You have an evaluation period.

If he needs psychiatric help,

the court can order it!

Courts can do sh*t for me!

Get him on Lithium, Prozac. All

I'm saying is maybe that's...

He ain't gonna get better!

My daddy ain't gonna get better.

I'm sorry, I...

I didn't mean to upset you.

It's all right.

Am I in your spot?

Oh, Jesus!

Come on, Leeanne.

'Course I didn't forget.

I'm sorry. I was not screwing

around! I had a meeting!

Why'd you always assume...?

I'll be with you in 15 minutes.

Yeah, I'm comin'.

Dad! You're late! Again!

I'm sorry, darlin'.

How are ya?

I'm sorry, Jeff.

In we go. Squeeze up.

There you go.

- You look like sh*t.

- Leeanne!

- Forgot to shave.

- Don't start.

Same shirt as last night,

isn't it?

We're good to go.

Say goodbye to your mom.

Bye-bye, angels.

I love you both.

Listen, guys, I let go your

hands, will you behave?

- Maybe!

- C'mon.

Listen, you want anything?

Just... Hey, listen.

You want one of these wheel

things? OK, you choose one.

Can I have one of these...

I'll have two.

OK, listen, look at this.

What is this?

You wanna get over here?

Look at this guy, he's somethin'

else, isn't he? Look at this.

Yeah?

Yeah, put him on.

Come on, Jack. Did I just

step off the banana boat?

I don't give a rat's ass.

It's not even in the ball park.

Get outta here.

When you guys land back

on Earth, give me a call.

Oh, yeah, and thank you.

Libby? Jeff!

Libby!

Jeff! Excuse me.

I thought I lost you guys.

It's starting again.

Well, where's the Benadryl?

Mom's got it.

It's the cats.

I thought you weren't

supposed to play with cats?

I was just petting them.

I tried to warn him,

but no-one listens to me.

I know that, honey.

Well, I guess we shouldn't tell

your mom too much about this.

Why?

Well, we don't wanna upset her.

I don't like to lie.

You don't have to lie,

but Jeff's still sneezing...

So?

Out you come.

I'm real sorry I was late.

- Love you.

- Love you too.

Mom, Dad took Jeff to the pets.

Take your Benadryl.

For God's sake, Rick.

What?

I've warned you about pet shops.

Leeanne, they were just there.

He's allergic to cats.

What?

Should I keep him on a leash?

Keep yourself on a leash.

Look at you.

- What?

- I can smell her on you.

Well, I can smell something

on you, Leeanne.

Good morning, Cassandra.

Good afternoon.

I know. Hi, Konnie.

Mr Whittaker called.

Mr Howard rang again

for a response

on the Jensens case.

And Judge Russo asked

about golf.

Tell Howard I haven't heard yet

and make Russo sweat a little.

- And can I have some...

- What? What?

Coffee. Same shirt?

I didn't notice.

Jim, we haven't seen

all we're gonna have.
