WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Esserman to Radiology.
[Ll N E RlNGS]
[PHONE RlNGlNG]
- Hello. - David, hi. It's me.
What's up? You okay?
Noah's hurt. I'm calling you from the emergency room.
What's going on?
It's Donna. Noah's in the hospital.
- Is that Camille? - Yeah. What's going on with Noah?
Well, I ignored his calls like you told me to do,
and he got drunk, broke in, and we all thought he was a burglar.
And Matt went after him.
- You're kidding. - So far he has a concussion
and some bruised ribs.
We're waiting for some tests. If they're clear, I'm gonna take him to my place.
Donna, if the guy broke into your house
because he couldn't get you on the phone, you need some space.
I don't need your second-guessing right now.
I just called because you're his roommate.
I thought you might worry about him.
Uh, I'll-- I gotta go.
[SlGHS]
The CAT scan came back fine. No cranial bleeding.
He may experience some nausea over the next eight hours,
and breathing won't tickle. Just keep an eye on him.
Thanks.
I, uh, was just calling David.
I told him we'll be taking care of Noah for a few days.
- We are? - Mm-hm.
- Okay, uh, I'm gonna go get the car. - Okay.
Matt feels awful.
Well, he shouldn't.
I guess you're right, heh.
Look, I know on principle you could do without Noah around.
- Right again. - But he needs a friend.
How are you guys supposed to get past things
if he's sleeping on our couch?
Kel, David already gave me the lecture.
I appreciate your concern, but no one has anything to worry about,
especially me.
All right. I'll hold you to that.
I'll hold myself to that, thanks.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]
- Hey. - Hey.
I tried to call. The operator said your line was busy.
Yeah, um, come here. Look at this.
- What is all this? - Well, it's detective work.
Steve and I have been online all night
trying to get the phone numbers for the people on this list here.
Dylan, your dad's name wasn't on that list.
No, Jack McKay isn't, but Eddie Waitkus...
That's the name of a guy in a story my dad used to tell me,
and it's no coincidence.
If he's alive, that's the name he's using.
- What did you find out? - Not much.
The people on the plane don't remember him.
- What can I do? How can I help? - I don't know that you can.
I'm beginning to think that somebody or something
does not want this little family reunion to take place.
We can go back to the FBl.
Why? They lied to me once. Their story isn't changing.
I mean, what if he's trying to send me a message
and this is as close as he can get?
Have you tried the flight crew?
Maybe they'd be more apt to remember someone.
Yeah.
[LlNE RlNGS]
OPERATOR [OVER PHONE]: Directory assistance.
Yeah, get me World Continental Airlines.
Hey.
- Ugh. - Careful.
Oh, man, I smell your burnt toast.
Hey, I tried to scrape most of the black stuff off.
That's okay. I kind of acquired a taste for it over the years.
Oh, man, Kelly and Matt must hate me.
Matt feels very guilty.
And Kelly's just Kelly, heh. She'll cool down.
- Aren't you hungry? - No, uh-uh.
Oh, you should try to eat a little bit.
Your ribs could be sore for a couple days.
Hey, wait, wait. Okay.
Just a small bite.
There.
I don't know what hurts worse,
my ribs or watching you take care of me like this.
I want to.
Besides, I have Camille covering the store
so I have plenty of time on my hands.
- Another bite? - No, I'm okay.
Thanks.
I'm sorry about last night.
I guess I had to see you.
Why?
Who knows?
I was drunk.
Noah, you have to get back into AA.
[SlGHS]
I'm serious.
Noah, you promise and you promise,
then somehow you always find reasons to fall short.
You do it again, you're on your own.
Steve-o, you ready for spring--? Oh, God. I'm sorry.
I thought you were Steve. I'm Ryan.
- Hi, I'm Janet. - Hi.
- It's good to finally meet you. - You too.
The door was locked, so I thought I'd come around
- and surprise him. - Oh, well, you got me instead.
Um, he's at the office, but he'll be back in a couple of minutes.
[MADDY BABBLlNG]
Wow.
Surrealism defined.
You know, I never had a niece before.
You go away to school for eight months, some things change, huh?
Yeah, ha, ha.
So, um, how do you like Amherst?
Because I actually thought about going there.
Fine. It's kind of arctic.
So, uh, what's on the agenda for the week?
Well, we were so excited about you coming into town,
we thought about taking days off.
So I thought we'd go to the Getty, and then maybe hit the beach.
