00:04Hey, Dad.
00:06On my way to work, thought I'd stop and say hi.
00:11Things are all good down here.
00:14I'm sure they're good up there, because, you know, heaven and such.
00:20Looked in on Mom and Missy yesterday.
00:22They're doing all right, considering your new address.
00:28Oh, get this.
00:30Had to ship a pack of underoos to Sheldon,
00:32because he couldn't find the Batman kind in Pasadena.
00:37What else?
00:39CC's amazing.
00:42Starting to stand up, trying to walk.
00:44How looks like you, after a case of beer.
00:48And Mandy, she's looking for a job as a TV reporter,
00:52which has been, let's just say, a hoot.
00:58Hey, how'd the interview go?
01:00It didn't.
01:02What's that mean?
01:02It means I put on control top pantyhose and I drove across town
01:06just to find out they hired some 22-year-old ditz.
01:08Guy ditz or girl ditz?
01:11What's a guy ditz?
01:12I don't know.
01:13Gilligan?
01:15Well, this one was a girl, and she only got the job because she's young and perky.
01:19You're perky.
01:20I'm young, too!
01:24Like I said, life is good.
01:27Got it all under control.
01:31Yeah.
01:33All under control.
01:35All under control.
02:06Morning.
02:07Morning.
02:08Given any more thought to carrying those new Korean tires?
02:11Oh, I appreciate the idea, but my dad fought in Korea.
02:14It just feels wrong.
02:16I'm pretty sure these are the good Koreans.
02:19Doesn't matter.
02:20I don't want to piss off the blimp guys.
02:22Hey!
02:23Quick question.
02:24Did you lock up last night?
02:25Yeah, why?
02:27Because these were in the door and all the lights were on.
02:30Oh, shoot.
02:31I'm so sorry.
02:33Was anything stolen?
02:34Thankfully, no, but you've got to be more careful.
02:36Of course.
02:37I was just rushing to pick up my sister because my mom had a church thing, and Missy didn't
02:41want to go to the church thing because she had a friend's thing, and they were fighting,
02:44and as you can imagine, it was a whole thing.
02:47I get it.
02:48Mistakes happen.
02:50You don't have to be nice to me just because I'm your son-in-law.
02:52I screwed up.
02:53Let me have it.
02:54I thought I was letting you have it.
02:57No.
02:57You're being nice.
02:58Oh.
02:59I'm sorry.
03:00Don't apologize.
03:02I should be apologizing to you.
03:03Well, you already did.
03:05Yeah, but then you were nice and runned it.
03:08Just open the store.
03:11Just open the store.
03:16Dumbass.
03:17Was that so horrible?
03:26So, I couldn't help overhearing you and Georgie arguing last night.
03:30You were eavesdropping?
03:32Eavesdropping is when you want to listen.
03:34Overhearing is when you have no choice.
03:38Couples fight.
03:39It's not a big deal.
03:40You ever heard your father and I raise our voices at one another?
03:43No.
03:44And do you know why?
03:45Because you squashed the life out of them?
03:49Because we're both adults.
03:51You married a child, Amanda.
03:53You cannot expect him to understand anything.
03:59It's not Georgie's fault.
04:00I'm just frustrated trying to find a job.
04:02You ever think instead of the TV news, you try the local paper?
04:06Look at this face.
04:07I'm on-camera talent.
04:10Mother, can I borrow your car?
04:12What?
04:12I need to drive to a music store in Houston to get a 12-AT-7 dual triad vacuum tube
04:17for my amp.
04:17I need my car.
04:19Does it have to be today?
04:20If I wait too long, they might sell out.
04:22No one's buying weird vacuum tubes but you.
04:25You could only hear how foolish you sound.
04:29Here.
04:30I can run my errands tomorrow.
04:38You know, instead of worrying about Georgie and me, you should worry about him.
04:42There's nothing wrong with your brother.
04:44Mom.
04:45Nothing!
04:51Hey.
04:52Hey.
04:53What you doing?
04:55Shocks.
04:56Cool.
04:58You ever worry you'll get crushed under here?
05:01You got some place to be?
05:03Something to do?
05:04Not really.
05:05No.
05:06All right.
05:07Well, make yourself useful.
05:08Sure.
05:09Happy to.
05:09Come here.
05:10Okay.
05:12Hold this.
05:13What is it?
05:15Transmission fluid recirculator.
05:17Got it.
05:18Do not let go.
05:20Why?
05:20What'll happen?
05:21Bad things.
05:22Very bad things.
05:25Where are you going?
05:26Be right back.
05:27Okey-doke.
05:38Hello?
05:40Anybody?
05:42Ruben!
05:46Georgie.
05:47Sister's on the phone.
05:48Don't have to call her back.
05:50What are you doing?
05:51I'm holding the transmission fluid recirculator.
05:54The what?
05:56Ruben said if I let it fall, bad things will happen.
06:01Missy, hang on a sec.
06:04Son, there is no such thing as a transmission fluid recirculator.
06:08And what am I holding?
06:09I have no idea.
06:14Hey, everything okay?
06:16I need you to pick me up at school.
06:17I'm working.
