Are you watching this?.

He was so cute, and now he's all,

"I'm a gangsta, yo."

Yeah, I was in earlier

about the Mustang.

You still have it, right?.

Cool.

I will be there later tonight

with the down payment.

Okay. Thankyou.

- What are you doing?.

- This way it's more like homemade.

I want us to have a nice dinner tonight

before your dad goes to his conference.

- He's taking me to buy a car tonight.

- After dinner.

Mom, can I have some money?.

Did you do your chores?.

Have I told you lately

how much I respect and admire you?.

Buy a car,

give money to Satan.

You're so lucky

you're an only child.

Hey, Mom says

we can go after dinner...

which is cool because they're open

till 9:
00, so we should still make it.

- Make what?.

- The car lot.

They've got a Mustang convertible.

I'm gonna trick it out with a V-8.

ConsumerReports

rated it a best buy--

good reliability,

decent gas mileage...

and pretty good crash test scores

for a convertible.

Okay, so what else

have you compared it to?.

Nothing.

That's the car I want.

You're not gonna prove your case

by ignoring all the other data.

It's not a clinical trial, Dad.

If something's right, you gotta close

your eyes, grit your teeth and hang on.

No, you gotta step back, weigh the

options and make a calculated choice.

I want you to do

your homework on this.

If the Mustang is the caryou want when

I get back, that's the car we'll get.

It's not gonna be there when you

get back.Just come look at it tonight.

When I get back. I gotta

go over Dopler's project tonight.

- You haven't heard from him in a week.

- Yes, but I promised to get to it.

That's what this is about, isn't it?.

This isn't about looking at other cars.

- What are you talking about?.

- Nothing!

You always have time foryour students

and never foryour own kids.

Now he's concerned about me.

Hey, I asked you

to come to this conference.

- Who was it who said he was too busy?.

- The Congress of Applied Science?.

- There's fun for the whole family.

- Stop it. Sit!

Eat.

Kelly, get off the phone.

- Okay.

- Come on, you guys.

Some of history's greatest

peace treaties have been signed...

over green beans

and beef Stroganoff.

I'm not hungry.

- Zak, I promise I'll take you--

- Tell it to Dopler.

I don't know how you work

in all this mess.

Honey, I was gonna

fix that foryou.

I bought a new toaster

a year ago.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I don't wanna leave with something

like this between Zak and me either.

It's just--

He's got so much potential

and, yeah, right now he can skate by...

but it's gonna catch up to him.

Maybe. But he's finding

his own way, George.

Just because it isn't your way
