[ DOOR OPENS ]
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HEY, BABY.
HEY, YOU.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU CAN'T MIX WHITES WITH COLOREDS.
[ As Martin Luther King, Jr. ] I'M SORRY, MA'AM,
BUT I HAD A DREAM.
I DREAMED THAT ONE DAY
ALL LAUNDRY WOULD BE DONE TOGETHER --
BRIEFS AND BOXERS, COTTONS AND POLYESTERS.
I HAD A DREAM THAT ONE DAY JOCKSTRAPS AND G-STRINGS
WOULD TUMBLE AROUND IN THE DRYER OF LOVE.
JUST PUT THE SHIRT IN THE RIGHT PILE, PLEASE.
I GOT TO GET THIS STUFF TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM.
OH, I'VE BEEN TO THE LAUNDROMAT.
OH, STOP IT.
I MAY NOT GET THERE WITH YOU. STOP IT!
CLING FREE AT LAST. CLING FREE AT LAST.
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY
WE USE CLING FREE AT LAST.
HEY, BABY, DO I LOOK FAT?
NO. YOU LOOK GREAT.
ARE YOU SURE?
I-I -- MY CLOTHES ARE FEELING A LITTLE TIGHT.
NO. I'M GOING TO SAY THIS FOR TODAY, TOMORROW,
AND THE FOR REST OF MY LIFE --
YOU ARE NOT GETTING FAT. YOU'RE GETTING P-H-A-T.
YOU'RE PHAT-BULOUS.
THANK YOU. ARE THESE YOURS OR JUNIOR'S?
THOSE ARE JUNIOR'S.
I DON'T HAVE PANTS WITH MORE THAN 38 POCKETS.
WHAT'S THAT?
MORE NUMBERS? OH, THIS BOY.
NO, THIS IS A CARD FROM A TATTOO PARLOR.
A TATTOO PARLOR?
YEAH, IT SAYS, "10% OFF YOUR NEXT VISIT."
I THINK THAT FOOL DONE GOT HISSELF TATTOOED.
Janet: MICHAEL, MAYBE HE DIDN'T GET A TATTOO.
MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF HIS FRIENDS.
NO. IT WAS HIM.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT, MICHAEL?
BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT WAS ONE OF HIS FRIENDS,
IT TURNS OUT TO BE HIM, AND LOOK WHO'S HERE NOW.
HEY, HEY, COME HERE. COME HERE. GET OVER HERE.
I WANT YOU TO LOOK ME IN THE EYE,
AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU THIS ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY.
DID YOU GET A TATTOO?
NO.
WELL, I FOUND THIS CARD IN YOUR PANTS POCKET.
IT'S FROM A TATTOO PARLOR.
DID YOU THINK
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS?
YEAH, FOR A QUICK SECOND,
AND THEN I PUT THAT OUT OF MY HEAD.
NOW I'M GOING TO ASK YOU. DID YOU GET A TATTOO OR NOT?
NO, I DID NOT GET A TATTOO.
I MEAN, I CANNOT WALK INTO A ROOM
WITHOUT GETTING ACCUSED OF SOMETHING,
AND WHY ARE YOU GOING THROUGH MY STUFF ANYWAY?
BECAUSE IT WAS DIRTY.
I'LL STOP GOING THROUGH YOUR STUFF
IF YOU WANT TO DO YOUR OWN LAUNDRY.
NO, THAT'S OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
MICHAEL, MY SON DOES NOT LIE.
THAT'S FUNNY, 'CAUSE MINE DOES.
HELLO, LADIES.
HELLO, MR. KYLE.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. KYLE.
Michael: IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO,
NICOLE AND MELANIE.
SO WHY DO I GET THE FEELING
YOU GIRLS WANT SOMETHING?
CAN KADY COME TO MY HOUSE
FOR A SLEEPOVER THURSDAY NIGHT?
UH, NO, KADY CAN'T.
WHY NOT?
