Blockers
(grand orchestral fanfare
playing)
(children chattering playfully)
WOMAN:
It's okay.
You're gonna love it.
Happy first day of school.
Bye, sweetie.
- Hi!
- Hi.
Hey. I'm Sam.
Hi. I'm Julie.
(all giggling)
- Bye.
- Bye, Mom.
(giggling continues)
I'm Hunter.
Sam's mine right there.
The one with the glasses.
I'm Lisa.
That's my Julie.
I'm Mitchell. (sniffles)
Kayla's hero.
Oh, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
- You crying?
No, man, it's a...
big day, that's all.
- Yeah.
- You know, can I have a tissue, please?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you.
- It's a big day for all of us.
- Yeah.
MITCHELL:
Thanks. (sighs)
(sighs, chuckles)
KAYLA:
Come on, let's go!
HUNTER:
I think our daughtersare friends.
- SAM:
I'm so excited!- JULIE:
Me, too.And I think that means
we're friends.
(chuckling)
Should we go get a drink?
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Do you guys want to go get a drink?
Just... Ah, they made it.
You guys want to go grab
a drink real quick?
Is he asking us if we want
to go grab a drink?
I'm really hoping it's coffee.
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
(overlapping chatter)
Is it a dream
keeping you awake?
(indistinct chatter)
- Aah! That's so...
- Shut the f*** up.
Is it the stillness
- Happy Halloween!
- That makes you shake?
(speaking mock Kazakh
a la Borat)
I can see Russia from my house.
- GIRLS:
Red Vines!- HUNTER:
Red Vines!MITCHELL:
Red Vines!
What's on
the ocean's floor...
(cheering)
That's right!
(shouts indistinctly)
(whooping)
Hey, hey, Hunter, get out, man.
(girls squealing)
LISA:
Put your seat belts on!
Oh, my God!
(all screaming excitedly)
- Surprise!
- Surprise!
No way! Thank you, Mom!
Thank you so much! (squeals)
Be careful.
(over phone):
Just walkyour fine ass out the door
I do my hair toss,
check my nails
Baby, how you feelin'?
Feelin' good as hell
Hair toss, check my nails
Baby, how you feelin'?
Feelin' good as hell
Feelin' good as hell
Baby, how you feelin'?
Feelin' good as hell
MAN (over TV):
Absolutely gorgeous out.
these mornings
that we spend together, right?
Stop.
You're gonna make me cry.
And I don't want to cry,
because it's prom night.
And it's supposed to be,
like, the most magical night
of your life, and, you know,
Well, call me
if you feel anxious.
if it wasn't too loud.
I mean, if it was too loud,
you could just...
we could wave or whatever.
(chuckling):
That'd be funny.
And then I can do...
You know what I was thinking?
You should send me photos
throughout the night.
Like, not...
not, like, all night long,
but if you could do it
then I can put together
one of those iBooks.
- That would be so fun.
- Yeah.
That would be a really...
I don't think
(Lisa chuckles)
- Mom?
- Mm-hmm?
Are you gonna be okay
when I go to college?
Who, me?
Yeah.
Me?
(laughs)
What?
Pl-Please.
Don't even get me... (laughs)
Don't even...
- Please.
- (Julie chuckles)
Okay, bye, Mom!
- Okay, bye.
- I love you.
Okay, I love you.
MARCIE:
Oh, good, you did the laundry.
Yeah, and got a totally sleepy,
happy baby.
Full-blown Renaissance man.
- (chuckling):
Oh.- Believe it.
It's a good thing
she's asleep, too.
I was going through
the laundry.
- Uh-huh.
You know what I'm gonna do
with these?
Paging Dr. Muff Diver.
Dr. Muff Diver, you're needed
in the O.R. immediately.
Emergency surgery.
Later on tonight,
with my teeth
like an old-school
cartoon billy goat.
- (grunting, snorting)
- Honey.
Mitchell.
Those are your daughter's.
(retches, spits)
and Bears jerseys,
not some dirty
stripper underwear.
You thought they were mine.
What, am I giving her allowance
in singles?
Go tell her
she can't wear these.
Tell her
they'll make her sterile,
like with the laptop
and my brother's balls.
We're not sure that's what
happened with your brother.
Honey, you're being ridiculous.
Kayla's becoming a woman.
This isn't the time
to tighten your grip;
it's the time to loosen it.
This? This means
we tighten the grip.
This isn't built for comfort;
it's built for speed.
We need to slow it
the f*** down.
The appliances go in
after the backsplash.
We've done it the same way
every time.
(takes deep breath)
Uh-huh. All right,
put him on the phone.
(knocking)
KAYLA:
I'm in the bathroom.
(sighs)
(buzzing)
Thanks.
I was looking for that.
You mind telling me
what this is?
- Uh, fuzz.
- Yeah.
Yeah, fuzz.
That's what I thought it was,
and then upon further
investigation,
it is clearly an unraveled
filter of a cigarette.
Kayla, are you a... a smoker?
What? No.
Not a smoker, Dad.
Hey, haven't you seen the
billions of ads that tell you
- not to do this stuff?
- Dad!
You can't teach someone
not to try things, okay?
That's what trying things
is for... to teach you things.
It's a contradiction.
It's like telling me
not to go for a triple
on a base hit to the gap
when I've made a good turn
around first
and I know that the
right fielder has a weak arm.
Damn it, you're smart.
Okay. Yeah, all right.
Time to get ready
for school, Dad.
Okay, all right.
Julie! Sam!
- Hey, girl!
- (tires squealing)
Whoa!
(laughing)
