All language subtitles for According to Jim s01e12 Model Behavior

Good morning.

I think the kids are still sleeping.

What do you say we have a little
breakfast in bed?

You smell so good.

Oh, hey, honey. I didn't know you were
up.

How about cereal or eggs?

Uh, both.

Excuse me.

We didn't, uh... You know... Good!

Oh,

baby.

Hey, Ruby, I gotta tell you, that soccer
game was great.

Wasn't it, Andy?

Oh, great.

Yeah, well, wasn't it great, Cheryl? The
game was great.

Was I good?

Great!

Hey, let me ask you something, though,
here, champ.

How come you hugged the other team's
goalie after your team scored?

She looked sad.

Sweetie, why don't you go wash up for
lunch?

That was so sweet. Yeah.

She sucks.

It's not about that. It's about her
having fun and hanging out with her

That's what sports are all about.

That's what tea parties are all about.

Sports is about life. There's a winner,
there's a loser, and at some point they

cut off the beer.

This is our daughter you're talking
about. I know, and she really sucks.

I mean, come on, honey. The way she acts
in that soccer field is the way she's

going to act the rest of her life. Oh,
my God.

You mean she's going to go through,
like, hugging people?

If we don't nip it in the bud.

Wow, what a soccer game.

Ruby, you were great. He's upstairs,
Dana. Oh, okay. She sucks.

Hey, who was your date at the soccer
game? He was so cute.

Cheryl, his name is Ted, and he's a
client at our ad agency. He was way too

for you.

And I am dating him.

Well, good for you, Dana.

Tell me, what's it like eating dinner at
four?

Does Viagra make a difference?

Come on, you guys.

Thank you, Cheryl.

And yes, it does.

Anyway, Ted thinks Ruby has the perfect
look for this cookie we're doing, and

he'd really like to use her. You know,
if it's all right with you guys. The

perfect look.

Oh, boy, does that take me back.

One size fits all.

Remember? I was eight years old when I
did that commercial.

I had on snow pants and a derby.

Oh, come on, you guys. The guy says,
regal snow pants, the snow pants for

Then I say, one size fits all.

It ran for like six months. You've got
it. One size fits all.

What do you think, Cheryl?

Ruby's picture will be in the paper.

I don't know. I don't want Ruby to get
the message that her value is based on

her look.

Oh, well, you had no problem entering me
in the most handsome dad contest at

Ruby's school.

Yeah, that was a disaster, and I was
wrong.

You know, Dean, I really don't think I
want her to do it. You know, I got to

kind of go along with Cheryl in this
one. It pays $1 ,500.

She'll do it. What?

Come on, Cheryl. All she has to do is
eat cookie and smile.

Ruby will have fun, I'll score big
points at work, and it'll make Ted very

happy. Yeah, and he only has so much
time left.

Oh, I am so terrible.

Cheryl, come on.

Ruby has been leeching off us for six
years.

I mean the nightlight alone.

Oh, all right, but the money goes right
into her college fund, she doesn't miss

any school, and this is a one -time
thing.

Absolutely.

How many people can say they actually
have a model in the family?

Hello?

You ready?

Now, just look into the camera, dip the
cookie into the milk, take a big bite,

and smile.

Good. Perfect.

Hi. Hi, Jim. I'm Ruby's father.

Where do I go to validate this?

Jim, you're right in Ruby's nightline.
She's working.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry. You're the photographer?

Yeah. Let me ask you. Do I have a good
neck?

Because... Some guy once told me that
that'd be a good neck bond.

Maybe. Get these chins out of the way.
Let's have a look. Hey.

You know, I have to tell you, your Ruby
is a natural at this.

She's very photogenic.

Well, that's because of her big head.
She gets that from me.

Have you thought about getting an agent?

Yeah, but, you know, I really don't want
to do nudity.

But, uh, of course, every man has his
price.

But you got a job in mind, or... I'm in
for Ruby.

Ruby?

Because we must have seen 50 girls for
this.

50?

You mean my Ruby beat out 49 other
girls?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me get
this straight.

You're telling me that 49 girls lost to
my Ruby.

Couldn't make the cut.

Wasn't good enough.

Yeah, but Tim, we try not to look at it
like that. What? Yeah.

Did any of them cry?

Where's Kyle's belly?

Where's Kyle's belly?

Impressive. This is Ruby's aunt.

Oh. There it is. There it is.

There it is. Look at it. Look, it's
great.

Look at that big old head, huh?

