One of your brother's braces. He's just
getting used to them.

Sorry.

Hey, if you need the school calendar,
it'll be under the fridge magnet. Whoa!

Whoa!

You're just jealous because we fixed
this problem and we can't fix your legs.

What's wrong with my legs?

Nothing if they come with coleslaw and
biscuits, chicken legs.

A week ago.

Angie, where are those bones we give the
dog for his breath?

I can't brush my teeth because my braces
hurt too much.

I can't chew. I can't even sleep.

Well, the dentist has already loosened
them twice.

But they still hurt, and I'm starving.

Okay, well, we'll find a way to feed
you.

Carmen, chew your brother's food for
him.

Come on, you're the closest thing to a
bird we have.

Okay, go upstairs and rinse with
mouthwash. I'll call Dr.

Holland for another appointment.

Oh, man, I hate that dentist.

I'm not crazy about him either, but he's
the only orthodontist your company will

pay for.

Well, I'm going with you this time,
because you're too easy on that guy.

The only reason he's a dentist is
because he couldn't cut it as a doctor.

Well, aren't dentists doctors?

Carmen, this is the way I see it.

There's an order for healers.

If you can't make it as a doctor, you
become a dentist.

Can't make it as a dentist?

Become a vet.

Can't make it as a vet? You become a
chiropractor, then masseuse, then

prostitute.

This is the kind of talk that got you
into that bar fight.

Hey, how did I know that a chiropractor
and a vet would be celebrating a

hooker's birthday?

Well,

I can't find anything wrong.

But they still hurt.

Can't you just take them off?

Okay. Why don't you just listen to some
music and relax a minute?

Your little girl is very brave.

That's my son.

I know. What a wuss.

Look, if my son says he's in pain, he's
in pain.

Look, Lopez, if I loosen the braces
anymore, he's going to swallow them.

going to pass right through him, and
believe me, he won't be faking that

Well, something's wrong. He hasn't had
anything solid to eat for days.

Kids learn how to deal with pain by
watching their parents.

If one of you is the type of person who
always overreacts to the slightest minor

discomfort, he's going to pick up on
that.

Hey, man, you don't know how tough I am.

I've been dealing with pain my whole
life.

The pain of being abandoned by my
father.

And the pain of not being abandoned by
my mother.

So you think you're the only one who's
had it hard, huh?

My dad left me when I was eight.

My dad left when I was two.

Well, my dad came back when I was ten
and beat me till I was twelve.

Well, at least you were beaten by a man.

My mom used to smack me around in the
bra section of the woman's clothing

That hurt, don't you?

So you don't need to fight. Read the
poster.

Every friend... starts with the smile.

Did you take a hit off the laughing gas
while I was in the bathroom?

What are we going to do about Max?

Like I said, there's nothing to do.

All right, well, come on.

Come on, let's go, Max. We'll find
someone else to help you. Oh, I know the

of a good gynecologist.

What's that, Dad? Wait outside.

You know what, man? You're finished.

I'm going to get my boss... to change to
a real dental plan.

Well, you do that, Lopez, but just
remember, I've known your bosses a long

and the only thing they love more than
saving money is firing workers who

complain.

Come on, Angie, we're out of here.

Go ahead, leave.

I'm used to people walking out on me. My
mom locked me in the closet for a day

and a half just so she could go and
party.

Yeah? Well, my neighbor touched me
inappropriately in my no -nos.

That is not true. Look how many... to
win it, baby.

All my friends know the low rider.

Hey, what's all that?

I'm submitting a new budget to the
Powers Brothers. I'm trying to get us a

better dental plan.

They're too cheap, George.

They won't even cover my fiancé's
alcohol rehab.

And I can't get paternity leave because
her baby's not mine.

And they won't cover my foster son
unless I adopt him, and I can't do that

I marry his mother.

Mom, how's this story gonna end?

Jerry!

Jerry Springer couldn't get a whole week
from your life, eh? With your runaway

daughter, your gangbanger son, and
gonorrhea granny over there. Jerry!

Jerry!

I'll take responsibility for my kids,
but not my mom.

Ever since Bob Hope died, somebody has
to entertain the troops.

Hey, Mel and Jack are here.

Good luck with the dental plan. I don't
need luck. I got the cost for this new

policy buried so deep in the budget.

I'll have to dig for a month to find it.

Miscellaneous factory charges.

You want to see this, George?

Oh, yeah.

Got the new budget. Same as last year.
Just need a signature at the bottom.

What the hell's miscellaneous factory
charges?

It's all the little stuff. You know,
postage, coffee creamer, dental plan,

towels.

First one to sign it gets a peppermint.
Ooh.

We're not signing that, George. Redo it.
Come on, man. We need a better dental

plan. It costs a little bit more, but
the workers deserve it.

All I heard was it costs a little more,
and then a bunch of sirens and whistles.

That's funny. I saw a red flag that
said, oh, hell no.

Jack, Mel.

Come on, man. Look, Dr. Holland stinks.