STEVE: Ryan! Hey, Mr. Pro! - How you've been?
Buddy! Ha-ha-ha. Oh, this is my little brother.
- Hey, you look great. - You are starting to look like Dad.
Hey, that's grounds for a crotch fire, pal.
Not unless you want a tornado twister.
Not a chance. It's a brother thing.
Right. I'm sure it is.
I was just telling Ryan about our plans for the week.
- Yeah. - Well, you see, I'm all about partying.
All about partying. I wanna go to Sky Bar, Bar Fly, 360, Dressing Room,
Mick Mikitty, After Dark, Dublin's.
Bar Marmont, the Union, the Gate.
How about those? Don't miss out.
That's a lot of bars.
- We're so there. - Right on, pal.
[RYAN CHUCKLES]
I am so happy to stay home with Maddy,
so you guys have a good time.
Honey, you're the best. Head-butt.
Psyche! Come on, man. I wanna show you my dirty pool.
[RYAN CHUCKLES]
I can assure you, Mrs. Sassido, I've handled cases like this.
SASSlDO [OVER PHONE]: I'm talking six figures, how about that?
- Not for six figures. SASSlDO: Thank you.
[LlNE DlSCONNECTS]
Hello?
Unbelievable.
I've made 20 cold calls this morning trying to get new clients.
One lady says my voice sounds too young.
Guy says, "You're not shark enough.'
Other guy says, "What's your name again?" I say Matt Durning.
Says, "l don't trust guys named Matt.'
Hangs up on me. Can you believe that? Hung up.
At this point I'm considering hara-kiri.
- I think that pencil's sharp enough. - Huh?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh. Ha, ha.
Yeah, I guess it is.
[CLEARS THROAT]
- So, anyway, what's up with you? - Oh, heh, nothing.
Tell me again why I quit my job.
I mean, I know it was right that I left Pia but...
But, but, but, it is lunchtime and you realised you have nowhere to be.
Nobody needs you back for anything.
Believe me, I feel the same way.
And I'm sitting in my own office.
- Heh. That's so comforting, thanks. - Yeah.
Well, listen to me. You were good at PR.
Have you given more thought to opening your firm?
Mm, not today. I was with Dylan. All my mental energy is zapped.
Yeah.
Um, so how is he doing?
Okay, for a guy who thinks his dead father is alive.
What?
There's no solid proof, but I believe him.
- Okay. - Jack, Dylan's dad,
used an alias to fly from Phoenix to L.A.
- Heh. Okay. - Dylan recognised the name.
I guess he took one of those commuter flights
that flies back and forth four times a day.
So we're gonna go to the airport and talk to the flight crew.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Okay.
Now, if this is true,
if Jack McKay did fake his death and he's running from some people,
don't you think blowing his cover could cause some serious problems?
Dylan's life derailed when he lost his father.
You weren't there. You have no idea what this means to him.
[SlGHS]
Well, you could probably use some help.
I'm not gonna twist your arm or anything.
- Well, you don't have to, okay? I'm in. - Good.
All right.
Uh-oh, I'm dating a stacker.
The plates.
When you stack them like that, both sides get dirty.
Uh-oh, I'm dating a compulsive yet very attractive freak.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[PHONE RlNGlNG]
- Hello. - Sorry I snapped at you last night.
But Sleepaway Camp is on.
Hmm. Apology accepted. Is Noah still there?
DONNA [OVER PHONE]: Yeah, he's in bed and I'm on the couch.
I gotta go. Bye.
[CHUCKLES]
That was Donna.
We call each other whenever there's a good horror flick on.
You guys are like my grandparents.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Bicker, make up, repeat.
Feels like we've known each other that long.
[PHONE RlNGS]
Not Sleepaway Camp, it's Slumber Party Massacre.
- So much better. - Get out of here. All right.
Uh, we gotta go look for the remote.
WOMAN [OVER PA]: Passengers arriving on Flight 78 1
may be met at Gate 22.
- See what you can find out from them. - Yeah.
- Uh, excuse me. - I'm sorry, sir. I have a flight.
He's a business associate.
We're supposed to be meeting for a convention.
Try baggage claim, lower level.
Uh, hi, excuse me. Excuse me. My name's, uh, Dick Milshaps.
I work over at Coastal Auto Leasing on Concourse B.
We had a mix-up with one of our passengers, Eddie Waitkus.
