1. - What's this?Copy !req
2. - I'm putting
in a hoop for Jack.Copy !req
3. - What's going on here?Copy !req
4. - What?Copy !req
5. - What are you doing?Copy !req
6. - I'm putting in
a hoop for Jack.Copy !req
7. - Today?Copy !req
8. - Yeah, it was the
only day Mike was available.Copy !req
9. - It wasn't supposed
to be today.Copy !req
10. You have to tell
me these things.Copy !req
11. Oh, God, look at it.Copy !req
12. Oh, why did you?Copy !req
13. - Because this is the
only spot it can go.Copy !req
14. - That's not the only spot.Copy !req
15. Oh, this is
ridiculous, I mean, oh,Copy !req
16. I don't believe it.Copy !req
17. - He's gonna love it.Copy !req
18. - You know it,
this is it, really.Copy !req
19. This is it, the last time.Copy !req
20. - But the roses have black
spot already, I'll spray.Copy !req
21. - No, not with the, oh,
dammit, leave me alone.Copy !req
22. Leave me alone.Copy !req
23. - Do you
ever look at your familyCopy !req
24. and wonder who they are?Copy !req
25. Those are my parents.Copy !req
26. - They're not my roses,
they're the house's roses.Copy !req
27. - At
least they used to be.Copy !req
28. - How's the boat building?Copy !req
29. - Are we
going to the movies?Copy !req
30. - I have to
move some stuff.Copy !req
31. - But it's Saturday,Copy !req
32. and we always go to
the movies on Saturday.Copy !req
33. - Jack wants to go to the movie.Copy !req
34. I thought I'd drop the stuff
off, then maybe take him.Copy !req
35. - You're not taking
him anywhere.Copy !req
36. - You're acting extreme, Anne.Copy !req
37. - Don't tell me how I'm acting.Copy !req
38. - Okay.Copy !req
39. Sorry, no movie today, Jack.Copy !req
40. - Why not?Copy !req
41. - Because I say so.Copy !req
42. - But we always go
to the movies on Saturday.Copy !req
43. - Anne.Copy !req
44. - To
be honest, I didn't giveCopy !req
45. a damn about the movie, but
there was something going on,Copy !req
46. and I didn't know what it was,
and I didn't know what to do,Copy !req
47. except act normal.Copy !req
48. - Tell Jack
I'll call him later.Copy !req
49. - It's
like you had a hero,Copy !req
50. and all of a sudden he's gone.Copy !req
51. When you're a kid and
you've got a fatherCopy !req
52. who reminds you of
Superman, who seems like heCopy !req
53. can do anything, a father
who's the kind of guyCopy !req
54. that climbs on the roof to
rescue your dweeby G.I. JoeCopy !req
55. when it's caught up there
in some idiotic experiment.Copy !req
56. And then, one day, he's gone,Copy !req
57. disappeared into a
million differentCopy !req
58. green plastic garbage bags.Copy !req
59. No explanations offered.Copy !req
60. Nothing anyone says later
makes a bit of difference.Copy !req
61. - Shot of the green?Copy !req
62. - No thanks.Copy !req
63. - Listen, I was
thinking, I could justCopy !req
64. stay at my place
tonight, if you like.Copy !req
65. - Whatever makes you happy.Copy !req
66. - Look, if you want
me here, I'm here.Copy !req
67. I just never know
what you're thinking.Copy !req
68. - Why don't you let
him move in already?Copy !req
69. He practically lives here
anyway, so what's the big deal?Copy !req
70. Oh come on, he's living
out of a duffel bag.Copy !req
71. You should at least
give him a drawer.Copy !req
72. - I don't wanna rush things.Copy !req
73. It's Wednesday, so don't
forget, dinner with Dad.Copy !req
74. - Okay.Copy !req
75. - Want a ride?Copy !req
76. - Sure.Copy !req
77. - See ya tonight.Copy !req
78. Wednesdays are very intense.Copy !req
79. - Yeah, it's the dinner
with the dad thing.Copy !req
80. You know, when he first left,Copy !req
81. I wasn't allowed
to see him at all.Copy !req
82. Then she felt guilty,
so she startedCopy !req
83. the Dinner with Dad program.Copy !req
84. You're lucky you missed
the bit where she triedCopy !req
85. to be like my replacement dad.Copy !req
86. - Oh, was that
the basketball stuff?Copy !req
87. - Mm-hmm, and she's
actually gotten pretty good.Copy !req
88. It's just a little weird.Copy !req
89. Especially the time
she tried to take meCopy !req
90. to the father-son team dinner.Copy !req
91. Yeah, so are your
parents still married?Copy !req
92. - Yeah, 43 years.Copy !req
93. You know, it's amazing
to think of spendingCopy !req
94. your whole life
with the one person.Copy !req
95. - Yeah, equally amazing to watchCopy !req
96. your whole family fall apart.Copy !req
97. - For five bucks, name the
guidance counselor I spieedCopy !req
98. shoplifting at K-Mart.Copy !req
99. - Wagstaff.Copy !req
100. - Laydon, I saw her slip
a stapler into her purse,Copy !req
101. and then some Tootsie Rolls.Copy !req
102. - All right, listen up.Copy !req
103. We're gonna start
with some drills.Copy !req
104. Four lines, go, go.Copy !req
105. One passes to three,
two passes to four.Copy !req
106. A braid, you guys, like
a smooth strand of DNA.Copy !req
107. From one side of the gym
to the other, let's go.Copy !req
108. Come on, synchronize,
guys, synchronize.Copy !req
109. Know where the other men are,
anticipate the next move.Copy !req
110. You're walking through it, guys,Copy !req
111. you look like a buncha
pansies, come on.Copy !req
112. - You know, my dad showed
up again yesterday.Copy !req
113. - Oh yeah, what did
you do this time?Copy !req
114. - He put a basketball
hoop out front.Copy !req
115. - Oh really?Copy !req
116. That's great.Copy !req
117. - Yeah, except last night,
I kinda lost my mindCopy !req
118. and attacked it.Copy !req
119. I tried to knock it down,Copy !req
120. and now it's just
a wee bit tilted.Copy !req
121. - Tilting adds character.Copy !req
122. - Maybe.Copy !req
123. - When
Mrs. Burka smiled at me,Copy !req
124. I think I turned beet red.Copy !req
125. I woulda stared at her, if
only I could've figured outCopy !req
126. how to do it without
getting caught.Copy !req
127. - You want an apple?Copy !req
128. - No thanks.Copy !req
129. - Hey, Samster Hamster
boy, how you doing?Copy !req
130. - Good.Copy !req
131. - Want some milk?Copy !req
132. - No, we don't want
milk, all right.Copy !req
133. We don't wanna talk, either.Copy !req
134. - You staying for
dinner tonight, Jack?Copy !req
135. - Not tonight.Copy !req
136. - Okay.Copy !req
137. I like your mom.Copy !req
138. She always wants to
know everything—Copy !req
139. - No, my mom needs
to get a life, okay?Copy !req
140. Every day I come home, she's
like, do you wanna talk?Copy !req
141. She's thoroughly bored.Copy !req
142. See what I just did?Copy !req
143. So, you gonna drop
a bomb or what?Copy !req
144. - No, Max, I outgrew the
impulse to blow things upCopy !req
145. about two years ago.Copy !req
146. I'm just waiting
for you to catch up.Copy !req
147. - Oh, napalm.Copy !req
148. - Daddy's home.Copy !req
149. Daddy's home, Daddy's home.Copy !req
150. - Hey, hey, monster man.Copy !req
151. - Hey, hon, how was your day?Copy !req
152. - Good.Copy !req
153. - Yeah?Copy !req
154. - Good, really good.Copy !req
155. I scored a new client today.Copy !req
156. It's gonna mean
extra work, but uh,Copy !req
157. that's what I'm here for, right?Copy !req
158. - Oh, no, here.Copy !req
159. Do you wanna beer or something?Copy !req
160. - Yes, please.Copy !req
161. - Great.Copy !req
162. - Thank you.Copy !req
163. Maxie, go deep.Copy !req
164. - Head's up.Copy !req
165. - Honey.Copy !req
166. Why are the
trashcans still here?Copy !req
167. How many times have I told
you to take them out back?Copy !req
168. - I better go, it's
dinner with Dad.Copy !req
169. - Yeah, how is your dad,
haven't seen him for a while.Copy !req
170. - He's good.Copy !req
171. - What
I didn't tell Mr. B.Copy !req
172. is that every Wednesday
night, my father and ICopy !req
173. played a weird game where
we got all dressed upCopy !req
174. and he took me to some
totally expensive restaurantCopy !req
175. and talked to me about
incredibly serious stuff,Copy !req
176. like the meaning of life,
while I was busy worryingCopy !req
177. about whether I was
using the right fork.Copy !req
178. - What can
I get you tonight?Copy !req
179. - I'll have the
tuna, rare please.Copy !req
180. - Okay, and
what would you like?Copy !req
181. - Chicken for me.Copy !req
182. And can I get
french fries insteadCopy !req
183. of scalloped potatoes, please?Copy !req
184. - Sure, honey.Copy !req
185. - Look, Jack,Copy !req
186. I've been spending a lotta time
trying to figure things out.Copy !req
187. Now I don't know if this is
gonna make any sense to you, butCopy !req
188. you're at an age now, that,Copy !req
189. people love to do things, right?Copy !req
190. Some people love to read,
some people love to goCopy !req
191. to the movies.Copy !req
192. Your mom loves
reading the newspaper.Copy !req
193. You love basketball.Copy !req
194. What I'm trying to
say is that there areCopy !req
195. many different kinds of love.Copy !req
196. How we love, no,
not how we love.Copy !req
197. What we allow ourselves to feelCopy !req
198. is very complicated.Copy !req
199. And, and,Copy !req
200. sometimes love doesn't
has any limits.Copy !req
201. What do you think about
when you think about love?Copy !req
202. - Nothing.Copy !req
203. I think nothing.Copy !req
204. - Nothing, you think nothing.Copy !req
205. So basically this dinner
was a waste of time?Copy !req
