That's the bitter truth.

Can i keep these?

For ten bucks.

Keep the trust.

I'm sorry i'm late,

honey. I had to finish up.

I ate with the kids.

Well, i brought dessert!

Thanks. You know i'm on a diet. Open it!

Ta-da!

Have you eaten? I'm not hungry.

I'll fix something later.

Dinner's still warm.

Listen, i invited donny

to the party on sunday.

You know, he and sheila have been

speaking, or at least she called him.

Are you crazy? She only called him

because he was late with the alimony.

So how are the kids?

Well, jimmy

needs braces.

Dentist says he has an

overlapping bite or something.

- Will they hurt?

- I'm not really concerned whether it will hurt or not.

Well, if he needs braces, honey,

get him braces.

Just like that? Yeah, just like that.

So we'll go another year without

a hot tub. We can use the larsons'.

Yeah, sure, and when

we need a new car,

we can borrow the murphys', and i

can borrow my sister's cuisinart...

and sally's microwave,

and, hey, you know what?

Kathy just got a new video

recorder. Cost her a thousand bucks.

She says it'll do

anything she wants.

Well, for that price,

it should go down on her.

Very funny.

Did you talk to jerry?

So where's the salt?

You didn't, did you?

Don't we have any salt

in this house? Bobby.

Amy, i told you.

I am not letting the guy go.

I don't care

how slow things are.

He's got a wife

and kids.

And what do you have?

Maybe if you'd gone into a real

business like a normal person.

It's on the stove.

No wonder we never have

any money.

Amy, look,

i love that business.

I'm proud of it.

Work damn hard at it.

We'll make out okay.

Haven't let you down yet,

have i?

So, who in the hell

needs a hot tub?

We can use the bathtub.

Speaking of which,

why don't you and i...

go upstairs and take

a bath together?

You say we can use a little

bit of adventure in our lives.

I'm really not in the mood

for a little adventure.

Some kind of lousy mood you're

in. Did you get your period today?

No, i did not get

my period today.

Every time i'm in a lousy

mood, you think i got my period.

I wish.

I'd buy stock in tampax

and retire.

There is nothing

that means more to me...

than this family.

Not even

some stupid hot tub.

I have to clean up.

What are you guys still doing

up? You know what time it is?

Mom said we could stay up

till the next commercial.

Yeah?

Well, you can't.

'Cause you're under attack.

It's bombs away.

Oh! Hey!

I want you to give your sister

some, you hear me, cowboy?

Come on, you two.

March. Up.

- Did you guys hear the joke about the two lima beans?

- Don't worry about it.

Because it's bedtime,

isn't it, daddy?
