"I know how to grill hot dogs." "Anyways, my dad's really busy, so..." "Jake's father is a lawyer in the city." "The city." "And he can't teach his son to grill?" "Mom, can we get some chocolate sauce?" "Oh, yeah." "You want some, jake?" "Sure." "Why can't you get up" "And get it yourself?" "'Cause she's up and she doesn't mind" "Getting it for me." "How do you know?" "Maybe she's sick of getting stuff" "Sal, don't start." "Your mother's up." "It's easier." "See?" "She got it." "She's not complaining." "She knows how good she's got it around here." "Wayne." "Wayne." "?" "Emotion?" "?" "An emotion?" "Good night, bill." "Good night." "Hey, there." "What are you doing sitting in the dark?"

"But i was waiting." "So you said." "Here, sweetie." "I'm sorry." "Ok." "I got you." "While you were out tossing the ball around" "With bill and his, you got a phone call" "From a guy who wanted to know if your tires were rotated." "Ahh, that's wayne." "He's a little..." "Sounds like code to me." "Jim." "I'm serious." "People really must think you're divorced." "People don't think that we're divorced." "It's just that people don't know you." "You haven't been around a heck of a lot, you know." "Oh, i'm sorry i'm not around more." "Busy working to support my family," "Keep a roof over our heads, food on the table." "Jim." "Let's not do this again, ok." "You haven't been working class" "For at least 20 years." "Stop feeling guilty." "Working a 12-Hour day" "Doesn't make you a better person." "I came home earlier today." "Yeah, and it took a bomb threat." "Not that you cared about it or anything." "Hey." "Of course i care." "What do you want from me?" "You want me to imagine you blown into a thousand pieces" "When you're standing here all freshly showered?" "Why would i imagine anything else?" "Why would i imagine anything else?" "Jim, a sense of humor never killed anyone." "Tomorrow, you can spend the day with me" "And the kids and see how the other half lives." "And the kids and see how the other half lives." "That'll make you laugh for sure." "Jake: what are you guys doing?" "What does it look like we're doing?" "Hey, jake." "Want to try?" "Ok." "Close your eyes and open your mouth." "You should have warned me." "What did you think she was gonna do?" "Kiss you?" "Quick." "Smoking?" "No." "No." "Sally: come on, you guys." "Let's go watch tv." "Sam: ok." "Girl: you're not staying." "Julie: no." "Mrs. Gold: do either of you need a ride home?" "No, mom." "They get to stay." "Yeah." "You're gonna miss a good one." "Yeah, yeah." "Tell me about it." "Yeah, yeah." "Tell me about it." "Julie." "Mrs. Gold, how are you doing?" "Fine." "Uh, where you going?" "Home." "But, i thought you had another half an hour." "Ask her." "Mrs. Gold, is it all right if i drive julie home tonight?" "I promise that i'll have her home by midnight." "Yes, you may, bobby." "See?" "I can be cool." "And, uh, just what do you think we're gonna do" "In half an hour?" "Jim." "What do you think about having another baby?" "I think we should." "Susan." "Yeah?" "I don't want to have a baby." "Sam: shh." "Jake: sorry." "Sally:" "let's play marco polo, ok." "Sam: marco."

