If you see the Riddler or

the [raising voice]

Catwoman, you and Chief

O'Hara should...

It's really funny actually.

It's just something I love

doing. Anyhow, uh...

I've decided that my next

movie... hopefully...

There's a lot of steps

involved in this.

I'm gonna be doing some

research.

And the research I'm

doing, I'm gonna be talking

to, uh, parents, uh,

coaches, and uh...

everybody involved with

my kids baseball team.

Like a documentary on the,

the uh... the benefits of

SFV-LA baseball for, for

young children...

Documentaries are big

right now.

No, it's, it's a comedy.

A comedy.

Like a "how to" video for

parents if they wanna get

their kids into SFV-LA

baseball?

And the benefits of

learning how to be a

team member, and the

fundamentals of,

of building blocks for uh,

becoming a responsible

citizen and a good adult.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that would be good.

You know... a little change

of the subject here.

Your nanny is so

ridiculously beautiful.

I don't even know how

you... wow!

Well, Angela's the charge

of my, my son, Bennett.

There's nothing sexual

about her.

Oh, there's something very

sexual about her. Yeah...

Sorry I brought that up.

Okay.

All right, see you guys

later.

Okay, just stay off the

field, though. Please...

I'm not going back on, I

know 'cause you water it...

We water it and then we do

the chalk.

Stay off the diamond, Max.

I'm not going on the

diamond.

I don't think that's such a

great idea.

It'll be fun to spend time

with the crazy parents.

I don't know about that,

dad.

I... that's exactly what I

was just gonna say.

I... listen, I would not opt

to be with these people

on purpose, you know...

Well, you know, it's part,

it's the hard part

of my job. It's the

research.

It's the down-and-dirtiness

of comedy,

is figuring out what you're

gonna write about.

Sometimes grownups get

really weird.

Grownups always get

weird. Always.

Not sometimes.

They're just weird.

Just think, "people are

weird. " They're weird.

What if I told you

another little secret?

She's a bit weird.

I'm a bit weird!

You have weird parents.

You're not weird yet.

I don't want you to think

that all grownups are insane.

Well actually,

they are all insane.

Don't trust anybody over

the age of, of...

No, actually, ten.

Ten. Don't trust a 13-year-

old, they're too worldly.

'Cause they all have their

own phones and...

That's when it all breaks

loose.

By the way, we're not

doing that with him.

No, we're not doing that

with you.

You know that, right?

Yeah, you have friends now

who have phones, don't you?

Yeah, I know.

That's a bunch of crap.

Not gonna happen.