My son's been back there three times to
get his braces loosened, and his mouth

still hurts. No offense, George, but we
can't change the plan just for your kid.

It's not just my son. Everybody in the
factory has to use this guy.

Well, we just don't have any money.

Look, why don't you take your boy's
braces off and he can just cover his

when he laughs or smiles.

It's cute when those Japanese hostesses
do it.

Jack, his kid's in pain.

Now, you're not a parent, so you don't
get it.

Look, George, here's what you do.

You get some painkillers. You put it in
some applesauce and then you eat it.

That way your kid's complaining won't
bother you because you are in a woo -woo

-ville, baby.

How'd it go?

Powers Brothers won't pay for a decent
dental plan, but they'll hide two grand

in the budget for going to strip clubs.

Machine rentals. I'm not stupid. I know
what a lap grinder is.

The only Powers Brother who ever gave a
damn about the workers was Lou.

Is he the oldest one?

Yeah. He left the company about 20 years
ago to spend more time with his family.

He got us the health plan to begin with,
and he's the reason that you were born

in a hospital instead of a bathtub like
Ernie.

I heard Ernie's mom was just taking a
bath, but she was so big she didn't even

know she was pregnant.

She sneezed, and Ernie popped out to his
shoulders.

Well, all I know is that Jack and Mel
said we didn't have the money, but Lou

made it happen.

He's a financial genius.

You know, maybe he's got some budget
trick he could teach me.

Hey, hey, what are you doing? I got his
phone number out of the personnel file.

Are you crazy?

Oh, the brothers had a huge falling out
with Lou when he left. If they find out

that you're going behind their backs,
they'll fire you.

Then they won't find out.

And I'll get it done in secret.

Because that's what I do. Get things
done. Hello.

Well, you always were a confident little
guy. No matter how many times you

failed.

I'm going to find a date to homecoming,
Mommy.

You would have let me bite deodorant.

Hey, I gave you lemons to rub under your
arms.

Mom, I smell like a lemon's ass.

Hey, Lou Powers?

George Lopez.

Oh, so you're Benny's little boy.

Yeah, I was a little nervous when you
called. You're not here to tell me I'm

your dad, are you?

What? Is that possible? No.

Why'd you call?

Well, I'm having a little problem with
my budget.

And my mom says you're a financial
genius, and I was hoping you could help

find money for a better dental plan.

Why should I help you?

Well, my son's having a problem with his
braces, and I figure since you're a

family guy, you know how important that
is.

Correction. I used to be a family guy.

They walked out on me and never looked
back. Now I sleep till noon, wake up in

my own sick, and keep on drinking.

You're still a financial genius, though,
right?

My wife told me to get the hell out
because I had a drinking problem. I

hey, I'm not the one waving the knife
around.

You want to see what a butter knife can
do to a man if there's enough hate

behind it?

I'll show you. That's okay.

I'll tell you what, you help me figure
out this budget, Lou, you can show me

anything you want. Scars, tattoos,
nipple rings, I don't care, I'm not

judge you.

What do you think, any wiggle room? What
is this?

What is this? What is this?

See,

we used to have the best dental plan in
the business.

I should walk right down there and make
them put it back.

Wish it was that easy. Oh, hey, it is.

I'm the oldest.

I still have a controlling interest in
that company.

Hey.

Let's go down there together, you and
me, right now, and we'll spank some

into those weasels.

No, I can't do that, Lou. No way, man. I
can't have Jack and Mel know that I

went behind their backs.

Yeah, but you got me riding shotgun.

Come on, cowboy up, George.

We're going in, guns blazing, you and
me. Let's go, buddy.

Hey,

Keith. Huh? You know what they used to
do in the old cowboy days? What?

They'd stay in the saloon and fix the
budget.

Very few people know that the Dalton
gang was actually Dalton, Dalton,

and Cohen.

George, don't back down from these guys.

I just want to get my son a better
orthodontist. Hey, we'll get him a

everything. Straight teeth, laser eye
surgery, Botox injections.

He's 12.

Maybe he wants to look 10.

Hey, thanks for taking me home from
Thirsty's last night. Oh man, you were

hammered. To keep up with Lou.

I wanted to get him so drunk he'd forget
what we talked about last night.

Yeah, you know, sorry about just leaning
you up against the front door and

ringing the bell.

I was trying to get the keys out of your
pocket and you were all like, oh man.

Oh baby, that's nice.

Yeah, well, Lou was in worse shape than
I was. Last I remember, he was lying

across the pool table, French kissing
the corner pocket.

Where are my weasels? Oh, God.

Hey, hey, hey. Oh, hallelujah.

Hey, man, I said you didn't have to come
down here.

Are you kidding me?

You're kidding these leg braces. We're
going to do something about it.

Actually, the first teeth.

Well, sometimes a smile is all a
crippled kid's got.

Oh, here come my weasels slinking in
here with their beady eyes and their

weak forelimbs.

Lou, what are you doing here?

You got your check this month?

I took a close look at your budget. It's
appalling.

There's going to be some big changes
around here.