"You'll be my witness, won't you?" "If anything else bad happens," "You'll let them know it wasn't my fault?" "Paul, i have to go and do something for julie tomorrow," "And i'm not sure how long it's gonna take," "So i need you to be patient, ok." "Ahh, there you go." "I'll be back as soon as i can." "You're gonna be just fine." "Ha, isn't that funny?" "I was just thinking today" "That if this were just a couple of years ago," "I would have been really worried" "To leave you alone for days at a time." "Did you know that?" "I was always so afraid that you'd get yourself into trouble." "I mean, you know how you were." "It was hard to relax." "Here you go, sweetie." "Ok." "There's a security in feeling that the worst has happened." "Makes me feel like nobody would hurt us." "You know, i have this image sometimes" "That someone breaks in and they try to rob us," "And they see your light on under your door, and i say" "Don't go in there, there's nothing for you in there," "But they don't listen and they come in," "And they see you lying here," "And they leave." "They just drop their bags and walk out the door." "They don't even want our things." "They don't want anything that we've touched," "Because, i mean, you know how people are." "They think that misfortune is contagious." "Maybe i shouldn't have told you all that." "But, you know, i don't think of it as a bad thing." "When i look at it that way, i see you as our protector." "Good night." "Good night." "Paul." "Paul." "I brought you a water and a beer." "I didn't know which one you'd like." "I feel so stupid." "I don't even know you." "I am so sorry." "Well, i saw you crying" "As you were walking down the street." "So, uh, i knew what i was getting into" "When i invited you in." "My husband is moving out." "I'm just" "I'm sorry that he's making you feel like this." "It sucks how mean people can be" "To each other sometimes." "Jim?" "You good?" "Mm-Hmm." "Why don't you get up" "And come to breakfast with us?" "Come on." "Sally: come on." "Ha ha ha." "Ha ha." "Get her." "Ha ha ha." "Hee hee hee." "Hi, randy." "Hey, randy." "Hey." "That's not cool, man." "Randy." "Sorry about that." "I was just" "Saying hi to the kids." "No, no." "I wasn't- You know what?" "I was just wondering if you wanted a drink or something" "Because, uh, i don't know, i thought you might be... hot." "No, i'm ok." "It's early, so it's not so hot yet." "Oh, all right." "Well, if you do," "You know, just holler, and i'll... give you some." "Ok." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Not at the moment." "Oh." "Really?" "'Cause you're..." "a good-Looking guy." "Thank you." "Oh, ha ha." "Ha ha." "Wow." "Look at your pulse." "I was on the, uh, you know the" "The nordic track." "And-And" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "I'll let you get back to it." "Ok." "All right." "Thanks for the offer, though." "There's some orange juice with extra vitamins" "In the refrigerator." "Have some." "It'll be good for you." "I thought you were on a diet." "I was." "I am." "That grapefruit thing was making me dizzy." "When i come back, we'll finish your book." "That will give us something to look forward to." "So, uh, you're really gonna do this thing?" "I am." "Well, who's gonna take care of him?" "You are, howard." "You and julie." "Look, i'm going to work." "What am i supposed to do?" "Find someone, howard." "Call the agency." "Get a nurse in." "God forbid you might have to touch him." "Esther, don't." "Don't what?" "You have known about this for 3 weeks." "I cannot believe you haven't made that call." "I'm not going to change my mind." "It's important that i do this." "What do you want me to do?" "You want me to also make the phone call for you?" "You can't even look at him." "You never put your eyes on your son." "How do you think that makes him feel?" "How do i think that makes him feel?" "Esther..." "?" "Hooray for phillip?" "?" "He's getting married today-?" "Mom, come on." "We were watching that." "Please turn it back on." "Stop it." "This is important." "Your father is coming to see you guys." "I want you to go upstairs and get ready." "And i want you to put on nice clothes." "Not play clothes." "Ok?" "Turn the tv back on." "Now, now, now!" "Come on, rayanne." "5 minutes, ok?" "5." "And, sally," "If you could not mention the, uh, salad bowl" "Full of lucky charms to your mom," "I would appreciate it." "I refuse to panic." "There's no reason why they have to know." "I'll get my resume together" "And start looking for another job." "I have to see this as an opportunity to change my life." "I have skills, and i'm gonna put them to use." "And this time, i want some credit for it." "Jake: cut it out." "Susan: choppity, chop, everyone!" "Susan: choppity, chop, everyone!" "Radio: starting today, 15 crazy rock-N-Rollers" "From all over the state" "So, mrs." "Gold, how you feeling?" "You ready to go?" "Yeah." "I guess so." "Why, do you ask, would anyone want to endure 70, 80-Plus hours with their hands on a car?" "My answer." "It's the american dream." "It's something for nothing." "Karen, why do we have to listen to this now?" "'Cause it's my fucking car." "No one else is complaining." "You know you should listen to this stuff." "Learn a little something about helping your mom" "Win a car for you." "Hey, mrs." "Gold." "Hey, tina." "Ok, you guys." "Order whatever you want." "I love coming here," "'Cause you can get whatever you want," "And tina will fix it for you." "Susan?" "Jill." "Hi." "Hi." "How are you?" "Good." "Good to see you." "You, too." "Um, this is my husband jim." "Hi." "This is our son jake and emily, our youngest." "Hi." "Pleased to meet you." "Another "j" name." "Ha ha." "We should stick together."