You know what? The photographer said she
was a natural, that she could have a

career doing this. He thought she could
get an agent.

Okay. Jim, this is exactly what I was
afraid of. We agreed this was a one

thing. Oh, honey, that's what you said
the first night we were together. You

don't stick to your guns.

Yes, I do. Do you see a one -man
helicopter in the backyard?

That is not over.

I will fly.

You're so excited for her, honey.

I mean, you know, you see her struggling
at soccer and like that, and then you

see her succeed at something like this.

I'm just proud of her.

I know you are.

And she had a great experience.

And now?

And now she goes back to being a normal
kid, normal life, normal house.

It's over.

It's done. Thank you.

Hey, Jim, guess what?

Your meeting went great. Ruby's got an
agent.

Oh, I wish I had that helicopter right
now.

I can't believe you got Ruby an agent
behind my back.

Honey, I had no choice.

You told me I couldn't do it.

I can see you do have some of the
workouts on.

Get back here.

I just want you to know I came back
because I wanted to, not because you

me.

Jim, we agreed this was going to be a
one -time thing. Look, Cheryl, I don't

mean to support Jim because I don't, you
know, like him.

Cheryl, I've been doing this for many
years, and I'm telling you, Ruby was

great. And she loved it.

No, Jim, you loved it. Yes, I did love
it.

You know why?

Because she had fun.

She was excited. She was getting a lot
of praise. It was really good for her

confidence. And are we having
cauliflower for dinner again? Yes.

That's a whole other discussion.

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby.

Look at your picture in the paper.

Wow, I look good.

Yeah.

Did you have fun eating all those
cookies and having everybody love you?

Yes.

It's okay with me. You're going to have
to ask your mother.

Can I, Mommy, please?

I guess we can try it for a bit.

was just uh relax jim i know you dance
when i'm not home you know anything else

no i can't do this anymore sure you can
what am i talking about i

don't know i have to spend an hour and a
half with 30 screaming kids do you have

any idea what that's like honey i try
not to put myself in those kinds of

situations taking movie these auditions
is a nightmare

Come on, Cheryl. You knew how this
business worked when you got us into it.

It's been a week, Jim. I've been running
all around, dragging Gracie and Kyle

with me. I haven't gotten anything done
around the house. And, you know, Ruby

hasn't gotten one job.

She didn't get this one either?

No.

It was this little girl with, oh, with
the curliest red hair. She was so cute.

And, you know, her mother was telling
me... Her mother?

Yeah.

Don't talk to the mothers. They're the
enemy.

Me?

The enemy? She was nice.

Oh, boy, she saw you coming.

There was no agenda. We were just
talking while Ruby played with her

girl. Played with her little girl? Yeah.

You can't have the children playing
together. This isn't a social event,

This is a competition where there's one
winner. Come on, Cheryl, you don't

see... The old boxers before a fight
playing with Jackson juice boxes?

No, no, they talk trash and they beat
the crap out of each other.

That's modeling.

I don't see it that way.

I don't think anybody does.

Well, you see, that's the problem right
there. That's the problem.

That Ruby's just like you. She's a
pushover.

I mean, what's going to happen with the
rest of her life if she's going to have

tons of friends and no trophies?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

There's nothing wrong with being nice.

I can see I caught this just in time.

The kind competitor.

From now on, I, I will take

Ruby to the auditions. I will prepare
her. I will get her competitive.

honey what was i thinking trying to
raise a well -rounded loving human being

apology accepted

jim i'm gonna go on in

ahead of you and uh sign in okay in the
ad

world signing in means i know what it
means okay then i'm gonna go into the

waiting area

Okay, come here, baby.

Just a minute. Are you nervous?

No. Why are your hands cold?

You made me hold your slurpee.

Okay. All right, give me a smile.

Good, good.

Okay, now mad.

Now surprised.

Now incredibly surprised.

Now smile.

My face hurts, Daddy.

Everybody's face hurts, honey.

Now go in there and get that job.

One thing, one thing, one thing.

If it helps,

you're one -sixteenth Cherokee.

Whoa.

Excuse me, but weren't you the regal
snow pants boy?

Yes! Yes, I was.

One size fits all.

I was the snowflake earmuff girl,
remember?

Warm and toasty.

No, I'm sorry. I don't remember that.

Sure you do.

20 years ago.

Stopped living in the past.

This place is packed.

Don't let it throw you.

Scope the place out and there's only one
kid in here that poses a real threat.

Right there.

Haley Michaels.

She's got an Adidas and a Lucky Charms
spot running.

So, that's not good.

