00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,487
- I think she likes me.
- So?
171
00:09:56,663 --> 00:09:58,657
I don't wanna be liked.
I just wanna do my work.
172
00:09:58,832 --> 00:10:01,406
Maybe she wants to do her work too
and she doesn't know how.
173
00:10:01,584 --> 00:10:04,421
Why are you being so selfish? Why
can't you teach her what you know?
174
00:10:04,587 --> 00:10:07,210
Isn't that what we're all here for?
To learn from each another?
175
00:10:07,382 --> 00:10:09,422
You aren't dating Harriet Tubman,
are you?
176
00:10:10,802 --> 00:10:13,590
I know, no longer living.
177
00:10:13,763 --> 00:10:16,255
But a lot of your dates are like that.
178
00:10:26,568 --> 00:10:29,938
Hon? I don't know why
you're driving yourself crazy.
179
00:10:30,113 --> 00:10:33,448
I don't think the guy's gonna go all
around the house, just the living room.
180
00:10:33,616 --> 00:10:35,527
He may want to come in here
for a picture.
181
00:10:35,702 --> 00:10:37,162
- A picture of what?
- I don't know.
182
00:10:37,329 --> 00:10:40,414
But when he does,
it will all be neat and clean.
183
00:10:40,582 --> 00:10:43,121
Do you think the bed would look better
over under the windows?
184
00:10:43,293 --> 00:10:45,915
- Uh, no.
- Hm?
185
00:10:47,297 --> 00:10:49,456
I'm excited that we're gonna
be featured in the paper,
186
00:10:49,632 --> 00:10:52,041
but I don't want any of us
to make this so important
187
00:10:52,218 --> 00:10:54,793
- that we make ourselves crazy.
- By "crazy," do you mean me?
188
00:10:54,971 --> 00:10:57,890
No. Of course not.
189
00:10:58,516 --> 00:11:01,388
I know you only rearrange the furniture
when you're feeling anxious.
190
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:04,230
I don't want you to feel anxious,
everything is going to be fine.
191
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:05,857
Of course it will.
192
00:11:06,274 --> 00:11:09,229
Any idea why the kids have been
back and forth to each others' rooms?
193
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:12,570
I told them to each come up with
something nice to say to the reporter.
194
00:11:12,739 --> 00:11:14,567
They're probably
just letting each other know
195
00:11:14,741 --> 00:11:16,900
what wonderful things
they're gonna say about you.
196
00:11:17,077 --> 00:11:19,366
Yeah. Well, thanks.
I hope you're right.
197
00:11:22,165 --> 00:11:24,574
I need one more promise.
That you won't say anything
198
00:11:24,751 --> 00:11:25,997
about my meeting a guy
199
00:11:26,169 --> 00:11:28,459
when I was doing community service
for getting arrested.
200
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:30,789
I promised I wouldn't say anything
about the arrest.
201
00:11:30,965 --> 00:11:33,503
And you won't say anything
about you-know-who?
202
00:11:33,676 --> 00:11:35,716
- Promise.
- That might not look good either.
203
00:11:35,886 --> 00:11:37,678
- Promise.
- And besides,
204
00:11:37,846 --> 00:11:40,173
I don't need a reminder
that the best place to meet a guy
205
00:11:40,349 --> 00:11:42,093
might not be community service.

00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:45,305

00:11:46,188 --> 00:11:49,523
Promise. But don't say anything
about the time I cut Sarah's hair.

210
00:11:51,026 --> 00:11:54,028
Or the time I gave the twins eggs
for their birthday.
211
00:11:54,196 --> 00:11:55,312
Promise.
212
00:11:55,489 --> 00:11:58,444
Or the time I drew a naked man
for art class.
213
00:12:00,995 --> 00:12:02,110
Oops.
214
00:12:02,287 --> 00:12:05,622
Promise. Just don't mention anything
about my boyfriends.

Get Mary.
225
00:12:40,117 --> 00:12:41,493
I just wanted to make sure
226
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:43,654
that each of you was thinking
about what I said,
227
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:45,621
and that you know
what you are going to say
228
00:12:45,789 --> 00:12:47,249
and what you are not going to say.

