1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,440
Got your homework done?

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,120
- All of it?
- Yep.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,280
Attaboy.
You just get to kick back this weekend.

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,240
That's my plan.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Except...?

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Except nothing.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:16,920
Well, excuse me.

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,960
- Oh, yeah.
- There it is.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,040
I might have to write
a book report for Monday.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,080
What do you mean you might have to?

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,200
If there's no earthquake
by Monday morning...

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,800
...I have to write a book report.

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,200
Oh, God. So, what's the book?

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,680
<i>William Shakespeare's
The Taming Of The Shrew.</i>

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,840
By William Shakespeare.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,960
That'll come in handy when he's mopping
out the toilets at the House of Pancakes.

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,160
You know,
I could go for some pancakes.

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,200
Jake, please tell me you read the book.

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,160
I really wish I could, Dad.

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,280
I was gonna read it, but I can't find it.

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,640
You lost the book?

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,640
What do you intend to do
about the report?

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,679
You mean aside from the earthquake?

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,159
Yeah.

25
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,439
Well, I kind of put all my eggs
in the earthquake basket.

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Get dressed. We're going to the store.

27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,360
- Well, can we stop for pancakes?
- Go.

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,520
I bet you're sorry you took
all that LSD before you had him.

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,879
I never took any LSD.

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,759
You might wanna start
telling people you did.

31
00:01:31,121 --> 00:01:33,721
Unbelievable. You had four weeks
to write this book report.

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,921
Get over it, Dad.

33
00:01:36,961 --> 00:01:37,961
Yeah, Alan. Relax.

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
He'll have eight weeks
of summer school to do it.

35
00:01:41,081 --> 00:01:42,640
Unless there's an earthquake.

36
00:01:44,481 --> 00:01:47,641
Excuse me, could you tell me
where the classic literature section is?

37
00:01:47,801 --> 00:01:50,041
- Third floor near the restroom.
- Thank you.

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,921
Go ahead. I'm gonna look at magazines.

39
00:01:52,081 --> 00:01:55,241
They don't sell those kinds of magazines
here. I checked.

40
00:01:56,601 --> 00:01:58,521
Come on, you little perv.
Meet me back here.

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Wait, was that an earthquake?

42
00:02:05,121 --> 00:02:06,841
Can I help you find anything?

43
00:02:07,001 --> 00:02:08,881
Yeah, I'm looking for a book.

44
00:02:11,961 --> 00:02:13,681
You probably need more than that.

45
00:02:13,841 --> 00:02:16,561
I want a book about,
you know, relationship stuff.

46
00:02:17,521 --> 00:02:19,321
Relationship stuff.

47
00:02:19,481 --> 00:02:23,601
No, not "relationship stuff,"
just relationship stuff.

48
00:02:23,961 --> 00:02:25,361
In the self-help section.

49
00:02:26,201 --> 00:02:28,880
- Thanks.
- Best of luck.

50
00:02:32,081 --> 00:02:34,321
This is worse than buying condoms.

51
00:02:35,961 --> 00:02:37,561
Okay, let's see.

52
00:02:37,721 --> 00:02:39,601
<i>"Why Relationships Fail."</i>

53
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,521
<i>"Smart Women, Foolish Choices."</i>

54
00:02:43,201 --> 00:02:45,241
Thank God for those gals.

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,321
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.

56
00:02:47,481 --> 00:02:49,040
<i>Oh, "Embracing Your Soul Mate."</i>

57
00:02:49,881 --> 00:02:53,241
Oh, "soul mate."
I thought it was "cellmate."

58
00:02:54,681 --> 00:02:56,320
You know, a prison love story?

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,721
I see.

60
00:02:58,041 --> 00:03:00,160
Not that I'm into prison love stories.

61
00:03:00,321 --> 00:03:01,841
I like the girls-in-prison stuff.

62
00:03:03,801 --> 00:03:05,880
Oh, who am I kidding?

63
00:03:06,361 --> 00:03:07,921
I'm looking for some help, okay?

64
00:03:08,601 --> 00:03:11,640
You're not alone. There are
millions of people looking for help.

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,201
Gee, thanks for making me feel special.

66
00:03:15,561 --> 00:03:17,000
Let me ask you something.

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,921
What would you change about yourself
if you could?

68
00:03:20,081 --> 00:03:22,401
- I don't know, little things, I guess.
- Like what?

69
00:03:23,081 --> 00:03:25,080
Well,
I guess I'd like to be a little happier.

