"Dad bring you here a lot?" "Once a year on my birthday Then he pays an usher to watch me" "Oh, I see" "Look, you have to understand" "My father, in his own childhood, was without a positive male influence" "Huh?" "His own father kicked him out when he was 15, so my Dad was taught to see child-raising as a job, a burden," "a prison, rather than a playground" "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "You don't talk like a kid" "Yeah, well, I'm not really a kid You're not a duck" "This is a memory of when I was a kid" "I'm 35 now I have kids of my own" "You don't really even exist" "You're an amalgam A what?" "A combination of several ushers my dad left me with over the years" "I've combined them into one memory Why?" "This was a great symbolic moment of my life, my father dumping me with you" "It's why I swore things would be different with my kids" "That's my dream" "Strong, happy, confident kids" "That's great That's great You know, you got a lovely family, and I'm a goddamn amalgam" "Gil?" "Who's that?" "That's my wife" "Nice" "Gil" "Yeah?" "The game's over, honey" "The St Louis Cardinals wish to thank you for attending today's game" "Please drive home safely and soberly" "Let's go!"

"When you're sliding into first" "And you're feeling something burst" "Diarrhea Diarrhea" "When you're sliding into third And you lay a juicy turd" "Diarrhea Diarrhea" "When you're sliding into home" "And your shorts are full of foam" "Diarrhea Diarrhea" "When you're sitting in your Chevy" "And your shorts are feeling heavy" "Diarrhea Diarrhea" "Kevin, honey, where'd you learn that song?" "Last summer at camp, Mom" "Ah!" "That was money well spent" "When you're sliding into first" "And you're feeling something burst" "Diarrhea Diarrhea" "That's what you're gonna sleep in?" "You'll get cold" "Perfect" "Gil, Taylor isn't feeling well She wants you" "It's those hot dogs I'll deal with Kevin and Justin" "Hey, what do you say later, when the kids are asleep, I wear this outfit?" "She's in our bed" "Hi, Daddy" "What's the matter, honey?" "You don't feel so good?" "Mmm-mmm" "You feel like you wanna throw up?" "Okay" "Gil Oh, my God" "Oh, Taylor, baby Oh, sweetie" "Gil, why are you just standing there?" "Oh, sweetie!" "I'm waiting for her head to spin around" "You'll be all right You'll be okay" "Oh, can you come with me to see Kevin's principal on Monday morning?" "Oh, boy I love it when you talk to me about school and meetings" "Now talk to me about shopping" "No, I know I know Go on, go on" "I'm sorry I just remembered now I've been meaning to ask you, okay?" "Fine I'll be there Okay" "What's the matter?" "Nothing I was a little tense before but now" "No, no I mean with Kevin Why are we going to see his principal?" "Oh, because his teacher said he's been making that face again" "What?" "This?" "Yes The tense face" "He makes that same face at Little League" "You know what his teacher asked me?" "What?" "If we'd ever taken him for a psychiatric evaluation" "What?" "She was just asking" "Why, because he makes a face?" "Has she ever looked in the mirror?" "You know, the face, the crying, the nervousness" "They mentioned the crying?" "Yeah You know, he doesn't really finish his work" "Hey, we'll talk to them on Monday Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine" "Come here" "Where was I?" "Here?" "Was I here?" "Yeah, yeah I was there already?" "Mmm-hmm" "You know, that really pisses me off" "Kid's a little different, a little special, needs a little more attention, teacher's gonna put a label on him "Problem kid"" "When we go see Kevin's principal, let's find out who his teacher is gonna be next year and make sure it's not one of these hysterics!" "You're right, Gil You know, Kevin's great He can't be that much of a problem" "Right Now, if it was my sister's kid" "Garry" "Now, there's a kid with problems" "Hi, Garry!" "You're up so early!" "Yeah" "Where are you going?" "Out" "What's in the bag?" "Nothing" "Garry, you know, the whole family's coming over tonight" "There's a big surprise