I was wondering if... Do you know if Mr. Waitkus is on the flight?
The flight was completely full. I barely remember my name, ha.
I know it's like that sometimes. He's a real big VlP with us.
Is there anybody else that I could ask?
Check with Cathy, the first-class attendant.
Cathy, this gentleman has a question.
Howdy, I'm Dick Milshaps. I work at Coastal Auto Leasings.
I just wanted to know, uh, was there a passenger named Eddie Waitkus
- on your flight? - I'm sorry, he wasn't.
Well, you know, our, uh, computers broke down at work
and I need to inform Mr. Waitkus
of a change of arrangements we made for him.
I was wondering, do you have a, uh, contact number of any kind?
Mm, Mr. Milshaps, I can't release that.
Well, there goes my job, then.
All right, look.
I've heard him say he lives in Tolleson, just outside Phoenix.
- But you didn't hear it from me. - Oh, you're an angel.
Any luck?
Anyone up for a trip to Tolleson, Arizona?
[STEVE & RYAN SNORlNG]
[STEVE & RYAN GROAN]
Rise and shine.
[STEVE GROANS]
- Darling. - Huh?
- Hi. - Hi, honey.
Even though I know you came in at the crack of dawn,
and I know this because I heard you warn your brother
not to wake up the old ball and chain because she'd freak--
- Oh, boy. - Yeah.
--you have to get up.
You have a meeting with the Sasquatch watch group
- in about an hour. - Can't you go, honey?
Some people are trying to sleep here, okay? Thank you.
No. I have to colour proof.
And remember we're taking the day off tomorrow for quality family time.
Right.
[STEVE SlGHS]
What is this? What happened?
It was dark. I tripped.
I always thought the thing was ugly anyway.
[CHUCKLES]
- Steve? - What?
- A word. - Ow, ow, ow!
Honey, honey. Oh.
[RYAN GRUNTS]
Ow, ow, ouch. Ow.
- Stop showing off. - I am not showing off.
Why is Ryan staying with us and not at your dad's place?
- Because Rush is out of town. - Try again.
Because he wanted to spend time with his brother.
Exactly.
Do you see how he constantly mimics you and is trying to get your attention?
No way. Ryan is the, uh, brain of the family.
[STEVE CHUCKLES]
But you're the one with the legendary reputation.
And maybe he's just trying to live up to it.
Well, I'm glad he's coming out of his shell.
- Ugh. - You know what? Us Sanders men,
we stir up trouble every once in a while.
We can't help it. It's our birthright.
But you've been really lucky.
Every time you or your antics got out of control,
there was always somebody to reel you in.
For years it was Brandon Walsh, now it's my full-time job.
Well, who does Ryan have?
[LAUGHS THEN CLEARS THROAT]
- Me, I guess. - Then be that guy.
Don't boss him around or anything
- but give him a little guidance, okay? STEVE: Mm-hm.
[CHUCKLES]
- Ryan, a little hung over? - Yeah. Yeah, a little bit.
Okay. Bloody Marys coming up, dude.
- Great, I'm pouring. - Clothesline!
[RYAN GRUNTS THEN LAUGHS]
[STEVE GRUNTlNG]
WEATHERMAN [ON TV]: Weather for the southland.
Mostly cloudy skies, a chance of light showers.
Highs are gonna be up to the 70s,
tonight, clearing with lows in the 60s, 50s in the beaches.
- Hey. - Hey.
Ha. Look at this place. It's spotless.
Yeah, I'm pretty slow, but I'm quite effective.
The doctor said you're not supposed to move around.
I know. I know. I just wanted to help out.
Well, thank you.
[NOAH GRUNTlNG]
- You okay? - Yeah. Good.
You look tired.
Oh, really?
Maybe I'm just catching a cold or something. I don't know.
A couple weeks ago, I thought I was gonna die.
I really did. And all I could think about was you.
- We've been through a lot. - Heh. Yeah, we have.
If we had another chance I'd do a lot of things differently.
Especially the end.
Noah.
What?
I know what you're feeling.
I feel lonely all the time.
- Then why can't we just sit here--? - Because we can't.
Because after we broke up,
you were out partying and drinking all night long.
I wasn't.
I was dealing with it.
And it was sad, and it hurt a lot,
but I got over it.
And now that you're sober, you're just finally feeling it.
You're right.
[SlGHS]
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna call a cab and get out of your way.
I'm sorry.
