"That was very nice, Mindy." "Okay." "Jake, we're ready to hear your report." "Jake?" "Just a sec." "Now, Jake." "Okay, I'm finished." "Does spelling and grammar count?" "lt's an oral report, Jake." "Oh, so it's like an oral thermometer." "Right." "Good thing it's not a rectal report." "Just read it." "Okay." ""My Weekend, by Jake Harper." "Grade five, Mrs. Flanigan's class." "Woodward Avenue Elementary School, located on Woodward Avenue. "" "I'm not counting words." "Oh, good." ""My weekend starts on Friday, when my mom takes me to my dad's house." "Which is actually my Uncle Charlie's house." "Who is my dad's brother, making him my uncle." "His name is Charlie, which is why I call him my Uncle Charlie. "" "Anyway... ." ""Even though my parents are divorced, they still get along. "" "Hey, buddy." "Hey, Dad." "How was your week?" "Just fine." "Bye, honey." "Bye, Mom." "Thanks for bringing him." "Bite me."

"... andtoldme Ihad anice rack ." "Well, Judith..." "... youdo." "That's not the point." "Where'd he get the chip?" "Where is he learning this behavior?" "Hey, Judith." "Looking good." "Run away, run away." "Did you give my son a $25 chip?" "No, I did not give him a $25 chip." "Happy?" "He won it, fair and square." "You couldn't run away." "I don't care what you do on weekdays." "But on weekends, remember you are a role model for an 1 1 -year-old boy." "Oh, that's a bad idea." "Who thought of that?" "I'm warning you." "Things had better change or there will be consequences." "Legal consequences." "Got it?" "Got it." "Goodbye." ""There will be serious consequences." "Legal consequences. "" ""l don't care what you do during the week." "But on the weekends, you're a role model. "" "I enjoy talking this way." "As do I." ""Friday night, I stayed up late." "I watched all three Austin Power movies with my dad." "We ate Chinese food and Buffalo wings." "Dad fell asleep during The Spy Who Shagged Me..." "... which,inmy opinion, is the strongest of the trilogy." "By the way, 'shag' means 'sex' in England. "" "Just read, Jake." "That was a footnote." "Read." "Okay." ""l woke up later with a stomachache..." "... butfeltbetterafter I went to the bathroom. "" "If you know what I mean." "Jake." "What?" "It's not like I said:" ""l took a dump. "" ""Anyway, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn 't." "Probably because I was thirsty." "So I went into the kitchen for what Uncle Charlie calls a 'virgin screwdriver. '" "But really it's just a glass of orange juice." "It was late, so I decided to skip the glass. "" "Jake?" "Hang on." "That one hurt a little." "What you doing?" "Having a virgin screwdriver." "Want some?" "No, thanks. I'm good." "What are you doing?" "Watching TV." "Why isn't it on?" "Because I've seen this one already." "Hey, you wanna hear a funny joke?" "Sure." "Why did the blond stare at the juice carton?" "I don't know." "Why?" ""Cause the carton said 'concentrate.' "" "That's okay. I didn't get it either." ""The next morning I was pretty hungry because... . "" "I think you all know why." ""So I had a bowl of cereal with my dad, and we made plans for the day. "" "You wanna go to the museum?" "No. I wanna watch TV." "It's pretty windy out there." "Wanna fly a kite?" "No. I wanna watch TV." "Hiking?" "TV." "l'll get it." "TV." ""We decided to watch TV.