"Well, it wouldn't be exactly like that." "I don't care." "I don't want to." "Well, you just have to wait" "Until you see the dresses we have." "No!" "We'll talk about it later, then." "Jim, who were you sitting with?" "Did you have a drink with her?" "What happened?" "Forget that." "Go to the mall." "Check out some dishwashers," "Because i believe ours is unfixable." "Oh, ok." "Uh, should i call you" "When i need a ride home?" "No." "I thought you could walk." "Get in some thinking." "Well..." "I guess we better go." "Yeah." "You know, mom, you don't really have to do this." "If you don't want to do it, it's ok." "You don't have to do it." "I mean, you could get a cheaper one," "But then they don't have the sterilization setting." "And you know what that means." "If you or someone in your family gets sick," "Then you all get sick." "And then you start paying out the you-Know-What." "You see that blender?" "Yeah." "I'm gonna use it to make diet drinks in my room," "And then i can give it to my mom for christmas." "Oh, my god, you're so considerate." "I'm gonna get one for my mom, too." "Julie: yeah, it's cheap." "Tina: it's really cheap." "Karen: oh, my god." "Cool." "On sale." "Mine totally melted." "Tina: oh, my god." "Remember that girl" "Who burned off her eyebrows with a hair dryer?" "Was her name marcy?" "What an idiot." "No, it's true." "Julie:" "man, what time is it?" "Oh, fuck, bobby!" "That was not a half hour." "I'll have you home in 2 minutes." "I'll have you home in 2 minutes." "Karen: hey, come on." "Snap out of it." "We could find you better" "At a truck stop." "Tina: hey, that's not funny." "My mom dates a trucker." "Can i help you?" "No." "Hey there, z-100 fans." "Only 5 minutes left till we rocks your rocks" "With our..." ""You call it, you haul it" mega jeep contest!" "Get your t-Shirt and get your hands on this car!" "A man needs a purpose." "The z-100 animals are gonna tear it up!" "Hi." "Name?" "Train." "Jim train." "T" " R-A-I-N." "Jim train." "Did you call in to win?" "No." "Do you have to?" "Sorry." "You gotta call it to haul it." "I'm sure i can find another way." "I'm a lawyer." "If i could just glance at this" "Participation agreement," "I'm sure i could find a loophole." "These kinds of contracts are..." "Filled with" "No call, no haul." "So if you plan on hauling it," "You better get in here." "Julie." "Hi." "Hi." "What are you doing here?" "Well, i tried to enter the contest," "But they make it impossible" "With all their rules and phone calls." "Are you in it?" "You have to be 21, so..." "I gave them my mom's name." "Your mom?" "You can't make her do that." "I can do it." "I can win it." "We'll split it 50-50." "No way." "70-30." "I am not splitting that car with you." "She'll never make it." "I'm still young." "You don't know my mom." "8... 7... 6..." "You have to let me do it." "I saw you in the store." "What store?" "I saw you take that blow dryer." "I didn't take a blow dryer." "You were there." "That makes you an accessory." "Let's go!" "Julie: it's not going to change who's in it now." ""You call it, you haul it" contest has begun!" "There will be no leaning, no falling asleep," "Just good, clean car touching" "For hours and hours and hours." "No, no, come on." "I'm not paying." "It's your car." "I mean, come on." "Bruce, i know it's my car," "But basically its sole purpose" "Is for running the kids around." "Come on." "Fine." "If you could just get your hotshot lawyer" "To get his finger out," "We could have the court decide" "Exactly what's my responsibility" "And what isn't." "They had a bomb threat." "A bomb threat." "That's a new one." "I've gotta hand you that." "Ok, that's it." "Oh, my god." "He's coming over here." "Rayanne, honey..." "daddy's got to go." "Catherine: this must be hard for you." "Sweetie?" "A little." "A little." "Look, i really don't want to" "Add any fuel to the fire, here." "And that's why i was waiting for bruce to leave, but..." "We were just wondering when it would be all right" "To have some movers come" "And take a couple of the bigger things." "Annette: bruce!" "You can't do that to her!" "Ok, sam, i think i can handle it." "Ok?" "Get off the phone already." "Just to take a couple of the bigger pieces," "Like the