06:18Why can't Mom do it?
06:20Because I don't want her to know I got suspended.
06:23Oh, Missy.
06:24Hold on.
06:25That wouldn't be very nice.
06:30What'd you do?
06:31It's not that big a deal.
06:32Getting suspended's a big deal.
06:34Are you coming or not?
06:35I can't just drop everything.
06:37I have a job.
06:38Forget it.
06:38I'll hitch.
06:40If I never see you again, don't blame yourself.
06:42I'm on my way.
06:53Let's go.
06:56What were you thinking?
06:57I was thinking I didn't want to take the test.
06:59So cut class.
07:01Don't pull a fire alarm.
07:02Next time I'll know better.
07:04No next time.
07:05And how do you think you're going to keep this from Mom?
07:08Easy.
07:08I pretend I go to school in the morning and pretend I come home in the afternoon.
07:11The school's going to call the house.
07:13No problem.
07:15Hi, this is Mary Cooper.
07:16Jesus loves you.
07:18What'd she do?
07:19Don't you worry.
07:20I will pray the devil right out of that rascal.
07:25That's not going to work.
07:26It didn't last time.
07:27I got suspended.
07:28Come on.
07:29You've got a good head on your shoulders.
07:31Why don't you try using it?
07:32Listen to you.
07:33You sound like Dad.
07:34Well, you know, genetics.
07:37What?
07:38That's what the test was on.
07:39Genetics.
07:44What are you taking a tumble for?
07:46My stomach.
07:48What's wrong with your stomach?
07:49Nothing.
07:50Just ate something that ain't sitting right.
07:51You should try smoking weed.
07:53You're smoking pot now?
07:54Why?
07:55You got some?
07:56No.
07:57You want some?
08:04Well, here's an idea.
08:05How about you take some night classes, brush up on your computer skills, and get a nice,
08:08cushy office job?
08:09Office job?
08:10Why did I spend six years getting a degree in communications?
08:13I asked that question for six years.
08:16Well, I'm not giving up on my dream.
08:18No one's saying that.
08:20I am.
08:22Good news.
08:23Got the vacuum tube.
08:25Oh, that's great, honey.
08:26The owner of the store was a roadie for Bob Seger.
08:29He's got a cat named Night Moves.
08:31She had a lot of nipples.
08:34That's a weird thing to say.
08:36It was a weird thing to see.
08:40You're still pretending he's fine?
08:42He is fine.
08:43He just has a unique view of the world.
08:46Right, Jim?
08:48Unique is the word we agreed to use.
08:52Hey, sorry I'm late.
08:54Let me get your bowl.
08:55Oh, thanks.
08:57Everything okay with your sister?
08:58Yeah, just some girl stuff.
09:00I handled it.
09:01Why is she calling you about girl stuff?
09:02Why wouldn't she?
09:03I'm married to a girl.
09:04I have a daughter.
09:06I know you.
09:10So, she's all right?
09:11Oh, yeah.
09:12You know teenagers.
09:13She should.
09:14She married one.
09:17So, how was your day?
09:19Any luck on the job front?
09:21No, but I'm thinking about expanding my search to Houston, maybe Dallas.
09:26Wait, so we're moving?
09:28I don't know.
09:28Maybe if I can land a good job.
09:30What about my job?
09:31Don't I have a say in this?
09:32Of course you do.
09:33Good.
09:34Because Medford's my home.
09:35This is where my family is.
09:37What, so you're saying you'll never leave?
09:38No.
09:39I don't know.
09:39This is just coming out of left field.
09:41I thought you'd be more supportive of Amanda's career.
09:44This was your idea, wasn't it?
09:46No.
09:47You're always meddling.
09:48Mind your own business for once.
09:49Georgie, calm down.
09:50I was calm until I came home and found out we're moving.
09:52That's not what's happening.
09:54You're damn right that's not what's happening.
09:55All right.
09:56Let's all just take a deep breath.
09:58I'm out of here.
09:59Good.
10:00Go.
10:07Beep.
10:23What the hell?
10:30Excuse me.
10:31I think I'm having a heart attack.
10:39Good news.
10:41Your heart is fine.
10:43You sure?
10:44Didn't feel fine.
10:45Most likely you had a panic attack.
10:48That don't sound right.
10:49Well, they can present like a heart attack.
10:52You know, chest pain, shortness of breath.
10:53Well, I did eat a whole bottle of Tom's.
10:55Maybe it's Tom poisoning.
10:57You under a lot of stress?
10:59I guess.
11:00Nothing I can't handle.
11:01Well, high levels of anxiety can produce physical symptoms.
11:05Anxiety?
11:06Please.
11:06That's just some New York nonsense.
11:09Trust me.
11:10Even Texans can suffer from it.
11:12Maybe them hippies in Austin.
11:14Not here.
11:18Gotta tell you, I'm worried about Georgie.
11:21What about me?
11:22I'm the one who got yelled at.
11:24Well, I'm always worried about you.
11:27You lying dog.
11:29Look, I know the kid lost his temper, but that is not his nature.
11:33Whose side are you on?
11:36There's no sides.
11:37Of course there are.