Grandma and Grandpa are gonna be here, and Uncle Gil and Aunt Karen, they're bringing their kids" "Aunt Susie's gonna be here, and Uncle Nathan, their kids and It was nice talking to you" "Julie!" "Hey, Julie!" "Yeah?" "Julie, can I come in for a minute?" "Yeah" "Julie, I really need your help The whole family's coming over tonight" "I don't know why, but the place is a mess" "Could you just give me a hand?" "Yeah, okay, in just a few minutes" "Are you all right?" "I thought I heard you moaning last night" "Well, I kind of had a little bit of a stomachache, but it's fine now It's gone" "You hate me?" "What?" "You know, for making you study so much and giving up all your dates" "No, you were right" "Honey, I'm telling you, those SAT scores are your ticket" "And, sweetie, you know, once you get to school, you're gonna meet a lot of guys that you like just as well as that Tod" "Why do you always say "that Tod"?" "It just sounds so" "You're right I'm sorry It's been pleasant for a moment" "Okay, I guess I'm just gonna give everybody spaghetti and salad, and I better cook a steak for my dad See you later, honey" "Are you okay?" "Man, your mother can talk!" "Gosh, she hates my ass" "And it's such a cute ass" "Last night, she heard the moaning She thought it was me" "Yeah?" "Mmm-hmm" "So you're gonna have to try and control yourself, Tod" "With you?" "It's impossible" "Wait What?" "I brought something Ooh!" "Good" "We can record our love" "Susan Hi, Sis, it's Helen" "Yeah, did I loan you my big platter?" "Oh, great, great" "Yeah, I thought so Would you bring it over tonight?" "I just need it to serve" "Oh, listen, Julie got 1,291 on her SATs" "I know I know I feel so proud of her It's great" "Yeah How's Patty?" "We're a little disappointed with the effort she's been giving lately towards her work" "Math, French, everything's gone down" "Nathan's talking to her right now He's trying to figure out what's wrong" "Look, Patty, all I'm saying is, if you wanna have just an ordinary academic career and attend an ordinary university, that's your prerogative, but I must tell you I think you're selling yourself way short" "How's it going?" "I don't know Sometimes I feel as though we want it more than she does" "Patty, you know we love you" "Could you just give your father that little extra effort he's looking for?" "Okay, Mama" "That's all I ask" "Come on, Kevin I got you" "I want that, Kevin I want that!" "No" "Kevin!" "Taylor!" "No!" "Time to come in now, children" "Okay Okay, Grandma" "Hey, hey, you wanna" "Come on, I don't believe it Gil, you have a good memory" "Was it yours or Helen or Susan's wedding I got drunk at?" "It was all three, Dad Congratulations" "Well, which one did I punch the bandleader?" "That was mine We have photos" "I'm having them blown up for the commitment hearings" "You think he's funny, huh?" "When he was a kid, he wasn't this funny" "Stayed in his room all day Boy, you were a moody little son of a bitch" "Gee, I wonder why?" "Do you remember that little guy who wouldn't leave my side?" "I know" "Well, now, you know, if I take a step towards him, he just takes a step away" "I don't know what's happening to him, you know" "He's just so unhappy and he won't talk to me, and I don't know how to help him" "Did you ever consider having Ed talk to him?" "Are you kidding?" "He won't even acknowledge he's got these kids, now that he's got his new wife and his new kids!" "He won't even fix my kids' teeth anymore" "He says it makes him uncomfortable" "Please" "Yeah, I wish he'd drop his drill down his pants" "Are you seeing anybody?" "Well, Garry's biology teacher asked me out" "Biology?" "That's promising" "No, no, no, no He's not the type I usually go for" ""The Penal Colony by Franz Kafka"" "Hey, Nathan, Patty a doctor yet?" "Mock if you will" "All right" "Our children are more capable of retaining and absorbing information than we are, and yet we insist on treating them like adorable little morons" "What are you saying, Patty can learn things I can't learn?" "Patty, which one of these