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, KADY DIDN'T ASK ME,
SHE HAD HER FRIEND ASK ME.
AND SECOND OF ALL,
I DON'T THINK KADY'S READY FOR ANOTHER SLEEPOVER YET.
HOW COME?
BECAUSE LAST TIME
KADY GOT SCARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND DADDY HAD TO GO PICK HER UP
AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING,
AND HE NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO FINISH
THE GAME HE WAS PLAYING WITH YOUR MOMMY.
DID YOU SEE WHO WAS MESSING WITH MY STEREO?
NO, WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
LISTEN TO THIS.
I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
EXACTLY.
YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE SOMEONE SPILLED SODA
DOWN THE BACK OF THE AMPLIFIER.
I TOLD THESE KIDS A MILLION TIMES
DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF.
DID YOU SEE WHICH ONE OF THEM DID IT?
I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE KIDS DO IT.
HI, DAD.
DON'T "HI" ME. GET OVER HERE.
DID YOU SPILL SODA DOWN MY STEREO?
NOT ME. I DON'T DRINK SODA.
MY BODY'S A TEMPLE. I JUST DRINK WATER.
AND BESIDES, DADDY,
EVERYBODY KNOWS NOT TO MESS WITH YOUR STUFF.
GET YOUR TEMPLE OUT OF MY FACE.
KADY!
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
YEAH, WELL, I'M TALKING TO YOU.
COME HERE.
DID YOU SPILL SODA DOWN MY STEREO?
I CAN'T EVEN REACH YOUR STUPID STEREO,
BUT IF I COULD, I WOULD, BECAUSE YOU'RE MEAN.
PHBT!
I'M ABOUT TO GIVE YOU A LIFT UP THEM STAIRS.
JUNIOR!
GET DOWN HERE.
WHASSUP?
DON'T "WHASSUP" MY BUTT.
HOW MANY TIMES I TELL YOU NOT TO MESS WITH MY STEREO?
ABOUT 652.
THEN WHY'D YOU DO IT?
I DIDN'T. I'VE GOT MY OWN STEREO.
YOU KNOW WHAT? SOMEBODY WAS MESSING WITH MY STEREO,
AND I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHO DID IT.
WELL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO, DAD,
YOU LET ME KNOW.
THAT BOY GOT TATTOOS.
I FEEL IT. I FEEL IT RIGHT IN HERE. I FEEL IT.
HE'S TOO COCKY.
NO, MICHAEL, HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE.
IF YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR OWN CHILDREN,
WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST?
I AIN'T TRUSTED NOBODY
SINCE MICHAEL JORDAN IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
AND SPEAKING OF WHICH -- HEY, HEY, SON.
WHY DON'T WE GO PLAY SOME BASKETBALL?
I'LL BE SHIRTS AND YOU BE SKINS.
DAD, IF WE'RE PLAYING ONE ON ONE,
I THINK WE COULD TELL EACH OTHER APART.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHY DON'T YOU DO LIKE THIS FOR ME? WHOO.
WHY?
I JUST WANT TO SEE YOUR NAVEL.
GO AHEAD. JUST GO "WHOO-HOO."
COME ON. WE DON'T DO ANY FATHER-SON STUFF ANYMORE.
COME ON. LET'S -- LET'S GO TAKE A SHOWER TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE STARTING TO FREAK ME OUT.
STARTING TO MAKE ME NERVOUS THERE, TOO, MICHAEL.
WHAT? I JUST WANT TO SPEND
SOME QUALITY TIME WITH MY SON, SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
HEY, STOP.
WHAT? HA HA. COME ON.
STOP IT.
SEE? NO TATTOOS.
HE MAY NOT HAVE A TATTOO,
BUT HE'S NUMBER ONE ON THE STEREO HIT LIST.
I WANT TO CALL A FAMILY MEETING.
OH, G-- MICHAEL, NO.
COME ON NOW. IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?
LET'S JUST GET THE THING FIXED.
NO, I'LL GET IT FIXED AFTER I KNOW WHO DID IT.