70
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,201
Maybe find a way to sustain
a healthy relationship with a woman...

71
00:03:28,361 --> 00:03:31,160
...so I don't,
you know, grow old and die alone...

72
00:03:31,321 --> 00:03:33,600
...incontinent and unloved.

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,241
Yes, the little things.

74
00:03:37,401 --> 00:03:38,800
Can I recommend a book for you?

75
00:03:39,401 --> 00:03:40,561
Well, as long as I'm here.

76
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:50,521
<i>"Breaking Barriers:
Finding The Intimacy You Deserve."</i>

77
00:03:50,681 --> 00:03:53,600
I don't know.
I was hoping to do better than I deserve.

78
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,120
Give it a chance.
I hear it's helped a lot of people.

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,560
For 25 bucks, it better wash my car.

80
00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:03,800
Wait a minute, is this you?

81
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Armor All's extra.

82
00:04:06,161 --> 00:04:09,680
- Cool. Will you sign it for me?
- Oh, I'd be happy to. What's your name?

83
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,680
- Charlie.
- Okay.

84
00:04:13,001 --> 00:04:14,001
Great.

85
00:04:14,161 --> 00:04:17,401
Now, that it's autographed,
I'm not a loser, I'm a collector.

86
00:04:18,681 --> 00:04:20,240
Here you go.

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,201
"To Charlie, reading a self-help book
doesn't make you less of a man."

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,880
Okay, back to loser.

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,680
You're not a loser.

90
00:04:30,841 --> 00:04:33,081
Like most men,
you're just afraid to be vulnerable.

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,280
Excuse me, but what sane person
wants to be vulnerable?

92
00:04:36,921 --> 00:04:39,121
If you're not vulnerable,
you can't feel anything.

93
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,881
Yeah, and?

94
00:04:41,721 --> 00:04:42,720
Read the book.

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,841
Wait.

96
00:04:46,241 --> 00:04:47,680
Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

97
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,321
- Why?
- I'd like to talk to you some more.

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,681
Are you still gonna buy the book?

99
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:55,200
I have to. You wrote all over it.

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,920
- Then sure, why not?
- Great.

101
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,481
If I give you the money,
will you pay for it?

102
00:05:00,641 --> 00:05:03,361
I don't need any more sympathy
from the help.

103
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:05,561
What's a shrew anyway?

104
00:05:05,721 --> 00:05:07,280
Oh, it's a small rodent.

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,241
<i>Oh, so this is like Stuart Little?</i>

106
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,680
No, no, it's about a man
trying to control a willful, angry woman.

107
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,121
Is he trying to control her with rodents?

108
00:05:17,761 --> 00:05:19,320
I don't wanna spoil it for you.

109
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Let's just find your Uncle Charlie
and get out of here.

110
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,280
Excuse me, have you seen a guy,
dark hair, bowling shirt, shorts?

111
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Oh, yeah, the self-help guy.

112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,880
No, that doesn't sound like him.

113
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,401
A guy like that just left
with a pretty blond woman.

114
00:05:33,561 --> 00:05:35,520
That sounds like him.

115
00:05:36,121 --> 00:05:37,440
Dad, this is the wrong book.

116
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
- What are you talking about?
- It's in some sort of foreign language.

117
00:05:41,201 --> 00:05:42,881
It's Elizabethan.

118
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,801
Well, can we get one in English?

119
00:05:45,881 --> 00:05:47,560
Walk.

120
00:05:51,761 --> 00:05:54,080
How could you
have already lost the book?

121
00:05:54,241 --> 00:05:56,800
I didn't do it on purpose.
What are you yelling at me for?

122
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,120
Because it's one of the few pleasures
of being your father.

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,361
- Oh, look who's here. Thanks a lot.
- What did I do?

124
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,800
You stranded us at the mall.
We had to take the bus.

125
00:06:07,961 --> 00:06:12,280
The bus, I left the book on the bus.
There, mystery solved.

126
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Go get in the car.

127
00:06:14,561 --> 00:06:17,240
- Where are we going?
- Where do you think we're going?

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,280
Well, we never did get those pancakes.

129
00:06:21,401 --> 00:06:23,560
We're going to the bookstore
to buy another book.

130
00:06:23,721 --> 00:06:26,320
- This one's coming out of your allowance.
- What allowance?

131
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,440
- I'm supposed to be getting an allowance?
- Go get your shoes.

132
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,641
- Did you guys feel that?
- Move it.

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,121
So guess what.