is the square root of 8,649?" "Ninety-three" "They're like sponges, Gil, just waiting to absorb" "I want this" "You see?" "Take my advice Forget about Kevin and Taylor It's too late Work on Justin" "Actually, Justin is quite bright In his preschool class, he was the only" "Slow down, Justin I'll get you some dip" "Oh, you remember that guy you went out with in college?" "Jeffrey Sanders?" "You know, you always chased me out of the room whenever he came over" "Oh, yeah I saw him today" "God, what a loser, huh?" "In a Rolls" "I meant me" "What is that?" "Oh, Nathan and Patty and I are power-eating" "We bring our own food everywhere" "He turned me onto it, and I never felt better" "Where do you get that stuff?" "This is it Everybody in the living room This is the big surprise" "Okay, Frank" "Oh, Larry My baby" "You look great Dad!" "How are you, son?" "Oh, boy Great to see you!" "Shit Well put" "Who's that?" "Wait a second, I've got something for you" "That's my kid brother Larry Your uncle" "Don't give him any money" "I won't" "Just a little something for being the best dad in the world" "I found it a couple of months ago It's for your collection" "A toy car!" "Oh, this is great A Stutz!" "Yeah, you got it Spend it on the people you love, right?" "Is this Grandma?" "Yeah, she's still alive" "Jesus, Grandma, you got short" "I'm shrinking" "Bummer" "Gilbo" "Larry" "How long has it been?" "Three years?" "About that" "You stopped wearing your turban" "Yeah" "My God, Susan, you look great If you weren't my sister" "Helen, I know it's been hard" "Dad?" "You were supposed to wait outside so I could introduce you" "Well, why don't you do it now, Larry?" "Everybody, this is my son Cool" "Did he say, "Cool"?" "Cool" "Your son?" "It's a long story" "Let's eat Yeah, well, good idea" "Keep Patty away from my brother" "He'll suck the intelligence right out of her" "Cool is adorable Adorable Why didn't you ever write us you had a son?" "I didn't know myself until a couple of months ago" "You see, a few years ago, I was living in Vegas with this girl" "Showgirl She was in that show Elvis on Ice" "Anywho, we drifted apart as people do in these complicated times, and then a couple of months ago, she shows up with Cool, tells me, "You watch him I shot someone I have to leave the country"" "That's a parent?" "Anyway, we're back in town because I've got something really huge cooking" "Enormo Monster Dad, this is it!" "From now on, I'm going to be taking care of all of you" "This isn't another get-rich-quick scheme, is it, Larry?" "What's wrong with getting rich quick?" "Quick is the best way to get rich Look who I'm talking to" "Did you ever see her family?" "They find a nickel, they huddle together and bury it like squirrels" "What's the deal, son?" "What do you have going?" "Has anyone heard of hydroponics?" "Well, that's great, Larry" "Hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil It's very exciting" "What are you using?" "Coarse sand or suspension hydroponics?" "I don't" "There's a guy with glasses and a lab coat that makes that decision I make the deal" "And I got to thinking Cool's had no kind of life, no family, so while I'm locking this thing down," "I thought it'd be nice if we stayed with you" "With us?" "Couple of weeks" "The thing is, Larry, we don't have the big house anymore, you know?" "We didn't need it" "We just have the one bedroom for us and one for Grandma" "Well, Grandma's welcome to stay with us for a while" "I think it'd be valuable for Patty to have a multigenerational influence" "Fine with me" "Well, I'll have to give you a list of the medications, and when and how much, and you'll have to pick up her shower chair" "There's the batteries for her hearing aid, magnifying glass for reading" "Oh, jeez What happened?" "Your mouth used up all the power" "Don't worry, Dad, we can still find the bar" "I'll get a flashlight I'll get it, Sis" "Mom, Dad, what happened?" "Where is it?" "In the bedroom?" "It's in the nightstand" "Mom, Dad, what happened?" "I'm getting a flashlight" "Kevin