Okay, all right. Gimme a hug.

See you, Dad!

Bye-bye, J-man

I love you, Dad.

Love you too, kiddo.

Hey, listen up we'll stay at my house next time. OK?

OK! I'll get tickets to a Braves' game.

And Brad, remember what we talked about:

Selfcontrol. All right?

Need any help with anything, Mom? Well...

now that you mention it...

After the divorce, Jeff and I helped Mom with her new business.

Sort of a high class traveling boutique.

Well, maybe helped isn't exactly the right word.

Oh, Ellen, these things are exquisite!

You never find styles like this in St. Louis.

Well, it is direct from California. Beverly Hills.

This is what everyone is wearing.

Look at this. Boys? Boys!

Hide and seek?

Count.

One...

Now, Ellen, I don't want to see anything in double-digits.

Oh, honey, everything in California runs small.

Go ahead. Just try it on.

Brad, would you please calm down?

He's barking like a dog, for goodness sake!

Now look.

Don't take this the wrong way

you know I wouldn't say this to you if we weren't friends

but have you considered an exorcist?

You know, I think you might have to face.

the fact that you're a size 12.

I can cut the label, if it makes you feel better.

It's a new doctor let's just listen to what he has to say.

I know what he'll have to say.

Do you feel any anger toward your mother, because of the divorce, Brad?

No. No.

Do you resent your father because he doesn't live with you anymore?

No.

Do you blame yourself for the divorce, Brad?

It happened when I was a little kid, I don't even remember it.

Mrs. Chen, Brad has some serious denial issues regarding the divorce.

What he needs at home are some clear boundaries.

He needs to understand that this behavior is totally unacceptable.

And that, Mrs. Cohen, is your job.

The hardest part was knowing how tough I made things for Mom.

I tried as best as I could for her.

Make sure he keeps taking his medication, OK?

And for Dad?

Strike three!

I played sports.

On the ball field, I fit right in.

I mean, everybody makes

funny noises and has strange tics at a baseball game.

Go, Bobo!

Come on, Brad!

Thank you very much.

All right. What can l get you?

Hey, guys. I got something pretty exciting to tell you.

Honey, don't eat so fast. You're gonna get the hiccups.

He's always got the hiccups.

You're a hiccup!

Listen, hey! Would you just relax? .

Mom says you're not taking your meds.

How are you ever...how are you ever going to calm down

if you don't do what the doctor tells you to do?

Pills just make it worse.

Oh I see. So you're a doctor now, too?

He's Dr. Bobo.

Shut up!

All right, guys, let's eat, guys.

I have a very important announcement to make.
