that's all.

- You gotta be 18.

- No sweat, I turned 18 last month.

Look, some other time.

Does that mean no?

It means some other time.

If you don't take my word for it,

go ask your dad.

What does he have to do with it?

Go home.

Back, back. Reach, reach, reach.

Take it down, now stretch.

You gotta work that body every day.

Now, come on,

what are you waiting for?

Oh, hi.

- Dinner will be ready real soon.

- Hold it down, hands up.

Side, side, side, side,

side, side, side.

I must be adopted.

Come on, hold that

stomach in, honey. Side, side.

Dad, you know Mike Cody?

What about her?

I went to the Speedrome today to...

- I don't want you to go out there.

- Why?

I just don't, you got it?

Got what? What's going on?

Nothing is going on.

Do you have to resist everything

that I ever say to you?

I'm not resisting you,

I'd like something better than "no."

- You're resisting with that attitude.

- You always turn everything around.

Ah, don't use that Psychology Today

routine on me.

- I'm not in the mood for it.

- Dinner's on.

- Let's go eat.

- I'm not hungry.

Susan, let's eat.

Susan, let's eat!

You don't have to yell.

Why is everyone always yelling at me?

I'm not bothering anyone. I'm sick

of everyone always yelling at me.

Slam, there's a Hungry-Man

dinner in the oven.

Where you going?

- I told you.

- Told me what?

I'm going marketing, honey.

Dressed like that?

Well, I was gonna go naked

but my ass sticks to the car seat.

Bye, honey.

Well, hidey hidey ho, Mikey.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

Hey, Uncle Bob, how you doing?

My back's killing me.

Every time I piss, it burns like

I got a butane lighter stuck up my ass.

Otherwise, everything's just peachy.

How are you?

Making it.

What are you drinking tonight?

I'll have a beer.

You got it.

How's Aunt Winnie?

Oh, hell, she's fine.

I need to ask you a favor.

Shoot.

I need to borrow some money.

Okay.

How much you need, kiddo?

Ten thousand dollars.

Ten thousand?

Hmm. I love you, I truly do, but...

Oh, Winnie would pass a kidney stone

if I loaned you anything like that.

I know, you don't have to explain.

I know I don't, damn it, but I'm...

I'm just sorry.

- You were better off out in California...

- Oh, Bob, please.

Now, listen to me.

You are smart and you are pretty

and you could be or do almost

anything in the world you wanted to,

but no, no, no, not you.

You're gonna hold your head up high.

Let me just tell you something,

when you're neck deep in sh*t,

you got no choice-

- But to hold your head up high.

- But to hold your head up high.

I am my father's daughter.

Quiet down back there.

- Slam.

- Give me another round.
