"he's just fucking my mom." " chelsea, watch your mouth." " dad, seriously, man up and grow a pair already." "You're gonna let this asshole steal your wife?" " hey!" "that's my father you're talking about." " thank you, becca." " i really can't believe i quit stripping for you." " i still think it's a solid move." "Now, if you'll all excuse me," "I appear to have an actual fire to put out." " sorry about that, dude." " that's rick springfield." "[fire alarm beeping]" " okay." " [moaning]" " come on, honey, we should really get you to school." " i can't believe you slept with all of them." " it's not that simple, sweetheart." " all of them." " yes, i suppose i did." "yeah." " why?" " i don't know." "i don't know." " that's not good enough." "i want to know why." "There has to be a reason." "Make me understand." " it just sort of happened." " why do you do things like that?" " because i'm an idiot, obviously." " no, you're not allowed to feel sorry for yourself," "Not right now." "You need to talk to me." "You need to tell me why you do the things you do" "When you know that people can get seriously hurt," "Myself included." " god damn it, i hate it when you're mad at me." " i'm not mad at you." "You wouldn't get mad at a big, dumb dog" "For shitting on the rug, would you?" " i would, but i'm a harsh taskmaster." "That's just me." " what do you want me to take away from this," "From how you treat women?" " oh, jesus." " is that all they are to you, walking vaginas?" " there's no excuse for my behavior." "There's no defense if somebody got hurt, especially you." "But i need you to know that i started out" "With the best of intentions." "I guess i just wanted them all to see it," "The thing that makes them special." "I guess that's all anybody wants is to be seen," "To be recognized." "Then the lines get blurry," "And the fact that your mom and i are in such a weird place." "Yeah. hence, the big stinking mess." "But i'm sorry if i let you down, sweetie," "And i don't know how much more" "I'm gonna be able to say i'm sorry" "Before it doesn't mean anything anymore." " i don't know, either."
