"I think we were on mushrooms." "No, that was our second date." "On our first date, we went and had Italian food, and we both agreed that it was selfish and narcissistic to bring kids into this world." "Dax?" " What about that time when we drove your dad cross-country, in the motel room?" " I was talking about how hard it was gonna be to start taking care of my father." "And I..." "That was three years ago." "Yeah, but I mean, it's not like the world got to be a better place." "You know, just today on NPR," "I heard this thing about these kids in Darfur." "Rebel armies march into their villages and kill all the adults." "And then they give the kids a choice:" "Either eat the dead bodies or be killed too." "What are you talking about?" "Cannibalism."

" Ah, well, we were gonna come in last night, man, but your lights were off." "Okay, so we had to sleep in the car." "You know the point is, you just shouldn't be driving like that." " I know that."

"I'm having a conversation!" "It's okay, Bruce." "Safety is our most important concern." " Well, he can be in the garden if I'm with him, right?" "Of course, he can." "I'm not a child." "You shouldn't talk about me like I'm not here." "I'm sorry, Dad." "Do you want to go to the garden?" "Okay." "Let's go." "We're fine." "I didn't mean to." "I know you didn't, Daddy." "Hi, Bruce." "Hey, babe." "I'm sorry..." " Hey." " Olive." " Is everything okay?" " Can you just take him to the garden for me for a second?" "Sure." "[Whispering) Dax." "Come on, Pops." "Let's go take a walk." "He didn't mean to." "We have to talk about options." "Your father either needs 24-hour supervision, or we're gonna have to sedate him." "I'll think about it." " We're not equipped for violent residents." "He's not violent." "Punching is violent." "If it happens again, we're gonna have to ask you to find someplace else." "I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry he hit you." "It's the disease." " I just need a little bit of time." "[Sobbing)" "Then he's like, "Mr. Dax is the best." ""Mr. Dax, he grades my test."

" Yeah." "My mom took us, kind of." " How do you kind of take someone to Disneyland?" " One summer..." "I must have been about seven..." "Jackson started collecting these coupons for half off tickets to Disneyland." "Mm-hmm." " And my mom got really into it with him and collected all summer." "And then when they had enough, she talked Frank into driving us all down." "So all five kids..." "Frank's three girls, me, and Jackson... loaded into the back of Frank's Caddy." "Mm-hmm." "And we drove for hours, no AC, totally hot and sweaty." "You know?" "But no fights." "We were all excited and on our best behavior." "Uh-huh." "And then when we got there... [chuckles)" "Half of the tickets had expired." "Frank got really pissed off." "He started a shoving match with the guy at the gate." "We all had to load back up into the car." "I can still remember the way Disneyland looked getting small through the back of the windshield." " That's, like, the saddest thing I've ever heard." "Everybody was crying, and Frank was yelling at us to shut up, and my mom was a total mess." "But then, you know, she told Frank to pull over." "She grabbed 40 bucks from her purse." "She marched us into Baskin-Robbins." "Any kid could have as much ice cream as they wanted." "Jackson got a banana split the size of his head." "I always just liked chocolate."

"No, that's... that's not..." "I mean, we're not." "It's, um..." "Yeah." "We're not." "Didn't she tell you about it?" " No." "I mean, I knew about this." "It's just... it's nothing." "All right." "Well, I won't say anything to her." "But, um, actually, man," "I kind of wanted to talk to you about..." "She's not pregnant." "Okay." "You know, there was just a slipup with the birth control." "She's fine." "Yup." "[Car door slams shut)" "[Kids chanting) Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "That's enough." "Your mom's stupid." "I said that's enough!" "Come on."

"This wine is excellent." " Oh, good." "I'm glad." "You don't want any?" " Mm, no, I'm still nursing, so I can't." "Can't do it." " Because everything I have will go right to Mathilda, so..." "Oh." " Wow, no alcohol for..." "what is that, a year?" "That's a long time." "You're such a boozehound." " No, I'm just saying, it takes patience, you know?" "He just likes the wine." "Here, let me top you off." " You are a little bit of a boozehound." "Thank you." "All right, well, give me some more." "It is a long time, though, 'cause you know, you're pregnant for 9 months and then nursing for 12." "It's..." " Forever, forever, it feels like." " I really miss coffee more than anything." "Olive loves her coffee." " That's true." "I do love coffee." "I also love wine, so maybe I should have a little more." "Excuse me." "[Water trickling)" " I think he's an awesome dog." "He is an awesome dog." "He's just neurotic." " Yeah, well, all dogs are afraid of fireworks, right?" "I mean, that's not too neurotic." "Maybe not."

"What?" "We're going to sedate him." "Henry got some pills from the vet, and we're going to knock the little pisser out." " That's probably a really good idea." "Just let him sleep through the whole thing and not worry about it." "Exactly." "I think it's immoral." "What?" " Drugging a dog just because it's convenient for you." "It's medical." "I mean, it's for his own good." "Dax." " Did you know that Olive used to drug our cat?" "What?" " She used to blow pot smoke in its face until it got high." "I did that once." "I just don't think that you should be inflicting your will on animals that don't get to participate in the decision." "Wow." " Our dog, he gets into some pot brownies." "This was years ago, but I still feel a little bit terrible about it." "We had a..." "like an entire plateful of pot brownies."

" No." "Not... not right now." "Are you sure?" " Yeah, I-I just don't want to get wet." "You know, there was a sub today at school who got pregnant, and she was using the diaphragm." "I just wanted to make sure that we weren't, you know, too hasty or anything in switching it up and that, you know, it was safe." " Yeah, yeah, it's totally s..." "it's, like... you know, it's as safe as anything else, like, you know, 97% or, like, 98.8% or whatever." "You know, I feel so much better."
