What, are you kidding me? Sundays?

I love Sundays.

I live for Sundays.

The whole family's together.

Mom makes braciole.

Dad puts the Jersey on.

We're all watching the game. Yeah,

it drives me crazy, and yes,

I was negative. You didn't even know

that I loved it, Nikki, but I did.

I just didn't appreciate

it, or you, before.".

Come on. Time to go.

I lost all that. I blew it.

But you also blew it.

We can get it back.

We're gonna get it back. It's

all gonna be better now.

I'm better now and I hope you are, too.

And I'm gonna appreciate...".

Hey, I'll be there

in a minute, okay?

Doctor's waiting.

Let's go.

I'll be there in a minute.

That's true love.

Yeah, that's when I had long hair. People

say I talk about my hair too much.

And it was just the way I wanted

it, but he cut it back too far.

He cut this side back too

far trying to even it up.

I didn't tell him to do that.

I said, "just cut it the

way you cut it...".

Once you get in the right frame of

mind, I think anything's possible.

I think we get, we so often get caught

in this state of negativity and

it's a, it's a poison

like nothing else.

Dr. timbers:
... technically, you can

take him out against our recommendation,

but you assume a lot of liability

in the eyes of the court.

And he's just getting

used to the routine here.

I don't want him to get

used to the routine here.

Eight months is

already long enough.

Hey, mom. Can we give Danny

a ride to north Philly?

What? I don't understand.

Mom, no, it'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

I guess everybody's

leaving today!

Hello, Mrs. s. An honor

to finally meet you.

Pat told me all about you,

how God made you rich in character,

and you're the mighty oak that holds

the household together, and not to

mention the lasagna you make on game day

when the birds play.

Danny was in for assault because

of crystal meth and alcohol.

Bad combination.

Yeah. On top of an anxiety disorder.

That was when I was an X-ray

technician with my add and my anxiety.

I had a lot of access to

medication and I took advantage of it.

That's when my hair was long, too.

But my hair only grew when I was older.

When I was younger, my

hair didn't grow

because my brother...

Remember I told you about my

brother, he had a jheri curl, and

I couldn't get a jheri curl because

my hair didn't grow long enough.

I was so jealous

of my brother...

But wait a minute, wait a minute.

Hello?

Yeah! It looks great now.

You like it?

No, it's good now.

Yes, it is.

Wait, you're going

the wrong way!

What? Are you sure about that?

I'll bring him back right away.

You lied to me, pat. Danny's

not allowed to leave.

All right, mom,

just hold on a sec.

Let's just talk

about this.

Mom, just listen...

Don't tou-...

Ch the steering... wheel!

Pat, this whole thing

was a mistake.

I'm sorry, mom. You okay?

I am out on a limb for you

with the courts right now.

It's my fault. Pat didn't know.

Pat didn't know. He's my friend,

so he was rootin' for me. I'm havin'

a disagreement with the hospital,

but we're working it out.

Take me back to the hospital,

but take pat home, he's fine.

Trust me. You'll see,

he's fine. It's my fault.

Mom, can we stop at the library?

I wanna read.

Nikki's entire English

high school syllabus.

Mom, it's a good thing.

I'm remaking myself.

Desean Jackson. What

happened to desean Jackson?

Come on, tell me that one.

It's insanity. He spikes the

ball at the one yard line.

The one f***ing-yard line.

I mean, get into the

end zone, dummy.

You know something? It's nothing new.

Your team does that all the time.

They get close... and then they blow it.

They got an inferiority complex.

Wait a minute, what are you talking about?

What makes the cowboys America's team?

Because we are, we're

America's team.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

We're in Philadelphia,

what's the matter with you?

You're a f***ing traitor.

What's more American

than a cowboy?

You know what's more American?

What?

Benjamin Franklin, that's

what's more American.

Benjamin Franklin?

Benjamin Franklin. The founder of

our country, here in Philadelphia.

You mean the guy with the... little

glasses and the long scraggly hair?

What about the lightning with the kite?

He stood in the storm with a kite.

If he wasn't on the hundred

dollar bill, nobody...

Would even know who he is.

What are you doing? No, no, no, no.

Don't touch them, don't touch them.

I didn't even touch 'em. Why

are you..., don't blame me.

Who did this? Who took,

who took, who took the...

The remotes like this?

Did you do this, Randy?

No, I don't touch them. As a matter of

fact, I don't know why you need so many.

Hey, there she is!

Look how beautiful!

What!! Whats this?

Everything good? Mm-hmm.

Ahh.

Where is it?

It's right here.

You got it. Ahh, well, we got that.

We don't want them to steal that.

You still got yours?

Yeah, I got mine.

So what, you don't talk to me? You

didn't tell me you took him out.

Well, he's ready.

Look at him.

You didn't tell dad you

were picking me up?

Don't worry about that. I wanna

make sure when you come out

that you're okay, and she

didn't say anything.

You didn't tell me? The court said yes.

Don't worry.

Yeah, but what did the doctor say? Because

the, the court listens to the doctor.

Yeah, and the court said-the court

listens to the doctor, the doctor-