SEE, I JUST WANT
TO LOOK THAT SNEAKY LITTLE CULPRIT IN THE EYE,
LOOK AT HIM AND GO, "AHA!"
MICHAEL, YOU DO REALIZE
THAT UNDER THE RULES OF THE FAMILY MEETING,
THE CULPRIT IS GOING TO GET AMNESTY.
IT'S OKAY. MY SATISFACTION COMES WITH...
AHA!
ALL RIGHT,
WE ALL KNOW THE RULES TO THE FAMILY MEETING.
THIS IS THE ONE PLACE WHERE WE CAN SAY ANYTHING.
YOU CAN OPEN UP, BE TOTALLY HONEST,
AND NO REPERCUSSIONS.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
NO REPERCUSSIONS, RIGHT?
NO MATTER WHAT WE MAY HAVE DONE WRONG?
NONE WHATSOEVER.
IF YOU TOLD A LIE,
THIS IS THE PLACE WE CLEAR THE AIR.
SAY YOU BROKE SOMETHING, SOMETHING REALLY EXPENSIVE
AND NEAR AND DEAR TO SOMEBODY'S HEART.
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU PURGE YOURSELF.
YOU GET IT OFF YOUR MIND -- THE CONFUSION
AND THE GUILT AND SHAME THAT YOU MUST BE FEELING
INSIDE YOUR LITTLE SNEAKY HEART.
HERE IS WHERE YOU LET THAT OUT.
SO ANYTHING? ANYTHING.
SO NO MATTER WHAT A PERSON MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DONE WRONG,
THERE'S NO PUNISHMENT? NO PUNISHMENT.
SO WHAT IF YOU DID SOMETHING REALLY --
I DID IT! I DID IT!
FOR GOD'S SAKES, STOP TORTURING ME!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
MICHAEL, I WAS STANDING HERE, RIGHT?
I WAS SINGING ALONG WITH WHITNEY,
AND WHEN WHITNEY HIT THAT HIGH NOTE...♪ WHOO ♪
AND I SAID...♪ WHOO ♪
MY ARMS WENT...♪ WHOO ♪... LIKE THAT, RIGHT?
HOW COULD YOU? MY BRAND-NEW BANG & OLUFSEN --
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. YOU KNOW HOW HARD
I HAD TO WORK FOR THIS AND PINCH TO SAVE MONEY
TO BUY THIS THING?
YOU KNOW WHAT? NO MORE WHITNEY IN THIS HOUSE.
HER AND BOBBY ARE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, OKAY?
CISSY HOUSTON? DON'T WANT HER IN HERE.
I DON'T LIKE DIONNE EITHER. NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT? WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO DID IT.
NO, I DIDN'T. NO, I-- YES, YOU DID.
NO, NO, ACTUALLY, WHAT I SAID,
I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE KIDS DO IT.
OH, YOU'RE GOING TO TWIST IT.
YOU'RE TWISTING IT.
MICHAEL --
NO, NO, NO. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY DO THIS TO ME,
KNOWING HOW I FELT ABOUT THIS THING?
NO REPERCUSSIONS. NO REPERCUSSIONS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THIS IS JUST MATERIAL THINGS...
EXPENSIVE, REALLY NICE MATERIAL THINGS
THAT DON'T WORK NO MORE,
BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS YOU FELT FREE ENOUGH
TO TELL ME THE TRUTH. RIGHT.
AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE HOW THE FAMILY MEETING WORKS.
YOU SEE? LOOK AT HER -- GUILT FREE.
FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
NOT A MARK ON HER.
AND SHE'S ALMOST FORGIVEN.
AHA!
NOW SHE'S FORGIVEN.
SO, BEFORE WE ADJOURN THE MEETING,
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SOMETHING
THEY WANT TO GET OFF THEIR MIND?
I DO.
YES, CLAIRE?
WELL, DAD, LAST FRIDAY I MISSED CURFEW BY AN HOUR.