I don't think we've met. I'm George
Lopez, the manager.

Georgie!

Relax, I got you covered, babe.

So, how do you know Georgie?

He asked me to meet him at Thirsty's so
he could tell me about the bad shape his

kid's in.

Okay, let me explain. You know, I
thought we needed a better dental plan,

thought he could help me.

George. You don't have to kiss up to
these guys anymore, man. Call them

Come on, dude, I can't do that. Oh, come
on, George.

Call us weasels.

call you guys mongooses.

They fight snakes, so they're like
weasels, but hard.

I'm a mongoose to say hey.

Hey.

George. Angie, what are you doing here?
I'm in the middle of something.

Excuse me. I really need to talk to my
husband.

It's really important.

George, is that your boy?

Hey, where are your crutches, tiger?

Pain comes in waves.

Let me be your leg, son.

So what's this about, Luke?

Okay, this better be an emergency.

I walked into Max's bedroom, and he was
eating beef jerky.

Well, thank God you came down here
instead of calling, because that's the

of thing you need to hear in person.

lying about his teeth. They don't really
hurt, and I want to stop you before you

make a big deal about the dentist.

Tell your father.

I just wanted my braces off because I
didn't want Jenny Gomez to see my mouth.

Who the hell is Jenny Gomez?

She's in my math class, and we used to
talk every day.

And since I got braces, she won't even
look at me.

working. This is all because you got the
hots for a 12 -year -old.

I don't think you understand.

I love her.

Hey, you don't know anything about love.
You want to know what love feels like?

Go get your braces tightened, huh? And
when they hurt, tighten them some more

and burn all your money and wave goodbye
to fun and get ready to spend the rest

of your life listening. Can you finish
this? Because you know where I'm going.

I can do whatever I want, so screw you.

Look, guys, the whole dental thing was a
lie.

I made it up because I wanted to bring
three

brothers back together again.

So if you're going to be mad at me, do
it as a family because that's what you

guys are.

Weak, George.

Very weak.

In my defense, I didn't have a lot of
time, man, from the door to right here.

What's going on here, George?

Look, I thought my son was in pain.

Okay, turns out the dentist is fine.

But Max was lying because he wanted to
get his braces off for a girl.

You got me all worked up for nothing?

Man, you're wasting my time.

You were just drinking.

Just drinking?

I suppose Da Vinci was just painting.

It's all yours, boys. I'm going back to
Thirsty's.

Look, I know you guys are mad, huh?

I know I'm in a lot of trouble, but can
you give me an idea of how mad you guys

are, like a number between one and ten?

You went behind our backs. You betrayed
us, George.

We were calling it, what, like a three?

How'd it go at work?

Well, they didn't fire me yet.

Hey, Mom, I told you you'd be okay.

Yeah, but it's not okay to lie, Max.

But nothing happened, so everything's
fine, right?

Max, can you get the door?

What are the Powers brothers doing here?

Play along, it's cool.

Jack? Mel, what are you guys doing here?

What you did today was unacceptable.

George, you're fired.

What?

No, come on, man. Don't do this.

I'm not in front of my kid.

You can't fire my dad.

It wasn't his fault.

I liked a girl, so I lied.

Your lie cost your daddy's job.

And boy, if I did that, it would make me
feel like crap.

Unless, of course, I was an ungrateful,
dirty daddy -hater.

I didn't know.

How are we going to pay our mortgage?

How are we going to eat?

We're going to end up... On the street!

Okay, pull it back there, drama club.

Okay, Max, relax. All right, calm down.

I'm not really getting fired.

I just asked Jack and Mel to come over
here to pretend to fire me to teach you

lesson.

None of this was real?

No, no. We just agreed to help out your
dad because we were touched that a

father would put his job in jeopardy to
help his son.

Thanks, guys. Good night.

Not so touched that we're just going to
forget you went behind our backs.

Don't you think there should be some
consequences for that, George?

Well, if there's one thing I've learned
from watching kung fu movies, it's that

my shame is my greatest punishment.

And that if you can fly, you're probably
going to win the fight. I'll see you

Monday.

Oh, we got something else in mind for
you, Lopez.

So, I bet you like playing soccer, huh
there, little fella?

Yeah, I have a game Saturday.

Oh, well, your daddy's going to miss it
because he's working weekends for the

next five months.

Bet you like eating dinner with your
dad, too, huh? Say no, Max, say no. Too

late.

He's on the night shift.

There's one more thing we need you to
do.

So, this here was all a huge
misunderstanding.

Jack and Mel want you to stay on as the
company dentist.

Really? Well, if you really trust me as
your dentist, you're getting a chair.

You're due for a cleaning.

No, that's okay. I do all my own dental
work. You know, I clean my teeth, fill

my cavities. I even send myself a
postcard every six months that says, I

you, and that's the tooth.

Get in the chair.

Yeah, but I... Get in the chair.

Yeah, that's okay. No problem. I trust
you. No hard feelings.

Wow, that is a great picture.

When did you meet Desmond Tutu?

That is my wife.

That's a handsome woman.
