or you can do this.

- Okay.

- You are on your own, buddy.

I'll be in the car.

I'm gonna concede this game.

Dr. Henning to pediatrics.

Dr. Henning to pediatrics, please.

Hi. Thank you.

Give her baby aspirin

until her fever reduces.

Okay.

She don't look too bad.

- I'm trying, Ellie.

- Not hard enough, Dad.

- She still sleeping?

- Yeah.

All the kids are home sick today,

so you're gonna have to stay here

and take care of them.

I have a big history test I can't miss.

Okay, well, I'll...

I'll call Grandma and...

There's a party at Tom's tonight.

- You want to come over?

- No, no, daddy-o.

I'm going to Motorcycle Rita's

to get drunk and have sex and do drugs.

No doll's called Motorcycle Rita.

Yes, there is. And that's where

Marijuana Millie's going tonight.

No doll's named Marijuana.

Okay, maybe not your dolls,

but my dolls do a lot of interesting things

yours would never do.

Well, my dolls like to go camping

all the time at Lake Don Pedro.

And eat tacos and swim.

Who cares about tacos and Lake Don Pedro?

What's been up with you lately?

I thought we were playing dolls

and having fun and stuff like that,

and all of a sudden

your doll is out of control.

- Millie used to own a bakery.

- She sold it.

Can't be naked and own a bakery.

I'm going home.

Wait.

I thought we were gonna make s'mores,

and camp out in the backyard with the

Little Elvis and play records all night long.

It's not gonna be any fun

if it's just me and him.

Aren't we a little old

to be playing with dolls?

Yeah, that'll be the day.

I'll see you later.

Come on. Ellie's all right.

You have no idea how bad it is, Billy.

She's no fun anymore.

She doesn't even want to play dolls.

You guys still play dolls?

Stop giving me the business.

How would an autographed picture

of Mrs. Roosevelt make Ellie be fun again?

It just would.

Billy, I'm 15 years old, okay?

Fifteen is the age when girls start

to lose it and Ellie's almost 16.

- So what do you think that means?

- I really...

- I really have no idea.

- Of course, you're a boy.

Are you going

to the Rock Around the Clock hop?

If no other fellow has asked you to go,

we could go together.

I mean, I'm sure... I'm sure

that you have a lot of guys you like, so.

Listen, Billy,

'cause I'm only gonna say this once.

I know you think us girls think about

you guys all the time, but we don't.

Okay?

So I'll see you soon.

And next time, can I have my cone swirled

instead of just plain vanilla?

And can you dip it, too, please?

- Yeah, sure.

- Au revoir.

"Dear Max,

"thank you so much for your letter.

"At the moment,

I'm out of pictures of myself.