OKAY, YOU'RE FORGIVEN.
KADY?
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND.
THAT'S A LIE.
AND YOU'RE FORGIVEN.
JUNIOR?
I GOT A COUPLE OF TATTOOS.
I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.
NO, NO, NO REPERCUSSIONS. NO REPERCUSSIONS.
HELLO, JUNIOR.
CAN I SLEEP OVER AT MELANIE'S?
DIDN'T I TELL YOU NO, YOU CAN'T GO?
FINE, THEN I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
YOU'RE INVISIBLE.
GOOD. YOU WANT TO PLAY THE INVISIBLE GAME?
YOU'RE INVISIBLE, TOO.
I HEAR SOMEONE, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYONE.
I SMELL SOMEONE, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYONE,
AND I'M GLAD NO ONE'S AROUND
'CAUSE I GOT THIS GOOD CHOCOLATE BAR
THAT I'M GOING TO EAT ALL BY MYSELF
WITH ALL OF THESE NUTS AND CARAMEL IN IT.
MMM-MMM!
IT SURE IS GOOD
WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AROUND.
SO? I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY CHOCOLATE ANYWAYS.
IT GIVES ME THE RUNS.
HEY, RODMAN,
WHERE'S YOUR NOSE RING AND YOUR DRESS?
COME ON, DAD, I THOUGHT WE LEFT THIS AT THE MEETING.
THIS AIN'T NO REPERCUSSIONS.
I'M JUST SAYING HEY,
HI TO THE DUMB GUY THAT GOT THE TATTOOS.
WHEN AM I GOING TO SEE THIS ARTWORK
YOU'VE DECIDED TO PUT ON YOUR BODY?
WOW.
PRETTY COOL, HUH?
YEAH, THAT'S STUPID.
YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO SEE THE FUTURE, SON.
IN ABOUT 20 YEARS,
THAT CUTE LITTLE HEART IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE A SUN-DRIED TOMATO.
AND WHAT'S THE REST OF THE FOOLISHNESS?
THAT'S "KNOWLEDGE" IN JAPANESE.
DO YOU SPEAK JAPANESE?
NO.
DO YOU READ JAPANESE?
NO.
THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T SAY
"SPICY TUNA ROLL"?
DAD, THIS IS STARTING TO SOUND NEGATIVE.
IT'S NOT NEGATIVE. I'M JUST TELLING YOU
I THINK THAT YOUR TATTOOS ARE STUPID.
I CAN SAY THAT, RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY. THEY ARE STUPID.
VERY, VERY STUPID,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GOT ME UPSET
IS THE FACT THAT YOU LOOKED US IN THE EYE
AND YOU SAID, "I DON'T HAVE A TATTOO."
NO, I LOOKED MOM IN THE EYE AND SAID NO,
AND AS YOU JUST SAW,
I DON'T HAVEATATTOO, I HAVE TWO TATTOOS.
THANK YOU, MR. BILL CLINTON.
HA HA HA!
BOY, THIS CARTOON SURE IS FUNNY.
HA HA HA! THIS IS THE ONE WHERE
SCROOGE McDUCK GOT HIS TAIL CAUGHT IN THE MONEY BIN.
WHOO-HOO-HOO! HE'S HILARIOUS!
HA HA HA!
BABY, WHY DON'T YOU WATCH SOME CARTOONS
WITH YOUR DADDY?
I DON'T HAVE A DADDY.
OHH.
BOY, I SURE WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO SIT HERE
AND WATCH THIS FUNNY CARTOON WITH ME,
BUT I DON'T SEE ANYBODY AROUND
EXCEPT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, AND SHE DOESN'T LIKE CARTOONS.
I USED TO HAVE A FRIEND,
BUT SHE'S INVISIBLE NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I WANT TO WATCH SCROOGE McDUCK.
YOU WANT TO WATCH SCROOGE McDUCK WITH ME?
COME ON.