[LlNE RlNGS]
OPERATOR [OVER PHONE]: Directory assistance.
Can I have the number of Gotta Go Cab Company, please?
OPERATOR: Yes, sir.
- Just a minute, please. - Okay.
What is taking Kelly so long?
- You want me to go get her? - No, not yet.
It's just a waste of time.
I mean, you blew off a day's work.
We jumped on a plane and flew here because some stewardess mentions it,
now Kelly's there pretending to be related to my dad.
Why? So she can find out his home address.
For what?
What's with the 1 80?
Well, he couldn't pick up a phone just one time?
Not if people wanted him dead. I don't think so.
I could have helped him hide, you know.
I mean, I would have given him money. It's his money.
It worked like a charm.
Bernie was more than happy to give Mrs. Eddie Waitkus
a copy of her billing statement.
E. Waitkus, 1 1 Peachtree Road.
Come on, let's go.
- Hey. - Hey.
I thought you were gonna cook for me tonight.
Yeah. Well, that was a blatant lie.
- Oh. - I wanna save my energy
for the long, drawn-out seduction I have planned for later.
Oh, yeah? Who's the lucky girl?
- I'm taking volunteers. - Oh, I will.
- Ah. - So how was your day?
- Um, a little off actually. - Yeah?
I screwed up things with Donna.
Yeah, what happened?
I got on this weird rant about how perfect my life is right now.
And as the words were coming out of my mouth,
I realised that I've basically stolen everything from Donna's world.
Well, that's not true.
The store, her boyfriend.
Her ex-boyfriend.
Still, I feel bad.
Things stink for her right now,
and there I was rubbing my happiness right in her face.
Camille, I think you're being a little sensitive right now.
All right, Donna's not that kind of person. Believe me, I know.
- She's my best friend. - I'm still getting used to the idea
that your best friend is not only a woman but an ex-girlfriend.
I just feel like our relationship is trying to grow in its giant shadow.
I can't just drop her.
No, I would never ask you to do that.
I was hoping for a little distance sometimes.
I'm glad you said something.
Thank you.
[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]
CAMlLLE: Hmm. Heh.
Oh, that's probably Donna with a movie update.
- Go ahead. Go ahead. - No.
I'll let my voicemail get it.
[LlNE RlNGS]
DAVlD [ON MACHlNE]: It's David. Leave a message.
Hey, it's me. Just give me a call. Bye.
You know, Matt's a good guy. He, uh...
He didn't have to pretend like he had work back at the motel.
Yeah, he didn't think you'd want an entourage.
Life on the run seems pretty idyllic.
We've been sitting here for hours. Maybe this is a fake address too.
[DYLAN SlGHS]
What should we do?
Dylan, go to him.
JACK: Come on. BOY: Daddy!
[JACK & BOY LAUGH]
All right, buddy. How you doing?
[JACK & BOY SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]
Are you gonna go to him?
There's no place for me here.
- I'm so sorry. - Well, you should be.
I fell asleep with the phone under me,
woke up with star 69 imprinted on my face.
The only reason Camille is late is because we were at her place
and I set the alarm wrong.
She's getting coffee. She'll be right in.
So you aren't apologising for not calling me back?
Oh.
- Right. - I needed to talk to you.
- What, Noah? - Obviously.
Look, we somehow ended up on the couch discussing old times,
and before I knew it, he kissed me.
Well?
I'm trying so hard not to say it.
Fine, you told me so.
Why does this keep happening to me?
You're too nice.
I just gotta learn how to set better boundaries, that's all.
Who's gonna teach me that?
You got a pen and paper? Might wanna take some notes.
Great, I don't like the sound of this.
It's just now that I'm dating Camille,
we may have to change a few things.
- Like? - Like late-night phone calls.
- What? Now I can't call you anymore? - Of course you can.
- Not two or three times a night. - Oh. I do do that, don't l?
Oh, God. Am I driving you guys crazy?
- Ha, ha, no. We both do it. - Just not anymore.
I hear what you're saying.
Half decaf, half caf, full apology. Sorry I'm late.
Oh, no problem.
- Let's get started. - Yes.
DYLAN: What's going on?
Matt has an appointment with a potential client.
Yeah, it's my first since the suspension.
- So I gotta get back home. - But I'm gonna stay with you.
It could take a while.
You know, Dylan, if your father hears
that someone's poking around, asking questions, he might take off.
I think I forgot something in the room.
It's now or never.