Kevin!" "You know I don't like it in the dark" "Honey, this is a blackout" "It's a temporary interruption in the electrical supply of the home" "It's okay, honey Something's busted Relax" "Where's the switch?" "Does this look like my house?" "Here Bring it here Oh, here it is" "What is this?" "Mommy, what was that?" "That was an electric ear cleaner" "It was kind of big It sure was" "I mean, I don't think you really have to worry about it" "The point is that once they see us, then they'll realize that we're fine, and the kid is fine, and it's not something" "Gil" "Karen" "I think we're going to have to be very careful about Kevin's educational environment" "Absolutely" "With that in mind," "I don't think Kevin should come back here next fall" "I'm going to recommend that he be transferred to a school that offers special education classes" "You mean because he's so smart?" "Actually, I mean a class for children with emotional problems" "Hi I'm sorry I'm late" "You must be the Buckmans I'm Dr Jeffrey Lucas" "Dr Lucas is a child psychologist" "He's been observing Kevin for the last couple of months" "Why?" "Mr Buckman, this is a public school" "Thirty-eight kids to a class" "We estimate that Kevin's teacher spends at least 20% of her time dealing with Kevin" "That class is going to finish the year behind It isn't fair" "Kevin is a very sweet, very sensitive, extremely tense little boy" "He needs some special attention" "It's 'cause he was first Mmm?" "It's because he was our first" "I mean, I think we were very tense when Kevin was little" "If he got a scratch, we were hysterical" "By the third kid, you know, you let them juggle knives" "On the other hand, Kevin may have been like this in the womb" "Recent studies indicate that these things are all chemical" "She smoked grass" "Gil!" "I never smoked when I was pregnant" "Yeah, but in college, you were like a chimney" "I thought you were gonna join a reggae band" "Fifteen years ago" "I'm just saying there could've been some chromosome distortions" "Well, you let them do anything You let them watch TV just like that" "So we'll throw the TVs out We'll put the TVs in the garbage, then, and you and I, we'll perform works from Shakespeare or some" "I'm sorry" "I'm just a little thrown off by this" "Gil Karen" "You should not look upon the fact that Kevin will be going to a special school as any kind of failure on your part" "No, I'll blame the dog" "In an educational environment that's more sensitive to his needs" "All right, look First of all, Kevin is not going to a special school" "Whether it's right or not, there's a stigma" "People are cruel, especially children, and I won't subject Kevin to that kind of cruelty" "If we have to, we'll send him to a private school" "I don't care what it costs I'll get a second job" "Mr and Mrs Buckman, this is a problem that won't just go away" "Well, if we need to, we'll send Kevin to a private therapist" "That's right Look, it's a problem We're aware of it, but we're his parents We can handle it" "Well, the next school year is four months off, so let's see what can be accomplished" "Thank you No!" "Tod Tod!" "I need to see No, not in the street Please Please" "What is this?" "It's the party celebrating my mother's promotion at the bank" "Give me that Give me that" "Excuse me This is the wrong batch This is my mother's" "There should be another envelope for Buckman" "Okay" "That was picked up already" "By who?" "Huh" "Hmm" "I think this one is my favorite This is just" "It was just for fun, Mom Well, I'm glad to know it's not a job" "That's that Tod, isn't it?" "There's one where you can see his face" "Is that what bothers you?" "That I did those things or that I did them with Tod?" "Gee whiz, Julie, there's so many things that bother me about this" "I don't know how to separate them" "Oh!" "Ooh!" "Here's something for my wallet" "Tod is very important to me And we've got the pictures to prove it" "Mom!" "This is your room" "You did these things right here in my house?" "Well, I thought someone in this