and stupid-looking you are?

Huh? Do ya?

Huh?

Answer me!

- Yes

- Yes, what?

- Yes, I do know how fat

and stupid-looking I am.

- I feel a whole lot better.

- Are you happy now?

- Excuse me?

- I said, "Are you

happy now, a**hole?"

- You dumb

- Ah!

- I think it's time

somebody taught you

a little something

about respect.

- Eat sh*t!

- Oh, not a bad idea.

- No! No!

No!

- You wanna be a hero?

- No!

- Here's your reward.

You now have something

to wash it down.

- No!

No! No! No!

- Joey!

Joey!

- See you in school, champ.

- Joey, are you okay?

- Your arm.

- Hey!

Hey!

Where you going?

Oh, honey.

Look at...

oh sweetie.

How'd your hair

get all wet, huh?

- Cockroach?

Did one of your water balloon

fights get out of hand again?

- Tell me what happened, Joey.

- Yeah, Joey, tell

me what happened.

- Would you just get out?

- Come on, sweetie,

tell me what happened.

You don't have to

be embarrassed.

- I'm okay.

- Okay. You sure?

- Dr. Finley?

Dr. Finley?

- I'm right here.

I have to take this, okay?

Just one second.

I'll be right back, okay?

You know, sometimes

I just wanna.

Okay, I'm here

Uh-huh. So how are

the contractions?

Yeah, mm-hm.

And how many centimeters

is she dilated?

- Go to hell.

- What'd you say, you

- Hey, hey, guys!

Guys, come on!

Sorry.

You know, brotherly love.

Dr. Frank, can I

call you right back?

Just one second.

I'll call you right back.

- Time you learned

a little something

about respect, Cockroach.

One of my buddies

recognized your puny mug

from the field yesterday.

Don't go near it!

I'm warning you!

You're just a little bug who

thinks throwing a tennis ball

against the wall is baseball.

It ain't.

It's babyball.

- Joey? Dale?

- Smarten up.

- I wanna talk to you.

- Mom, I didn't touch him.

I didn't...

- I want to talk to you.

Joey, your brother's

just a great, big bully.

And someday, somebody

his own size

is gonna set him straight,

and I hope I'm there to see it.

Honey, until then though,

just ignore him or something.

Don't provoke him.

It just plays into

his hand, okay?

Sweetie, it's gonna be okay.

Honey, I promise,

everything will be okay.

You just take your time.

Take all the time you need.

And then when...

when you're ready,

you just come down

and have dinner with me, okay?

Be waiting downstairs for you.

You know, sweetheart, this is

all just part of growing up.

And sometimes it just isn't fun.

I love you.

I'm gonna take care of Dale.

Dale?

Dale?

Get outta your room and come

down to the kitchen now.

They're at each other

night and day now,

and I don't know what

we're gonna do about it.

- Honey, they're brothers.
