till the next period?

Suddenly, a dark cloud

settled over first period.

I got a C in Debate?

Dee?

Did you get your report card?

Yeah. I'm toast. How did you do?

I totally choked.

My father's going to

go ballistic on me.

Mr. Hall was way harsh.

He gave me a C-minus.

He gave me a C,

which drags down my entire average.

Bye.

I'll call you.

Isn't my house classic?

The columns date

all the way back to 1972.

Wasn't my mom a Betty?

She died when I was just a baby.

A fluke accident

during a routine liposuction.

I don't remember her,

but I like to pretend

she still watches over me.

Hey, Mom. 98 in Geometry.

Pretty groovy, huh?

Yuck! The maudlin music

of the university station?

Wah wah wah!

Yuck! What is it about

college and crybaby music?

Hey.

Who's watching the Galleria?

The flannel shirt...

Is that a nod

to the crispy Seattle weather?

Or are you trying to stay warm

in front of the refrigerator?

Oh, wow, you're filling out there.

Oh, wow, your face is

catching up with your mouth.

I went by Dad's office.

He is not your dad.

Go torture a new family.

Just because my mother

marries someone else

doesn't mean he's my father.

That's exactly what it means.

I hope you're not

thinking of staying here.

I sure want to.

I got a place near school.

Shouldn't you go to school

on the East Coast?

I hear girls at NYU

aren't at all particular.

You're funny.

Hey!

You just got here, and already

you're playing couch commando.

In some parts of the universe,

it's considered cool to know

what's going on in the world.

I so need lessons

from you on how to be cool.

Tell me that part

about Kenny G. Again.

Come on, you chuckleheads!

Get in here!

Josh, are you still growing?

You look taller than you did at Easter.

I don't think so.

His head looks bigger.

So, Josh, have you given any thought

to our discussion about corporate law?

I think I'd like

to check out environmental law.

What for? You want to have

a miserable, frustrating life?

Josh will have that

no matter what he does.

He knows what he wants to do.

He's in a good college.

I'd like to see you

have some direction.

I have direction.

Yeah. Towards the mall.

Where's your report card?

It's not ready yet.

What do you mean

it's not ready yet?

Some teachers were trying

to lowball me, Daddy.

You say never accept a first offer.

These grades are a jumping-off point

to start negotiations.

Very good.

- Dee? -

Hello? - Yeah?

Yeah, Jake. What?

No! Not the afternoon!

You are such a brownnoser.

You are such

a superficial space cadet.

What makes you think your teachers

will change your grades?

Only the fact that I've done it

every other semester.