house ought to be having sex" "I mean, with something that doesn't require batteries" "What did you say to me?" "God damn it, you get back here!" "Open this door, God damn it to hell!" "I would just like a little respect!" "Not a lot!" "Just a little!" "Do you know why I'm having sex with machinery?" "Because your father left to have a party, and I stayed to raise two kids" "I have no life!" "God damn it!" "What are you doing?" "I'm leaving before we say things we'll regret" "You're gonna say something worse than the battery remark?" "Tod and I are in love" "It's not "going steady" love, it's love" "I need him He's my life" "He touches me, and I quiver" "Oh, would you give me just a small break?" "See?" "You can't handle it" "Tod's working now We'll find a place to live somewhere" "Hi, Garry Hi" "I'm moving out, Garry Bye" "See?" "You've upset your brother!" "Julie, I'm telling you, if you walk out of this house against my wishes, don't ever think about coming back here" "Fine" "Julie!" "Julie!" "Julie!" "Honey" "Honey, I'm always here if you need me" "Sweetheart!" "Honey, be careful If you want anything, just call me!" "Julie!" "Bye" "Oh, man" "Incredible Just incredible" "I knew you'd be the one who'd appreciate this" "Three years, every night, every weekend I had dinner out here!" "You know, it was a piece of junk when I found it" "First time I got laid was in a car like this" "Frank!" "What?" "Cool just finished lunch" "I'll call the newspaper" "I thought you and Larry could take him somewhere" "I am showing Larry my car" "Just plop him down in front of the TV" "That's what he always does" "Wasn't that Super Bowl incredible right down to the last minute?" "Amazing" "They're usually not that close, huh?" "Oh, no" "No, that's right, and usually the winning team covers the point spread Usually you can count on it" "Take a beating?" "No, thanks I already took one" "Anyway, I had to pay off, and it's left me a little" "What do you need?" "Come on, don't insult me I didn't come here to be insulted" "Come on Come on" "Putting together a deal, you got to look like you can piss with the big boys" "You see?" "You know" "How much?" "Couple of thousand Three, tops" "Three?" "Tops" "Good" "You see, Grandma, Patty studies Eastern philosophy" "Our future leaders are gonna have to be much more in tune with the Oriental mind" "Okay, sweetie, one more time" "Nathan, guess what?" "Oh, you're home early" "Yeah, I have good news What?" "What's up?" "I'm going to teach summer school classes" "That means we'll have vacation money" "Oh, that's great" "Mexico" "Sí, sí" "Gil and Karen are gonna take Patty I just wanna call them" "Gee, honey, I'm really not too pro on Patty spending a week with Gil" "Why not?" "They offered" "I'm a little concerned about his jocularity I mean, he's a wonderful guy" "It's just he's a little, you know, light-hearted about things that I" "That, you know, that we consider important" "She has fun over there You know, she scampers She cavorts" "Try this We take Patty with us" "To Mexico?" "It's a perfect opportunity to start her on Spanish" "It'll be fun" "Nathan" "I thought it would be nice if you and I could be alone" "We will be We'll get two rooms" "Which one will I be in?" "Patty" "That means "come here" in Spanish!" "Por favor Please" "I want you to listen to something" "I got a tape of a mariachi band" "An authentic, indigenous, native Mexican form of music" "Gil, good morning Hello, Cindy" "When were you gonna tell me?" "Tell you what?" "Lenny called this morning and he said they were wondering where I thought we should take Phil Richards to celebrate his partnership" "That Lenny is an asshole Do you believe that guy?" "Nobody was supposed to have that information until next month" "That partnership is mine" "You said it was just held up by Ted's surgery, and then when he got back you'd make it official" "Look, I never said you didn't do great work You do terrific work" "Every firm does good work" "Look, I know you're a lot smarter than Phil, but the guy works like a