It Runs in the Family Page #3

- Yeah, I do. And so am I.

You are such a troublemaker.

Oh, but you see, I'm kinda worth it.

Oh, sh*t!

I can't do this.

I have evidence to the contrary.

You said if I was still hungry

Come on.

Thank you, no.

It's a little early for me.

What can I do to help?

The dishes. Don't break any.

You're such the happy helper

this evening, aren't you?

It's called survival, honey.

What an attractive neighbourhood.

Let me give you a kiss.

Let me take your coat.

Hi, Uncle Stephen. How are you?

- Hiya, Dad.

- How are you doing?

He's not deaf!

He's just demented.

Where are the boys?

- Where's Asher?

- He should be here any minute.

Move into the living room.

- Can I get you a drink?

- That'd be lovely.

Want the usual?

I'll have, this year, please...

...some real wine!

You don't like the kosher wine

we serve you?

You schlep me all the way down here.

At least give me wine

that I can drink.

Well, that's,

that's a point well taken, Dad.

Get me a tequila while you're at it.

She's jumpin'!

Give me five.

Now, Eli, this is important.

First,

a quick kick in the shins

gets his attention.

Then, using the palm...

Smack in the kisser!

Push his nose right into his brain!

What are you telling him?

Don't worry.

You finish...

...a knee, right in the family jewels.

Please refrain

from filling my son's head

with your blood-and-guts stories.

Every boy should know these things.

Every boy

should not know these things.

Yes, I should.

Not yet.

Was he always like this?

Oh, no, dear.

No, Uncle Stephen

was a great Navy man.

Very brave.

And very dashing in his uniform.

All right, everybody,

let's come to the table.

Where's Asher?

He's probably hanging out

on some street corner. We'll start.

He'll join us when he gets here.

Manners of a caveman.

What? He should be here.

Stephen! Not yet.

We thank you, oh, Lord our God,

King of the universe,

who created the fruit of the vine.

Amen.

Only 1927!

Give me a hard boiled...

This is the bread of our affliction.

And this one is the Afikomen.

I will hide the Afikomen,

and don't you cheat.

"Why is it on all other nights

of the year we eat bread or matzo,

but on this night we eat only matzo?"

- Now what?

- I'm sorry, son.

- You have to take this now?

- It's Barney.

This may be an emergency.

My grandson is reading

the four questions!

- Eli, I'm sorry.

- No, it's OK.

Go ahead. Start again.

We're having dinner now.

Ignores his duties at the firm

for years. Now he has to work?

- Mitchell, not now.

- Wait a minute, what did you say?

- You heard me.

- You're talkin' to me about duty?

I know all about duty.

Duty to my family as well as my work!

- What about me?