- We've been doing that all night.
- Yeah.

- All night.

Help.

The brake stuck.

00:13:17,946 --> 00:13:20,652
- Thanks.
- You on your way to pick up a patient?
237
00:13:20,824 --> 00:13:22,284
- Yes.
- Swap this chair off first.
238
00:13:22,451 --> 00:13:24,658
- That brake might be a problem.
- I don't have time.
239
00:13:24,828 --> 00:13:27,320
Elizabeth, take the time.
Don't wait till you have a patient
240
00:13:27,498 --> 00:13:30,334
to have something go wrong.
It'll take you two seconds.
241
00:13:35,172 --> 00:13:37,462
Weren't you supposed to get
Mrs. Thomas down to X-ray?
242
00:13:37,633 --> 00:13:40,006
No, Matt Camden
was supposed to take her.
243
00:13:40,177 --> 00:13:42,586
But I saw him heading down
to the room with this chair
244
00:13:42,763 --> 00:13:47,225
and I noticed it had a brake problem,
so I told him I'd swap it out for him.
245
00:13:47,518 --> 00:13:50,520
Then he yelled at me
for making him late.
246
00:13:50,688 --> 00:13:54,307
And I told him he simply wasn't taking
any patient anywhere in this chair.
247
00:13:54,483 --> 00:13:57,520
Thank you, Elizabeth, I appreciate that.
I should have a talk with Matt.
248
00:13:57,695 --> 00:14:02,440
Oh, I'd be careful if I were you.
He has a really nasty temper.
249
00:14:02,615 --> 00:14:06,317
I think he's putting in
a few too many hours.
250
00:14:12,375 --> 00:14:14,000
Did you come up with a story yet?
251
00:14:14,168 --> 00:14:15,498
Yeah, did you come up with one?
252
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:18,043
No, I didn't. What's your story?
253
00:14:18,214 --> 00:14:21,169
It's a good one.
My Aunt Julie used to drink a lot.
254
00:14:21,342 --> 00:14:22,672
And she hid it from everyone.
255
00:14:22,844 --> 00:14:26,130
When she stayed at our house
she hid a liquor bottle in her suitcase.
256
00:14:26,305 --> 00:14:28,679
One day when she was drinking,
she yelled at my brother.
257
00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:30,049
My mom threw her out.
258
00:14:30,226 --> 00:14:31,852
Then my dad helped her
to stop drinking
259
00:14:32,020 --> 00:14:34,227
and sent her to a place
where doctors could help her.
260
00:14:34,397 --> 00:14:35,513
And she got all better.
261
00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:37,684
She got a job at a high school,
teaching,
262
00:14:37,859 --> 00:14:40,433
and met a doctor
and fell in love with him.
263
00:14:40,611 --> 00:14:43,364
And then they got married
and had a baby at our house.
264
00:14:43,865 --> 00:14:45,823
She decided
to name the baby Erica.
265
00:14:45,992 --> 00:14:49,113
Eric after my dad,
and "a" after my mom, Annie.
266
00:14:49,287 --> 00:14:51,197
And they lived happily ever after.
267
00:14:51,372 --> 00:14:53,200
Wow, that was a great story.
268
00:14:53,374 --> 00:14:55,249
I sure hope Mrs. Beasley thinks so.

No, that's all right.
I'll think of something.

Really, I'll help you.

No, no. Nothing's wrong.

I understand
Matt is working for you now.

Well, yes, he is.

00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:29,659
Are you sure there's nothing wrong?
282
00:15:29,827 --> 00:15:33,114
Nothing's wrong.
But before something goes wrong,
283
00:15:33,289 --> 00:15:35,532
I thought I'd just give you
a little friendly call
284
00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:38,959
to let you know that
I'm a little bit concerned about Matt.
285
00:15:39,128 --> 00:15:42,249
Well, have you talked to Matt
about this?