armoire." "Uh..." "The one that's from bruce's great-Grandfather." "Catherine, please." "Bruce!" "You're making it worse." "Sam, i said shut up and hang up." "I gotta go." "You know, sometimes i don't even know" "Why i bother." "Yeah, neither do i." "Sam, i didn't mean that." "I'm sorry." "Annette: i'm sorry." "Catherine." "Let's go." "Sam." "Sam, where are you going?" "Sam." "Sam, where are you going?" "Come and say good-Bye." "Can i have a hug?" "Ok." "Ok." "Bye." "Don't be out too late." "Can i speak to you?" "Are you doing this on purpose?" "What?" "Turning my children against me." "What did you expect, bruce?" "You haven't seen them in 4 months." "See?" "That's exactly what i'm talking about." "That's the kind of thing you're saying to them, isn't it?" "You know, annette..." "You think you're not doing anything," "But you're making them completely aware of time." "What are you talking about?" "You know perfectly well what i mean." "Kids don't have any sense of time." "It's only adults that give them any kind of concept of it." "So you're proposing..." "That although you haven't seen..." "Or spoken to your children in 4 months..." "They wouldn't be aware of that" "Were it not for me reminding them of it?" "Exactly." "You're a fucking idiot!" "You know, you've got a great way of twisting things around" "To make them seem ridiculous." "I want sam to come to mexico" "With me and catherine tomorrow." "No." "She can swim, she can play." "They got a whole kids' program down there." "You said yourself that she was mad" "That she couldn't get to go away." "Why aren't you asking for rayanne, bruce?" "You know she's got school now." "School you don't want to pay for," "But you want to use as an excuse." "I mean..." "Can we just stop it?" "Please?" "Annette, she doesn't even like me." "You never even try, bruce." "You can't have sam." "No way." "Why don't we let her decide?" "I'm sure that's not something she gets to do a lot of" "Around here." "Go ahead." "Go on." "Ask her." "See what happens." "See what happens." "Bruce: hold on a sec." "Sam!" "Shit." "Sam!" "What is that about?" "My own kid's running away from me" "Like i'm a..." "frickin' monster!" "I don't believe that." "That's annette!" "That there..." "She deliberately ran." "Catherine: i know." "She's confused." "Sally: sam!" "Randy:" "that was a close one, huh?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to scare you." "I was just looking for you, too, johnny." "My name is not johnny." "It's not meant to be." "It's like..." ""Hey, you," but nicer." "Are you ready to go?" "Go where?" "Your mom told me to come get you." "Why, did something happen?" "Is that why he was here?" "I don't think so." "She just said something about..." "Needing some time alone or something." "What about rayanne?" "Uh..." "Yeah, i know, alone with rayanne." "I should go see what's wrong." "Yeah..." "But she asked me to come get you," "So..." "So..." "Tell you what." "I'm gonna go get something to eat." "You can come with." "That way she gets a break." "She could probably use one, right?" "Come on." "Come on." "So what are you saying?" "This contest that you're not even in" "Is giving you a sense of purpose?" "I know i can help." "I don't know why you're making such a big deal" "Out of this." "All i've been doing around here" "Is ruining things." "You said so yourself." "Don't turn this around on me, jim." "This is your decision." "What are you gonna do?" "You're gonna make sure that this woman wins a car" "And this is gonna help you feel useful and fulfilled?" "Why is that so hard to understand?" "Great." "You can tell your kids why you're abandoning them." "I'm not abandoning anyone." "Sue, come on." "Don't." "Don't." "Hey..." "Did i tell you what i got for you today?" "A dishwasher to replace the one you broke." "Yeah, but this one is top of the line." "It sanitizes the dishes while-While..." "While it dries them." "That's pretty cool, right?" "No flu season at the train's this year." "That's great." "I gotta head over to the store," "Pick up a couple things." "You all set?" "You got everything you need?" "Don't forget to call my mom." "I won't forget." "What do you think," "I want to get stuck with you all night?" "Hmm?" "Here." "Order some food for your mom