Must Love Dogs Page #3

...for a successful relationship. | - I fear for you, child.

Anyone have anything exciting | happen this weekend to share?

My Uncle Mike slept over.

Uncles and aunts | are very important to us, aren't they?

He's not really my uncle, | but my mommy makes me call him that.

When he's there, I can't sleep with | my mommy because he's in her bed.

Anyone else have anything | they'd like to share?

Yes, Austin.

My parents are trying it | apart for a while.

- We have a theme, June. | - Yes, we do.

And Mom says my dad is incorrigible. | That means he likes other women.

Good.

One, two.

Let me try.

That's a hop.

One, two, that's a new step. | Very good.

- Molly, you wanna try the sticks? | - Yeah, come on, Molly.

Very good. Keep it going like that.

- Watch. | - No, I'm doing it.

Austin!

Good Lord, it's a gusher.

Let me see your teeth.

- Hey, bubba. | - Look who's here.

Daddy!

- Are you all right? | - Yep, I'm fine.

He had a decent bloody nose | for a while, but he's fine now.

- You didn't have to rush right over. | - A kid bleeds, I show up. It's house rules.

- You wanna get your stuff together now? | - Yeah.

- Then I need a minute alone with Ms. Nolan. | - Okay. Bye, Ms. Nolan.

Bye.

No. No. No.

So, Ms. Nolan...

- Sarah, please. | - And I'm Bob.

Actually, everybody calls me Bobby.

I've been trying to change it | since third grade.

I'm a pushover for Bobbys...

...ever since my first boyfriend, | Bobby Healy, just...

You know?

I forget, is it "always discuss your personal | history with parents" or "never discuss"?

It's "always discuss." | Besides, I find it comforting.

So has Austin told you | anything about...?

- About you and... | - Yeah.

That you're taking a break from | your marriage and you're incorrigible.

That phrasing came from his mother.

- I wouldn't have put it that way, but... | - I'm sorry.

If there's anything you think | I need to know, tell me.

- I will. | - Sometimes with Austin, you can forget.

- Because he seems so mature. | - I know.

The other day he asked | about my retirement plan.

Well, he cares about you, and he | wants you to be financially secure.

You know Austin adores you. | I can see why.

- Thank you, Bob. | - I might prefer Bobby after all.

I mean, I like the... | I like the history.

Two guys alone in the afternoon | watching "Doctor Zhivago".

- There's something gravely wrong here. | - It's all there, man.

The yearning, the suffering, | a woman you'll pursue...

...through blizzards, across continents.

A love so real, | even after you're dead it still hurts.

- That's all I want. | - You need to get out.

- You do. You need to see real people. | - You wanna watch it again?

No. I want to go out. Come on, | I previewed some Internet ads for us.