206. - Pretty much.Copy !req
207. - Do you
remember when we wentCopy !req
208. on that huge Ferris wheel?Copy !req
209. - I think I was three.Copy !req
210. - Why is that parents
always do thingsCopy !req
211. with kids when they're
too young to remember?Copy !req
212. You enjoyed it very much.Copy !req
213. - Look, you're always
asking me to remember.Copy !req
214. It's like a constant
walk down Memory Lane.Copy !req
215. Do you remember when
everything use to be normal?Copy !req
216. Do you remember when you
still lived at our house?Copy !req
217. Come on, can we just stay in
the present, here and now.Copy !req
218. - I was just thinking
about things.Copy !req
219. - Duh.Copy !req
220. - Here, try the calamari.Copy !req
221. - Tastes like a
deep-friend rubber band.Copy !req
222. So what's calamari?Copy !req
223. - It's Italian for
deep-fried rubber band.Copy !req
224. Squid.Copy !req
225. Wanna try the portobello?Copy !req
226. - What is it?Copy !req
227. - Mushroom.Copy !req
228. How about I pick the
restaurant the next time?Copy !req
229. - Might be a good idea.Copy !req
230. - How was dinner
with your father?Copy !req
231. - Good.Copy !req
232. - What did you eat?Copy !req
233. - Creepy stuff.Copy !req
234. - What did you talk about?Copy !req
235. - I have no idea.Copy !req
236. - Shall we hang this?Copy !req
237. - Okay.Copy !req
238. - You know, I got a hammer
downstairs, if you need one?Copy !req
239. - No, no, it's not a big hole.Copy !req
240. - Listen, they're coming
around to collect stuffCopy !req
241. for the homeless
shelter tomorrow,Copy !req
242. so anything you don't need
would be a bounty for the poor.Copy !req
243. - Sure.Copy !req
244. - Oh, very nice.Copy !req
245. - It's stuff I've been saving.Copy !req
246. Historical artifacts
of my entire life,Copy !req
247. in case the Smithsonian
ever needs to doCopy !req
248. an exhibit on me,
the American boy.Copy !req
249. - Ah.Copy !req
250. - There are a few key
elements in case I ever getCopy !req
251. amnesia and need to be
reminded of who I am.Copy !req
252. - Right.Copy !req
253. Thank you.Copy !req
254. And listen, I meant to ask you.Copy !req
255. How would you feel if I built
a Zendo in the backyard?Copy !req
256. - What's a Zendo?Copy !req
257. - It's like a meditation room.Copy !req
258. You could use it too
whenever you need a moment.Copy !req
259. - It'd be great.Copy !req
260. - Our friends thank you.Copy !req
261. - Shoot a few?Copy !req
262. - Mom, you're embarrassing me.Copy !req
263. - Oh come on,Copy !req
264. You know, I could
get good at this.Copy !req
265. Maybe I should join a team.Copy !req
266. Oh, come on, try again.Copy !req
267. - Okay.Copy !req
268. - Come on, be a good
sport, you should be proud.Copy !req
269. How many kids can say their
moms can play basketball?Copy !req
270. Yes!Copy !req
271. It's gonna be okay, you know?Copy !req
272. That's it, that's it.Copy !req
273. - Yeah.Copy !req
274. - Oh, come on.Copy !req
275. - Come on.Copy !req
276. Aren't you excited?Copy !req
277. Hi, Mr. Bailey.Copy !req
278. - Mrs. Stanford.Copy !req
279. - Go on.Copy !req
280. Go on.Copy !req
281. - New drivers pass
through levels.Copy !req
282. Each level offers
more responsibility,Copy !req
283. freedom from restrictions.Copy !req
284. What's this?Copy !req
285. - Rear bumper.Copy !req
286. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
287. Teenagers pick up their
parents' driving habits.Copy !req
288. - Trunk.Copy !req
289. - Correct, how do
your parents drive?Copy !req
290. Do they put it in reverse
without looking behind?Copy !req
291. Do they pull out too fast.Copy !req
292. The more crashes the
parents have had,Copy !req
293. the greater the likelihood
the teen will crash.Copy !req
294. Get in the driver's seat.Copy !req
295. Have your parents crashed?Copy !req
296. - I don't know,
they're divorced.Copy !req
297. - Put
on your seat belt.Copy !req
298. Start her up.Copy !req
299. And drive it very, very
slowly down the street.Copy !req
300. - Okay.Copy !req
301. Sorry, sorry.Copy !req
302. - I have
only one neck, smoothly.Copy !req
303. - Sorry.Copy !req
304. - Seeing is believing.Copy !req
305. Think about your blind spots.Copy !req
306. You can't ever forget,Copy !req
307. there's always something
you cannot see.Copy !req
308. - Yeah, that I know already.Copy !req
309. - Time passed.Copy !req
310. It wasn't like I got over
it, but life went on.Copy !req
311. Except for now, my mom let my
dad take me on Saturdays too.Copy !req
312. I was finally growing more
hair on my legs than my mom,Copy !req
313. and things were
pretty much things.Copy !req
314. - So, what's new?Copy !req
315. - Not much.Copy !req
316. Are you okay?Copy !req
317. - Yeah.Copy !req
318. - You just have that look.Copy !req
319. - What look?Copy !req
320. - The one where you're
about to say somethingCopy !req
321. that's gonna make
me lose my lunch.Copy !req
322. Or the one where you pause
for a really long timeCopy !req
323. and you say something
like, Grandma's sick,Copy !req
324. which means she's already
dead or something like that.Copy !req
325. - Well Grandma's fine.Copy !req
326. But we need to talk.Copy !req
327. - See?Copy !req
328. - Look, Jack, I, I don't
know if you can understand,Copy !req
329. but I'm gonna tell you.Copy !req
330. I have been running
away from myself,Copy !req
331. all these years, and a
person can't do that forever.Copy !req
332. It catches up.Copy !req
333. A while ago, I realized that,Copy !req
334. that I would be happier
if I did not liveCopy !req
335. with your or your mother.Copy !req
336. Hey, I love her.Copy !req
337. I always did, I always
will and I still do, but.Copy !req
338. Do you remember
Bob, my friend Bob?Copy !req
339. - Yeah, the guy you
went on the trip with?Copy !req
340. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
341. Bob and I are lovers.Copy !req
342. - I wanna go home.Copy !req
343. - Jack!Copy !req
344. Jack.Copy !req
345. Jack.Copy !req
346. Jack?Copy !req
347. - Get in the car,
I'll give you a ride.Copy !req
348. - I'll walk, thanks.Copy !req
349. - Get in the car, you're
gonna get pneumonia.Copy !req
350. - I'll walk.Copy !req
351. - Jack, don't do this.Copy !req
352. - Do what?Copy !req
353. You're the one who's doing it.Copy !req
354. - I told you because I
thought you should know.Copy !req
355. Nothing has changed, I'm
exactly the same personCopy !req
356. I was 20 minutes ago.Copy !req
357. Jack, I'm still your father.Copy !req
358. - No you're not.Copy !req
359. - He never even told you?Copy !req
360. Elaine.Copy !req
361. Okay, yeah, I'll see
you tomorrow, bye.Copy !req
362. What happened?Copy !req
363. - Well, other than my father
telling me he was gay,Copy !req
364. I went for a swim.Copy !req
365. How can this, I
shoulda seen it coming.Copy !req
366. I shoulda been smarter, I
shoulda been paying attentionCopy !req
367. to what he was trying to tell meCopy !req
368. over all that
lobster and calamari.Copy !req
369. - Your father loves
you very much.Copy !req
370. - He's not my father.Copy !req
371. - Yes, he is, he's your
father and you're his son.Copy !req
372. - No.Copy !req
373. Mom, no, no.Copy !req
374. He's a stranger, he's
a person I don't know.Copy !req
375. He's got a whole other life.Copy !req
376. He's got a boyfriend.Copy !req
377. How can this even be happening?Copy !req
378. Did you know?Copy !req
379. Oh well, how did he tell you?Copy !req
380. Did he take you out
in a rowboat too?Copy !req
381. - He doesn't like
keeping secrets.Copy !req
382. - Well he shoulda kept that one.Copy !req
383. - He and Bob are getting
an apartment together.Copy !req
384. Did he tell you that?Copy !req
385. - No, but he was probably
about to when I jumped.Copy !req
386. Mom, I don't wanna
see him anymore.Copy !req
387. - If you wanna
talk, you gotta dig.Copy !req
388. - And what's to talk about?Copy !req
389. All of a sudden my
father is a fairy queen.Copy !req
390. Is that why he left
us, he's a fairy?Copy !req
391. - Don't use that word.Copy !req
392. - What word should I use?Copy !req
393. - Your father and I separated
because we couldn't get along.Copy !req
394. We couldn't live together.Copy !req
395. You remember how we
were always fighting.Copy !req
396. - Yeah, because it turns
out Dad's a big old fag.Copy !req
397. How can he be a homo
and have me as his kid.?Copy !req
398. Homos don't get married,
and homos don't have kids.Copy !req
399. Was he always a homo?Copy !req
400. - Your father was always
going through phases.Copy !req
401. Gardening, music, car repairs.Copy !req
402. It was always something.Copy !req
403. I actually thought this
was one of his phases.Copy !req
404. - Why is he doing this to me?Copy !req
405. - No one is doing
anything to you.Copy !req
406. He was telling you who
he was, about his life,Copy !req
407. and he wanted to make
you part of his life.Copy !req
408. - Well, if he's a homo,Copy !req
409. what does that make me?Copy !req
410. Am I homo too now?Copy !req
411. Because maybe that's
it, maybe I'm a homoCopy !req
412. and I don't even know it.Copy !req
413. - Jack, you're two
separate people.Copy !req
414. He is who he is,Copy !req
415. and you're gonna
figure out who you are.Copy !req
416. - When he first left, I
