program since you were 9 years old.

You're gonna play USC football,

graduate...

...and then you'll manage this business

with me. Your future's set.

So don't mess with the plan. All right?

Wouldn't think of it.

There's another customer.

Go make them happy.

Yes, sir, here's your car.

Well, you need a wax.

- Excuse me?

- I meant the car.

Oh, fine.

- Austin.

- Hi.

- We need our cars washed.

- Yeah, look.

Dirt.

One second, ladies. All right.

Take this inside when you're done.

Thank you very much.

Oh, my God, he is an angel.

- He's so cute.

- I know.

So who'd you guys pay to make

your cars so dirty?

Excuse me? Like, what are you,

the dirt police?

Yeah. The dirt police.

Like, excuse me, miss, do you know

how fast your dirt was going?

You should have stopped

with the dirt police.

You should get going,

because our mom's looking for you.

- Well, where is she?

- She's at home, baking.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes.

Oh, my... Did you finish your errands?

Because I need you to head to the diner

and take the night shift.

Tonight's my night off and it's

the Halloween dance at school, so...

I know, but you need to stop being so

self-centered and start thinking of others.

Others need you to go to the diner

and mop the floors tonight.

But I really need to go to this dance,

Fiona. I have to.

You need to earn your tuition money

for college.

You gotta bus a lot of tables.

I'm a straight-A student. I work seven days

a week and I'm taking extra AP classes.

I never asked you for anything.

Please let me go to this dance.

Sweetheart, now that you're

old enough...

...there's something I've always wanted to

tell you, and I think you're ready to hear it.

You're not very pretty,

and you're not very bright.

I'm so glad we had that talk.

- Man, you...

- Scoot over, bro.

- See if we can get a bigger table.

- Move over.

You're in my way.

It must be Halloween. Look what just

flew in. The wicked witch of the Valley.

I'm gonna be picking up Gabriella

and Brianna at the Halloween dance.

- I'll be back by 12 sharp.

- Okay.

Still got room in there, huh?

Well, if it isn't little Betty Crocker

from the 'hood.

Don't you have something to do,

like cleaning toilets?

You know, I would, but I'm too busy

running this place. But be my guest.

I'm sorry, I can't, because I just got

a $ 150 manicure. Silver palm trees.

Keep it up, Fiona, and I'm gonna find

a place to put my $6 pedicure.

Where are your skates?

That's part of the uniform.

Fiona, if I wanted to look like a clown,

I'd join the circus.

If you were part of my circus, I'd have you

clean elephant butts with a Wet One.

- I don't think you realize that I could...
