Please.

Fine. Then take the bet.

Deal.

Where are you going?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on, that's cheating.

Oh, no, it's not.

That's...

No, that's not what I...

Your dreams are

about to come true.

Nightmares.

I'll tell you,

this chili is amazing, guy.

It's got an incredible kick.

Eight alarms, guy.

Eight.

You made this?

Wait till you see what kind

of dreams you have tonight.

So, listen, you really

have no extra work?

I mean, power-washing,

painting, anything.

I'll take anything.

No, no one's hiring right now.

I had to lay off

two guys myself.

Bobby Denisi

just lost his house.

Eric, tell Mary Shannon

to get off the freaking phone!

Mary Shannon,

get off the freaking phone!

I could have done that!

Well, then why didn't you?

Man, she's so lazy.

Yeah. I wish I could

help you out,

but... Hey, buddy?

What are you trying

to accomplish here?

I got it, okay?

And where the heck is Peter?

He was supposed to be

in the tub 10 minutes ago!

I don't know.

Can't find him.

Dad, can I watch The World's

Deadliest Car Chases?

How old are you?

Five.

Five. I don't know.

What do you think?

No.

No.

Sorry, buddy.

Go upstairs, take a bath.

Found him!

...425 degrees

for about an hour and 15 minutes

until it's just perfectly...

Hey.

If you need me to front you a

couple hunnies, I can do that.

I got some money stacked away

that she don't know about.

Look, I appreciate it, but I

need a lot more than that.

You know what we could do?

We could bet a five-game

parlay and take those winnings

right to the Indian casino.

Mom, Dad's betting again!

All right, guess who's

not getting a hamster.

What about that

citizenship class you

used to teach at night?

Nah, that was so brutal.

I don't even know

if they're hiring.

No, no, you just relax,

you know.

I got all the kids, okay, Eric?

Good, honey.

I had a tough day.

All right.

I'm tired anyway.

You, middle one, upstairs now.

Hey, and stop putting Raisinets

up your brother's nose, okay?

Dad says it's funny.

What are you doing?

You're sitting there.

You haven't taken a shower.

You disgust me.

Mission accomplished.

Pig.

Ostrich.

Now, 10-car pileup.

Okay, question number three,

"Women such as Susan B. Anthony

fought for suffrage and were

finally successful in 1920."

What does "suffrage" mean?

What's that?

...to accept

the things I cannot change...

Okay, you know what? That's

the AA meeting next door.

You know what, let's let them

finish up the Serenity Prayer.

...accepting hardship

as a pathway to peace.

He will make all things right

if I surrender to his will.

That I may be reasonably

happy in this life

and supremely happy