From what I saw, his new life looks a lot better than his old one.
Why, because he had a wife and a little boy?
His son.
He has two.
Come on. Let's go get some breakfast. We'll figure out what's next.
You got a plane to catch.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG]
Oh, you two are definitely built from the same double helix.
- What's that? - A genetics joke, Steve.
- You wouldn't understand. - Oh, yeah?
Well, at least I know my helix won't be going home alone tonight, you loser.
- Oh, you have some baby drool. JANET: Ew.
Oh, look, creamed carrots.
What? What's that face?
Mushed carrots, drool? What, is this your entire life now?
No, it's not our entire life.
- There's also diaper rash. - Yeah, there's diaper rash.
Ha, ha, you are so baby whipped.
Oh, yeah? I only hope it happens to you one day.
No, no, no. I took a child-development class this semester.
It's about as close as I wanna get, thank you very much.
Speaking of which, what's your course load like?
Oh, it's great. I probably shouldn't have brought it up.
- No, tell us. I'm really interested. - Yeah.
Come on, guys. I don't wanna talk about school. I'm on vacation.
Oh. Sorry. I thought you just might wanna impress us, that's all.
The only thing I want to impress is that hottie over there.
So if you guys will excuse me, I've got some major work to do.
Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.
Is it wrong that I wanna hide the diaper pail near his pillow tonight?
Oh, that's good.
- Oh, honey, that is so good. - Ha, ha.
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG]
[LAUGHS]
I wanna thank everyone for listening tonight.
You can tune in tomorrow night, when the topic for discussion will be
[PAPERS RUSTLlNG]
uh,
the rules of relationships.
We're going beyond the time limit for calling after a first date
into the no man's land of loving someone
when they're no longer your significant other.
And introducing a new player into the equation.
We'll figure it out tomorrow.
On KVlB, I'm David Silver. Good night.
[DANCE MUSlC PLAYlNG]
Hey, uh, get some more vodka. It's upstairs.
Oh, okay.
How's it going?
I'm still a little sore to be working behind the bar.
I got some good help back here though.
- Can I get you something? - No, thanks.
Actually, I stopped by to make sure you didn't want one either.
[CHUCKLES]
Do I want a drink? Yeah.
Am I gonna have one? No.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm also sure it's not your problem anymore.
I'm sorry if I took advantage.
- You didn't take advantage. - Look, I was feeling lousy.
I didn't mean to bring you down.
So how is everything here?
Everything's fine.
- I didn't see any of that vodka. - Yeah. Excuse me.
- So are you sure everything's fine? - Yeah.
- I'm just checking. - I know, and I appreciate it.
Well, you should.
[CHUCKLES]
So you wanna go next door and get a bite to eat?
Oh, well, see, I'd love to
but I had this little lesson on boundaries this morning,
and I'm feeling like this might be a test.
- It's not a test. - Ha, ha.
- Ha, ha. Give me a second, all right? DONNA: Okay.
[DlALLlNG CELL PHONE]
[SlGHS]
[LlNE RlNGS]
[PHONE RlNGS]
- Hello. - Hey, it's me.
- Hey. - Well, I'm on my way. Um...
Listen, I'm gonna stop next door and grab a bite to eat with Donna.
Let me guess, she just popped into the equation.
You were listening?
Yeah, I like to hear you sign off.
Especially when it means I'm about to see you.
I don't want you to think that I forgot about what you were saying.
It's just, you know, Noah's here and Donna's a little worried.
So she takes care of him and you take care of her.
There's a certain symmetry there.
I'll be over as soon as I can, all right?
David, it's fine. It's late. I'm tired. Um...
Go do what you have to do and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay?
Good night.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, it's good.
- Are you sure? - Mm-hm.
Okay.
- Hey. - Hi.
Mwah. So, what's the surprise you promised?
Well, did you know that Caley's Copy Shop
can print over 500 business cards in under an hour?
No, I don't think I knew that.
KTPR.
Kelly Taylor Public Relations.
That is great. You're taking the plunge. You're doing it. I am so proud of you.
I've been out there all morning and I've already snagged my first account.
Young hip boutique Now Wear This.
I think I know that place.
I'm friends with the owner, you know.
I had to apologise for a few harsh words
I said in the emergency room.
Well, I'm glad you two straightened out that whole Noah thing.
Picking up an order to go.
Hey, Dylan.
Hi. How'd it go?
Not so well.
What do you mean? What did your dad say?