134
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,600
I'm gonna transform my life
and get the intimacy I deserve.

135
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Fantastic.

136
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,040
You work on that while
I go back to the mall with taterhead.

137
00:06:54,441 --> 00:06:57,360
Not only that,
I met the author and she's amazing.

138
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,120
- The woman you dumped us for?
- Yeah, know what she told me?

139
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:01,441
No idea.

140
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,320
She told me that my fear of being hurt
keeps me from feeling anything at all.

141
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,400
It's like I'm living in an emotional prison
that I built myself.

142
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,000
How about that? You abandoned us.

143
00:07:11,601 --> 00:07:12,920
I know, but get this.

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520
I'm not just a prisoner, I'm the warden.

145
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
We had to take two buses and walk a mile
on the Pacific Coast Highway...

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,320
...during rush hour.

147
00:07:22,841 --> 00:07:24,840
I get it. I understand.

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,601
But the good news is
I hold the keys to my own freedom.

149
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600
There's no sidewalk
on the Pacific Coast highway.

150
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,760
Okay, okay, I hear you.

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,400
You're angry and resentful.

152
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,161
But what you need to understand...

153
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,001
...is that resentment is the mortar that
holds the bricks of Ioneliness together...

154
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,080
...in a wall of alienation and despair.

155
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,001
Chapter 3, "Knocking Down the Wall."

156
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,560
Bite me.

157
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,720
<i>That's Chapter 1 in my forthcoming book
entitled Bite Me.</i>

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Chapter 2 is called,
"Kiss My Pale White Ass."

159
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,240
- We can't go back to the mall.
- Why not?

160
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,800
My shoes are missing.

161
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,080
Another mystery solved.

162
00:08:15,641 --> 00:08:16,640
Wrong foot, buddy.

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,760
Oh, yeah, thanks.

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,200
<i>Guess I should be reading
Taming of the Shoe.</i>

165
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Get it?

166
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080
You might wanna start thinking
about having him neutered.

167
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,320
This is delicious.

168
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,240
I've never had Ethiopian food before.

169
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,240
I've loved it
ever since I lived in Ethiopia.

170
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,000
When did you live there?

171
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,800
Let's see.

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,680
It would have to be 1972.

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,320
1972? Were you born there?

174
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120
Don't be silly. This was right after college.
I was in the Peace Corps.

175
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080
College, 1972.

176
00:09:04,599 --> 00:09:05,600
Need a pencil?

177
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,920
No, no, no.

178
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,440
I was just thinking
what I was doing in 1972.

179
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Oh, tell me.

180
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,560
I don't have a vivid memory of it...

181
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,840
...but I'm sure that's the year
I graduated to the big-boy potty.

182
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,520
It was quite a year for both of us.

183
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,480
So are you still using
that college degree?

184
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Because I'm still using
the big-boy potty.

185
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,440
You're used to going out
with younger women, aren't you?

186
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Well, I don't really think about age
as much as I think about personality...

187
00:09:40,119 --> 00:09:45,360
...and, you know,
chemistry and education, family values.

188
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,880
All right, young and dumb,
you got me.

189
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,160
I'm not judging you, Charlie. You're a man
and you know what you want.

190
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,160
What's wrong with that?

191
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Nothing?

192
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Nothing.

193
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280
You are fine just the way you are.

194
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,960
- I am?
- Of course, you are.

195
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,640
If I called my mother now,
would you tell her that?

196
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,200
You don't think she knows?

197
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,639
As far as she's concerned...

198
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,840
...the last thing I did right
was evacuate her uterus.

199
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,840
Oh, you poor thing. That's awful.

200
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,280
It is, isn't it?

201
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Every little boy
needs to feel loved and nurtured.

202
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,719
Otherwise, he grows up with a hole
inside him that he can never fill.

203
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,040
Oh, I have got such a big hole.

204
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,359
If my hole could talk.

205
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,919
You've got a little something
right here.

206
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:44,439
I'll get it.

207
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,519
- There we go.
- Thanks.

208
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,600
You know what?

209
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,520
I like you.

210
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Well, I like you too, Charlie.

211
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,080
Try the Yemiser Kik Wat.

212
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Looks kind of yucky.

213
00:11:04,599 --> 00:11:06,640
Well, don't look at it. Just taste it.

214
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,359
Oh, come on, just one bite. For me?

215
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Okay.

216
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,160
Hey, it's good.

217
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,720
I told you.

218
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:27,759
Oh, excuse me.
Could I get another napkin?

