[Man]
Well, I'm packin' my grip
Think I'll take a trip
Think I'll leave today
No, I'd better stay
Well, oh, well, oh, well
oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
[Man On Radio] All of you listening
to me out there realizes that...
Communism is the avowed enemy
of the free world.
- [Explosion]
- [Continues]
Today, fourth June, 1953,
at the Nevada test site...
a thermonuclear device was...
Well, oh, well, oh, well
oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
Goin' to stay right here
[Man #2 On Radio]
A solid marriage is one of the most...
wonderful things in the world.
My gal won't wait for me
[Chorus Singing Jingle]
Drink Bubble Up, Bubble Up
Kiss of lemon
Kiss of lime
[Man #3 On Radio] And now, my friends,
a new hit record among my souvenirs...
backed with "God Bless America"
by Connie Francis.
White Rain
White Rain shampoo tonight
Tomorrow, your hair
sunshine bright
- [Static]
- [Woman]
A new love for you
[Girl]
I can save you money, here's a tip
So many ways to use me and free
[Giggles]
[Woman]
From kids to dad and mother
The family all approved
[Man]
To dad's delight the price is right
For the newest Easter shoes
[Chorus]
Refinery fresh to each station every day
Higher octane for power
the Oklahoma way with
Oklahoma
I said Oklahoma
The best gasoline you can buy
[Woman]
It's time to wake up, it's time to go
It's time to get rolling
It's time for the show
[Man]
Keep your eye up high
[Woman]
Keep your ear to the ground
- [Continues]
- [Man] Hey, kid.
Don't touch the car, will ya?
[Boy Narrating] If I'd walked out
of the showroom right then...
none of this would've happened.
You should be in school. Scram.
But I didn't leave,
and nothing was the same after that.
How much is this one?
This one?
About 50 more years on your paper route,
sonny. That's how much.
And that works out to...
Now, beat it!
I presume you'd consider
lowering the price if I paid you in cash.
The money's legitimate, gentlemen.
- You heard him. Keep out of this.
- Oh, right.
Kid might've murdered his parents.
- But to Mickey, a sale's a sale.
- Will you both shut up.
[Sighs]
You got five minutes to explain
before I call the cops, kid.
My name is George Devereaux.
I'm 15.
I live on the Upper West Side
with my parents and my half brother.
This afternoon, my mother returned home
a day early from a trip to the shore.
Mrs. Devereaux. We weren't
expecting you until tomorrow.
A lady should never do
what anyone expects of her, Henry.
[George Narrating] My parents'
marriage is not what you'd call seamless.
[Elevator Bell Dings]
Holy shit.
Yep.
[Narrating]
My father's a band leader.
Normally, he's better dressed than this.
His stage name is Dan Devereaux.
You might've heard of him.
Although his real name is Dan Hamilton.
He's from Paris, Texas...
- not Paris, France.
- [Singing, Indistinct]
He made a lot of money
off a song he wrote called...
My one and only
The only thing louder
than its arrangement is its irony.
My father is an artist...
with all the strengths
and weaknesses that implies.
- [Knocking On Door]
- [Man] Dan, two-minute call.
- Comin'.
- As much as my father's life...
relies upon improvisation...
my mother's life is guided
by a large number of aphorisms.
Sayings.
Like, for example...
[Mrs. Devereaux]
What you do while you're in a room...
- You don't wanna go in there.
- is never as important as how
you enter or leave it.
- [Screams]
- Please. Don't get up.
- This isn't what it looks like.
- Really? Well, what does it look like, child?