HEY, JAY,
THANKS FOR WATCHING THE CARTOON WITH ME.
I WAS ALL ALONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME POPCORN
FOR MY TWO FAVORITE PEOPLE.
Both: TWO?
HMM.
BOY, I'M SURE GLAD I'M HERE ALL BY MYSELF.
I GOT TO LAUNCH AN AIR BISCUIT.
EWW!
OKAY, JUNIOR, LET ME SEE THEM.
ARE YOU SURE?
I'M SURE I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE THEM,
BUT I MIGHT AS WELL GET USED TO THEM.
YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY, REALLY MAKES ME MAD ABOUT ALL THIS?
I GAVE BIRTH TO YOU,
AND IT'S LIKE YOU'RE REWRITING MY WORK.
I'M REALLY POSITIVE THAT...
DOES THAT SAY "MOM"?
UH-HUH.
WHAT DOES THIS ONE SAY?
UH, THAT SAYS "MOM" IN JAPANESE.
OH, BABY. THAT'S SWEET.
AHA!
HOLD IT UP.
WHAT?
LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT THAT.
THERE'S 1/16 OF AN INCH LEFT OF MILK,
AND YOU PUT IT BACK IN THE REFRIGERATOR?
YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
THIS IS THE MOST SELFISH THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO "GOT MILK"
WHEN WE DON'T GOT MILK?
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE GROUNDED.
THIS IS SELFISH.
I WANT YOU TO GO UP IN YOUR ROOM,
TAKE EVERYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE FUN,
AND PUT IT IN THE GARAGE.
I DON'T WANT NOTHING IN YOUR ROOM
EXCEPT BOOKS AND A BED. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M STILL NOT SURE ABOUT THE BED.
LET'S GO.
TATTOOS I COULD TAKE, BUT THIS...
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
THAT IS THE LOWEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
YEAH, SEE HOW LOW THAT IS?
WHAT IF KADY WAS CHOKING
ON A PIECE OF CANDY OR SOMETHING,
HAPPENED TO COME IN --
[ Coughs ] NOTHING, STILL CHOKING.
NOT THAT, MICHAEL -- YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ME?
YOU AGREED THAT YOU WOULDN'T PUNISH HIM
FOR THE TATTOOS AND NOW YOU'RE DOING IT.
I DIDN'T PUNISH HIM FOR THE TATTOOS.
I PUNISHED HIM FOR THE MILK --
THIS SELFISH ACT OF MILKING THIS MILKLESS HOUSE.
YOU'RE BEING A HYPOCRITE, MICHAEL.
I'M NOT BEING A HYPOCRITE. I'M NOT BEING -- I'M BEING --
YOU KNOW WHAT? YEAH, I'M BEING A HYPOCRITE,
AND WHEN YOU'RE A PARENT, YOU GOT TO BE A HYPOCRITE.
THAT'S PART OF THE JOB.
THAT'S NOT HOW WE'VE RUN THIS HOUSEHOLD.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A DEMOCRACY.
YEAH, WELL, THAT WENT OUT THE WINDOW
WITH THE TATTOOS.
THAT WAS THE FIRST SHOT FIRED IN THE TEENAGE REBELLION.
FROM NOW ON, IT'S A DICTATORSHIP,
AND I'M DIC.
LOOK IN THIS MIRROR AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.
A BEAUTIFUL BALD-HEADED BLACK MAN,
A LITTLE ANGRY.
AND WHAT DOES THIS BEAUTIFUL BALD-HEADED BLACK MAN,
A LITTLE ANGRY, HAVE IN HIS EAR?
A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND
THAT COULD BE A LITTLE BIGGER.
AND WHEN DID YOU GET THAT DONE?
WHEN I WAS 17.
UH-HUH, AND HOW DID YOUR FATHER FEEL ABOUT IT?
HEY, LOOK, THIS AIN'T ABOUT MY FATHER,
BECAUSE MY FATHER KICKED MY BEHIND.
THERE WAS NO AMNESTY, OKAY?
