I'd like to think

I could be of some

value to somebody you know?

Sophia, bye!

Bye Glen.

Yeah baby.

What is it?

Daddy I don't wanna

go to school today.

Do I have to?

No baby.

What do you wanna do?

[Sophia] Can we go

see our old house?

[Glen] Oh sweetheart,

you know that's

not our house anymore.

Another family lives there now.

[Sophia] I know, I just

wanna see it again.

[Glen] Honey, the

last time we went

you complained the whole way.

It's a three hour

walk and I had to

carry you all the way home.

[Sophia] This time

I won't complain.

[Glen] You said that last time.

[Sophia] I won't even ask

to ride on your shoulders.

[Glen] You said that too.

[Sophia] This time I promise,

cross my heart and hope to...

[Glen] Hey, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

[Sophia] Sorry daddy.

[Glen] It's okay.

[Sophia] So can we go?

Please?

[Glen] You really wanna go?

No complaining?

[Sophia] No complaining.

[Glen] No shoulder rides?

[Sophia] No shoulder rides.

[Glen] Alright, let's go.

Daddy I don't wanna

come here anymore.

Okay baby.

Okay baby.

I don't see why we can't

just go back to grandpa's.

This is so lame out here.

They don't even

have electricity.

Or toilets.

We're not welcome at grandpa's.

You're not welcome you mean.

Well we stick together.

I don't see why.

You wanna play

campfire girl, fine.

But do you have to

drag us along too?

Knock it off.

We're a family.

No we're not.

We're two innocent kids

caught in the middle

and you're a f***ing boozer.

Okay look, I can do

this for real okay?

And what better place to do it

than surrounded by all this

beautiful f***ing nature right?!

Okay.

Behave.

Glen hi!

You made it just in time.

I was going all WWF on

this tent and losing.

What?

Let's get to work.

You have got to be kidding me!

So you're gonna start with

dried leaves and pine needles.

And then a bigger branch.

So that as the fire builds...

Why are you doing this?

What?

Come on really?

You don't know us right?

So why all the good

Samaritan sh*t?

Are you trying to get in

my mom's panties or what?

Just trying to help.

Well, just so you know

in the three years

since my dad left she's

had like 100 boyfriends.

She probably has like

chlamydia or something.

I'll keep that in mind.

Now go get some more firewood.

Sh*t.

Four seasons it ain't.

[laughter]

[Little Boy] Uh oh.

[laughter]

Mom I got a joke.

Okay, everybody shh.

Jack has a joke.

Why didn't the

lion eat the clown?

I don't know honey, why

didn't the lion eat the clown?

Because he tasted funny.

What did Jupiter say to Saturn?

Oh Brian.

[Brian] Turn around

so I can see Uranus.

Whoa whoa whoa, blow

it out blow it out.