11:39That's all a marriage is.
11:41Warfare.
11:43Well, he's got a lot on his plate, and I feel for him.
11:47You feel for him?
11:48Yeah.
11:50At the risk of being a broken record, there's no way this marriage lasts.
11:55And I say the sooner it ends, the better.
11:57Oh, you don't know that.
12:00Your dad hated me.
12:02I'm still here.
12:04My dad hated your long hair.
12:07Well.
12:11All I'm saying is the kid is more on the ball than you think.
12:13You know, he's been trying to get me to sell Korean tires.
12:16Korean tires?
12:17They're actually pretty good.
12:19So why don't we sell them?
12:21We just don't.
12:24Jim?
12:26My good year sales rep promised me a ride on the blimp.
12:34Missy, it's Mandy.
12:36Hey.
12:36Hey, is Georgie over there?
12:38No.
12:39Why?
12:40Oh, I just thought maybe he stopped by.
12:42Y'all have a fight?
12:44No.
12:44Don't be silly.
12:46So, uh, what happened with you at school today?
12:48Don't change the subject.
12:49What are you fighting about?
12:52There's no fight.
12:52It's just two adults seeing things different.
12:56And then arguing about it till one runs away?
12:59Yeah.
13:01I ran away a lot as a kid.
13:03He'll grow out of it.
13:06Thanks.
13:07So, what's going on with the school thing?
13:10Oh, that.
13:11Pfft.
13:12Nothing.
13:13Okay, well, if you want to talk, I'm here.
13:17Fine.
13:19I've been falling behind at school.
13:21Oh, Georgie's home.
13:22Gotta go.
13:27Hey.
13:27Hey, where were you?
13:29Just driving around.
13:31Till 11 o'clock?
13:32I'm sorry.
13:34Georgie, what's going on?
13:35I don't want you to worry.
13:36You can't tell somebody not to worry and expect them not to worry.
13:39They're gonna worry.
13:40Okay, fine.
13:42After I left, I started having some chest pain, so I went to the hospital.
13:46Oh, my God!
13:47See?
13:47Now you're worried.
13:49Well, of course I'm worried.
13:51It wasn't a heart attack.
13:52Okay, then, what was it?
13:54The doctor said it's just anxiety, a panic attack, but what does he know?
13:59You do have a lot going on.
14:01No, I don't.
14:03Georgie.
14:04I'm fine.
14:05You just lost your dad.
14:07You got a brand new baby.
14:08Your sister's struggling.
14:10An unemployed wife.
14:11You got no money.
14:12Okay, okay.
14:14And my mom.
14:17Put it that way, it's a miracle I'm still alive.
14:20So, maybe cut yourself some slack.
14:23Easier said than done.
14:26Is there anything I can do to help?
14:29Doctor said for sure your heart's okay?
14:32Yeah.
14:34Wanna go find out?
14:44Good morning.
14:46Good morning.
14:48Mrs. McAllister, I owe you an apology.
14:51I was out of line.
14:52Let's just forget it ever happened and have a nice breakfast.
14:56You told them, didn't you?
14:59I just wanted everybody to take it easy on you.
15:01Well, that's what families do, Georgie.
15:04We support one another.
15:06Wow, you suck at this.
15:08Son, don't feel bad.
15:10Lots of guys struggle with emotional stuff.
15:13Ever happen to you?
15:14Sure.
15:15What do you do?
15:16I find what's most helpful is eating healthy and exercise.
15:23Dad.
15:25You want the truth?
15:28Because it's dark.
15:30Well, thanks for your concern, but I'm fine.
15:34Have a wonderful day!
15:36Please stop.
15:42I may not have been completely honest about having everything under control.
15:48Truth is, I'm flying by the seat of my pants, and my pants are on fire.
15:54I'm stressed out all the time.
15:59How'd you do it?
16:00How'd you make it look so easy?
16:04Fine.
16:05Don't tell me.
16:09Okay.
16:10I should go.
16:14This was good.
16:16Thanks for listening.
16:21Hey, maybe you can ask the big guy to keep an eye on your daughter, send an angel, get
16:25her in the army, something.
16:26Hurry!
16:35This is weird.
16:36Just talk to her.
16:37I really think you'll feel better.
16:38I think I'll feel stupid.
16:40Hey, I didn't tell Mom about you getting suspended.
16:43The least you can do is tell Dad.
16:46Fine.
16:50Hey, Dad.
16:52Look who I brought.
16:55It's missing, in case you can only hear.
16:58How about it?
17:00Not with you listening.
17:02Rock.
17:08Hi, Dad.
17:09There's some stuff I should tell you.
17:12For starters, I'm pregnant, and my math teacher is the father.
17:15What?
17:16I knew you were listening!
17:18Sorry.
17:23I'm not pregnant.
17:25I just got suspended.
17:27Mom doesn't know.
17:28She thinks I'm in school right now.
17:38You're gone.
17:39Sheldon gone.
17:40I'm alone a lot.
17:43It's way easier to get away with stuff.
17:48And it kind of sucks.
17:55I really miss you.
18:02Feel better?
18:03No, you jerk!
18:17Have a great day.