and your sister." "I'll be back in a couple of minutes." "I'll be back in a couple of minutes." "She's not here?" "No!" "Where" "Weren't they there?" "No." "No." "You sure you saw them leave?" "No." "I mean..." "Yeah." "They were pulling out when i got there." "They changed their plans." "They left tonight." "I swear to god, helen, he had this planned" "From the beginning." "Annette, i don't- No, i don't think" "He would have done that." "Rayanne, not now." "Honey, i'm sorry." "I'm sorry, sweetie." "I'll go get her." "He called." "When?" "I don't know." "I was with rayanne." "Sally heard the message." "Here." "Your mom told me she thought you were" "Coming down with something." "I thought you said she wasn't home." "Before, johnny." "She told me before," "When she asked me to come pick you up." "Well, i'm not sick." "I was just acting that way because of my dad." "Well, you must be a pretty good actor" "Because she thought you were sick." "I'm sure not gonna second guess her." "Here." "Just take 4 big gulps." "There you go." "Preventative medicine." "Bruce, on answering machine:" "you know, this is it, annette." "I've had it with you." "You know..." "You've escalated this situation to the place it's at." "And if you leave me with no other recourse" "But to take my children out of your sick little world," "Then so be it." "But i want you to know everything that happens" "From here on out is a direct result" "Of your actions and not mine." "Helen, this is a man i shared a home with," "I had kids with." "What the hell happens to love?" "Come on, johnny, please." "Not again." "There..." "There you go, buddy." "There you go." "Shit." "Shit." "Don't do this to me." "Nobody's supposed to get hurt here." "Come on, buddy." "Come on." "There you go." "There you go." "Here." "See that?" "I told you you were sick." "Here, drink this." "It's emergen-C." "It's a natural stimulant." "I also have energy bars," "Which provide you with, uh..." "All the protein and carbohydrates you need," "In case you feel a little hungry." "And here's a lady vitapak..." "Which will provide all the supplements you need" "For an active day." "Esther, thinking:" "how did i get here?" "Somewhere along the way," "Things have gotten out of hand." "I don't know how." "I tried to do things right, but..." "Maybe that's the problem." "Maybe there is no right or wrong." "We're ruled by chaos." "That would make more sense." "That there are no rewards, no punishments." "Life isn't a series of results" "Of things done right or wrong." "It's all just random." "Those are the rules." "There are no rules." "Of course there's rules." "If there weren't," "None of us could win." "Who'd play if they couldn't win?" "Hello?" "Look where you're at right now." "Esther..." "Are you gonna play?" "I spy..." "With my little eye..." "A lie." "A lie." "How's that shirt fit?" "Ok?" "Yes." "I thought it would." "You puked all over yours," "And i figured you wouldn't..." "Want to sleep in it." "I'll make you a big breakfast." "Woman: you know what we need?" "We need one of those massage guys" "To give us massages on our necks." "Or someone to shampoo our hair." "Don't you people provide extension cords?" "Not that i know of." "Not that you know of." "Jim:" "this is ridiculous." "They can't even get me an extension cord." "Jim, i'm fine." "You are now, but believe me," "This is gonna help," "Because when your back seizes up, it's all over." "Well, then it's over." "Don't talk like that." "The only advantage you have is up here." "Fuck this." "This is insane." "If i want a car, i'll buy one." "Like normal people." "See that?" "Whoo!" "Yeah!" "You know what i love about this, esther?" "No." "There's a goal." "Your hands are on it." "The rules are clear." "You put in the work, and it's yours." "Effort equals reward." "Life could learn a lot of lessons from this game." "Life could learn a lot of lessons from this game." "Emily: mom, did daddy go back to work?" "No." "Daddy got a job" "Working at the mall 24 hours a day." "So he'll be living there now." "Sweetie, what's the matter?" "I want daddy to come home." "Oh, he will." "Mommy was just kidding." "It wasn't very funny." "I'm sorry." "Then why did you do it?" "Because mommies do things like that sometimes." "Tani: