Daddy's busy with a very important
project here, honey. If he doesn't

on time, his boss gets very angry.

Daddy, where do babies come from?

Well, when a mommy and daddy love each
other very much, and there's

nothing good on TV, they drink a magical
potion that's brewed in the city of

Milwaukee.

Nine months later, you're born.

So babies come from Milwaukee?

Yes, they do.

Thanks, Daddy.

There's a real father -daughter moment
to remember.

I was trying to make a sandwich.

Sandwich could have waited.

Well, that's where you're wrong, Judy.
This ham expires today.

What happens when Tina finds out
everything you told her is a lie? Oh,

then she'll resent me for so many other
things.

Hey, Brian.

Hi. How was school?

Horrible. Well, that's why they call it
school.

Well, Brian, come back here.

What's wrong?

Gym class.

I stuck at basketball and got a pig on
me.

Well, maybe you could tell the gym
teacher to talk to those boys.

Yeah, and while you're hanging from the
flagpole by your jockstrap, look around,

see if you can find a new school.

Bill, our son needs some advice. High
school's tough.

No, it's not. It was a blast.

That was us.

We were cool. Look at him. He needs
help.

I'm right here, Mom.

I know. I'm just trying to toughen you
up, sweetie.

Listen, Brian, if you want him to stop
picking on you, you have to take matters

into your own hands.

Want to learn how to bite?

No, son, fake an injury.

Wearing a knee brace, people cut your
slack.

Isn't that dishonest?

Okay, you want honest, you're pale, and
you're good at math.

Otherwise known as a target.

So where am I supposed to get a knee
brace? In my closet.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, hey, hey, don't run.

Limp.

You see what I just did? I just solved
my son's problem.

Looks like when it comes to this
parenting thing, I rule.

Oh, yeah, you rule.

What if I told them big, giant lies
every time they came to me for advice?

Honey, that's mine. Get your own thing.

I'm still in love with you today Cause
you make me happy

Don't forget to pick up the cake for
your daughter's birthday party this

weekend.

Lauren.

Thirteen.

I know it's Lauren and she's 13.

She's the taller one, right?

I'll get it, I'll get it, I'll get it.

Hello? Yes, Dad, get off the phone, get
off the phone. Why, yes, I think we do

need our deck sealed.

We don't even have a deck.

I've just been informed that we don't
have a deck. Perhaps you could seal my

daughter's mouth shut.

Mom.

My daughter wants to use the phone. Do
you have kids?

Ah, they're so cute at that age.

Word of advice, don't teach them to
talk.

I'm going to find some guy on the
Internet to send me a bus ticket.

Well, Mr. Florida, get me one, too.

What's with that one?

Oh, it's her birthday party. She wants
to invite Alex Borden, and she's waiting

for him to call.

Why can't she just call him?

You don't just call a boy. She had to
tell Tiffany to call Lisa, to call Brad,

to tell Alex to call Lauren about some
homework.

Oh, my God. Tiffany is totally talking
to Brad again?

Just stay off the phone. Why should I?
It's my house. I'm the boss.

Okay, it's the bank's house, and you're
the boss, but she still can't tell us

what to do. Where are you going?

To talk to her. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Bill, you don't get it. Our daughter's
about to become a teenager.

This is where I take over.

You're done.

She won't need you again until it's time
to pay for the wedding.

So now that she's a teenager, I have no
role to play in my daughter's life.

Listen, I've spent a lot of time
planning this party, and I want her to

nice 13th birthday, so just pretend
she'd like the exercise bike in the

and leave her alone.

Trade you the phone for the remote.

Mind if I watch the game?

Watch whatever you want. Okay.

So, almost 13, huh?

Quite an age.

If I remember correctly, B .O. was a big
problem.

That still going on with the boys?

Listen,

I'm sorry about the phone thing earlier.

It's okay.

So this Alex hasn't made any moves, has
he?

Not like that.

But he likes you, right?

I don't know. My friends say he does.

He's always doing weird stuff, like
kicking my chair, tying my shoelaces

together. Oh, he likes you.

That's the kind of stuff you do when you
like someone.

I used to snap your mother's bra.

I still do that.

I still like her.

Honey, you're smart, you're beautiful.
The boys are going to go crazy over you.

Really? Of course.

I just wish Alex would call.

I know you do, sweetie, and he'd be
stupid not to.

