Don't you, Daddy?

- Leave me outta this.

Your daddy may not mind,

but your mama do.

I'm goin' with your father

to his gig tonight. When I come home,

the house better be clean.

I'll be goddamned if I should have to do

anything when I come home from work...

- but sleep and relax.

- [Woody Belching]

- [Both] Ewww!

- Ewww! Come on, Daddy!

- Excuse me.

- Yuck.

- Excuse me! L...

[Indistinct]

[Wendell] Brother, there he goes

again. Tony Eyes can't even sing.

[Blowing Horn]

Not tonight!

# If I ever find that

you've changed at any time #

# It's not unusual to find

that I'm in love with you #

[Clinton] # It's not unusual

to find that I'm in love with you #

- # In love with you

In love with you ##

- Goddamn son of a b*tch.

I can't even enjoy my meal

without that funky McNasty

f*ggot ruining my appetite.

- Woodrow!

- It's true, Gem.

Damn, not at the table.

Put the salt down, Wendell,

before I pull your head off!

[Kids Chattering, Laughing]

Dag, this is gettin'...

Oh, he got, he got blowed up!

- You see his hands?

- [Laughing]

Why you laughing for? He don't even

know what's goin' on; he's laughing.

- Hey, they... Oh, man,

they gonna get him.

- Oh, they gonna get him.

[Tony]

# Please release me #

# Let me go #

- [Dog Whines]

- # For I don't love you #

# Anymore #

## [Continues, Indistinct]

Troy. Troy,

what are you doin'?

This isn't the bathroom.

Get outta here!

That's disgusting.

You better clean that mess up too.

Sorry.

Clinton!

Have you lost your mind?

- What?

- Didn't I tell you

I wanted the kitchen clean?

- Get up! Get up now!

- What time is it?

It's 4:
00. Get up.

Get your butt in there.

- It's not fair...

- You get in there and

do what I told you to do!

Hey, you! Get up!

All you little peanuts at attention!

Get up, boy! Now!

Hey, little one. Everybody up.

Get your butt out of that...

- Mutley, everybody!

I'm sick of this sh*t!

- I don't wanna get up, Mommy.

[All Shouting, Chattering]

Hey! Wendell. Wendell!

Don't play with me, boy.

- Get up now! Get your...

- Stop it!

You'll get your butt up...

Get up now!

What did I tell you to do?

What did I say at the table?

- Get, get downstairs.

- Daddy...

Your daddy?

Your daddy ain't here. Get up.

Can't we do it

in the morning?

Everybody, up against the wall.

From now on, everybody's gonna

start pullin' their weight.

Do you understand me?

- Why you actin' so crazy?

- You make me crazy!

- Boy, I'll slap the black off you.

This is no hotel!

- You ain't slappin' me.

I will slap...

I'll knock them teeth into tomorrow.

You're gonna start cookin' too.

Get downstairs now. Go!

Get outta my face.

Get outta my face right now!