jake, it's you." "Come hold me." "I came as soon as i could get away." "Oh, uh, emily doesn't believe in waxing." "She thinks i'd make a good feminist." "This is it." "I'm not taking any more" "Of emily's crap." "You're coming to live with me." "Really, jake?" "I don't have to live with emily anymore?" "No more." "I have to start packing." "Oh, you're the best boyfriend ever." "You're number-Ooh!" "Jake!" "Oh, jake." "Finally." "Finally." "Did you like that?" "Why did you do that?" "You never do that." "What is happening to you?" "What is happening to you?" "I don't know." "Well, i think you should figure it out." "This is a message for sam." "Sam, honey, hi." "It's me." "Uh, i just..." "Wanted you to know that i love you" "And i miss you very much." "And i know your father has money," "And he has you on some fancy trip in mexico," "But believe me..." "Things are gonna get better around here, ok?" "Now, uh, step away from the machine," "Because the rest of this is for your father." "Bruce..." "I am not unreasonable." "We could have worked something out." "Anything." "I mean, something." "And yes, bruce..." "As you put it so eloquently," "Everything that happens from here on out" "Is a direct result of your actions," "Not mine." "Grandma jennings, kiss my ass." "Jake." "Dad!" "Wow." "Shopping?" "A little." "You?" "Yeah, a little." "Do you need anything else?" "Do you need school supplies?" "Clothes or pens or..." "Uh, pencils?" "Mmm... no, no." "Mom usually gets that stuff for me." "Nice shirt, dad." "Oh, yeah, you like it, right?" "Here, uh... why don't you take that home" "And give it to your mom." "And, um..." "Uh... here, give that to emily." "Uh... here, give that to emily." "Thanks." "Oh!" "And here." "You know..." "In case you ever want to talk." "Great." "Yeah, thanks, dad." "Bye." "It's got a 3-Mile range." "Any time." "Any time." "Helen: yes?" "Can i come in?" "Wayne." "There's something i wanted to tell you." "I know you can just write it in a note." "Can't you, and just put it on the refrigerator?" "Guess what?" "I got something for you." "A present?" "What is it?" "Oh, don't tell me." "Let me guess." "A convertible?" "A dream home?" "Ta-Da!" "Oh, a piano." "It's a grand." "See?" "I sure do." "You really are in love with me." "Yeah." "I might be a little rusty." "Wow." "You're so talented." "I got you something else, too." "I got her for emily," "So you can come and live with me." "Her name is j.J. Janie." "You little home wrecker." "Don't bother with the introduction, jake." "I know who she is." "We were born in the same town." "I can't believe this is your solution." "And the piano?" "I suppose the guys down at the store talked you into this." "Jake: she likes music." "Chets: buy the house." "He doesn't want mortgage payments." "Yeah, really." "He's bringing another woman home." "So, i'll get her the piano, then?" "She's gonna love it!" "Tani: see how much they know about us girls?" "Jack." "Jack." "Uh, jim?" "Could adam and i use the tent?" "Well, i just put it up." "This is esther's sanctuary." "But, like, adam's only got 15 minutes left on his break." "I could really use a nap." "Yeah." "All right." "As long as you're out" "By the time esther's break comes up." "Thanks, man." "Thanks, man." "You better hope mrs." "Gold likes her tent a little spunky." "Sorry, frankie." "Nice try, though." "Ok, sue, you ready?" "Ok." "All righty." "Here we go." "Ok, i had a farm in virginia." "Ok." "On a chilly christmas, i crossed a river." "Oh!" "Oh, ok." "I know this." "It's, um, it's abe- George..." "George washington." "Yes." "Yes!" "Oh!" "Oh, sue." "Oh, no." "You know what, sue?" "You did a good job." "Keep the t-Shirt." "We have a loser." "Bye, sue." "Jim: sue, you out?" "Good game." "Here..." "here's a memento." "Thanks." "Good game." "Bye." "Yes." "I" " I-I just wanted to sign up..." "For this class," "But they said that they recommend i don't take it." "Woman: why not?" "I don't know." "Are you 45 or older?" "Um..." "Well, yes, i am..." "Over that age, uh-Huh." "Well, you're considered a risk." "A risk?" "Yes." "To whom?" "Well..." "Well, shouldn't i be the one to decide that?" "I don't make the rules, ma'am." "I'm sorry." "Well, it doesn't make any sense." "I'm too old to