thought it was my fault.Copy !req
417. I was too boring, I wasn't
enough of a movie freak,Copy !req
418. I wasn't fast
enough at baseball.Copy !req
419. - Life is complicated.Copy !req
420. You think I didn't
wonder what happened?Copy !req
421. He's your father, but
he was my husband.Copy !req
422. Maybe it was me, Jack.Copy !req
423. Maybe it was something I did.Copy !req
424. I wasn't a good enough wife.Copy !req
425. I wasn't a good enough mother.Copy !req
426. I never made breakfast.Copy !req
427. I smoke.Copy !req
428. I hate cleaning the house.Copy !req
429. - No.Copy !req
430. No, no, no, it's not you.Copy !req
431. It's Dad, it's his fault.Copy !req
432. Mom, I hate him.Copy !req
433. I hate him, I hate him,
I hate him, I hate him.Copy !req
434. - Shh.Copy !req
435. - My father
called about 20 times a dayCopy !req
436. trying to get me to let
him be my father again.Copy !req
437. He would drive over
and just sit outside,Copy !req
438. not moving, like a statue.Copy !req
439. I refused to talk to him,
and even that didn't work.Copy !req
440. - You ever just
wanna go up to a girlCopy !req
441. and plant one on her?Copy !req
442. Like, I bet I can get
that girl to kiss me.Copy !req
443. - You don't even know her.Copy !req
444. - So?Copy !req
445. - What's the deal with you?Copy !req
446. Suddenly, you're Mr. Hormonal.Copy !req
447. You have to kiss a girl or
you're gonna die or something.Copy !req
448. - Okay, just pick
a girl and I betCopy !req
449. I can get her to kiss me.Copy !req
450. - Fine.Copy !req
451. And what about her?Copy !req
452. - Can't you at least
pick someone who's human?Copy !req
453. Maggie Rogers?Copy !req
454. No, the degree of
difficulty on herCopy !req
455. is just a big too high.Copy !req
456. - Well, you can't just
go up and kiss somebody.Copy !req
457. You'll get arrested.Copy !req
458. Okay, remember that
kindergartener who got expelled?Copy !req
459. You have to ask first.Copy !req
460. - Is this where
you're supposed to be?Copy !req
461. - Yeah, yeah it
is, for the moment,Copy !req
462. this is exactly where
I'm supposed to be.Copy !req
463. Okay, how did you do that?Copy !req
464. Did you give her money?Copy !req
465. Did you offer to do
her homework, what?Copy !req
466. - No, I just I said I
thought she was really prettyCopy !req
467. and that I wanted to kiss her.Copy !req
468. I said I felt
compelled to kiss her.Copy !req
469. - And that worked?Copy !req
470. - Yep.Copy !req
471. - Wow, your first kiss.Copy !req
472. - Nah, not my first.Copy !req
473. Maryann Miller in the
second grade used to kiss meCopy !req
474. all the time, and she
was in the third grade.Copy !req
475. - An older woman.Copy !req
476. - Yeah.Copy !req
477. - End of drill.Copy !req

483. Where's the Bob?Copy !req
484. - His name is Bob, not the Bob,Copy !req
485. and he had a meeting
at the last minute.Copy !req
486. - Oh.Copy !req
487. Okay.Copy !req
488. - New bookcase?Copy !req
489. - Oh yeah, yeah.Copy !req
490. Actually, that's
how I met Michael.Copy !req
491. I hired him to
build me a bookcase.Copy !req
492. - Jack still doesn't
wanna see me?Copy !req
493. - No.Copy !req
494. He's 15.Copy !req
495. He's trying to grow up.Copy !req
496. You deserted him in more
ways than one, you know.Copy !req
497. - Bob and I being together
doesn't mean I'm deserting Jack.Copy !req
498. - Really?Copy !req
499. I'll try telling him that.Copy !req
500. You were his hero.Copy !req
501. Life isn't as simple for
Jack as it is for you.Copy !req
502. - Annie, with all due respect,Copy !req
503. you have know idea
what's simple for me.Copy !req
504. - What do you want?Copy !req

509. - No, no, no.
- It's my chair.Copy !req
510. - No, no, I like that chair.Copy !req
511. Jack likes that chair.Copy !req
512. Take that chair.Copy !req
513. - That chair, I hate that chair.Copy !req
514. I've always hated that
chair, you know that.Copy !req
515. Couch?Copy !req
516. Watch, watch.Copy !req
517. - I got it,
I got it, I got it.Copy !req
518. - Okay?Copy !req
519. - Here, wait a minute.Copy !req
520. - One, two, three.Copy !req
521. Okay, here.Copy !req
522. - What?Copy !req
523. - Come on, it's better
to break up like that.Copy !req
524. - Oh please.Copy !req
525. - Do you remember how we met?Copy !req
526. - Yeah, summer camp, I
was nine, you were seven.Copy !req
527. - Come on, seriously.Copy !req
528. Anne, Annie.Copy !req
529. - No, I remember.Copy !req
530. Here, here.Copy !req
531. You spilled coffee in my
book and lied about it.Copy !req
532. - I didn't lie.Copy !req
533. It was an accident.Copy !req
534. I was nervous.Copy !req
535. I was so in love with you.Copy !req
536. - This is yours.Copy !req
537. - Annie, I need you
to know something.Copy !req
538. This has nothing to do with you.Copy !req
539. - This has everything
to do with me.Copy !req
540. - It's my life, and
you messed it up.Copy !req
541. No, no, no,Copy !req
542. no, you don't get to do that.Copy !req
543. You don't dump on somebody
and then comfort them.Copy !req
544. It's just against the rules.Copy !req
545. - Appreciate your
helping out with Jack.Copy !req
546. I know it's not easy.Copy !req
547. - It's worse than that.Copy !req
548. I keep defending you,Copy !req
549. and all I wanna do
is strangle you.Copy !req
550. - Hi, Jack.Copy !req
551. I came by to pick up a few
things for the apartment.Copy !req
552. Look, I know you don't
wanna spend time with meCopy !req
553. right now, so,
instead of dinner,Copy !req
554. I thought maybe we
could go bowling.Copy !req
555. You know, a group
activity might be better.Copy !req
556. - No thanks.Copy !req
557. - We can bring Max if you want.Copy !req
558. There's also somebody I'd
like to introduce you too.Copy !req
559. The daughter of a friend
mine, Maggie Rogers.Copy !req
560. - The Maggie Rogers?Copy !req
561. - Well, I don't know if
it's The Maggie Rogers.Copy !req
562. But I think she
goes to your school.Copy !req
563. Anyway, I thought we'd
bowl a few rounds.Copy !req
564. - Okay.Copy !req
565. And it's games, you
bowl games, not rounds.Copy !req
566. - As
much as I hated the ideaCopy !req
567. of being around my
father and the Bob,Copy !req
568. it was Maggie that
made me do it.Copy !req
569. - Hey, Jack.Copy !req
570. - Hey.Copy !req
571. - Max.Copy !req
572. Five and a half, please.Copy !req
573. - Full sizes only.Copy !req
574. - Okay, six.Copy !req
575. - No sixes.Copy !req
576. Make it a seven.Copy !req
577. - The minute
I saw her, I turned green.Copy !req
578. The only thing missing was
the yearbook photographer.Copy !req
579. - What size for you?Copy !req
580. - Oh, I bowl in socks,
it gives me more slide.Copy !req
581. - Right.Copy !req
582. - So are you like
alone here or what?Copy !req
583. - No, that's my father.Copy !req
584. - Who's the other guy?Copy !req
585. - Why did I bring you?Copy !req
586. - Because you like me,
you like me very much.Copy !req
587. Okay, everyone, let's
take a practice roundCopy !req
588. and then we'll start.Copy !req
589. - Burpa, that's what
they call him, Max Burpa.Copy !req
590. - That's my girl.Copy !req
591. Go, Maggie, yeah.Copy !req
592. - Okay, Jack, you're up.Copy !req
593. - Way to go, Jack, make
potholes, confuse everyone.Copy !req
594. - Jack, next time try to
keep your wrist straight.Copy !req
595. - Bob, no advice, thanks.Copy !req
596. - Isn't Maggie great?Copy !req
597. - Great is an understatement.Copy !req
598. - You've already
had a hot dog, nachosCopy !req
599. and a soda, and what else?Copy !req
600. - I don't know, some Tootsie
Rolls, if you're counting.Copy !req
601. I can definitely
go for ice cream.Copy !req
602. Speaking of which,
guess who's here.Copy !req
603. - No idea.Copy !req
604. - Okay, I'll rephrase.Copy !req
605. For $200, guess which
one of our schoolmatesCopy !req
606. bowls in a league.Copy !req
607. - Eddie Hayes?Copy !req
608. No way, that's so queer.Copy !req
609. He's in a league?Copy !req
610. - Hey, we're going to the opera.Copy !req
611. - Well, what
are you seeing?Copy !req
612. - Carmen.
- Carmen.Copy !req
613. - How'd you get tickets?Copy !req
614. I thought it was sold out.Copy !req
615. - It was, but you
know John when heCopy !req
616. sets his mind to something.Copy !req
617. - Do you have a medical problem?Copy !req
618. - Hmm?Copy !req
619. - You know, they have drugs
for people who are hyper.Copy !req
620. - Yeah, you see, they
thought he was hyperCopy !req
621. but the tests came back normal.Copy !req
622. - Maybe they should
get him tested again.Copy !req
623. - I am taking Jim to
Provincetown for Memorial Day.Copy !req
624. - Why?Copy !req
625. - He's never been.Copy !req
626. - Never?Copy !req
627. - I was
remembering the first timeCopy !req
628. I met the Bob.Copy !req
629. About nine months
after he moved out,Copy !req
630. my dad and I were going
on one of our adventures,Copy !req
631. a boat trip to St.
Michael's Island,Copy !req
632. and my dad asked if he
could bring a friend.Copy !req
633. Had I known then what I
know now, I woulda said no.Copy !req
634. - Okay, anybody have any
shoes they haven't returned.Copy !req
635. - Yeah.Copy !req
636. - I took
mine back already.Copy !req
637. - Okay, I'll see
you guys at the car.Copy !req
638. - See you, guys.