219
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,280
So, what do they have for dessert?

220
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,679
Well, Charlie,
thank you for a lovely evening.

221
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,599
You're welcome.

222
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,959
Can I kiss you good night?

223
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,000
Do you usually ask permission?

224
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:52,920
Well, no.

225
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,440
Then why are you asking now?

226
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:59,000
I don't know.
I don't wanna get in trouble.

227
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,239
Okay, I'm in trouble.

228
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought I heard something.

229
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,080
It's okay. Jeremy, this is Charlie.

230
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,480
- Charlie, this is my son, Jeremy.
- Hey, man.

231
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:20,080
- How are you?
- How's it going?

232
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,039
I didn't mean to interrupt.
I dropped in to fix your computer.

233
00:12:23,199 --> 00:12:25,519
I'll leave you two alone.
Charlie, good meeting you.

234
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,080
Same here.

235
00:12:29,079 --> 00:12:30,680
So that's your son?

236
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,719
- How old is he?
- Thirty-two.

237
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,039
They're cute at that age.

238
00:12:55,833 --> 00:12:57,832
- Hey.
- What?

239
00:12:57,992 --> 00:13:00,192
You're supposed
to be finishing your report.

240
00:13:00,353 --> 00:13:02,553
I know, but I can't find the book.

241
00:13:05,392 --> 00:13:07,592
You're kidding. We just bought it.

242
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:08,873
What can I say, Dad?

243
00:13:09,032 --> 00:13:11,193
It's a big house and a little book.

244
00:13:12,352 --> 00:13:14,792
Find the book.

245
00:13:15,352 --> 00:13:18,712
- I'm really tired.
- Find the book.

246
00:13:20,233 --> 00:13:22,232
Just saying it won't make it happen.

247
00:13:24,312 --> 00:13:27,752
Find the book!

248
00:13:29,993 --> 00:13:31,192
Heads up. He's losing it.

249
00:13:32,352 --> 00:13:34,272
I should have put frosting
on the damn book.

250
00:13:34,432 --> 00:13:36,792
He's never lost anything
with frosting on it.

251
00:13:37,432 --> 00:13:40,312
I don't know why you continue
to bang your head against the wall.

252
00:13:40,472 --> 00:13:44,152
The kid's obviously destined to sell
tube socks out of the trunk of his car.

253
00:13:45,753 --> 00:13:48,112
A business of his own.

254
00:13:48,272 --> 00:13:50,392
Gee, that'd be swell.

255
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:56,033
- So how was your date?
- Terrific.

256
00:13:56,192 --> 00:13:59,992
- Then why are you home so early?
- Well, turns out she has a kid.

257
00:14:00,153 --> 00:14:01,272
Single mom, huh?

258
00:14:02,192 --> 00:14:03,672
Yeah.

259
00:14:04,632 --> 00:14:06,873
That's what she is, single mom.

260
00:14:07,032 --> 00:14:08,793
- How old?
- Thirty-two.

261
00:14:08,952 --> 00:14:11,192
- I meant the kid.
- So did I.

262
00:14:11,673 --> 00:14:12,633
You're kidding.

263
00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:15,192
If she's got a 32-year-old kid
that would make her...

264
00:14:15,352 --> 00:14:17,072
Don't do the math, please.

265
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:19,073
It all goes south
when you do the math.

266
00:14:19,832 --> 00:14:22,633
Come on, so you're dating
an older woman. It's no big deal.

267
00:14:22,792 --> 00:14:24,992
That's it?
You're not gonna give me a hard time?

268
00:14:25,152 --> 00:14:27,192
Don't be silly.
I'm more evolved than that.

269
00:14:27,832 --> 00:14:29,272
Well, good.

270
00:14:30,312 --> 00:14:33,592
<i>Just a gigolo
Everywhere I go</i>

271
00:14:33,753 --> 00:14:37,313
<i>People know the part
I'm playing</i>

272
00:14:37,912 --> 00:14:39,592
I guess I'm not.

273
00:14:40,632 --> 00:14:42,393
Look, this is a spectacular woman...

274
00:14:42,552 --> 00:14:44,952
...and it doesn't matter in the least
how old she is.

275
00:14:45,112 --> 00:14:47,832
Please. You can't even tolerate age spots
on a banana.

276
00:14:49,192 --> 00:14:55,192
Okay, okay, first of all, on a banana,
spots are an indication of mushiness.

277
00:14:55,352 --> 00:14:59,512
And second,
I haven't peeled this woman yet.

