Fun with Dick and Jane Page #3

I don't know what to tell you.

We're just a cell in a much larger

organism called the global economy.

Weak companies have to die so that

stronger companies can get stronger.

- It's just nature.

- Nature? What?

You ever read Walden Pond?

It's all in there.

Hey, you send him a copy

of the tape.

What about the other employees, sir?

They're gonna be fine.

Don't go there.

This is America,

the land of opportunity.

I don't know, sir. With all due respect,

this doesn't feel right.

Step away from the rotors now, boy.

They gonna chop your head clean off.

Honey? I'm home.

Oh, and the vice president is home!

I see you got them digging

the hot tub.

I know. Yes, I called the guy.

They came right out.

- That almost never happens.

- I know. We're so lucky.

Dinner's ready!

- Look at it!

- Oh, my gosh!

Look! I did it and it's perfect!

My gosh! That could feed

a family of four.

I mean.... I-- In my--

Look at that, Billy.

I'm surprised you left off the hooves.

You know, before we get into that,

I have some wonderful news.

Mama quit her job!

- I did. I did, I did!

- You did?

- Isn't that great?

- My gosh! That's incredible!

Oh, the timing of it, it was just

beautiful, Dick. And, oh, thank you.

I just-- I just did it!

No. Oh, boy.

And now, you know what...

...I can spend so much more time

with my beautiful boy.

- Yeah.

- Now, what's your news, big Mr. VP?

I have something

of an announcement to make.

It turns out that a very wonderful

opportunity has just presented itself...

...in the form of me...

...not necessarily working

at Globodyne anymore.

Were you fired?

I wasn't fired. Globodyne tanked.

- Dick!

- Jeez. "Fired."

What do you mean?

How could that happen?

They just gave you

a promotion. And--

There is nothing to worry about.

I'll get my severance...

...money from my pension.

We're fine.

I am a winner.

Billy, tell your father he's a winner.

See?

- Hey! Our first day at home together.

- Hey.

Let's have a big family breakfast.

Oh, gosh, honey,

Billy's already gone to school...

...and I gotta meet him for that

Mommy & Me lunch thing.

What are you gonna do?

Are you gonna look for a job?

You know what,

I think I might just take this day.

Great. I do. I think you should.

But, listen, I gotta go pick up

that thing at the thing.

Baby, I gotta go. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Okay, good.

I'll see you later, baby.

Have a really good time.

Bye.

Okay.

Cheers.
