13:18Ah, come on, honey, get off my back here, okay?
13:20I'm not gonna sell that bike.
13:23No!
13:24No, I'm serious, I'm not gonna get rid of it.
13:29Okay, okay, okay, okay, well, just let me finish, all right?
13:35I'm a guy, I got two feet, and I'm putting one down now.
13:44Come on.
13:47Honey, you think the Lone Ranger would sell Trigger?
13:51All right, I know it's not Trigger, it's, uh, you're messing with my mind, Cheryl.
14:00Now, listen, honey, I've been driving that bike since 1984.
14:05I mean, it means so much to me.
14:07It means it's as much a part of my life as the washer and dryer is to you.
14:11It took me to kindergarten, and when I got into the room, I realized it wasn't really underwear day.
14:30Dana, why are you reading while Andy's sharing his feelings?
14:39Because no one in my building gets this magazine.
14:44Andy, how does that make you feel?
14:46Makes me a little, you know, mad.
14:50Well, tell Dana.
14:53Dana, please put down the magazine.
14:55You know what?
15:00You're a jerk.
15:05What?
15:05You heard me.
15:07You're a mean, self-centered jerk.
15:10Oh, jeez, Andy.
15:35Oh, very, very good.
15:38Okay, you guys ready?
15:39Here's another one.
15:40Look, I'm an elephant.
15:44This is how I walk.
15:47Oh, stampede!
15:51Stampede!
15:53Okay, Cheryl, it's done.
15:55The bike is up on its stand.
15:57I drained the gas and the oil, and I covered her up.
16:00Oh.
16:00The only problem is I just can't find the keys.
16:03Oh.
16:04All right, here's the keys.
16:06Back.
16:07Oh, honey, thank you.
16:11I know how hard that was for you, and I really appreciate it.
16:15All right.
16:16More, Mommy.
16:18Do another.
16:19Oh, oh, oh, I have one.
16:22Look, I'm a daddy, and this is how I walk.
16:26Oh, very good.
16:31Oh, very funny.
16:33Oh, very funny.
16:34I don't do that.
16:35I do other things, too.
16:37When?
16:38All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
16:39Let's do, look, I'm a mommy.
16:41This is how I walk.
16:42Oh.
16:42Ah, it's sweet, honey.
16:45I'll see.
16:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:55Okay, okay.
16:57Look, I'm a birdie, and this is how I walk.
17:01Birdies don't walk, they fly.
17:03Do it.
17:03No, no, no, no, no, Ruby, honey.
17:08You look, I'm a mommy.
17:09Come on, do that again.
17:11Ruby, sweetie, we're doing birdies now.
17:14Birdies!
17:16What's this, honey?
17:18I'm mommy smoking a cigarette.
17:21You are?
17:24Look, I'm a hypocrite.
17:27Smokey, smokey, smokey.
17:32Keys, please.
17:33You girls play good.
17:52Hey, sweetie.
17:58Honey, you know how you saw mommy smoking?
18:02Mm-hmm.
18:04And I know that you know that smoking is bad, and what mommy did was wrong, right?
18:12Well, mommy is not very proud of herself.
18:17Why?
18:17Because sometimes mommies do things that aren't very smart.
18:28And sometimes daddies do things that aren't very smart.
18:33Why?
18:34Because they have the emotional maturity of a six-year-old.
18:37You know how you love jawbreakers.
18:45Yeah, but you know they're not good for you because they can break your teeth.
18:51And even though we told you you couldn't have them anymore, we found that one under your pillow?
18:59That wasn't mine.
19:01Okay, Ruby.
19:01Do you know who really hates smoking?
19:13Who?
19:13Who?
19:13Who?
19:14Who?
19:14Who?
19:14The Surgeon General.
19:17Who?
19:19Santa.
19:20Hey, Cheryl.
19:25You know, I wanted to ask you that smoked ham we had last night.
19:41Was it regular ham when you bought it?
19:46You know, sweetie, I can quit smoking, but you'll always be an ass.
19:54Jeez, you smoke with that mouth?
19:58Not anymore.
19:59I am done.
20:01Good.
20:01Yeah.
20:02How about you?
20:03I don't smoke.
20:07The bike?
20:08Yeah.
20:11Honey, you fell in love with the guy who rode a motorcycle.
20:15You thought he was sexy.
20:17Yeah.
20:17Well, now I think it's sexy when you come home in one piece.
20:21All right.
20:22All right.
20:23Here's the deal.
20:24I won't ride the bike anymore, but I'm not going to sell it either.
20:29Occasionally, I'll go in the garage and sit on it.
20:32And go, vroom, vroom.
20:38That is none of your business.
20:41Hey, wait a minute.
20:48What if there's a special occasion where, you know, you need to ride a motorcycle?
20:53Like what?
20:54You know, like a neighborhood parade.
20:58We don't have a neighborhood parade.
21:02I know, but someone might start one.
21:05You know what?
21:06If we have a neighborhood parade, then you can ride your bike and I'll sit on the back smoking.
21:13It'll be our little float.
21:18Honey, do you think we have too many rules?
21:20I don't know, baby.
21:23What do you think?
21:24Well, I don't want our girls to grow up thinking that they can't express themselves.
21:28You know, that it's not okay to break a rule every once in a while.
21:35Oh, I think they're going to be just fine, baby.
21:38Well, you weren't sure if you were coming.
21:59I wasn't either.
22:03Andy, I don't know if things are going to be any different, but you make me want to be a better sister.
22:13Shut up.
22:15You had me at I wasn't either.
22:17Here, I got you a cake with a flower on it.
22:25Oh, Dana, it was never really about the flowers, just me needing you to accept me for who I am.
22:33That's all.
22:34Well, I thought about some of the things you said, and if you need me to change, I'm willing to make the effort.
22:43Thanks, Dana.
22:47Where's the flower?
22:51I ate it!
22:55What?
22:55You ate the flower?
22:57You did it again?
22:59It looked good!
23:02What's the sense of giving me a cake with a flower on it if you're going to go ahead and eat the flower?
23:07You said it wasn't about the flower, you psycho!
23:09You're the psycho!
23:10I'm the psycho!
23:11Yes, you're the...
23:17A-A-A-A...