278
00:15:06,712 --> 00:15:08,152
In the freezer?

279
00:15:09,152 --> 00:15:12,272
- Jake.
- I found it, I'm reading.

280
00:15:12,432 --> 00:15:14,392
It's really cool.

281
00:15:27,112 --> 00:15:30,072
- For God's sake.
- Hey, I was reading that.

282
00:15:30,232 --> 00:15:32,552
<i>You're writing a report
on The Taming of The Shrew...</i>

283
00:15:32,712 --> 00:15:34,392
...not the voyages of Cap'n Crunch.

284
00:15:34,712 --> 00:15:37,272
Too bad.
I could write the crap out of that.

285
00:15:40,152 --> 00:15:44,432
Okay, I'm not fooling around here.

286
00:15:44,592 --> 00:15:48,272
You're gonna finish this damn book
and write the damn report...

287
00:15:48,432 --> 00:15:50,672
...you're gonna hand it in Monday,
spell-checked...

288
00:15:50,832 --> 00:15:53,432
...formatted and on freaking time.

289
00:15:54,272 --> 00:15:56,472
I have my doubts, Dad.

290
00:15:58,352 --> 00:16:00,952
- Read.
- Fine.

291
00:16:04,152 --> 00:16:05,152
Listen to this.

292
00:16:05,312 --> 00:16:07,072
"A sleeve? 'Tis like a demi-cannon:

293
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:10,232
What! Up and down,
carv'd like an apple-tart?"

294
00:16:10,392 --> 00:16:12,952
All I get from this is
"blah, blah, blah, apple tart."

295
00:16:14,792 --> 00:16:16,632
Have we got any apple tarts?

296
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,112
- Hi.
- Hi.

297
00:16:25,472 --> 00:16:26,472
Good.

298
00:16:26,632 --> 00:16:29,272
I was afraid that first kiss
might have been a fluke.

299
00:16:29,432 --> 00:16:32,192
Well, I don't know about you,
but that was not my first kiss.

300
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,112
Come on in.

301
00:16:34,672 --> 00:16:36,631
Wow, what a beautiful home.

302
00:16:37,512 --> 00:16:39,072
Thank you.

303
00:16:41,112 --> 00:16:42,792
How much of it do you wanna see?

304
00:16:45,951 --> 00:16:47,912
This'll be enough for today.

305
00:16:48,552 --> 00:16:50,232
Understood. Let's hit the road.

306
00:16:50,392 --> 00:16:52,032
Aren't you gonna take a jacket?

307
00:16:52,192 --> 00:16:53,312
I'm okay, don't need one.

308
00:16:53,472 --> 00:16:56,632
- It gets cool in Santa Barbara, Charlie.
- I'll be fine.

309
00:16:56,791 --> 00:16:59,952
Please. If you don't need it,
you can leave it in the car.

310
00:17:00,832 --> 00:17:02,312
All right.

311
00:17:03,592 --> 00:17:06,352
- Take a look around.
- Thanks, I will.

312
00:17:07,392 --> 00:17:10,231
Oh, hi, you must be Angie.

313
00:17:10,392 --> 00:17:11,992
I'm Alan, Charlie's brother.

314
00:17:12,151 --> 00:17:14,232
Oh, of course, hi.
Oh, what a firm handshake.

315
00:17:14,392 --> 00:17:17,312
Oh, well, no one trusts
a chiropractor with limp hands.

316
00:17:17,472 --> 00:17:18,712
Oh, you're a chiropractor?

317
00:17:19,352 --> 00:17:21,592
Hang on.
I could have gotten into medical school.

318
00:17:21,751 --> 00:17:24,032
I didn't wanna spend
four years in South America.

319
00:17:24,192 --> 00:17:27,552
- No, no, I'm a big fan of chiropractics.
- You're kidding.

320
00:17:27,712 --> 00:17:29,912
No, I think you people
are miracle workers.

321
00:17:30,592 --> 00:17:32,152
Okay, I'm ready to go.

322
00:17:32,832 --> 00:17:34,872
Did you put on sun block?

323
00:17:35,191 --> 00:17:36,232
I don't need sun block.

324
00:17:36,392 --> 00:17:38,152
Oh, honey, I think you do.

325
00:17:38,312 --> 00:17:41,112
You have beautiful skin.
I don't wanna see it get burned.

326
00:17:41,272 --> 00:17:43,192
You're right, thanks.

327
00:17:43,752 --> 00:17:48,952
So anyway, you were saying something
about me being a miracle worker?

