A Little Help

(Parrot screeching)

Rinse please!

Hi! I'm Laura.

Sorry I'm late.

Parrot:
Late!

I saw you last time

you were here, right?

Man:
Uh, no, maybe

a year or two ago.

Listen, I need to be

at work by...

Don't worry, I'm gonna

get you all polished up

and out of here in no time.

Open up.

(Parrot screeches)

(Drops tool)

Sorry.

Rinse please!

Don't Rinse!

I wasn't going to.

Here, just gonna get

another one of these.

Rinse please!

Shut up!

Okay, open up.

So, any teeth problems?

(Somewhat garbled) Uh, just a

little sensitive to cold sometimes.

To coal?

No, cold.

Oh. I was gonna say...

Flossing regularly?

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh.

Good.

Just don't use that

super-waxy stuff.

I try to tell my husband

that, but he just...

ignores me.

He's, um...

I mean, he's great.

Everything's,

you know... great.

It's just the flossing thing,

really.

But, I mean, I should

really say something, right?

There's so much...

wax on that stuff.

It doesn't scrape

any of the...

(Chokes up)

The plaque?

Parrot:
Rinse please!

Closing at its lowest level

thus far for 2002.

In local news...

a news conference tomorrow

for commemorating

the first anniversary

of the terrorist attacks

of last September 11th.

Though it's been

the World Trade Center Twin Towers

were destroyed in those attacks

cleanup is expected to continue right

up until the ceremonies begin.

Shit!

# Raise your hands up #

# I know you got 'em #

(Honks)

# Down to the bottom #

# Raise your hands #

Laura:
Denny! Dennis!

# I know you got 'em #

Whoa! Ugh!

Hi, honey!

# I'm walkin' in the rain #

# Tears are fallin'

and I feel a pain #

Man on radio:

# Wishin' you were here by me #

# to end this misery #

Dad was supposed

to pick me up.

Yeah, he had

to work late again.

Why?

I don't know.

How was camp?

I saw a girl's tit.

Ooh. How was it?

"How was it?"

I don't know, I just...

She jumped into the pool and her

bathing suit came down for a second.

Besides, she's only eleven,

it wasn't much of a tit.

Still, it's something.

I thought he wasn't going

to work so much this summer.

- Who?

- Dad.

I thought you were gonna start

doing fulltime at the dentist

so he wouldn't have

to work so much.

What happened to that?

I, I haven't...

What's that smell?

What? That's from

like a year ago.

God, you are such

a liar, mom!

Hey. Hey, ow!

Ow! Come on!

That's illegal, you know!

# Wishing you were

here by me #

# to end this misery #

Hey, wanna sing along

to the radio like we used to?

Open the windows!

(Continues barking)

(Dog continues barking)

(Phone rings)

Dennis:
I'll get it!

(Rings)

(Rings)

Dad?

Oh, hi, aunt Kathy.

Fine. Yeah, hold on.

Hello?

What happened?

Nothing.

The phone dropped.

Did you get my message?

No.

About tonight? The barbecue

for the twins' birthday?

Oh, yeah.

Well, gee, thanks so much

for the call back, Laurie.

Don't start. I'm begging you.

But you're all coming, right?

Um, yeah.

When is it?

(Sighs)

(Phone rings)

(Rings)

(Rings)

I'm almost home.

Laura:
My sister and Paul

are having a barbecue.

We have to go.

What? Laura, I'm exhausted.

We have to go. Otherwise,

it's a whole thing.

What is it with these people

and barbecues?

I mean, do they own

a fucking cattle ranch?

We're leaving now,
