he was a kid, he wasn't this funny

Stayed in his room all day Boy, you

were a moody little son of a b*tch

Gee, I wonder why?

Do you remember that little

guy who wouldn't leave my side?

I know

Well, now, you know, if I take a step

towards him, he just takes a step away

I don't know what's

happening to him, you know

He's just so unhappy

and he won't talk to me, and

I don't know how to help him

Did you ever consider

having Ed talk to him?

Are you kidding?

He won't even acknowledge

he's got these kids,

now that he's got his new wife

and his new kids!

He won't even fix

my kids' teeth anymore

He says it makes him

uncomfortable

Please

Yeah, I wish he'd drop

his drill down his pants

Are you seeing anybody?

Well, Garry's biology teacher

asked me out

Biology? That's promising

No, no, no, no He's not

the type I usually go for

"The Penal Colony

by Franz Kafka"

Hey, Nathan,

Mock if you will

All right

Our children are more capable of retaining

and absorbing information than we are,

and yet we insist on treating

them like adorable little morons

What are you saying, Patty

can learn things I can't learn?

Ninety-three

They're like sponges, Gil,

just waiting to absorb

I want this

Taylor It's too late Work on Justin

Actually, Justin is quite bright In

his preschool class, he was the only

Slow down, Justin

I'll get you some dip

Oh, you remember that guy you went

out with in college? Jeffrey Sanders?

You know, you always chased me out

of the room whenever he came over

Oh, yeah

I saw him today

God, what a loser, huh?

In a Rolls

I meant me

What is that?

Oh, Nathan and Patty and I

are power-eating

We bring our own

food everywhere

He turned me onto it,

and I never felt better

Where do you

get that stuff?

This is it Everybody in the living

room This is the big surprise

Okay, Frank

Oh, Larry My baby

You look great

Dad!

How are you, son?

Oh, boy

Great to see you!

Sh*t

Well put

Who's that? Wait a second,

I've got something for you

That's my kid brother

Larry Your uncle

Don't give him

any money

I won't

Just a little something for

being the best dad in the world

I found it a couple of months

ago It's for your collection

A toy car!

Oh, this is great

A Stutz!

Yeah, you got it Spend

it on the people you love,