- See you outside.Copy !req
639. - Oh my God.Copy !req
640. - Oh, gross.Copy !req
641. - Am I seeing what
I think I'm seeing?Copy !req
642. - Gross, totally gross.Copy !req
643. - Okay, was that artificial
respiration or something?Copy !req
644. Was there a reason for
that, can you tell me?Copy !req
645. - Shut
up, just shut up.Copy !req
646. Can you ever just not talk?Copy !req
647. - He kissed the guy
right on the mouth, okay.Copy !req
648. Not on the cheek.Copy !req
649. - Why do they have to
make out in public?Copy !req
650. Do your parents
make out in public?Copy !req
651. - No, no, actually my parents
avoid touching at all times.Copy !req
652. - This was
the beginning of the end.Copy !req
653. - Look, it's nothing to
go insane about, okay?Copy !req
654. - You can use my locker
til it wears off.Copy !req
655. - It's goddam
black magic marker.Copy !req
656. It's permanent, it
doesn't wear off.Copy !req
657. Did you do this?Copy !req
658. - No, I didn't do it.Copy !req
659. But maybe I accidentallyCopy !req
660. mentioned a bit about two guys
kissing to a couple people.Copy !req
661. Well, it freaked me out, okay?Copy !req
662. I'm over it now.Copy !req
663. I mean I get it, it's a
disease, okay, like a sickness.Copy !req
664. Same as guys who chop people up,Copy !req
665. put the pieces outta the house.Copy !req
666. - You're completely
mentally ill, you know that?Copy !req
667. No!Copy !req
668. Don't polish it.Copy !req
669. Charming, at this rate,
there will be a whole novelCopy !req
670. up there by the end of the year.Copy !req
671. - Talk to your
girlfriend, fag baby.Copy !req
672. - I don't know who
you think you are.Copy !req
673. I go bowling with you and
your rodent friend as a favor,Copy !req
674. and this is what happens?Copy !req
675. - What is what happens?Copy !req
676. I mean, I stupidly agree
to go bowling with youCopy !req
677. and your queer bait
father, and they writeCopy !req
678. fag baby on my locker.Copy !req
679. - Look, this is my life,Copy !req
680. and you and your friend
are like kamikazes.Copy !req
681. - I have no idea what
you're talking about.Copy !req
682. - Ask the rodent.Copy !req
683. - Okay, Maggie won't speak to
me and she says you know why.Copy !req
684. - There's been a small
letter-writing accident, okay.Copy !req
685. - What are you talking about?Copy !req
686. - Someone circulated
like a chain letterCopy !req
687. to the whole school
about the bowling alley.Copy !req
688. - Someone other than you?Copy !req
689. - Yeah.Copy !req
690. - Eddie Hayes?Copy !req
691. Okay, show me.Copy !req
692. $25 to the one who
first identifiesCopy !req
693. which beautiful babe and
star of the basketball courtCopy !req
694. I spotted last night
at a homosexual soireeCopy !req
695. at the local 10-pin Lanes.Copy !req
696. Post your answers on the
bulletin board in hall.Copy !req
697. Name names, and receive money.Copy !req
698. - Look, it'll be fine.Copy !req
699. Okay, no one's
gonna post anything.Copy !req
700. - They wrote fag
baby on my locker.Copy !req
701. You don't think they'll
write a name for money?Copy !req
702. - Yeah, well, they
should've written itCopy !req
703. on Maggie's locker, right,Copy !req
704. because her dad's
one of the fags.Copy !req
705. But she's too cool.Copy !req
706. - Oh, yeah, that makes
me feel a lot betterCopy !req
707. except for one little thing.Copy !req
708. Turns out my dad's a fag too.Copy !req
709. - What?Copy !req
710. - Shut up, shut up.Copy !req
711. I feel sick.Copy !req
712. - Don't worry, okay,

713. They're hard to digest.Copy !req
714. How do you know your dad is,Copy !req
715. you know, a fagola?Copy !req
716. - He told me, okay, in a canoe.Copy !req
717. And don't call him that.Copy !req
718. And if you tell anyone,
I'm gonna torture you,Copy !req
719. starting with your fingernails.Copy !req
720. - Okay, all right.Copy !req
721. - I have to go home.Copy !req
722. - You have a fever?Copy !req
723. You gonna faint?Copy !req
724. - No, I just, I've
had this before.Copy !req
725. I just need to call my mom.Copy !req
726. - Okay.Copy !req
727. - Hello.Copy !req
728. - Mrs. Stanford,
this is Miss Morgan.Copy !req
729. I'm the school nurse
at Rolling Hills.Copy !req
730. I have Jack here in the office,
and he's not feeling well.Copy !req
731. - Dizzy and nauseated.Copy !req
732. - Is he okay?Copy !req
733. - Shall I put him on?Copy !req
734. - You have to pick me up.Copy !req
735. - Are you really sick?Copy !req
736. - Right now, Mom, you

737. - Jack?Copy !req
738. - So shall we call this
a mental health moment?Copy !req
739. - Call it whatever you want.Copy !req
740. - I hate children.Copy !req
741. - Look, you can't
go home, all right.Copy !req
742. Don't leave me
alone in this place.Copy !req
743. - Yeah, you're right, I
don't need to go home.Copy !req
744. I can move, like
to another country.Copy !req
745. - So what if your dad's queer?Copy !req
746. I don't care.Copy !req
747. - He sleeps with Bob.Copy !req
748. They're lovers.Copy !req
749. - So?Copy !req
750. I sleep with my dog.Copy !req
751. - It's not the same thing.Copy !req
752. - Can I ask you a question?Copy !req
753. - No.Copy !req
754. - What do you think they do?Copy !req
755. - Look, I don't know
and I don't wanna know.Copy !req
756. - Look, maybe it's
just a phase, okay.Copy !req
757. He hasn't tried to
make you queer, has he?Copy !req
758. - Max, it's not a phase, okay.Copy !req
759. And you can't make
a person queer.Copy !req
760. They either are or they aren't.Copy !req
761. - What's going on here?Copy !req
762. - I'm waiting for my mom.Copy !req
763. - And you?Copy !req
764. - Waiting for his mom.Copy !req
765. He's sick, I didn't
wanna leave him alone.Copy !req
766. In case he loses consciousness.Copy !req
767. - Five minutes from now, I
don't wanna see you here.Copy !req
768. - You all right?Copy !req
769. You got a sore throat?Copy !req
770. Did something happen?Copy !req
771. Your father called this morning.Copy !req
772. Next Wednesday, instead
of going out to dinner,Copy !req
773. he wants you to come
to the apartment.Copy !req
774. - No.Copy !req
775. - I told him you would.Copy !req
776. - Mom, I've had enough
of the whole Dad thing.Copy !req
777. I'm about two minutes
away from losing my mindCopy !req
778. because they wrote
fag baby on my locker.Copy !req
779. - Kids are idiots.Copy !req
780. Boy, you need a haircut.Copy !req
781. - Both hands on
the wheel please.Copy !req
782. - You have hair just
like your father's.Copy !req
783. No matter what you do to it,Copy !req
784. it wants to do something else.Copy !req
785. - No, Mom, I am
not like my father.Copy !req
786. There is nothing about me
that is like my father.Copy !req
787. I don't wanna have
dinner with him,Copy !req
788. or see his apartment,Copy !req
789. or spend quality time
with his boyfriend.Copy !req
790. Got it?Copy !req
791. - Maggie's gonna be there.Copy !req
792. - We're not speaking.Copy !req
793. - Jack, I know the
situation isn't easy.Copy !req
794. Sometimes you have to
wrestle with thingsCopy !req
795. to make them fit.Copy !req
796. Your father is not
something to be ashamed of.Copy !req
797. He realized things
weren't working out,Copy !req
798. and he did what he had to do.Copy !req
799. Sometimes people spend
their whole livesCopy !req
800. trying to figure out
what makes them happy.Copy !req
801. - So are you happy?Copy !req
802. - I might not be happy
even if I were happy.Copy !req
803. He took a risk.Copy !req
804. Maybe you should
be proud of him.Copy !req
805. - Oh come on, you don't even
believe what you just said.Copy !req
806. He wrecked everything.Copy !req
807. It's not okay.Copy !req
808. - I know.Copy !req
809. What do you say we
get some Ring Dings?Copy !req
810. - Hit her?Copy !req
811. - What?Copy !req
812. - Hit her.Copy !req
813. - Stop that.Copy !req
814. - I'm not talking to you.Copy !req
815. - Hi, I'm Anne, Jack's mom.Copy !req
816. - Hi, Maggie, Maggie Rogers.Copy !req
817. - Come on in.Copy !req
818. - Mom, hello?Copy !req
819. - I'm sorry I was harsh before.Copy !req
820. Max is a total rodent,
but, about the other stuff,Copy !req
821. the letters and the
locker, I'm sorry.Copy !req
822. - But why me, it was your
father that was kissing the guy.Copy !req
823. - I know, I overreacted
and I'm sorry.Copy !req
824. - Unfortunately, I'm sorry
doesn't remove magic marker.Copy !req
825. - I can't control everything.Copy !req
826. - So do your friends
know about your dad?Copy !req
827. Did he take you out in a
rowboat and confess too?Copy !req
828. - Nope.Copy !req
829. One day, there was just
some guy sleeping over.Copy !req
830. - Yeah, my dad moved
into the guestroom,Copy !req
831. and then he moved out.Copy !req
832. And I thought it was insomnia,Copy !req
833. because he always had insomnia.Copy !req
834. But one Saturday morning,
he just took all this stuffCopy !req
835. and started packing
it in Hefty bags.Copy !req
836. And all I kept saying was,
Are we going to the movies?Copy !req
837. Are we going to the movies?Copy !req
838. Because we always used to go
to the movies on Saturday.Copy !req
839. And I knew something
horrible was happening.Copy !req
840. I just didn't know what.Copy !req
841. - So, uh,Copy !req
842. is this gonna be
something special?Copy !req
843. - Yeah, it's gonna be a Zendo.Copy !req
844. - Cool, Zendo,
I've never seen oneCopy !req
845. in someone's backyard before.Copy !req
846. - You don't even
know what a Zendo is.Copy !req
847. - Yes I do.Copy !req
848. It's a place where people.Copy !req
849. It's a place where people, like,Copy !req
850. Jack, what do people
do in a Zendo?Copy !req
851. - They meditate.Copy !req
852. Yeah, it's a place
where people meditate.Copy !req
853. - Cool.Copy !req
854. - Yeah.Copy !req
855. So are you like the poster childCopy !req
856. for the well-adjusted
gay dad club?Copy !req
857. - It's not really
like I have a choice.Copy !req
858. Are you going to your dad's
house for dinner next week?Copy !req
859. - I don't know.Copy !req
860. - I'll go if you go.Copy !req
861. - Okay.Copy !req
862. Sure.Copy !req
863. - Do you wanna go to a movie?Copy !req
864. - Now?Copy !req
865. - No, like on
Friday or something.Copy !req
866. - Um, sure.Copy !req
867. Yeah, okay, I guess I could go.Copy !req
868. Do we dare be seen in public?Copy !req
869. - Don't worry, I'll protect you.Copy !req
870. Jack, you'll get used to it.Copy !req
871. I did.Copy !req
872. - No, I don't think I will.Copy !req
873. - Elaine, look,
can I call you back?Copy !req
874. Great, bye-bye.Copy !req
875. - I'm going, but
I'm not gonna eat.Copy !req
876. - Is that what you're wearing?Copy !req
877. - It's what I wear to school.Copy !req
878. - Don't you wanna get dressed upCopy !req
879. for your father and Maggie?Copy !req
880. - Maggie, yes, my father, no.Copy !req
881. - Hey, what about
meeting the Bob?Copy !req
882. - Mom, I already met the
Bob when we went bowlingCopy !req
883. and once a long time ago.Copy !req
884. - When a long time ago?Copy !req
885. - When we went to St.