Chrissy,
why don't you tell your story?
288
00:15:58,106 --> 00:16:02,151
My Aunt Judy used to drink a lot,
and she tried to hide it from everybody.
289
00:16:02,318 --> 00:16:05,154
But she came to stay with us
and she couldn't hide it anymore.
290
00:16:05,321 --> 00:16:09,237
Because one day she drank so much
she yelled at my brother.
291
00:16:09,409 --> 00:16:12,529
- You don't even have a brother.
- Ruthie Camden,

like that, young lady.

Go on, Chrissy.
295
00:16:21,796 --> 00:16:24,086
So my dad, he's a doctor,
296
00:16:24,256 --> 00:16:27,009
he saved her life
by getting her to quit drinking.
297
00:16:27,175 --> 00:16:28,920
And she married a lawyer
and they had twins
298
00:16:29,094 --> 00:16:30,838
and they lived happily ever after.

00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:34,052

- Isn't that a wonderful story?
300
00:16:34,224 --> 00:16:37,926
I think that Chrissy may be
a contender for the cash prize.
301
00:16:51,408 --> 00:16:53,402
I kept the car today
to run some errands

No. No, not at all.

Well, I'm not happy, but I'll do it.

I love work. For the first time in my life
I really love work.

It's great. I'm doing really well.

I'm sure you are.
328
00:17:56,682 --> 00:18:00,182
But it must be stressful
working around so many sick people.
329
00:18:00,352 --> 00:18:04,398
I kind of realised I'd be around
sick people when I signed up.

00:18:04,564 --> 00:18:07,353

Yeah. Okay, okay.

00:18:17,953 --> 00:18:19,911
Is there something else going on?
336
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,741
Am I dying or something?
337
00:18:21,915 --> 00:18:25,202
No, no. I'm just being a mom.
Just-- Just checking in on you.
338
00:18:25,377 --> 00:18:27,536
So I'll-- I'll go now.
339
00:18:27,713 --> 00:18:31,130
Just take it easy
and don't work too hard.
340
00:18:36,513 --> 00:18:38,341
Hi, Matt.
341
00:18:42,811 --> 00:18:44,140
The guy's a zombie.
342
00:18:44,312 --> 00:18:48,311
Which I prefer, by the way,
to his other personality.
343
00:18:48,483 --> 00:18:51,152
Hey, I just saw your mom,
she said I should keep an eye on you.
344
00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,277
- Are you all right?
- I'm fine.
345
00:18:53,446 --> 00:18:55,902
That's what I told her.
What you doing after work?
346
00:18:56,073 --> 00:18:58,612
I have class.
I have to do this interview for my dad.
347
00:18:58,784 --> 00:19:00,161
I was hoping you'd come with me.
348
00:19:00,328 --> 00:19:03,579
I have a meeting with that crackpot
politician we saw on TV yesterday.
349
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:05,124
Yeah? What are you going to say?
350
00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:07,960
Just tell him how I feel.
Confront him directly.
351
00:19:08,127 --> 00:19:10,121
- About the poetry?
- Not just about the poetry.
352
00:19:10,296 --> 00:19:14,129
It's about laying claim to
the black man's experience, all right?
353
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:16,922
Or the black woman's experience,
as the case may be.
354
00:19:17,094 --> 00:19:19,302
Well, sorry I can't be there.
355
00:19:19,472 --> 00:19:21,216
Has there actually been
a heated discussion
356
00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:24,143
about poetry in this century?
357
00:19:28,105 --> 00:19:30,680
Oh, your mom gave this to me
to give to you.
358
00:19:33,778 --> 00:19:35,356
I knew it. Drugs.
359
00:19:35,529 --> 00:19:39,149
He's on drugs,
that's why he acts so crazy.
360
00:19:43,913 --> 00:19:45,705
- Sam.
- Hi.
361
00:19:45,873 --> 00:19:46,905
Come on-- Whoa!