I don't wanna talk about it right now.
- I'm gonna... MATT: Yeah.
Excuse me. Am I wrong, or were we working together?
- It's over. - Dylan, listen to me.
If your dad doesn't want you in his life, it is his loss.
You know what? I couldn't even make it up the driveway.
He was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.
His wife was off in the other room and the kid tucked into bed.
And I asked myself, who is that guy?
Then I decided he's a happy man.
What about you and everything that's been taken away?
Conversation ain't gonna change that. A million couldn't.
It might help you understand everything that's happened.
And make everything else I've been through seem even more pointless?
Kelly, why do you think I go on binges? My dad died.
I push people away from me who try to get close.
I never ever finish anything I start.
Why? Because my dad died?
I don't know who I am without using that as a crutch.
I don't know if I'm ready to find out.
That excuse doesn't work anymore because your dad is alive.
[SCOFFS]
Not as far as I'm concerned.
[ENGlNE REVS]
Hi.
We're out of milk.
Pretty good crowd last night, huh?
Yeah, including Donna.
What's that supposed to mean?
- She told me you kissed her. - So what? It's none of your business.
You should give her some space, that's all.
I don't need a lecture right now.
[DAVlD SlGHS]
Noah, she is trying to move forward, all right?
And you just keep pulling her back.
- You think I do that? - Yeah, I know you do.
[SCOFFS]
Why don't you take a long look in the mirror?
Last night Donna came to see me.
All right? We talked for what, 1 3 seconds?
Meanwhile you're hovering over the girl every chance you get.
Noah, it's nowhere near the same thing.
You can twist it out anyway you like, man.
You're the one that can't get over her.
So did she buy the last sundress?
Yep. Your stuff just flies off the racks.
Oh, just for that, you can take lunch first.
Ha, ha, thanks.
Camille, um, I just wanna say I'm sorry
if I've been getting in the way of you and David lately.
It's just that we're old friends,
and I guess I'm used to monopolising his time.
Well, you have nothing to be sorry about.
I don't expect you to know we're together when you call.
But we are a lot, ha, ha.
It's kind of weird, actually.
Usually it doesn't happen that fast.
Yeah, it has been fast.
- Oh, you noticed? - I've just noticed
how crazy David is about you,
and I'm just happy that two good people found each other, that's all.
- Oh. So I have your blessing? - Oh, you don't need my blessing.
Well, I know I don't, but I want it. Our friendship's important to me.
Plus we work together,
and I want your seal of approval before I fall for David any harder.
Go fall.
Okay. Thank you.
- All right, see you later. - Bye.
Nat says Ryan's not at the Peach Pit. Maybe we should call the cops.
And say what? A college kid on spring break
met a waitress and didn't come home last night?
I knew we shouldn't have left him at the club.
Just call Noah.
Because he probably has that waitress's phone number.
You know, normally I wouldn't care,
but Ryan almost died from alcohol poisoning four years ago.

Morning!
Morning? It's 3:00 in the afternoon. Where the hell were you?
I was with Katrina Morowski. Actually, her friends call her Kitty.
And, Steve, hee-hee, she purrs. Rawr. Ha-ha-ha.
Hey, Ryan, we really wish you would have called.
Sorry, Mom. I didn't know I had a curfew.
I didn't know you needed one, you jerk.
And don't you ever talk to my wife like that.
Heh, come on. Chill out, Steve.
Never pulled this stuff when you were my age?
Well, if I did, it was a mistake.
Stay out all night at school? How do you keep your grades up?
This from a guy who partied four years
only to have his dad buy him a newspaper.
If he helped me, it's because I needed it.
You don't need help. You're smart.
Will you stop saying that?
I think Steve just has high expectations for you.
Yeah, well, you know what? I didn't ask for a fan club, okay?
Hey, Ryan.
What happened to you?
I was a brain in high school. And it sucked.
So, you know, I went to college and I tried being you.
I went to keggers. I blew off classes. I slept in late. I had a blast.
Guess what, Steve. You'd make a lousy doctor.
I'm on academic probation.
Bye-bye, med school.
I'm sorry to hear that.
But it's not the end of the world, Ryan.
No. No, just college. I dropped out.
STEVE: Ryan.
[SlGHS]
That's it.
We're stopping at one kid.
Get out of here. The Mummy's Ghost is on.
Ew.
"Ew.' you sissy. I'll cover your eyes during the scary parts. Come on.
