how the day was gonna come

when you couldn't take the goo-gaa

to school with you anymore?

That day is gonna be today.

So what Daddy's gonna do

is l'm gonna take the goo-gaa.

l'm gonna hold on to it for you.

When you get home from school,

you'll get it back then, all right?

All right, sweetie.

Just give me the goo-gaa.

And you have a great day.

All right, baby.

As you know,

Yeah. l've got 12 people and four desks.

We need your money.

Mr. Cosgrove, can l call you right back?

Trish, please, this is a really bad week.

Evan, l told you three months ago

that this week was pledge week.

- That's this week?

- Yes.

You promised me you wouldn't do this.

You promised me.

Look, Evan,

- Trish, please, not this week.

- ...had a chance...

- No!

- l promise you...

- No.

'Cause l did. l do!

You know, Evan,

you're a really smart guy.

You make huge deals every day.

l'm sure you'll find a way

to deal with her.

Sweetie, you're gonna go

with Daddy, okay?

- Okay.

- He's so excited.

to say good night.

- Promise?

- You'll be fine. You'll be fine.

- Okay.

- l love you, kiddo.

And she's the one that's intimidating.

- What?

- Honestly. She just stares at me!

Or through me.

She's got this imaginary world

that she goes to

with Kupida and Kapuda and Zupida.

l don't get it.

Look, l'm gonna put this

You're a complete idiot.

You feel out of control