[CLATTERING]
363
00:19:51,504 --> 00:19:52,667
- Come in.
- Thanks.
364

Pull up a chair.
365
00:19:54,465 --> 00:19:57,301
Glad you had the time to meet with me.
I know how busy you must be.
366
00:19:57,468 --> 00:19:59,260
Well, you know,
367
00:19:59,428 --> 00:20:01,588
I'm honoured that you would feel
that my family
368
00:20:01,764 --> 00:20:03,923
is worthy of the family section
of the Sunday paper.
369
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:06,342
It's something I've always enjoyed
reading myself.
370
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,263
I've run across person after person
371
00:20:08,437 --> 00:20:10,976
who knows either you or Annie
or one of the kids.
372
00:20:11,148 --> 00:20:13,723
Seems that everyone in Glenoak
knows you.
373
00:20:13,901 --> 00:20:16,191
And I want you to know
that you don't have to worry.
374
00:20:16,362 --> 00:20:19,198
This isn't some sort of exposé.
375
00:20:19,365 --> 00:20:22,071
I'm going to show you the story
before it goes to press.
376
00:20:22,243 --> 00:20:26,158
So you'll have complete approval
of both the copy and the pictures.
377
00:20:26,330 --> 00:20:28,869
- Well, that certainly puts me at ease.
- Why's that?
378
00:20:29,041 --> 00:20:32,376
It's just with seven kids,
five of them who talk,
379
00:20:32,545 --> 00:20:34,835
the odds are pretty good
that someone will say something
380
00:20:35,006 --> 00:20:37,498
that might not look so good in print.
381
00:20:39,051 --> 00:20:42,338
Kids are like that.
I cannot wait to meet them.
382
00:20:45,683 --> 00:20:47,760
Fortunately, my dad knew someone,
who knew someone,
383
00:20:47,935 --> 00:20:50,723
and they got me into this programme,
so I didn't have to go to jail.
384
00:20:50,896 --> 00:20:52,724
And that's where you met
the boyfriend?
385
00:20:52,898 --> 00:20:54,442
I knew he couldn't be trusted.
386
00:20:54,608 --> 00:20:56,234
My dad told me
he couldn't be trusted.
387
00:20:56,402 --> 00:20:58,028
Yet he let you date him?
388
00:20:58,195 --> 00:21:00,189
He believes in letting us
make our own mistakes.
389
00:21:00,364 --> 00:21:03,319
And I make a lot of mistakes.
390
00:21:05,703 --> 00:21:08,539
I went out with Rick, Mary's
old boyfriend's brother, after Andrew.
391
00:21:08,706 --> 00:21:11,079
After Brad, but before Andrew Nayloss
the second time,
392
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:12,662
which wasn't really a date.
393
00:21:12,835 --> 00:21:15,208
He just insinuated himself
into the date with Brad.
394
00:21:15,379 --> 00:21:17,288
How's Dad with all these boyfriends?
395
00:21:17,464 --> 00:21:19,623
He can't stand them.
396
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,126
But that's not his fault, or their fault.
397
00:21:22,302 --> 00:21:24,545
I'm the one that can't be trusted.
398
00:21:24,721 --> 00:21:26,928
Wait, that didn't come out right.

Thanks.
400
00:21:34,481 --> 00:21:37,150
But your dad said
you were just being one of the guys.
401
00:21:37,317 --> 00:21:40,235
Exactly, but they kicked me
out of school for it anyway.
402
00:21:40,403 --> 00:21:43,820
Yeah. Of course that gave us an
opportunity to spend some quality time.
403
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:46,067
- When were you expelled?
- Suspended.
404

That's practically the only time
I've ever gotten in trouble.
405
00:21:48,912 --> 00:21:51,119
- "Practically"?
- Well,
406
00:21:51,289 --> 00:21:53,366
you know, I tried smoking cigarettes.
407
00:21:53,541 --> 00:21:56,330
That's normal for a guy my age.
408
00:22:00,632 --> 00:22:04,049
Oh, yeah, and I gave Deena, that's
the girl I'm in love with, a big hickey.
409
00:22:04,219 --> 00:22:06,592
I had to stick around the house
a few weeks for that one.
410
00:22:06,763 --> 00:22:09,136
But Dad was pretty understanding
about that too.
411
00:22:09,307 --> 00:22:11,680
I mean, why wouldn't he be?
He has seven kids.
412
00:22:16,606 --> 00:22:19,015
Why don't you reload
while I talk to Sam?
413
00:22:19,192 --> 00:22:21,102
Okay.
414
00:22:22,737 --> 00:22:25,146
So nobody told you
that I cut Sarah's hair,
415
00:22:25,323 --> 00:22:28,029
or I gave the twins eggs,
or I drew a naked man?
416
00:22:28,201 --> 00:22:30,195
- No.
- Good for them.
417
00:22:30,745 --> 00:22:32,027
Now, where was I?
418
00:22:32,205 --> 00:22:35,955
Oh, yeah. I wasn't even thinking
when I told this Chrissy my story.
419
00:22:36,126 --> 00:22:39,293
And even if I was thinking,
I wouldn't think she'd steal my story.
420
00:22:39,462 --> 00:22:42,666
I couldn't believe it. She doesn't
even have a drunk Aunt Judy.
421
00:22:42,841 --> 00:22:45,249
- But you do?
- Well, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
422