Thanks, Dad.

You're welcome, Pumpkin.

But then boys are stupid, so he might
never call you.

I'm just saying boys are just fickle at
that age. He might be kicking a lot of

girls' chairs, but that doesn't mean
you're not special to me.

So you're saying he likes lots of other
girls and he's never going to call?

What did you do?

No, I just... Dad says I'm a total
loser.

I did not.

Just out of curiosity, Bill, when we
were in the kitchen and I told you to...

stay out of it. Was there like a circus
song playing in your head?

I was doing great. She said thank you.

Then I just said one more thing and it
all went to hell.

Mom, can you come up here?

Sure, honey.

You know why she wants to talk to me,
don't you? Because I rule.

Fine. You take care of her. I'll take
care of the other kids.

Daddy, where's the scissors?

Top drawer, sweetie. Next to the knives.

Oh, let me help you with that, honey.

Hello? Anybody?

I'm home.

Hey, Bill.

Hello? Anybody good? I'm home.

Oh, hi, honey. Guess who Lauren's in
there on the phone with. Oh, let me take

stab at it. Does it begin with an A and
end with a Lex?

Yeah, Alex. He finally called her.

Really?

Wonder how that could have happened. I
don't know. Tiffany probably told Lisa

tell Alex.

Yep. Maybe.

Or... What did you do?

I'm having lunch at the food court
today.

I went with a sub. The pizza looked a
little dry and I had Chinese yesterday.

Bill, Bill, Bill!

Who do I see standing over by the burger
place but our little friend Alex

Borden? Please tell me you did not talk
to him. So I'm talking to him. Oh, no.

And I tell him that Lauren really likes
him and he should call her. He's a

little hesitant until they bring his
order and he's a dollar short.

I make up the difference, and... You
told a boy that our daughter liked him,

then you paid him to call her?

Ta -da!

You know, for your next trick, you might
want to try pulling your head out of

your ass.

What?

You're not afraid your daughter will
find out you paid a boy to call her? I

didn't pay him. I fed him.

Come on, Bill. Linda's right. If Lauren
finds out about this, she's going to go

crazy. How's she going to find out?

Well,

I don't know. Maybe the kid would tell
her.

That could have been a scream of
happiness.

Oh, I hear you got a phone call.

You made him call me?

Who's my little girl? Who's my little
girl?

I can't believe you. Honey, your father
just made a stupid mistake.

Because he's...

Well, stupid, but... It'll all blow
over. No one will remember it by the

your party. I don't want a party. I
can't ever face my friends again.

Well, Bill, I hope you're happy. I told
you to stay out of it. For once in your

life, you couldn't listen to me.

Sometimes you make me so angry.

Who's my big girl?

Lauren home yet?

No, she went to the mall.

Oh, because I have a surprise for her.

That's a good idea. Get right back on
that horse and ride it off a cliff.

Oh, hey, sweetie, how's the mall?

Fine.

Lauren, I know you're mad at me, but to
make it up to you, I have a surprise.

Tonight, we're gonna pierce your ears.

Come on, give me that lobe.

Your ears are already pierced. They are?

Huh, they are.

Hey, who said you could get your ears
pierced? We both did when she was 11,

we did it in the doctor's office, not
with a needle and potato, Jethro.

In that case, who wants birthday fries?

I'm not having a birthday party.

Or you could have your party at a Blink
-182 concert.

Okay, we're going to have to talk about
this screaming thing.

Link 182, I can't believe it. I have to
call everybody. I've already invited all

your friends, including Alex.

You didn't talk to him, did you? Oh,
good going, Judy.

Of course not. I told Tiffany to tell
Stephanie to tell Brittany to tell Alex.

Oh, Mom, you rule.

Now, there are eight tickets there, two
are for your father and me.

Oh, you guys are going?

Well, yeah, you're too young to go to a
concert by yourself.

Okay, then I have some rules.

I pick out the clothes you wear, I pick
out the music you play in the van, and

you don't talk to us during the concert.

Or we wear what we want, we play what we
want, we do whatever we want, and you

still get to go to the concert.

Okay.

Who does she think she is making up
rules for us?

Yeah.

Okay, here are the real rules.

I tell you what to wear, you don't sing
along to the radio in the van, and you

don't talk to anyone.

Why do I have rules?