Michael's Island with Dad.Copy !req
886. Bob came along.Copy !req
887. - Really, Bob was there?Copy !req
888. I thought they just met.Copy !req
889. - No, he's known
him for a while.Copy !req
890. So do I have to change?Copy !req
891. - I don't care, wear
whatever you want.Copy !req
892. - I
was at his apartment,Copy !req
893. and all I kept thinking
about was him being gayCopy !req
894. and this being the place that heCopy !req
895. and the Bob lived in together.Copy !req
896. I wanted to puke.Copy !req
897. That is, until I
thought about Maggie.Copy !req
898. - Hey, hi ya.Copy !req
899. Welcome.Copy !req
900. Dining room, Bob, Jack's here.Copy !req
901. That's the kitchen.Copy !req
902. Let me show you this room.Copy !req
903. With a view.Copy !req
904. Sofa looks pretty
good here, doesn't it?Copy !req
905. - Yeah, is that the
chair that used to beCopy !req
906. in the living room?Copy !req
907. - That's the chair that used
to be in the living room.Copy !req
908. That's the coffee
table that I built youCopy !req
909. when you were little.Copy !req
910. You've heard that story before.Copy !req
911. - Hi, Jack.Copy !req
912. - Nice slippers.Copy !req
913. - Oh, thanks, I picked
them up at an antique fair.Copy !req
914. I think they may have
belonged to Greta Garbo.Copy !req
915. At least that's what
the guy told me.Copy !req
916. I'll go check the oven.Copy !req
917. - Come on, I wanna
show you the view.Copy !req
918. Not bad, huh?Copy !req
919. Listen, Jack, I
was hoping I couldCopy !req
920. come to your game,
if that's okay.Copy !req
921. - Okay, where's Maggie?Copy !req
922. - She should be here any minute.Copy !req
923. There you go.Copy !req
924. - Hi, hi, hi.Copy !req
925. Come on in, Maggie.Copy !req
926. You look wonderful, John.Copy !req
927. Nice to see you.Copy !req
928. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
929. - Jack, we'll only be
able to stay a minute.Copy !req
930. - Hey, how are you?Copy !req
931. Hello, dear, how are you?Copy !req
932. Come in, come.Copy !req
933. - Dinner's just
about ready, guys.Copy !req
934. - Okay.Copy !req
935. - I'm not hungry,
I'd like to go home.Copy !req
936. - Bob worked very
hard on this dinner.Copy !req
937. You'll hurt his feelings.Copy !req
938. - I don't care
about his feelings.Copy !req
939. I don't even know him.Copy !req
940. I mean, shouldn't you care more
about my feelings than his?Copy !req
941. Didn't I come first?Copy !req
942. - You know I care
about your feelings.Copy !req
943. Then why are you
doing this to me?Copy !req
944. - I'm not doing anything to you.Copy !req
945. - Well then who are
you doing it to?Copy !req
946. - Jack, who I am,Copy !req
947. and who I loveCopy !req
948. is about me.Copy !req
949. It is not about you.Copy !req
950. - Well then how come they
call me fag baby at school?Copy !req
951. - Do you want me
to talk to them?Copy !req
952. - Like what, have
a school assembly?Copy !req
953. Okay, everybody, Jack's
father is here to talk aboutCopy !req
954. homosexuality and why we
shouldn't call his son fag baby.Copy !req
955. Come on.Copy !req
956. - Okay, you're right.Copy !req
957. You have every
right to be upset.Copy !req
958. Is there anything
I can do to help?Copy !req
959. - You can help me
by not being gay.Copy !req
960. - I wish I could do that, but I,Copy !req
961. you know, it would make
my life easier too.Copy !req
962. - Well then just do
it, do it for me.Copy !req
963. - I can't do that, Jack.Copy !req
964. - Then I'd like to go home.Copy !req
965. - Hey, dinner's ready.Copy !req
966. - Bob, Jack's not
feeling that well.Copy !req
967. I'm gonna drive him home.Copy !req
968. - Oh.Copy !req
969. - I feel fine.Copy !req
970. I just don't wanna be
here with the two of you.Copy !req
971. - You were incredibly
rude to Bob tonight.Copy !req
972. You know better than that.Copy !req
973. Wasn't right.Copy !req
974. - You go and do this thing
of yours, you find yourselfCopy !req
975. or whatever, and then, you
expect everybody to knockCopy !req
976. themselves out understanding it.Copy !req
977. None of that is right.Copy !req
978. - Jack.Copy !req
979. Jack.Copy !req
980. - What happened?Copy !req
981. - He's mad about me,
he's mad about Bob.Copy !req
982. I don't know what to do.Copy !req
983. - Can you blame him?Copy !req
984. - What happened to
my great defender?Copy !req
985. - She quit.Copy !req
986. - Hey, hi guys, where's Steve?Copy !req
987. - He's working late, new client.Copy !req
988. Hi, Michael, how's it going?Copy !req
989. - Oh, it goes and I go with it.Copy !req
990. - Why do I think
everyone's looking at me?Copy !req
991. - You may think that they
are all looking at you,Copy !req
992. but they are not.Copy !req
993. - I know, I know.Copy !req
994. Oh my God, he showed up.Copy !req
995. Hi.Copy !req
996. They're not gonna sit
with us, are they?Copy !req
997. - No, they're not
gonna sit with us.Copy !req
998. - It's your foot?Copy !req
999. - Yeah.Copy !req
1000. - Do you think
you can stand on it?Copy !req
1001. - I'm not sure.Copy !req
1002. - I'll have
to take a look.Copy !req
1003. - Ow, ow.Copy !req
1004. Life is funny.Copy !req
1005. One minute, I was running
to the cheers of the crowd,Copy !req
1006. and the next I was being
wheeled down a hallCopy !req
1007. on a gurney by my parents
and their boyfriends.Copy !req
1008. - You were playing beautifully.Copy !req
1009. - Who belongs to who?Copy !req
1010. We can't have a thousand
people back here,Copy !req
1011. immediate family only.Copy !req
1012. - We're the parents.Copy !req
1013. - Pick any two, the rest can
stay in the waiting room.Copy !req
1014. - Who's in charge here?Copy !req
1015. Well, there's, uh,
nothing broken,Copy !req
1016. but you do have a
very bad sprain.Copy !req
1017. I'd like to have an air
cast and crutches, please.Copy !req
1018. Now, I'd like you to keep
this elevated tonightCopy !req
1019. and all day tomorrow.Copy !req
1020. I want you to have ice on it
30 minutes out of every hour.Copy !req
1021. Any problems, give me a call.Copy !req
1022. - What about basketball?Copy !req
1023. - Well, I think you better
learn to walk before you run.Copy !req
1024. - Maybe we shouldn't have
all gone to the game.Copy !req
1025. Maybe it ruined
your concentration.Copy !req
1026. - It's not your fault.Copy !req
1027. My leg just got tangled with
the other guy's, that's it.Copy !req
1028. - Hey, kiddo, you got messages.Copy !req
1029. Your coach, Maggie, and Elaine.Copy !req
1030. She said she'll come over
during the day tomorrowCopy !req
1031. and hang out with you
while everyone's at work.Copy !req
1032. - Oh that's so nice.Copy !req
1033. She adores you.Copy !req
1034. She thinks you're very special.Copy !req
1035. - I am very special.Copy !req
1036. - I know, but it's nice when
someone else agrees with you.Copy !req
1037. - Mom?Copy !req
1038. - Mm?Copy !req
1039. - What's it mean when your
father picks a boring boyfriend?Copy !req
1040. - That he had a lapse
in judgment after us.Copy !req
1041. - That's what I thought.Copy !req
1042. - Enough?Copy !req
1043. - Thank you.Copy !req
1044. - You're welcome.Copy !req
1045. - You look very pale.Copy !req
1046. - I feel very pale.Copy !req
1047. - Do you want another pill?Copy !req
1048. - No thanks.Copy !req
1049. - If she
hadn't been Mrs. Burka,Copy !req
1050. Max's mother, I would
have asked her to do thatCopy !req
1051. to my whole body
for hours on end.Copy !req
1052. I wondered if she knew how
she was making me feel.Copy !req
1053. - That feels good.Copy !req
1054. - Well, I better run.Copy !req
1055. I told Steve I'd be
home, and you know howCopy !req
1056. he gets if everything
isn't perfect.Copy !req
1057. You rest a while longer, okay?Copy !req
1058. Your mom's gonna be home soon.Copy !req
1059. - Oh, hey.Copy !req
1060. - So, are you like down
for the count or what?Copy !req
1061. - Down, but not outCopy !req
1062. - Hey, well, I
brought you a present.Copy !req
1063. - Yeah, what, homework?Copy !req
1064. - Ta-da.Copy !req
1065. - Hi.Copy !req
1066. - Hi.Copy !req
1067. - I hope you're not out.Copy !req
1068. I'm really looking
forward to Friday.Copy !req
1069. I assume you're still free?Copy !req
1070. - Free but crippled.Copy !req
1071. - Well, what's happening Friday?Copy !req
1072. - We have a date.Copy !req
1073. - Really?Copy !req
1074. Well, uh, can I come?Copy !req
1075. - No, Max, because then
it wouldn't be a date.Copy !req
1076. - Anyways, I'm gonna be
late, piano lesson day.Copy !req
1077. - Did you see that?Copy !req
1078. She just kissed you.Copy !req
1079. That's like the second
time in recent history.Copy !req
1080. Well this is better than TV.Copy !req
1081. I'm watching you
go through puberty.Copy !req
1082. - So, uh, what do
you do in a Zendo?Copy !req
1083. Just sit and wait?Copy !req
1084. - No waiting, just sitting.Copy !req