My Aunt Julie is my dad's drunk sister.
But he made her all better.
423
00:22:49,514 --> 00:22:51,840
He stayed locked up
in his bedroom with her for days.

That's how he sobers people up.

- How did it go?
- It didn't.
426
00:23:13,580 --> 00:23:15,953
I spent two hours down at that guy's
campaign headquarters
427
00:23:16,124 --> 00:23:18,533
just to find out he was across town
making a speech.
428
00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:21,379
And if that speech has one word
of Harriet Tubman's work in it,

and give him a piece of my mind.

Oh, gosh, I don't wanna be here
to watch you screw that up.

Maybe I'll just go back down
to the hospital

and dig that tape out of the VCR
in the waiting room.

clean up here?

- I'm a little insulted.
- Oh, you shouldn't be.

No. I didn't even know the living room

Sorry about that.

Sharon Peacock called
in the middle of rearranging,

But when I got home,
you were with Sam

00:25:13,282 --> 00:25:16,200
and I just didn't get a chance
to tell you until now.
470
00:25:16,368 --> 00:25:18,528
- So anyway.
- Well, Sharon thinks that Matt

She can't. She's his boss.

to tell me about something
that happened in library class today.

Do you want to tell me about it?

No, I was really mad about it,
479
00:25:38,307 --> 00:25:41,475
but once I talked to Sam,
I pretty much got it out of my system.
480

Oh, we'd still like to hear about it.
481
00:25:43,896 --> 00:25:47,562
Basically, I told this ratfink Chrissy
the story I was going to tell in class.
482
00:25:47,733 --> 00:25:49,892
And then this ratfink Chrissy
tells my story.
483
00:25:50,069 --> 00:25:51,315
Just stole it from me.
484
00:25:51,487 --> 00:25:54,904
And she didn't even tell it that good
and she still won the $5 prize.
485
00:25:55,074 --> 00:25:58,029
Which you then tried
to take away from her.
486
00:25:58,535 --> 00:26:00,363
I didn't try to take it away from her
for me.
487
00:26:00,537 --> 00:26:02,531
I tried to get her to give it back
to the library
488
00:26:02,706 --> 00:26:05,329
because she cheated and
she shouldn't have won the money.
489
00:26:05,501 --> 00:26:08,503
And what story is it
that you think Chrissy stole from you?
490
00:26:08,671 --> 00:26:11,671
The one about Aunt Julie being a drunk
and Dad making her all better.
491
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:15,506
And her getting married to a doctor
and naming the baby after you guys.
492
00:26:15,677 --> 00:26:17,504
And you mentioned this
to Sam Robbins?
493
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:20,467
He said if Chrissy were an adult,
I could probably sue her.
494
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,393
But since we're both kids,
he's afraid it's just tough luck.
495
00:26:26,479 --> 00:26:28,022
So, what else did you say to Sam?
496
00:26:28,189 --> 00:26:30,017
Nothing, except about Aunt Julie.
497
00:26:34,529 --> 00:26:36,522