be able to take the class," "But i'm not old enough to decide that for myself." "Well..." "I mean, that doesn't make sense, does it?" "Ma'am, i'm sorry." "I really don't know what to say." "Yeah, well, i know." "Heh." "I know you don't know what to say." "Heh." "I know you don't know what to say." "I'm sick of you." "Hey..." "Johnny." "Paul: hey, should we take your brother home" "Before heading to danny's?" "No, man, he can hang out with us." "It's better than staying at home with my folks." "Huh?" "Right." "Hand us a couple of those cool ones, will you?" "You need to take your mind off things." "You should be happy with your love." "Celebrate and shit." "You got a good woman." "Aah!" "Ah!" "Oh!" "Paul:" "yeah, funny now, huh?" "I'm sorry." "What are you doing?" "I was just trying to wake you." "You've been sleeping all day." "It's because of me being sick, remember?" "You said last night i was sick." "Well, i didn't know you then like i do now." "Don't be such a baby." "Don't be such a baby." "You're fine." "You're fine, ok?" "Come on." "I'll make you some onion rings." "We'll play cards." "It'll be a good time." "I'm going to bed." "Oh, come on." "You don't want some crispy," "Delicious onion rings?" "Some root beer?" "It's your favorite, johnny." "I'm not johnny." "Karen: what's he supposed to do?" "Get up and answer it?" "Just shut up." "I know it's stupid." "It's something my mom does." "It's something my mom does." "Oh!" "Oh, that's the antiseptic." "Just breathe through your mouth." "Oh, god." "I used to have such a crush on your brother." "Yeah." "Who didn't?" "Yeah, well, he's currently available" "If either of you are still interested." "You slept with him, right?" "No." "I never did." "I mean, we were drunk." "He passed out before anything happened." "He passed out before anything happened." "Hey, do you think he can hear us?" "Mom thinks so." "Hey, paul." "It's tina." "He's warm." "Well, he's not dead." "Where do these tubes go?" "Pretty much anywhere" "Things need to come in or out." "Does that mean he has one in-In his..." "You know?" "Tina: can i see it?" "Julie: yeah." "Go ahead." "Oh, my god!" "It looks like it hurts." "He hasn't complained." "Wow." "His is bigger than- Bigger than adam's." "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Sorry." "Tina: i'm going to wait downstairs." "Yeah." "We should probably go back." "Yeah." "We should probably go back." "Paul: that was good." "The new one went over well." "I thought people responded." "Randy: yeah." "It's getting better." "It's getting there." "Hey." "Randy: ok then." "I guess i'll talk to you later." "Have fun you two." "Come here." "Bill: are we rockin' your town rocks?" "I know you're rockin' mine." "Next up, insane reindeer clan." "Fun?" "That's z-100." "I played that last song for you." "You like it?" "I did." "It was beautiful." "Tina: oh, my god." "Look at them." "Don't-Don't- Don't mind us." "You just keep doing whatever you're doing." "What the fuck are you guys doing here?" "It's a bar, paul." "We can sit wherever the fuck we want." "Who's this?" "One of your mom's friends?" "That's really fucking funny, karen." "I should go." "Yeah." "You should go get some sleep." "It'll help with those wrinkles there, honey." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Uhh." "What?" "Maybe, should i drop by a little bit later?" "No." "Stay with your friends." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "They don't scare me off." "I'll see you tomorrow." "No matter what they say." "No matter what they say." "Karen," "Why don't you just get the fuck out of here?" "'Cause i really don't want to see your face" "For the rest of the night." "I hope when i'm old i get to have sex" "With a young cute guy." "That'd rock." "Shut up, tina." "Shut up, tina." "See what you get for not going out with me?" "Well, it's the 50th hour, folks." "And we have 5 contestants and they are going strong." "I don't know what they're running on," "But i can tell you this much," "It doesn't look like anybody is going to give it up" "Anytime soon." "If anything else bad happens," "You'll tell them it wasn't my fault." "Sam, where are you going?" "Where are you going?" "I got to get out of here." "Did you hear me?" "Did you hear