Trojan" "He schmoozes clients He brings in business" "He's here nights, weekends I own the guy" "And that's what puts your name on the door" "This is really coming out of left field" "I've been here eight years" "I'm the backbone of the operation I know that" "If I don't get this partnership," "I got to think about going somewhere else" "I got to tell you, Gil I don't consider that a realistic idea" "Why?" "You go somewhere else, you're gonna have to get in line behind guys who are younger than you, who have been there longer, who are more committed and who are willing to work for less money" "Look, this thing with Phil is not etched in stone" "I can jerk him along for the next month" "Why don't you use that time to give us your best shot?" "Put in the hours, dazzle me" "Dazzle you?" "Listen, Dave, I'm having a problem at home" "I really need to spend a lot of extra time with my son right now" "Then I don't know what we can do" "Get this guy!" "Get this guy!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" "Oh!" "Well, they're bad dudes That's why they call the game Bad Dudes" "Okay, I should go stay with the girls You got enough quarters?" "Yeah Okay" "Dad?" "Yeah?" "How come I'm seeing a psychiatrist?" "Yeah, we were gonna have a big talk about that" "What's wrong with me?" "Nothing Nothing" "You're great Then how come" "Look" "Look" "You're a kid like I was You have a lot of worries, that's all" "And these doctors, they're experts at helping people with their worries" "It's nothing to feel bad about" "Look, you're a great kid, and I love you very much, okay?" "Okay Okay" "You know what I think?" "I think this is gonna be a great summer for you" "And don't forget you got a birthday coming up" "Let's have a great party That'll be fun, huh?" "Can we have Cowboy Dan?" "Who?" "Cowboy Dan The gun-fighting balloon man" "He was at Billy's party He's cool" "Absolutely It's a done deal This is your dad talking now" "Now, you've got me excited" "Okay, now, what do we say when we see a cute eight-year-old girl walk by?" "Hubba-hubba Hubba-hubba Okay" "Oh, don't tell your mom I taught you that It could be bad Let's go" "Wow!" "You like it?" "Yeah, it's good It's shiny" "Yeah!" "You know, it was junk when I found it" "The first time I got laid was in" "That's a story for another time" "Hi, Dad Dinner ready?" "What was that?" "Huh?" "Oh, some friends were just dropping me off" "Friends?" "Friends slow down They even stop" "Dad" "Oh, Mommy" "Sweetie, you're gonna be okay" "Honey, why would you be panhandling?" "I needed money for a place to stay" "Julie, you have a place to stay" "I'd have to tell you what happened" "What did happen?" "I just said I didn't want to tell you" "Did you leave that Tod?" "Yes" "He promised me he was gonna start a house-painting business, then he said he'd changed his mind" "He's gonna race dragsters with his brothers" "He can't even drive a regular car" "So his brothers came over and we got in a fight" "He said, "No bitch is gonna tell me what to do for a living"" "He told me he loved me" "Sweetie" "They say that, and then they come" "Honey, what can you expect from a kid like that?" "Mom, back off The last guy you dated stole our furniture" "Men are scum I know" "I know, sweetie Men are scum" "Hi, Garry" "Honey, Julie's home Great" "Come on, let's go eat lots of ice cream" "Do you want an ice-cream soda?" "No" "How about Do you want, like, a hot-fudge sundae?" "Do you want a banana split?" "Mmm-mmm" "Do you want something like French fries?" "Yeah" "You do?" "Julie!" "Tod!" "I thought I'd find you here" "What does that make you, Sherlock Holmes?" "I live here" "You live with me" "I wouldn't live with you if the world were flooded with piss and you lived in a tree" "Excuse me, I'm going to the movies" "You're not leaving here until you hear what I have to say" "I'm not" "Julie!" "Let go of me!" "Let her go!" "Julie, just listen to me!" "Julie, please!" "Let her go!" "God damn it!" "Let her go!" "Julie Please!" "Please, Miss Buckman, I love her Let her go!" "God damn it!"