1085. - And then what?Copy !req
1086. - Nothing.Copy !req
1087. - I don't get it.Copy !req
1088. - Well there's nothing
to get, nothing happens.Copy !req
1089. But if you do it enough,
you get yourself.Copy !req
1090. - Okay.Copy !req
1091. - So how many times
have you seen that film?Copy !req
1092. - Like two million.Copy !req
1093. - Yeah.Copy !req
1094. My dad used to take me to
the movies every Saturday.Copy !req
1095. - Mine did too, maybe it's likeCopy !req
1096. a gay dad thing or something.Copy !req
1097. I'm kidding.Copy !req
1098. - So is it better or
worse to be a girlCopy !req
1099. or a guy with a gay dad?Copy !req
1100. - I think it's worse for a guy.Copy !req
1101. It's more threatening or
something, I don't know.Copy !req
1102. - Yeah, I have to say,
when he first told me,Copy !req
1103. I kept thinking, Does
that mean I'm gay too?Copy !req
1104. - And now?Copy !req
1105. - Oh, now I'm sure I'm not gay.Copy !req
1106. So how come you never
talk about your mom?Copy !req
1107. - Because she's not around.Copy !req
1108. - Is she dead?Copy !req
1109. - No, she lives in Virginia.Copy !req
1110. Three years ago, she invited
me to come and visit,Copy !req
1111. and I remember I spent the
whole summer baby-sittingCopy !req
1112. her two new kids while she
went off with her friendsCopy !req
1113. and got her nails done.Copy !req
1114. She's got a new
life, a new husband,Copy !req
1115. and as far as she's concerned,
my dad and I are justCopy !req
1116. mistakes she made
a long time ago.Copy !req
1117. - But she's your mom, right?Copy !req
1118. - Yeah.Copy !req
1119. Then she got annoyed about
something, threw her stuffCopy !req
1120. in the back of a car and,Copy !req
1121. never came back.Copy !req
1122. - How old were you?Copy !req
1123. - Six.Copy !req
1124. And I remember, I
thought it was my fault,Copy !req
1125. like I thought I had
done something wrong.Copy !req
1126. - Yeah, I thought
I was too boring.Copy !req
1127. Good night.Copy !req
1128. - Can you get out?Copy !req
1129. - I can try.Copy !req
1130. - Thank you.Copy !req
1131. - Welcome.Copy !req
1132. - Hey.Copy !req
1133. - Sorry about that, we
just started talking.Copy !req
1134. - Oh, that's all right.Copy !req
1135. So you want me to drive
you guys somewhereCopy !req
1136. where you can make
out or something?Copy !req
1137. - Michael, it's our
first date, okay?Copy !req
1138. - Geez, kids today,
you're damned if you do,Copy !req
1139. damned if you don't.Copy !req
1140. - Sorry about that.Copy !req
1141. - Thank you.Copy !req
1142. - Thank you.Copy !req
1143. - You're welcome.Copy !req
1144. - So, um, I guess I'll
phone you tomorrow.Copy !req
1145. - Okay.Copy !req
1146. - Okay, thank you.Copy !req
1147. - Bye.Copy !req
1148. - Bye.Copy !req
1149. - So?Copy !req
1150. - Well, if I'd known
dating was that easy,Copy !req
1151. I woulda started
when I was like two.Copy !req
1152. We watched the film,
I held her hand,Copy !req
1153. and her hand was sweaty,
and my hand was sweaty,Copy !req
1154. and our sweat just
kind of mixed.Copy !req
1155. And then we had ice cream,Copy !req
1156. and the vanilla melted
with the chocolate, and,Copy !req
1157. it was all just
kind of fantastic.Copy !req
1158. - Yeah, I'll bet it was.Copy !req
1159. - You got enough warm clothes?Copy !req
1160. - Yeah.Copy !req
1161. - You got money?Copy !req
1162. - Yep.Copy !req
1163. - It was very nice of
Elaine to invite you.Copy !req
1164. - Yeah, I know, I'm
Max's entertainment.Copy !req
1165. - Have a good time.Copy !req
1166. - Bye.Copy !req
1167. - Bye.Copy !req
1168. - If someone could
read the signs,Copy !req
1169. we'd know where to get off.Copy !req
1170. - Steve, this is not my
fault, you're driving the car.Copy !req
1171. - That's what you say.Copy !req
1172. - Something
about Mr. Burka swervingCopy !req
1173. made me think of Mr. Bailey.Copy !req
1174. Swerving on a highway
was definitely notCopy !req
1175. a Mr. Bailey thing to do.Copy !req
1176. Made me think of him asking,
Had my parents crashed?Copy !req
1177. - Dinner with
Uncle Morris and Aunt MaryCopy !req
1178. is 7:30, and they're looking
forward to seeing you.Copy !req
1179. - Did they write
seeing you or soaking you?Copy !req
1180. Every time we go out
to dinner with them,Copy !req
1181. I have to pay the check.Copy !req
1182. - So just decide
that this time you won't.Copy !req
1183. - I grew
up on this lake.Copy !req
1184. I bet you didn't
know that, Jack.Copy !req
1185. Almost drowned in
this bad boy once.Copy !req
1186. - Every year,
he tells us aboutCopy !req
1187. how he almost drowned.Copy !req
1188. - You know,
it means somethingCopy !req
1189. to have a place to come back toCopy !req
1190. - People always feel the
need to confess on a lake.Copy !req
1191. I myself don't
like lakes anymore.Copy !req
1192. They're overrated.Copy !req
1193. - Boy, this is the life, huh?Copy !req
1194. Million miles away
from everything.Copy !req
1195. - Million years away.Copy !req
1196. - No littering please.Copy !req
1197. - Feeding the fish.Copy !req
1198. - Hey, Captain,
toss me those chips.Copy !req
1199. - What's a
lake made out of?Copy !req
1200. - Oh, a lake's
like a really big puddle.Copy !req
1201. - Well, what's a
mountain made out of?Copy !req
1202. - Mountain's
like a big rock.Copy !req
1203. - Do rocks grow?Copy !req
1204. - Only in your head.Copy !req
1205. - Max.Copy !req
1206. - Uh, could I have
some more ketchup?Copy !req
1207. - Hey, Honey, can I get
a refill here, thanks?Copy !req
1208. - Any time of day.Copy !req
1209. We've called him on emergencies.Copy !req
1210. - So, how goes it in the market?Copy !req
1211. Any tips?Copy !req
1212. - No tips.Copy !req
1213. Only top-secret insight
I'm not privy to share.Copy !req
1214. What do I owe you
for Mary and myself?Copy !req
1215. - It's okay, Morris,
we'll split it 50-50.Copy !req
1216. - But they've got
three extra people.Copy !req
1217. - In the morning, I want you
all to come down to the house,Copy !req
1218. and I'll make you up
a nice big breakfast.Copy !req
1219. - You know, I got this.Copy !req
1220. Whole, half, what's
the difference?Copy !req
1221. - What pleases you
pleases the court.Copy !req
1222. - Maybe next time, Morris.Copy !req
1223. - Sweetie, thank
you for everything.Copy !req
1224. - It's very
old-fashioned.Copy !req
1225. - Yeah, like prison.Copy !req
1226. - No, I like it.Copy !req
1227. - Well you
boys sleep well.Copy !req
1228. Is everything okay?Copy !req
1229. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1230. - Good night, Jack.Copy !req
1231. - Love you.Copy !req
1232. - What was that, I love you?Copy !req
1233. - I don't know, it
just kinda slipped out.Copy !req
1234. - Only top-secret
insight I am not privy to.Copy !req
1235. What an ass.Copy !req
1236. - Honey, you
could have split the check.Copy !req
1237. - What are
you always on me for?Copy !req
1238. This is my vacation.Copy !req
1239. Why can't I relax
for 10 seconds?Copy !req
1240. So what if I pick up the check?Copy !req
1241. - Well you're
the one who saidCopy !req
1242. you always getting soaked.Copy !req
1243. - Can't I complain
without you throwing it my face?Copy !req
1244. You know what,
no, you know what?Copy !req
1245. Maybe the problem is you.Copy !req
1246. - We should get pneumonia
not to hear them?Copy !req
1247. - Is this normal?Copy !req
1248. - It may not be normal, butCopy !req
1249. they do it all the time.Copy !req
1250. - I am so sick
of being criticized.Copy !req
1251. Not one thing I do is
right, according to you.Copy !req
1252. No no, shut up,
Elaine, just shut up!Copy !req
1253. - We can hear you!Copy !req
1254. - Even
the clanking of the fanCopy !req
1255. couldn't get their
voices outta my head.Copy !req
1256. I closed my eyes, trying
to think of something else,Copy !req
1257. anything else.Copy !req
1258. - I told you
he was sleeping.Copy !req
1259. - Pack up, we're outta here.Copy !req
1260. We're leaving, get up.Copy !req
1261. - Where are we going?Copy !req
1262. - Home.Copy !req
1263. My father beat up my mom, okay.Copy !req
1264. He hauled off and slugged her.Copy !req
1265. Well, my dad once threw a
box of donuts at my mom,Copy !req
1266. and they went flying everywhere.Copy !req
1267. - Pack, you idiot.Copy !req
1268. - Where's Dad?Copy !req
1269. - What an asshole.Copy !req
1270. This isn't the first
time, you know.Copy !req
1271. - I want my dad.Copy !req
1272. - Okay, so we have everything?Copy !req
1273. - Where's my dad?Copy !req
1274. - He went for a walk
with your uncle.Copy !req
1275. - I'll put the stuff in the car.Copy !req
1276. - Okay.Copy !req
1277. - It was
nothing like when my dadCopy !req
1278. threw the donuts, it
was 1,000 times worse.Copy !req
1279. Everything that had
happened to my familyCopy !req
1280. and everything that I'd
ever felt about the BurkasCopy !req