Actually, it's great.

She's worked too much. She's
overexposed. No thank you.

So that's good.

Yeah, hard to say. She has a name. Get
away.

Let me go mess with her head.

Hey. How you doing?

That's my daughter over there.

She's auditioning.

Yeah, mine too.

She's over there. Yeah, but you may
recognize my daughter. She was in the

page of the Sunday Chicago Tribune in
the food section eating a cookie.

You know, right next to the obituaries.

My daughter's done TV commercials.

Yeah, well, she's done TV commercials,
too.

And movies.

Yeah, right. What movie?

It was called The Wiseass Father Who Got
His Ass Kicked in the Parking Lot After

the Audition.

Yeah, is that the one where the wiseass
father turns out to be an off -duty cop?

So we're cool?

Yeah.

And because Gia's looks were so
perfect...

They ended up destroying her.

Hey, hey, sweetie. Did you have fun with
Daddy?

It was great.

Uncle Andy got kicked out for making a
girl cry.

Oh, honey, it was really great. You know
what? I got a really great feeling

about this.

They just called. She didn't get it.

That didn't last long.

Probably because she's 116 Cherokee.

Jim, you didn't pull that out, did you?

You weren't so high and mighty about it
when it got us a 3 % mortgage.

You know what? That's it.

Ruby is not doing this anymore. It's too
much rejection for a 6 -year -old. Oh,

honey, come on. Everybody gets rejected.
That's part of life.

That's a lesson they have to learn.

You know, I just want to, you know,
toughen Ruby up a little bit. That's

you think she needs toughening up. Are
you kidding, honey? She's a softie.

I mean, she's always the last in line
for everything.

She always gets stuck with the broken
crayons. And at Halloween, you know, she

actually turns in the money she collects
for UNICEF.

Kids don't do that.

Just worry about her.

Oh, honey, everybody worries about their
kids.

No, I don't worry about Gracie. She's
like me. She's tough.

The other day, I actually saw her take a
piece of meat out of the dog's mouth.

Honey, Ruby's not like Gracie.

Ruby's sensitive.

She's sweet.

She goes out of her way to help others.
Yeah, like you.

Yeah, like me.

You know, you said that the other day. I
mean, when did that become such a bad

thing?

It's not a bad thing.

Actually, it is a great thing.

I mean, I married that thing.

Yeah, all right.

Okay, I guess I'll go upstairs and tell
her that you're going to come upstairs

and tell her that she didn't get the
job.

Yeah.

All right, you're right.

I'll have her agent do it.

Gracie.

Come on. Go downstairs and play with the
dog. And no biting.

Come on out, honey.

Hey, you know what?

I got a really funny joke for you.

Two peanuts were walking down the
street. They didn't pick me.

How did you get there?

You told that joke when my girlfriend
died and when I had to get a shot.

It's a bad joke.

Well, it's not one of my best, but...
How come they never pick me anymore?

Um... Don't they like me?

Look, I don't know why they don't pick
you, sweetie.

But I know it's not because they don't
like you.

You know, I... You know what?

I wasn't really having fun with it
anymore, you know?

I mean, yeah, it was kind of cool at
first, the experience, but there was no

fun. I mean, were you having fun?

Were you? Huh?

So you know what?

Let's not do it anymore.

I mean, we don't have to, right?

We don't? No!

What you and I should be doing, we
should be having fun. We should just

fun.

Right? I want to talk.

Sit still.

Come on, sit still. How am I going to
talk to you if you're not sitting still?

Stay still.

Okay, come here.

Tell me, what do you think is fun? What
do you want to do that's fun?

Soccer.

Really?

Yeah, but I'm not very good at it.

No kidding.

Well, what do you find fun about soccer?

After my team goes out for pizza.

Really? Wow, you are like me.

You want some pizza?

Let's go get some pizza. Wait a minute.

You know what goes good with pizza?

No, Daddy, no!

You know what goes good with pizza?

Body slam!

Body slam!

Playing soccer good can be fun. You just
got to practice. Now, come on. Just

show me how you kick.

No, no. Honey.

Honey.

Let me show you.

Okay, kid. Good morning, sir. You want
to kick it really hard like that.

You're right, Daddy. This is fun.

Not like that, honey.

Okay.

All right.

Now, try it.

Now, get behind. Get behind the ball.

That a girl. That a girl.

That's my girl.

You go to bed in five minutes. Just kill
it. Come on, kill it. Not

just really give me a shot. Come on,
give it to me, baby. Give it to me.
