You remind me so much

of Amanda.

My little princess.

Sharon hates me.

Oh, no she doesn't.

She does not hate you.

She just gets disappointed

When you do things

like tonight.

I'm disappointed, too.

( WHISPERS )

but I still love you.

Good night, princess.

Why do you

disappoint Sharon, daddy?

( BREATHES DEEPLY )

( SIGHS )

Whoa.

( COUGHS )

Who beat you up last night?

( SIGHS )

( SIGHS ) You look like trash.

No response?

Okay. Cool.

( SNIFFLES )

Oh, yeah. Here you go.

Want some breakfast?

You can have as much

as you want.

I made enough for everybody.

( RETCHING ) What?

( RETCHING CONTINUES )

Okay.

More for me.

( SNIFFLES )

( SNIFFLES )

I actually feel better.

I bet you do.

( CHUCKLES )

just wanna die now.

Well, here's a little

trick I learned.

( SNIFFLES )

( COUGHS )

Peppermint schnapps.

( SIGHS ) Drink some of this.

You'll feel better.

Come on.

( SNIFFLES )

Ooh. Oh, that's good.

( CHUCKLES )

( BREATHING DEEPLY )

I owe you.

Ah, actually,

Funny that you say that.

I, uh...

could use some money right now.

Hmm.

Hmm.

You and everybody else.

Y... What?

What am I supposed

to do with $5?

I can't...

SHARON:
Good morning.

Jay,

Haven't seen you in a while.

What's been keeping you busy?

That was your fault

last night, mom.

What are you talking about?

While you were at your

meeting thing,

I was hittin' the books.

All right, um,

I happen to be free tonight

If you wanna go grab dinner

or something,

Just the two of us.

You're on.

I'll pick you up after practice.

All right.

Bye, baby.

( WHISPERS ) Feel better.

Sharon.

About last night...

I'm sorry.

I guess I just...

makin' a play

for your father's attention?

Again?

I'm just trying to...

Well I'm trying to keep peace

For your father's sake.

Can't you at least do that?

Keep peace?

Mm-Hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can...

I can do that.

Good.

( PHONE RINGING )

( SIGHS )

"Good morning, dad."

Hello, kids.

( CLEARS THROAT )

( SIGHS )

"I'll make you

coffee, dad."

Thank you, honey.

"I'll do the dishes, dad."

Thank you, Jason.

( GROANS )

Make it strong, bill.

Make it strong.

( MUTTERS )

What is that?

Here you go.

Thank you, baby.

You're welcome.

Sharon?

Yeah.

Could we agree

to cut down on some things?

I'm not spending

anything extra.

No, but your lunches and your

dinners with your friends

Really add up.

Maybe if you did something

with a future.?

Lane publishing

was daddy's baby.

But not ours.

Your lobbying job

pays practically nothing.

Well, at least I'm

contributing to society.

I'd like you to contribute

more to our finances.

This house is worth

less than half

Of what we paid for it.

Were are serious
