- It's nothing.

- It doesn't sound like nothing.

Come on, talk to me.

Dad, I quit.

You quit?

You quit what?

- Yeah, I quit school.

- You quit school? Ugh.

You quit?

Hey, Heather!

Dad, look, college is not for me, man.

I'm gonna join a folk band.

We're called Three Pronged Toe.

Three Prong Toe? No, no.

Yes, I am.

- No, you're not. You're finishing school.

- Dad, I...

- You're gonna finish school first.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are!

- I'm 19, man. I'm on my own.

You're on your own?

Okay, you know what?

You're a real man, right?

Real men finish things, OK?

Real men don't quit.

Real men finish things like...

school, for example. All right?

So here's what's going to happen.

You're gonna go to school on Monday,

and you're going to take your exams,

and you're gonna finish them.

And if you fail anything,

you're gonna take summer school.

- No one goes to summer school anymore.

- I don't care!

Dad, I know

what I want to do with my life.

I want music, not books.

I'm not like you, man.

Stop with the "man" thing, all right?

Stop it, knock it off! All right?

I'm your father.

Yeah, I'm your father.

- Dad.

- What?

- The noodles!

- What?

Oh!

Aww!

Hey, look... Hey!

- This is...

- We're talking about Markie.

- I know.

- He will come around.

It has nothing to do

with coming around, OK?

He's... He's...

Did you hear what was doing?

He's talking

about quitting school, Heather.

He doesn't want to go to school.

He wants to leave

with Three Pronged Hang Nail, whatever...

- It's Three Pronged Toe.

- Whatever it is.

Three Pronged Toe.

And if you would just

calm down and talk to him...

Hey, look,

I am totally calm, all right?

I was calm talking to him, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

No, no, no, no. You didn't...

You talked at him.

You did not talk to him.

- There is a difference.

- I didn't... Look...

Who is that?

It's your mother.

Oh, no. Oh, no, no. Don't...

I don't want to talk to her.

She's gonna talk about the party,

it's all gonna be about the party.

I don't want to talk about...

I don't even want a party.

Is this how you

want Markie to treat us?

Markie's not gonna treat us that way.

No! Don't...

Don't pick... Don't... Don't...

Hello? Yeah, I'm home for now.

Why do we still have a landline?

This is ridiculous.

It was in the bundle.

Yeah, of course,

I'm coming to his party.

Hey, hey! I'm not here.

Yeah. No, yeah, he's here.

Yeah, he's been here the whole time.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah, love you, bye.

It's for you.

Hey, we're not done talking

about that thing that we were

talking about, OK? All right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

No, no, no.

Don't give me that look.
