Make me happy, make me smile

Maybe I'll sing you

a lullaby

Look who decided to show up.

You did it again, my God.

Are you serious?

- Yeah, here's the old man.

See you later.

- See you later, man.

Did you win?

No.

I thought I told you

to stay away from those bums.

I was just coming home

from football practice.

I don't care where you're coming

from. It's where you're going

that matters.

And I don't want you

with those bums.

Can you understand that?

Yeah, I understand.

I'll just have to stop talking

to everyone I ever grew up with.

Am I going crazy here?

No. Football practice

was yesterday.

Dumb is dumb

and there ain't

nothing dumber.

That's what your daddy used

to tell him and I can see why.

[O'Brien] Dumb is dumber

and there ain't nothing dumber.

Turned off

the electric again.

I thought you paid

it last week.

I didn't have the money

to pay it last week.

I'll pay it in the morning.

You want me to get

you some dinner?

You go ahead without me.

I'm going to sleep.

What's the matter with him?

He's getting old.

He's not making as much

money as he used to.

He'll be back at Smiley's

if we don't keep an eye on him.

I saw the sun and felt a

chill

You're back in town

Looking scared

and beautiful

And asking if I'm around

Those demons you're running

from

Just leave them and head

for the sun

When the world

stopped turning

I kept it burning

Tonight our song begins

again

Another dance

for me and you

One more chance

to see it through

I could swear I'm not

missing...

That's pretty.

No, the lyrics aren't right.

They're too sad.

People like things

that are more positive.

And when was the last time

you bought a CD?

I don't have to buy one

to know what people like.

- You got any money?

- What do you think?

We don't have enough

to pay the rent.

Gramps gets paid tomorrow.

I already included that

and we still don't have enough.

So what do you want me to do

about it?

Nothing. You never do

anything anyway.

You're the one that's got

all the hidden money.

[sneezing]

Hey, you want some pepper?

Why don't you just take a long

walk off a short pier, jerk.

This is really getting

on my nerves.

Just ignore them.

They're just being stupid.

Did you guys hear

the news yet?

Now what?

CDS Television is having

a best music video contest

with the finalists singing on

national television for

one million dollars.

And the Wiggies have already

started rehearsing for it.

What? Let me see that.

- And it gets even worse.

- What?

Well, you have to make your own

music for the video and

you know whose music

the Wiggies are using?

- Whose?

- Mark's.

- My brother?

- They start rehearsals