1281. or anyone else was spilling
out all over the place,Copy !req
1282. and I didn't know
how to stop it.Copy !req
1283. - Here, you boys go and get
yourself something, okay?Copy !req
1284. - I
had this image of myselfCopy !req
1285. as a grown-up, sitting
in the car with her,Copy !req
1286. while the kids
were in the store.Copy !req
1287. I guess I just didn't
think she should be alone.Copy !req
1288. I guess I wanted to protect her.Copy !req
1289. - Why don't you go on onside,Copy !req
1290. see if something
catches your eye?Copy !req
1291. - I don't know what to say.Copy !req
1292. - You don't have
to say anything.Copy !req
1293. - To place a
collect call, press two.Copy !req
1294. Please state your name.Copy !req
1295. - Jack.Copy !req
1296. We're not home right now,Copy !req
1297. but leave your name and
number, we'll call you back.Copy !req
1298. - Will
you accept charges?Copy !req
1299. - To place a
collect call, press two.Copy !req
1300. Please state your name.Copy !req
1301. - Jack.Copy !req
1302. - You have a
collect call from Jack.Copy !req
1303. Will you accept
charges, press one.Copy !req
1304. - Jack?Copy !req
1305. - Yeah, Dad, press one.Copy !req
1306. - Jack, hello.Copy !req
1307. - Dad?Copy !req
1308. - Jack?Copy !req
1309. Is everything all right?Copy !req
1310. - Mr. Burka hit Mrs. Burka.Copy !req
1311. - What do you mean, Jack?Copy !req
1312. - Hit her, you know, hit her,Copy !req
1313. like in a boxing match
only without a ring.Copy !req
1314. - Oh, is
Elaine all right?Copy !req
1315. - No, I mean,
she's driving but her faceCopy !req
1316. looks like a hamburger.Copy !req
1317. - I'll meet
you at the Burkas.Copy !req
1318. Just keep it together
until you get there, okay?Copy !req
1319. - Okay.Copy !req
1320. Dad?Copy !req
1321. - Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1322. - Promise you'll pick me up.Copy !req
1323. - I promise,
I'll be there.Copy !req
1324. - I
realized at that momentCopy !req
1325. that there were only
three people in the worldCopy !req
1326. that I could turn to.Copy !req
1327. Mrs. Burka, who couldn't
help anyone right now.Copy !req
1328. My mother, who wasn't home.Copy !req
1329. And my father, who was.Copy !req
1330. - Hey.Copy !req
1331. Did you guys get
everything you wanted?Copy !req
1332. - Yeah, yeah, we're
fine, let's just go.Copy !req
1333. - I got you a present.Copy !req
1334. - Thank you, Jack.Copy !req
1335. - How come he's here?Copy !req
1336. - Because I called him.Copy !req
1337. - What did you
do, send smoke signals?Copy !req
1338. - Are you all right?Copy !req
1339. - Yeah, I'm okay.Copy !req
1340. - Did you
call the police?Copy !req
1341. - He didn't mean it,
he just, he gets angry.Copy !req
1342. - Help them out with the bags.Copy !req
1343. Are you expecting him
back today or not?Copy !req
1344. - I don't know, I
think he's gonna stayCopy !req
1345. with his family for a few days.Copy !req
1346. - Come on, boys,
come on, come on.Copy !req
1347. - Come on, let's put
some ice on that.Copy !req
1348. Do you think anything's broken?Copy !req
1349. - No, it's.Copy !req
1350. - Are you sure?Copy !req
1351. - It's fine, it's
bruised, not broken.Copy !req
1352. - Listen, if you mention
one word of this to anyone,Copy !req
1353. I will have you taken care of.Copy !req
1354. - Taken care of?Copy !req
1355. - Yeah, I will kill you,
okay, I will have you killed.Copy !req
1356. - Max, hello, it's me, Jack.Copy !req
1357. Jack, your best friend.Copy !req
1358. Okay, first of all,
you're scaring me.Copy !req
1359. Second of all, you're
acting demented.Copy !req
1360. And third of all, if you
don't start acting nicerCopy !req
1361. to your own mom
I'm gonna kill you.Copy !req
1362. - I keep trying to imagine
Mr. Burka hitting Mrs. Burka.Copy !req
1363. And every time I come close
to the moment when somethingCopy !req
1364. bad happens, my
mind just freezes.Copy !req
1365. Mr. B hitting Mrs. B.Copy !req
1366. - Pretty scary.Copy !req
1367. - I imagine myself
older, bigger,Copy !req
1368. blocking at Mr. Burka's
punch with one arm,Copy !req
1369. knocking him out with the other.Copy !req
1370. - Hey, Max.Copy !req
1371. - Hey.Copy !req
1372. - How's your mom doing?Copy !req
1373. - She looks like she got
her face put in a Cuisinart.Copy !req
1374. - Look, Bob and I are having
some people over next SaturdayCopy !req
1375. for brunch, why
don't you two come?Copy !req
1376. - Look, I may have called you,Copy !req
1377. but I still don't wanna
hang out with you.Copy !req
1378. - Oh, I know you don't
wanna hang out with me.Copy !req
1379. But Maggie Rogers
was coming, so.Copy !req
1380. - Sure, for how
long, five minutes?Copy !req
1381. - No, for the whole thing.Copy !req
1382. - That's not fair.Copy !req
1383. Come on, that's
flat-out bribery.Copy !req
1384. You know I'm weak
when it comes to her.Copy !req
1385. - So, are you coming or not?Copy !req
1386. - Yeah.Copy !req
1387. - Good.Copy !req
1388. Max, you, little football?Copy !req
1389. Come on, here we go.Copy !req
1390. - No, my leg, can't.Copy !req
1391. - Okay, come on.Copy !req
1392. Gannon, to Rice.Copy !req
1393. - What am I gonna do?Copy !req
1394. - You're gonna take care
of yourself for once.Copy !req
1395. That's what you're gonna do.Copy !req
1396. - What about the kids?Copy !req
1397. - The kids don't wanna
see you get hit anymore.Copy !req
1398. - Jack gave me this.Copy !req
1399. He just.Copy !req
1400. Anne, I'm so scared.Copy !req
1401. - You must be Jack.Copy !req
1402. You look just like your father.Copy !req
1403. How's school? I hear
so much about you.Copy !req
1404. - Um, actually I'm Max.Copy !req
1405. That's Jack right there.Copy !req
1406. - Let's go.Copy !req
1407. I think that woman who
cornered Max is Bob's shrink.Copy !req
1408. - I didn't know that
Bob had a shrink.Copy !req
1409. - Yeah, my Dad took me to
see him a couple times.Copy !req
1410. Did I mention that I
hate my dad's boyfriend?Copy !req
1411. Okay, he clips his toenails
and then he eats the pieces.Copy !req
1412. I caught him doing it when he
thought no one was looking.Copy !req
1413. Isn't that disgusting?Copy !req
1414. - Yeah.Copy !req
1415. - Ugh.Copy !req
1416. - Don't you wish your dad
would just find some girl,Copy !req
1417. get married and then
all this would stop?Copy !req
1418. - No, I'd be totally jealous.Copy !req
1419. - Oh.Copy !req
1420. So, can I kiss you?Copy !req
1421. - No.Copy !req
1422. - Why not?Copy !req
1423. - Because you kiss everyone.Copy !req
1424. - I do not.Copy !req
1425. - Come on, I saw you with Jenny.Copy !req
1426. - Yeah, but that was different.Copy !req
1427. - Oh.Copy !req
1428. - It was.Copy !req
1429. And besides, you kissed
me the other day,Copy !req
1430. so that's where I got the idea.Copy !req
1431. - Yeah, but you were injured.Copy !req
1432. And you've gotta wait
til you earn my trust,Copy !req
1433. and then you can kiss me.Copy !req
1434. - Okay.Copy !req
1435. - Okay.Copy !req
1436. - Yeah.Copy !req
1437. - Hey, do you think Max is okay?Copy !req
1438. - No.Copy !req
1439. - Max?Copy !req
1440. Max!Copy !req
1441. - What?Copy !req
1442. - Ew, are you stuck?Copy !req
1443. - No.Copy !req
1444. - Hey, are you okay?Copy !req
1445. Why are you throwing
up into a trash chuteCopy !req
1446. into a restroom like
a normal person?Copy !req
1447. - Um, can we get you some
seltzer or something?Copy !req
1448. - Yeah, that'd be great.Copy !req
1449. Why don't you go get it?Copy !req
1450. - Okay.Copy !req
1451. - What is wrong with you?Copy !req
1452. Okay, why do I feel like I'm
seeing tomorrow's headlines,Copy !req
1453. teenager dies at
homosexual brunch?Copy !req
1454. This is totally pathetic, Max.Copy !req
1455. Oh, what are you gonna
do, you're gonna hit me?Copy !req
1456. - Look, just leave
me alone, okay.Copy !req
1457. I'm not doing anything,
it's none of your business.Copy !req
1458. - Oh, it's none of my
business, and that's whyCopy !req
1459. you're doing it at
my dad's apartmentCopy !req
1460. instead of your
own goddam house.Copy !req
1461. - There's no one at my
house, asshole, remember?Copy !req
1462. - You're driving me crazy, Max.Copy !req
1463. - No, no no no, you're
driving me crazy.Copy !req
1464. - Okay, look, your
life is a complete messCopy !req
1465. but you don't have to
make it a bigger dramaCopy !req
1466. than it already is.Copy !req
1467. - Look who's talking,
okay, you have no idea.Copy !req
1468. Have you ever seen
your parents fight?Copy !req
1469. Huh?Copy !req
1470. Literally haul off
and punch each other?Copy !req
1471. If you ever heard the kinds
of things my parents sayCopy !req
1472. to each other, you'd die.Copy !req
1473. I mean, they hate
each other, okay.Copy !req
1474. And right now, I
hate both of them.Copy !req
1475. How do you think
that makes me feel?Copy !req
1476. - Look, Max, you're
not your father.Copy !req
