But Mr. Ziff,

You've Just Got

To Meet With Her.

She's Industrious,

Clever, And Very Bright.

Trying To Get You

An Internship.

Oh! Ok!

Well, Please

Think About It.

And Thank You

For The Interview.

You'll Be The Cover Story

Of The Next Milford Weekly.

So I Guess You're

Feeling Better.

I'm Feeling Great.

And I Almost Got You

A Meeting

With Mr. Raymond Ziff,

The Owner Of The Ziff

Chain Of Department Stores

And A Very Prominent Lawyer.

Oh, Yeah, That's What

I'm Gonna Be--

A Lawyer

And A Department Store

Owner.

Don't Sell Yourself Short,

Jamie.

You Can Be Anything.

If My Parents

Had Told Me That,

Who Knows?

I Might Be Running

The New York Times Now

Instead Of The Milford Weekly.

I Know You're Gonna

Get Into Magnet Somehow.

Did You Bring Me The Poem

From Your English Class Yet?

Oh, No, Not That.

Yes. I Want To Publish It.

Right...

Right...

Jamie:
Mom Treated

The Milford Weekly

Like One Of Those Family

Christmas Letters

Where Parents Bragged About

Their Kids And Stuff.

Grover's Corner.

The Only Difference Is,

Mom Got People

To Pay For The Ads.

Everyone Loves To Read

Your Stuff, Jamie.

They Know

How Special You Are.

People Ask Me All The Time,

"Is She Gonna Be A Lawyer,

A Doctor,

Or Even A News Anchor?"

Maybe We're Not Doing

Enough To Help You.

We Want To Give You

Every Opportunity

To Succeed, Honey.

College And Beyond--

What A Great

Future You Have

Ahead Of You.

And We Can't Wait

To Watch.

Mm-Hmm!

Aah!

[Sighs] You Can

Quote Me, Brad.

Anyway, I Hope

You're Having Fun

Doing Whatever You're Doing.

I'm Here...Working.

Ha Ha. Bye.

Eech.

Anyway,

Don't Get Me Wrong.

I Know This Is

Kind Of Weird,

But I Loved My Parents.

And They Really Wanted

What Was Best For Me,

And That's Great, Ok?

Now, I Already Told You

That I Was Lost

But I Didn't Know It.

I Did Know Something

Was Wrong, Though,

But I Thought Maybe It Was

Just My Science Fair Project.

[Tap On Door]

Hey, Kiddo.

Hey, Dad.

So How's It Goin'?

Pretty Good.

Pretty Good.

Need Any Help?

Uh, No.

That's Ok.

All Right.

That's Probably

For The Best.

The Truth Is,

I Really Wouldn't

Be Much Help

With This Science

Stuff. Woof.

You Know, I Was

Only Good At One

Thing In High School.

What Was That?

Photography.

No, Wait. How Come

When You Take Those

Pictures Of Me And Mom,

We're Usually, Like,

Way Out Of Focus?

Because

I Had To Give It Up

A Long Time Ago.

You Know, Art

And Music, Photography

Just Weren't

Both:
Part Of The Plan.

[Growls]

Well, I Think

It Looks Like

A Winner.

I Think It's Gonna

Be The First Of Many,

Many Blue Ribbons.

Right?

Yeah. Well,

We'll Know Friday Night.

Yeah, We Will.