me?" "Julie, did you hear me?" "What's happening to you?" "You really going to do this thing?" "Do i get to know who that is," "Or does it matter?" "It matters." "You're a good kid." "Love you." "What happens to love?" "What does he think we were doing?" "Just ignore him." "He's stupid." "Susan?" "Susan?" "I don't understand you." "Accept it already." "Everyone else has." "Julie: mom?" "Randy: put it in that case, johnny." "Can i hang out" "With paul and his friends tonight?" "Not a chance, chunks." "Randy's the one who invited me," "So you can't tell me i can't go." "Randy, what's up, man?" "She's your sister, man." "Be nice." "I'm bringing my brother." "Mom, please." "Please." "Well, let's put it this way." "It's 11:30 and your curfew is midnight, so." "Paul: darn it, chunks." "I'm sorry." "Better luck next time, huh?" "Bill: 20 seconds before the midnight hour." "A new day." "Hey, come here." "Pick a hand, any hand." "That one." "All right." "Open your hand." "Now, don't look, though." "Don't." "All right." "Guess." "Oh, man." "It feels weird." "I said don't!" "I guess you can go ahead and look now." "Get it?" "We're gonna go fishing." "I want to call my mom." "I already called her." "No." "But i need to talk to her." "Well, you can't." "I don't have a phone." "Isn't that illegal?" "What are you, mister law and order?" "Just because everybody's got a phone, fax, computer," "Doesn't mean it's illegal not to." "It doesn't mean they're smarter or better." "You just start collecting things," "You start thinking you care about stuff." "And then, when they're gone," "When they break or someone steals them," "Well, you feel like a part of you is gone, too." "When you have things and suddenly you don't," "It feels like you've disappeared." "Nothing should make you feel like that" "Except when you lose a person." "Finch, peabody, singer." "Jim, on phone:" "marilyn, hi." "It's jim." "Jim, where are you?" "You haven't called my house, have you?" "No." "What did you tell them?" "That we had a bomb threat." "A bomb threat?" "Jim, what are you doing?" "You know what i'm doing." "I work my butt off at that firm" "And they give ryan a partnership and me a plaque." "I'm not stupid." "I can't believe they'd think i'd fall for that." "You can't do this, jim." "You're going to lose your job." "I thought i already did." "Don't they know i walked out?" "No." "Marilyn, i was trying to make a statement." "Jim, these people don't care about statements." "All right?" "You quit, they replace you." "No statement." "So, what are you going to do?" "Is that jim?" "How is he?" "Let me speak to him." "Finally, we have esther gold," "Our 52-Year-Old professional mom." "So, esther, what do you plan to do" "With this machine if you win?" "Well, first of all, bill," "There's a lot more to being a mom" "Than you think." "Ok." "My bad." "But the car." "What do you plan to do with that?" "I'm going to give it to my daughter julie." "Whoa!" "I want you to be my mommy." "I think." "Where is this lucky daughter?" "She's right over there." "Julie?" "Would you mind, sweetie?" "Come over here." "Thanks." "Bill: hi." "Julie: hi." "How do you feel about your mom" "Doing something like this for you?" "Oh, it's great." "It's great that she's doing this for me." "It's unbelievable." "How on earth do you get somebody to do this?" "Well, i just asked her." "I mean, it's only, like, 3 or 4 days of her life." "It's really not that big of a deal." "And i know it's hard, but she knows" "It's going to make up for a lot." "It's going to make up for a lot." "Bill: ok." "Well, there you have it, listeners." "Guilt is alive and well," "And, if it's used properly," "It may even win you a brand new, shiny z-100 s.U.V." "I will not regret the things that i do." "I will not regret the things that i do." "I will not regret the things that i do." "Well, this is my room." "It's nice." "I got a bunch of stuff in here" "From when i was little." "Hey, cool." "I used to have this one." "Go ahead." "Take it." "I don't really need it anymore." "Oh, do you like that one?"

"I'm going to get surround sound" "And we're gonna listen to my music." "Karen: great." "Ok, why do i always have to sit in the back?" "Because that's just where you're going to end up anyway."