1477. You're not your
mother, you're you.Copy !req
1478. And you have to take
care of yourself,Copy !req
1479. and you have to
protect yourself,Copy !req
1480. and you have to find
a way through this.Copy !req
1481. And, okay, you can't fix
it, but it doesn't meanCopy !req
1482. you should wreck
your own life either.Copy !req
1483. - This coming from someone
who hates his own father.Copy !req
1484. I'd trade my dad with
yours in a second.Copy !req
1485. - No, Max, you can't do that.Copy !req
1486. You don't trade one set
of problems for another.Copy !req
1487. - Who says?Copy !req
1488. What are you, the
pope or something?Copy !req
1489. - Okay, I don't know what to do.Copy !req
1490. Max, I don't know what to do.Copy !req
1491. Nothing I say is
the right thing,Copy !req
1492. and you're scaring me, okay.Copy !req
1493. I mean, I already watched
my whole family fall apart,Copy !req
1494. and the truth is is that
I thought your familyCopy !req
1495. was the perfect family.Copy !req
1496. Now look,Copy !req
1497. both our families are nuts.Copy !req
1498. God, it stinks in here.Copy !req
1499. - Sorry.Copy !req
1500. - Um, this is all I could find.Copy !req
1501. - He's completely drunk.Copy !req
1502. - Okay, Max, let's
take a little walk.Copy !req
1503. - Hello.Copy !req
1504. - Hi, Mom.Copy !req
1505. - Jack?Copy !req
1506. - Um, Max went a little
crazy at dad's party today.Copy !req
1507. I mean, everything's fine,
everything's under control.Copy !req
1508. But I think Max and I are
gonna stay here tonight.Copy !req
1509. - Do you want
me to come and get you?Copy !req
1510. I can be there in two minutes.Copy !req
1511. You sure you're not
being held hostage?Copy !req
1512. - No, Mom, everything's okay,Copy !req
1513. there's no hostage situation.Copy !req
1514. - Okay, bye.Copy !req
1515. - Bye.Copy !req
1516. - You know, Max is really
lucky to have you as a friend.Copy !req
1517. I spoke with Elaine.Copy !req
1518. She said Steve is getting help,Copy !req
1519. and they're going to therapy.Copy !req
1520. - Is he gonna move back in?Copy !req
1521. - Uh, don't know, but it is
never over until it is over.Copy !req
1522. - That's true.Copy !req
1523. Hey, Dad.Copy !req
1524. - Yeah.Copy !req
1525. - Do you remember when we went
to St. Michael's with Bob?Copy !req
1526. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1527. - Well, were you and
him together then?Copy !req
1528. - No, we were just friends then.Copy !req
1529. - Yeah, that's what I thought.Copy !req
1530. - We'll come back for that.Copy !req
1531. - Okay, let's try it
again, be careful.Copy !req
1532. - You know, we don't have
to do this in the rain.Copy !req
1533. I can wait and get my
license when I'm 30.Copy !req
1534. It's no problem.Copy !req
1535. - Okay great, come on,
let's go, cut the wheel.Copy !req
1536. Come on.Copy !req
1537. Cut.Copy !req
1538. Cut a little more.Copy !req
1539. Cut it more.Copy !req
1540. Look, you're doing fine.Copy !req
1541. - What happened?Copy !req
1542. - Did you do that on purpose?Copy !req
1543. - No, are you okay?Copy !req
1544. - Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.Copy !req
1545. Why don't we call it
a day today, okay?Copy !req
1546. - A car is not a
car, it's a machine.Copy !req
1547. - When you're ready,
I'd like to take youCopy !req
1548. for your driver's test.Copy !req
1549. - It's okay, Michael
said he would.Copy !req
1550. - I know, but I'd like
to, if you don't mind.Copy !req
1551. - Yeah, sure.Copy !req
1552. - Are you gonna hate me forever?Copy !req
1553. - I don't know.Copy !req
1554. - Hard to believe.Copy !req
1555. You are turning 16.Copy !req
1556. - Yeah, it kinda
creeps up on you.Copy !req
1557. - Yeah.Copy !req
1558. Maybe we should do
something special.Copy !req
1559. Do you remember when
we went to the circus?Copy !req
1560. - Yeah, I was six.Copy !req
1561. You took 10 of my friends,
we had front-row seats,Copy !req
1562. and then the lion bit
the head off the monkey,Copy !req
1563. and we all had nightmares
for about a week.Copy !req
1564. Well, Mom's baking a cake.Copy !req
1565. I think that should
be good enough.Copy !req
1566. - Okay.Copy !req
1567. - When
you're a kid, everyone makesCopy !req
1568. a big deal outta your birthday.Copy !req
1569. You get presents, your mom
brings cupcakes to your school.Copy !req
1570. It's like a national holiday.Copy !req
1571. The fact is, when you're
16, you're not 15 anymore.Copy !req
1572. You wake up, you look at
yourself, and there you are.Copy !req
1573. Your hopes, dreams and
fantasies starting right at you.Copy !req
1574. At a certain point, you stop
waiting for your life to begin.Copy !req
1575. You realize this is your
life, right here, right now.Copy !req
1576. Make of it what you
will, what you can.Copy !req
1577. - Hey.Copy !req
1578. - So what, when I graduate
is somebody gonna writeCopy !req
1579. fag baby grows up in big
letters on the school roof?Copy !req
1580. - Maybe?Copy !req
1581. Happy birthday.Copy !req
1582. - Thanks.Copy !req
1583. What is it, a pipe bomb, a gun?Copy !req
1584. - No.Copy !req
1585. - Okay.Copy !req
1586. Condoms?Copy !req
1587. You got me condoms
for my birthday?Copy !req
1588. - Yeah.Copy !req
1589. - Okay, well thanks
for thinking of meCopy !req
1590. in such a weirdly personal way.Copy !req
1591. I'll treasure them.Copy !req
1592. And then I'll use
them when I'm like 50Copy !req
1593. and married or something.Copy !req
1594. - So, your
papers are due next week.Copy !req
1595. And all papers are
due, no exceptions.Copy !req
1596. The thing about peopleCopy !req
1597. is that they're human.Copy !req
1598. As obvious as that is,
we have to remember it.Copy !req
1599. People are who they are.Copy !req
1600. And once you realize that,
you'll end up less disappointed.Copy !req
1601. And then sometimes
they'll surprise you.Copy !req
1602. - Jack, Jack?Copy !req
1603. Are you with us?Copy !req
1604. - Not really.Copy !req
1605. - So, uh, see your cake?Copy !req
1606. - Yeah, it's fantastic.Copy !req
1607. - I got these guys, but, uh,Copy !req
1608. I thought I better
ask you first.Copy !req
1609. - Do we actually have
to put them on the cake?Copy !req
1610. I just think I'm a little
too old for decorations.Copy !req
1611. - I think you're right.Copy !req
1612. - What is that?Copy !req
1613. - It's a Zendo.Copy !req
1614. - A Zendo.Copy !req
1615. - Yeah, a long story.Copy !req
1616. - It's a Zendo.Copy !req
1617. So, this is where
I had my garden.Copy !req
1618. And this is where I
used to play with Jack.Copy !req
1619. - It's not a historical
landmark, we still live here.Copy !req
1620. - I know, I know, I'm
just showing Bob around.Copy !req
1621. - Okay.Copy !req
1622. - Is Mom feeding the holly?Copy !req
1623. - I don't know.Copy !req
1624. - Anne.Copy !req
1625. - What?Copy !req
1626. - Are you
feeding the holly?Copy !req
1627. - Am I feeding the hungry?Copy !req
1628. - The holly.Copy !req
1629. - The holly, uh, yeah,Copy !req
1630. go ahead and do what you want.Copy !req
1631. Feed the holly,
clip the forsythia,Copy !req
1632. deadhead the roses, be my guest.Copy !req
1633. - She's not feeding the holly.Copy !req
1634. - Oh, who wants sprouts?Copy !req
1635. - Yes, please.Copy !req
1636. - Hi, Jack, sorry I'm late.Copy !req
1637. - Hi, Maggie.Copy !req
1638. That Maggie did that,Copy !req
1639. in front of everyone,
was rather impressive.Copy !req
1640. I was also hoping Mrs. Burka
was just a teeny bit jealous.Copy !req
1641. - Mom and I worked
together on that one.Copy !req
1642. - Thank you.Copy !req
1643. - Oh, it's beautiful.Copy !req
1644. Did you make that?Copy !req
1645. - I did.Copy !req
1646. - I bet you did.Copy !req
1647. - Thank you.Copy !req
1648. - Oh you're
welcome, I hope it fits.Copy !req
1649. - I have one, it'll fit.Copy !req
1650. - There we go.Copy !req
1651. - Here, open mine next.Copy !req
1652. That's my favorite.Copy !req
1653. - See?Copy !req
1654. Now I Know.Copy !req
1655. Thank you.Copy !req
1656. - You're welcome.Copy !req
1657. - I
wanted to thank everyone,Copy !req
1658. but really I didn't.Copy !req
1659. Because thank you is
such an overused word.Copy !req
1660. It means too many things,
and at the same time,Copy !req
1661. it means nothing.Copy !req
1662. But one thing I did knowCopy !req
1663. was that I wanted to
sit there until I becameCopy !req
1664. old enough to
understand my life.Copy !req
1665. - Well, I think
that went very well.Copy !req
1666. - Yes, well, nothing fell on
any one and no one choked,Copy !req

1679. and the Jack with
the gay dad and Bob,Copy !req
1680. and Michael and Max and Mrs. B.Copy !req

1698. I pushed through the pain.Copy !req
1699. As the crowd roared,
my leg didn't hurt.Copy !req
1700. Nothing hurt, my
mind was flowing.Copy !req
1701. I was Fast Jack, and
I knew I would make itCopy !req
