[ Sighs ]

I just don't

understand.

I'll let him explain it

to you. Can you take him

to the airport in the morning?

Sam's getting

on a plane?

He joined the scholastic

decathlon team. They're

competing in New York.

Sam joined a team?

Yeah, I think there's

a girl involved.

Oh.

Look. Can you

pick him up at 8:30?

I gotta go,

'cause I'm on call

tonight.

Jack, please don't be late.

I don't want him to have to

take a taxi again.

All right. Okay.

I'll be there. Okay?

I'll be there.

[ Sighs ]

[ Woman On P.A. ]

This morning's weather staff

meeting has been moved...

to level 4, conference room "B."

[ Woman Continues, Indistinct ]

Jack!

I know you have an innate

talent for rubbing people

the wrong way, Jack,

but why, for the love of God,

would you aggravate

the vice president?

Because my 17-year-old kid

knows more science

than he does.

Perhaps, but your

17-year-old kid does not

control our budget.

It doesn't matter

if he hates you.

My son doesn't hate me.

You're missing the point.

What I'm trying

to tell you is that...

if Raymond Becker pulls

our budget-- Where--

Oh, sh*t!

Jack!

[ Horn Beeping ]

Oh, my God.

[ Horn Beeping ]

Hi, Sam.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Dad, it's fine.

The cab's already here.

That's okay.

I'll take care of it.

What are you gonna--

Here you go.

[ Jack ]

I'm not angry.

I'm disappointed.

[ Sam ] Do you wanna

hear my side of it?

How can there be two sides?

I got every question right

on the final.

The only reason Mr. Spengler

failed me was 'cause I didn't

write out the solutions.

Why not?

- I do 'em in my head.

- Did you tell him that?

I did.

He didn't believe me.

He said that if he can't

do them in his head,

then I must be cheating.

Well, that's ridiculous!

How could he fail you

for being smarter than he is?

That's what I said.

You did?

- How'd he take it?

- He flunked me, remember?

Oh. Yeah.

Sam, I'm sorry.

I jumped to conclusions.

I'm gonna call this guy,

have a word with him.

We're gonna get

this whole thing

straightened out.

Don't worry about it.

Sam!

Sam!

[ Man ]

Parker, this is Houston.

We're seeing

some bad weather

over Canaveral.

Doesn't look like

you're coming back

this week.

[ Chuckles ]

Your wife's gonna

give me an earful.

[ Chuckles ]

Roger that.

[ Man #2 ]

Hey, come take a look

at this storm system.

It's enormous.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Thunderclap ]

You all right?

He's afraid of flying.

I'm fine.

[ P.A. Dings ]