328
00:17:49,112 --> 00:17:51,472
Oh, God, yes.
I threw my back out last year skiing.

329
00:17:51,631 --> 00:17:55,351
- My chiropractor just about saved my life.
- That's what we do, you know.

330
00:17:55,512 --> 00:17:58,712
We're not flashy, we don't get,
you know, special license plates...

331
00:17:58,872 --> 00:18:00,992
...so we can park
wherever the hell we want.

332
00:18:01,152 --> 00:18:03,272
You know,
nobody makes TV shows about us.

333
00:18:03,431 --> 00:18:08,032
Or calls us McDreamy
or McSteamy or McMuffin.

334
00:18:09,751 --> 00:18:11,992
We just quietly go about
the business of healing.

335
00:18:12,152 --> 00:18:13,832
- I know, I know.
- Thank you, thank you.

336
00:18:13,991 --> 00:18:15,911
I only wish more people appreciated us.

337
00:18:16,312 --> 00:18:18,111
You can't worry about
what people think.

338
00:18:18,272 --> 00:18:21,432
I know, but the lack of respect
really hurts, you know.

339
00:18:21,592 --> 00:18:25,752
Back-cracker, spine-cruncher,
quack, charlatan, witch doctor...

340
00:18:25,912 --> 00:18:28,271
- Alan.
...voodoo priest, fraud, failure.

341
00:18:28,432 --> 00:18:30,072
Hey, hey.

342
00:18:30,751 --> 00:18:32,791
Know what we call people
who say those things?

343
00:18:32,952 --> 00:18:34,072
My family?

344
00:18:34,872 --> 00:18:36,071
We call them damaged.

345
00:18:36,231 --> 00:18:38,792
They need to hurt others
to feel better about themselves.

346
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:41,392
Exactly, the reason
I don't feel better about myself...

347
00:18:41,551 --> 00:18:43,832
...is I'm not good enough
at hurting them back.

348
00:18:44,272 --> 00:18:45,951
Oh, no, you don't wanna do that.

349
00:18:46,312 --> 00:18:48,151
Yeah, I kind of do.

350
00:18:48,512 --> 00:18:52,951
Alan, you need to ignore the negativity
and open yourself up...

351
00:18:53,112 --> 00:18:55,392
...to the nurturing love
that's all around you.

352
00:18:55,872 --> 00:18:58,232
- Love is all around me?
- Yes.

353
00:18:58,392 --> 00:19:01,272
Is it hiding
behind the loathing and rejection?

354
00:19:01,912 --> 00:19:04,952
Honey, I am loving you right now.

355
00:19:05,632 --> 00:19:08,072
- Really?
- Yes, really.

356
00:19:09,752 --> 00:19:11,071
Thank you.

357
00:19:14,992 --> 00:19:17,672
You are a wonderful,
valuable human being.

358
00:19:18,232 --> 00:19:19,872
I am?

359
00:19:20,391 --> 00:19:21,911
Yes, you are.

360
00:19:28,952 --> 00:19:31,272
I see you're getting to know
my brother.

361
00:19:37,369 --> 00:19:38,849
Isn't this beautiful country?

362
00:19:39,489 --> 00:19:41,769
Yeah, it's swell.

363
00:19:42,209 --> 00:19:45,888
Angie, if you like antiquing,
I know some great little shops.

364
00:19:46,049 --> 00:19:48,409
- I'm not going antiquing.
- Oh, that's okay.

365
00:19:48,569 --> 00:19:51,648
Angie and I will peel off
and you can sit in the park and drink.

366
00:19:52,769 --> 00:19:54,729
Are there any game arcades
in Santa Barbara?

367
00:19:54,889 --> 00:19:56,929
You won't have time.
You have a book to read.

368
00:19:57,089 --> 00:19:58,809
Oh, yeah.

369
00:19:59,209 --> 00:20:01,089
I forgot it.

370
00:20:01,809 --> 00:20:03,609
That's okay.
We can stop at a bookstore.

371
00:20:03,769 --> 00:20:05,929
Oh, gee,
we don't want to ruin your afternoon.

372
00:20:06,089 --> 00:20:08,248
Hey, we invited you.
We want you with us.

373
00:20:08,409 --> 00:20:10,369
- Right, Charlie?
- No.

374
00:20:10,529 --> 00:20:12,649
Oh, don't be that way.

375
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:16,289
I tell you what, after we get Jake's book,
we'll stop and get ice cream.

376
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:17,929
Yes.