"l know." "And her husband's downstairs." "Really?" "You're married?" "Yeah." "I'm not in." "You have to come and deal with him." "No, I don't." "Yes, you do." "I disagree." "It's not up for debate." "He knows you're here." "Oh, man, I hate when this happens." "This happens a lot?" "Not a lot, but enough to be a drag." "Charlie, are you coming back to bed?" "Yes." "Yes?" "No "yes. "" "There is an angry husband in your living room." "How angry?" "ls he packing?" "What?" "Does he have a weapon?" "l-- He has a stick." "That's not good." "I could lose an eye." "Charlie!" "Come on." "Fine, I'll wrap it up here." "Give me 20 minutes." "Oh, no." "A better idea." "Wrap it up now." "Ten minutes?" "Now." "We got five minutes." ""The weekend was going great, but then something really bad happened. "" "Hey." "Hello." "Who are you?" "l'm Norman." "I'm Jake." "Have you seen my Game Boy?" "No." "Have you seen my wife?" "No." "Well, if you see it, let me know." "Ditto." ""I couldn 't believe it." "I lost my Game Boy. "" ""l couldn't find my Game Boy in the kitchen or living room..." "... soI checkedmy bedroom and my bathroom." "Because, as you may recall, I'd spent a lot of time in there the night before. "" "He'll be right down." "Thank you." "Can I get you a cup of coffee?" "Decaf. I'm already pretty enraged." "Well, that's certainly understandable." "I have cookies too." "l wouldn't say no to a cookie." "Good." "Come on in the kitchen." "I always find a nice cookie can brighten up even the darkest day." "Yeah, well, this better be one hell of a cookie." "lt's a nice house you got here." "Oh, thank you." "Actually, it belongs to my" "You live in the neighborhood?" "Bel-Air." "Oh, that's nice too." "Gated community, but the wife gets out anyway." "Chews through her leash, huh?" "Hey, let me get you that cookie." "You see like a nice fella." "I'm sorry I hit you with my stick." "Oh, that's okay." "I'm sorry my brother is" "That's okay." "So women, huh?" "Can't live with them." "That's all I got." "You married?" "Divorced." "She sleep around?" "No, mostly just slept." "You're lucky." "There's no pain greater than being betrayed by the woman you love." "You know, these are really very tasty." "Aren't they?" "Good morning." "Oh, speaking of tasty cookies..." "... Norman,thisis Berta." "Hello." "What is this, a fix-up?" "No, no." "Nothing like that." "That's good, because I'd probably kill him." "Nothing personal, Cotton Top." "I just kind of like it rough." "Have another cookie." "Thank you." "So is anybody gonna tell me what's going on?" "Well, it's a little complicated." "Charlie" "Got it." "Got it?" "How could you get it?" "There's a Rolls-Royce in the driveway..." "... andI foundthese hanging on the mailbox..." "... soI 'mguessingthatyourbrother's got some bimbo upstairs..." "... andNormanhereisherdaddy  or her sugar daddy." "Tell me I'm wrong." "l'm the husband." "Judges?" "You gotta give it to her." "Yes." "l mean, tough break." "Thank you." "You got a gun?" "No!" "Want one?" "Berta!" "I'm making small talk." "Okay." "You wanna talk this out like gentlemen, or you--?" "You might've mentioned he fought at the Alamo." "No offense." "None taken." "Does that make us even?" "You tell me." "Okay." "One more." "How about that?" "He poked you, you poked his" "Berta!" "What?" "How often do you see that kind of symmetry in life?" "Hey." "Hello." "Were you just up in Uncle Charlie's room?" "Yeah." "Did you see my Game Boy?" "No." "Did you see my husband?" "The old guy?" "Yeah." "He's in the kitchen." "Thanks." "Well, that's weird." "If I was a Game Boy, where would I be?" "I am so sorry." "I had no idea that she was married." "I have a firm rule when it comes to sleeping with married women." "Yeah, if she's firm enough, he'll do her." "Sorry. lsn't there something you could clean?" "I'm guessing you could use a good scrubbing." "Wait a minute." ""And suddenly I realized  Imighthaveleftit in my mom's car. "" "Hey, Mom, did I leave my Game Boy in your car?" "Well, can you go look?" "Can't you just dry off and put on a robe?"

I get it." "You're a nice guy, and I married a skeevy tramp." "No, no, no." "I mean, yeah, I am a nice guy..." "... butI 'msureAnnette is a lovely woman." "Her name is Natalie." "Really?" "You sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." "Because I've been yelling "Annette" all night." "Her name is Natalie." "Well, then maybe this is all just a huge misunderstanding..." "... andI 'vebeenupstairs doing someone else's wife." "Five-foot six, long brown hair, butterfly tattoo on her left hip." "Left hip, huh?" "Hold on now." "A lot of women have butterfly tattoos." "But the one I slept with also had a little beauty mark in a certain intimate place." "I'm not here to claim a lost wallet." "Okay, let's just assume it's her." "Again, I am really sorry." "It's my own fault anyway." "I should've realized back when I married her..." "... amanmy agecouldn'tsatisfy a woman that young." "If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't ring her bell, either."
