to stop and do some business

Hey, you, usher, come here

So, Gilly,

big baseball fan?

Kind of Yeah? Dad bring you here a lot?

Once a year on my birthday Then

he pays an usher to watch me

Oh, I see

Look, you have

to understand

My father,

in his own childhood,

was without

a positive male influence

Huh?

His own father kicked

him out when he was 15,

so my Dad was taught to see

child-raising as a job, a burden,

a prison,

rather than a playground

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

You don't talk like a kid

Yeah, well, I'm not really

a kid You're not a duck

This is a memory

of when I was a kid

I'm 35 now

I have kids of my own

You don't really

even exist

You're an amalgam

A what?

A combination of several ushers

my dad left me with over the years

I've combined them into one memory Why?

This was a great symbolic

moment of my life,

my father dumping me

with you

It's why I swore things would

be different with my kids

That's my dream

Strong, happy,

confident kids

That's great That's great You

know, you got a lovely family,

and I'm a goddamn amalgam

Gil?

Who's that?

That's my wife

Nice

Gil

Nothing I was a little

tense before but now

No, no I mean with Kevin Why are

we going to see his principal?

Oh, because his teacher said

he's been making that face again

What? This?

Yes The tense face

He makes that same face

at Little League

You know what

his teacher asked me?

What?

If we'd ever taken him

for a psychiatric evaluation

What?

She was just asking

Why, because

he makes a face?

Has she ever

looked in the mirror?

You know, the face,

the crying, the nervousness

They mentioned

the crying?

Yeah You know, he doesn't

really finish his work

Hey, we'll talk to them on Monday

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine

that really pisses me off

Kid's a little different, a little

special, needs a little more attention,

teacher's gonna put a

label on him "Problem kid"

When we go see

Kevin's principal,

let's find out who his

teacher is gonna be next year

one of these hysterics!

great He can't be that much of a problem