Bill, you told a boy that our daughter
liked him. You could never do that

Fine. But you know, you could have told
me I had concert tickets instead of

leaving me standing there with my potato
in my hand.

Like I could take a potato out of your
hand.

Who me?

Right now.

Lift my grip, please.

I gotta tell you, Judy, it's as if
they're driving to a wall.

Tell you what, pull over there. We'll
stop and get some snacks so you can take

breather. Thank you.

Kids, we're gonna get some snacks.

Doing a real good job not talking to the
kids. Thanks.

You want anything from the store? Oh,
I'm fine.

And don't even think of doing that,
pulling the car away just as you're

to get back in.

Come on, Judy, give me some credit here.

I haven't done that since you were in
labor with Tina.

Concentration.

Names of kids who bug me.

Tiffany.

Letha.

The kid in the hat.

Mr. Miller?

Oh, Alex.

By the way, thanks for buying me that
food the other day.

Milk dud?

So, I wanted to ask you something about
Lauren.

You did say she liked me, right?

No?

But I thought you said she likes me.

Mr.

Miller, are you all right?

Because I can call 911.

She doesn't like you, okay? But you
didn't hear that from me. You didn't

anything from me. Now just leave me
alone.

How's it going?

Fine. Just fine. Can we go now?

Are you all right?

Yep. You're sweating.

No, I'm not.

It's my little girl's birthday. I was
crying.

Under your neck?

Tears roll.

Man, these are bad seats.

complaining. Besides, you can watch the
whole concert on the Jumbotron.

Wow. An 80 -foot -tall television.

I think we could... No, Bill.

I wonder why Alex isn't sitting next to
Lorne. Who knows? He's sitting next to

Tiffany. He's not even paying attention
to Lorne. I wonder if something

happened. Judy, kids have minds of their
own.

The important thing is, nobody said
anything to anybody, and we're all

the concert.

What did you do?

Nothing. Did you say something to Alex?

No. Oh, now I know you're lying because
when you lie, you stretch your words

out. I do not.

Dad, did you tell Alex I didn't like
him?

No. Bill!

Dad, why would you tell him that?

I didn't know what to say. I was stuck
in the van with him. He wouldn't let up.

So you told him Lauren didn't like him?

First, I'm not supposed to say she likes
him. Now you're mad at me because I

said she doesn't like him. Give me some
credit here.

At least I didn't blab about how she
goes crazy waiting for him to call.

How she dances with a pillow and
pretends it's him. How she writes Alex

piece of paper over and over again.

Lauren loves Alex.

Lauren loves Alex.

Lauren loves Alex.

Wasn't it a lot louder in here a couple
of seconds ago?

Turn around.

From now on, I'm going to make a note of
what color coat you're wearing.

I just chased a girl who looks like you
for three parking lots.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened.
Please come back to the concert with me.

No.

Come on. Your mother's going to kill me.

No.

Look, I know I screwed up. I was just
trying to help.

But you didn't.

You told me you liked this guy. You said
it was really important to you. What

was I supposed to do?

Uh, nothing.

Now, see, that's the problem.

You're my daughter. I can't just do
nothing. I want you to be happy.

I gotta be honest with you. I'm lost
here.

This was so much simpler when you were
little.

If you were upset, I'd just hold you
upside down, bite your toes, and you'd

laugh, and everything would be okay.

You don't think that would maybe... No.
No.

Look, I'm really sorry I ruined your
birthday, and I have no idea how to make

better. You can't.

I really like this guy, and you
embarrass me in front of all my friends.

There's nothing you can do that's gonna
fix that.

Okay, how about I give you 50 bucks?

What? I'll give you 50 bucks to go back
to the concert and let me off the hook.

Cash?

If you won't take a check, sure.

Well, okay.

Really? You're not insulted that I'm
just buying your love? Just fork it

You know, Punkin, your happiness means
everything to me.

I know, Dad.

We should be getting back.

Oh! And here come two security guards
and the girl I was chasing.

Took care of it.

Don't want to know. Enjoy cancer.

Deal.

Look at our daughter.

Ten minutes ago, it was like the world
was ending.

Now it's like nothing ever happened. I
will never understand.

good steaks.

turned out to be screwed up, I can't
just blame you.

Mom, we still had a good time tonight.

You want to go upstairs for an encore?

Only if you give me a standing O.
