Problem Child Page #3

- Look what he did in art class! Skeletons!

- Headless corpses.

- Monsters devouring human flesh.

All right, look!

I don't claim to be some kind

of brilliant psychologist. I'm not.

All I'm saying is

maybe all the child needs is to be loved.

Let's cut the crap, Mr Peabody!

Either Junior goes

or you find yourself some new nuns.

No, no, please, don't hyperventilate.

Just take a deep breath and relax.

The only way we can straighten this out

is by hearing what Junior has to say.

I'm sorry, sisters.

Please, please don't make me

lift those heavy stones

and please don't make me

scrub those dirty toilets.

I just want to be a good boy. I promise!

You see that? He said he's sorry.

Please, give me another chance. I just want

to learn my lessons and do my studies.

So I can be smart and become a priest!

There! You see that? A priest!

A priest! It's like a nun with a jacket.

It's a boy nun! He wants to be a boy nun.

Let me tell you something.

It takes a big man to admit his mistakes.

And there is a big man!

It is in the opinion of myself

and my agency of which I represent

that Junior will not be removed

from this orphanage.

Removed? What do you mean, removed?

Don't worry about it.

The nuns made a suggestion you might

be happier outside of the orphanage.

- What's so funny?

- You are, you stupid dick.

He's wicked!

You're not saying you'd rather not be

in the orphanage, are you?

Think much, pea brain? I want out!

You see, Mr Peabody?

The child is incorrigible!

I'm what? Why don't you speak English, lady?

Look, maybe...

- Uh, maybe...

- What the child is trying to say is...

Maybe if I shrug and move my hands like this,

people will think I know what I'm talking about.

It's obvious that the kid's unbalanced.

I knew that from the start.

I was playing devil's advocate.

Devil, you know...

Anyway, on behalf of myself and the agency,

this child is going to be removed

from this orphanage as soon as possible!

Well, hurry the hell up!

I'm not getting any younger!

There's Ed and Sally and little Joey going

into the Whites'. There must be a party.

Look at her dress. That's a new...

I've looked all over for shoes like that.

- Wonder why we weren't invited.

- Same reason we weren't invited to the rest.

You can't go to a kids' party without a kid.

Being a parent is power and once you're

in that circle you keep everyone else out.

Flo, being a parent is about sharing.

It's about a mom, a dad and a kid.

Except there isn't going to be a kid, Ben.

It's just you and me forever.

- Why can't we adopt?

- We've been through this!

I know, but we have so much love to give.

Why waste it on these stupid pets?