THERE WERE REPERCUSSIONS,
WHICH LED TO REVERBERATIONS,
WHICH REQUIRED RECUPERATION.
BABY, MY POINT IS YOU REBELLED, TOO.
TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING.
DO YOU WANT TO DO THINGS THE WAY YOUR FATHER DID IT
OR DO YOU WANT TO TRY TO HANDLE THIS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY?
LOOK AT THE MILK, THOUGH.
BABY.
PLUG THAT BACK IN.
WHAT?
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR STUFF BACK.
IT'S A GESTURE OF GOOD WILL.
WELL, THAT WHOLE MILK THING WAS PRETTY BOGUS, DAD.
YOU'RE RIGHT, IT WAS BOGUS,
AND I APOLOGIZE.
GOOD.
YOU ACCEPT MY APOLOGY?
YES.
GOOD, 'CAUSE I'M UNAPOLOGIZING.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SIT DOWN. I'M TAKING IT BACK.
SEE, YOU DESTROYED THE TRUST, JUNIOR.
OKAY? FORGET ABOUT THE TATTOOS.
FORGET ABOUT AMNESTY OR THE FAMILY MEETING.
YOU LIED TO ME,
AND THAT JUST DOESN'T GO AWAY.
I KNOW YOU THINK I MESSED UP, DAD,
BUT I DID THIS TO FEEL LIKE MY OWN PERSON.
I THINK THEY'RE COOL, AND THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS
IT'S MY BODY, AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT.
NO, AS LONG AS YOUR BODY IS IN MY HOUSE,
YOUR BODY HAS TO ABIDE BY MY RULES.
I DIDN'T VIOLATE ANY RULES, DAD.
YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NOT GETTING A TATTOO.
YEAH, AND I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT OWNING A GUN
OR EATING FIRE OR PEEING IN THE TOASTER.
THIS IS ABOUT PRINCIPLE. OKAY?
IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL RIGHT,
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LIED TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT, DAD,
AND I'M SORRY I LIED,
BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT I'M GROWING UP.
YOU'VE GOT TO LOOSEN THE REINS.
LOOK, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TALL
DON'T MEAN YOU'RE GROWN UP.
IT JUST MAKES YOU A TALL KID.
TRUST IS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EARN.
THAT'S HOW YOU GET FREEDOM.
APPARENTLY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO SETTLE THIS.
SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
I GUESS WE HAVE TO MEET SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE,
TRY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
HOW?
WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN. START FROM SCRATCH.
DEAL?
DEAL.
COME HERE.
I AIN'T READY TO LET GO YET.
DO YOU MEAN THAT LITERALLY OR FIGURATIVELY?
BOTH.
EVENTUALLY, WE'LL BOTH STARVE.
LET'S GO GET SOME COOKIES AND...
WATER.
KADY, YOUR DADDY IS SO MEAN.
WHY WON'T HE LET YOU COME OVER TO MY HOUSE?
'CAUSE HE'S A MEAN BALD-HEADED GRINCH,
AND HE'S INVISIBLE.
GIRL, THERE'S NO MILK IN THAT REFRIGERATOR.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID YOUR BROTHER DRANK ALL THE MILK.
HAVE YOU SEEN MY DADDY?
IS HE TALL AND HANDSOME?
HE'S TALL.
WHOO! I JUST SAW'D HIM! I JUST SAW'D HIM!
HE'S FINE, TOO.
WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
ASK HIM IF MELANIE CAN COME TO MY HOUSE
FOR A SLEEPOVER.
EXCUSE ME, TALL, BALD, AND HANDSOME.
CAN I COME OVER TO KADY'S HOUSE
FOR A SLEEPOVER?
MAYBE, BUT FOR A PRICE.
I WANT A HUG AND KISS FROM KADY.
GIRL...
HE SAID HE WANTS SOME SUGARS FROM YOU
BEFORE HE DO ANYTHING.
I HEARD HIM, SILLY.
