where's your breakfast?" "[scoffs]" "That's ridiculous." "They don't even serve breakfast." "Let me ask you something, Gigi." "What do you do when you find out a man's been withholding information from you?" "Well, it depends on two things:" "The kind of information and how I found out." "Like, this one time I found out not only was this guy cheating on me, but he was lying about his money." "How'd you find out?" "The other woman told me." "He and I had just come back from Aruba, and she said he had just taken her to Aruba." "And I was gonna stay with him, until I found out where he was getting his money from." "Where?" "From her." "If I'd known that, I would have gone to Aruba with her, and we both could have got a man." "Does that help?" "Not really." "Oh." "Is Nick hiding something from you?" "Well, yesterday, he went to watch baseball for six hours with his friends at Booty." "Booty?" "I love Booty." "You do?" "I do." "It's so much fun." "How'd you find out?" "I asked him, and he admitted he went." "You--you asked him a question, and he could've lied, but he told you the truth, and now you're mad at him?" "Yes." "I can see that."

"Okay, fine." "I believe you." "Thank you." "So tonight you, me and the kids are going to eat at Booty." "Excuse me?" "We're gonna order the wings." "And you can turn your music back on." "so you sure you want to do this?" "Yep, I really want to taste those wings." "I can't believe we're really going to eat there." "Me neither." "This is awesome." "I've always wanted to go there." "For what?" "It's food served by pirates." "Yeah, in Booty shorts." "Well, here we are, just like you wanted." "Whoa, look at the size of those jugs." "Kevin, that is no way to talk about a woman." "He's talking about the pitchers of beer." "Oh." "Whoa." "Look how big that Booty is." "He's talking about the treasure chest by the door." "No, I'm not." "This place is tacky." "Are we really gonna eat here?" "Yes, we are." "I'm doing this to prove a point to your father." "What point?" "That he has no taste in food?" "Oh, hey, Nick." "How you doing?" "How's it going?" "Treasure?" "I'm Suzanne." "I'm Nick's wife." "Oh, Suzanne." "Beautiful." "I didn't know you were married, Nick." "That's great." "Wow, and you have your beautiful kids with you." "Thank you."

"Birthday boy?" "Oh, I almost forgot." "Martin and the guys thought it'd be funny if they told the waitresses it was my birthday." "Oh, and what type of celebration do they do?" "Oh..."

"She would've gotten mad anyway." "Yes, but if you had told her, she would've gotten mad ahead of time, which is a lot better." "None of this would have happened if she hadn't seen that stupid birthday celebration." "Nick, please tell me she did not witness a Booty birthday." "She witnessed a Booty birthday." "Oh, come on, man." "Listen, you say you want my help, but then you won't even tell me everything that happened." "You're like Keyser Soze, just dolling out little pieces of information, hoping I'll figure it out like I'm the closer or something." "Do I look like Kyra Sedgwick to you?" "You want my advice?" "Here it is:" "Be Nick." "Okay?" "Don't be some phony-acting Nick who thinks he can do whatever he wants, even though he's married, because if your wife is mad at you and you were with me, it's only a matter of time" "before I start catching heat." "And if I wanted some wife to be mad at me," "I'd go to Russia and I'd buy one of my own." "Okay, mom, we finished everything." "So can we have our allowances now?" "Well, I guess you guys have earned it." "Yes." "Yes." "All right, Kevin, go get my purse, please." "Thank you." "$50." "Okay, here you go." "$5 each." "$5?" "That's it?" "If would've known we were only going to get paid $5, we would have never did any of this stuff." "Which is exactly why I didn't tell you" "I was giving you $5." "Okay." "I'm gonna go back upstairs, take all my clothes out of my hamper, and throw them back down on the floor." "I'm gonna go reclog the toilet." "Freeze."

"Well, why don't you take that 5 bucks and spend a quarter day at the mall?" "Or you can save that 5 bucks, keep doing work until you have the money you need." "That's the lesson your mom's trying to teach you." "We don't want lessons." "We want money." "Do you want to live to spend it?" "Sorry." "What do you need the money for?" "I don't know." "Stuff."

"I wish I was more like you." "Every time you get in trouble, you just blurt out the truth." "They always say the cover-up is worse than the crime." "Hey, baby." "Hey." "I just ran into the kids." "Thank you for backing me up." "Well, you're right." "You're teaching them a valuable lesson." "I'm trying to." "You know you could've just told me you were at Booty." "I was afraid you would have gotten mad." "That's right." "I would have." "Then what am I supposed to do?" "You're supposed to get used to me getting mad at things." "Great." "No, but I would've gotten over it." "You know, I don't understand why you even want to go there." "Okay, I understand..." "Look, it's not even that I want to go to Booty." "It's just that I don't like knowing there are places" "I might want to go and can't." "Nick, I don't care where you go." "I just care about what you do." "I'll tell you what:" "You tell me beforehand, and you can go to Booty any time you want-- except your actual birthday." "Why?" "What do you think I might do?" "End up in the hospital if I even think you did something besides eat wings." "I have all the wings I need right here." "Oh." "I forgot." "I got you something." "You got me something?" "Yeah;" "I mean, it's for me, but it's mostly for you." "Oh." "Well, first we'll dive into these, and then we'll dive into those."
