Everybody's Fine Page #6

They said the arrest was drug related,

but they won't give me

any more details over the phone.

So I'm gonna try

and get on a flight tomorrow.

Amy, listen, I don't know

if I can lie to Dad

about David when he gets here.

Well, just make up an excuse

to get him to Rosie's.

Say you're flying off to Europe

for a concert or something.

That's too obvious.

I'm not gonna do that.

-Well, think of something yourself!

-Are you okay?

Jeff, come on!

Jeff, come on.

Dad's waiting to take a photo!

Just get it out,

and I'll look at it when I get there.

-All right. Okay, bye.

-I'll take one of you two first.

-Okay.

-All right. Here?

Little over this way.

Okay. Little...

Together. Everybody together.

Together.

-Where's the...

-It's the silver button on top.

-My God. This is film. This is great.

-Smile.

Watch your finger.

Your finger's on the edge.

Yep. Okay! Give me a beautiful...

All right.

You said Jack was

at the top of his class,

-but he says he's not doing that well.

-Well, he was at the top of his class.

He's struggling at the moment,

that's all.

I tell you the good news

and spare you the bad.

Isn't that what Mom used to do for you

when we were kids?

It doesn't matter what your mother did.

Tell me the bad news

as well as the good news from now on.

-Do you understand?

-Fine.

You doing okay at home?

-You doing okay at home?

-Fine.

-You sure?

-Yeah.

Are you sure?

I didn't realize there was

so much to do around the house.

Mom would have loved

to hear you say that.

Yeah.

What was all that at dinner last night

with the chili sauce?

Jeff just doesn't let Jack

get his own way all the time, that's all.

They always fight.

I checked the train times.

There's one in a few hours.

I just gotta drop by the office first.

-Advertising?

-Advertising agency, yeah.

-Your agency?

-Part mine.

Amy. Wait, wait, wait.

To your left a little.

To your left, to your left.

-Okay.

-One more. It's okay.

Just hold on.

-A little to your left. Left, left, left.

-I'm so sorry.

That's it.

-I got it. Yeah.

-You got it?

Yeah, no, that's a fish.

It looks great.

It looks good.

-I think it works perfectly...

-So remind me of the market.

Yep. It's home owners,

blue collar to middle class.

-Like my dad.

-I guess, yeah. Sure.

-I guess.

-Just like your dad. Sure.

So, pitch it to him.

Let's see what he thinks.

Hey, Dad. Come over here.

-Right now? Sure.

-Yeah.

-Hey. Tom.

-Tom? Hi, Tom. Frank.

-Frank, I'm Steph.

-Steph?

-Hi, Dad. "Dad" 'cause of...

-Hi. Frank.

We got a TV commercial.

They're gonna pitch it to you. Okay?

-To...

-Sit down.

-Sit here?

-Yeah.

-In your chair?

-Yeah.

-Now you're in charge.