00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:41,074
But I didn't say anything bad
about Dad.
500
00:26:41,577 --> 00:26:42,610
Okay.
501
00:26:43,121 --> 00:26:44,664
Other than
maybe he had connections
502
00:26:44,831 --> 00:26:46,705
who had connections
who helped me out.
503
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,211
All I told him was that I had a million
boyfriends and I got caught making out.
504
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:54,587
But I didn't say anything bad
about Dad.
505
00:26:54,757 --> 00:26:56,917
Other than
maybe he doesn't trust anyone.
506
00:26:59,846 --> 00:27:01,720
I told him I got suspended
from school.
507
00:27:01,889 --> 00:27:04,512
But I didn't say anything bad
about Dad.
508
00:27:04,684 --> 00:27:07,639
Other than-- Maybe implied
that he said all guys give the finger.
509
00:27:11,858 --> 00:27:14,776
I'm going to go straighten out
the furniture in the living room.
510
00:27:14,944 --> 00:27:18,314
And the kids are going to help.
511
00:27:18,489 --> 00:27:20,649
We're going to put it all back.
512
00:27:20,825 --> 00:27:23,494
All back, just the way it was.
513
00:27:26,539 --> 00:27:29,576
Come on. Finally.
514
00:27:37,925 --> 00:27:39,800
I have a dream.
515
00:27:42,347 --> 00:27:44,506
You do not have a dream!
516
00:27:44,682 --> 00:27:46,510
You do not have a dream!
517
00:27:46,684 --> 00:27:48,642
You do not have a dream.
518
00:27:48,811 --> 00:27:51,350
Where do you get off
saying you've got a dream?
519
00:27:51,522 --> 00:27:54,477
You have no dream. You--
520
00:27:54,942 --> 00:27:55,975
What?
521
00:27:56,152 --> 00:27:59,902
I warned them,
your mother warned them. But still...
522
00:28:00,907 --> 00:28:02,402
They said all the wrong things.
523
00:28:02,575 --> 00:28:05,530
MATT: Don't worry about it. The guy
seemed pretty harmless to me.
524
00:28:07,955 --> 00:28:11,326
You know, I stick to,
if you don't have anything nice to say,
525
00:28:11,501 --> 00:28:12,664
don't say anything at all.
526
00:28:12,835 --> 00:28:14,379
Define "anything at all."
527
00:28:14,545 --> 00:28:16,254
You know.
528
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,302
Okay, I might have mentioned
that I had to move out of the house.
529
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:24,262
- Because...?
- Because
530
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:26,803
- I'm grown up now. I'm a man.
- Uh-huh.
531
00:28:26,974 --> 00:28:28,802
I had to get out.
532
00:28:28,977 --> 00:28:31,350
To be, you know, a man.
533
00:28:32,897 --> 00:28:35,519
A man doesn't live in a garage
or an attic.
534
00:28:37,776 --> 00:28:41,111
What manly things
are you doing here
535
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:44,032
that you can't do in a garage
or an attic?
536
00:28:45,492 --> 00:28:47,071
I don't know, nothing?
537
00:28:49,204 --> 00:28:50,534
I entertain.
538
00:28:50,706 --> 00:28:52,580
Entertain.
539
00:28:53,291 --> 00:28:55,581
- Women.
- What women?
540
00:28:56,878 --> 00:28:58,255
Women friends.
541
00:28:58,422 --> 00:29:00,996
Friends who are women.
542
00:29:02,384 --> 00:29:03,665
Friends.
543
00:29:03,844 --> 00:29:07,214
So you basically told him
that you had to move out
544
00:29:07,389 --> 00:29:08,553
because you have to entertain
545
00:29:08,724 --> 00:29:10,931
the many woman friends
you have in your life.
546
00:29:11,435 --> 00:29:12,681
Yeah. What's the big deal?
547
00:29:12,853 --> 00:29:14,681
I don't know.
548
00:29:15,522 --> 00:29:20,399
Does Shana have any women friends
who might tell her about
549
00:29:20,569 --> 00:29:21,815
your many women friends?
550
00:29:21,987 --> 00:29:24,775
Or any women friends
who can send her a newspaper?
551
00:29:24,948 --> 00:29:26,741
Yeah, but we broke up.
552
00:29:26,908 --> 00:29:29,531
I mean, you know,
we didn't break up but we're--
553
00:29:29,703 --> 00:29:31,198
You're free to see other people.
554
00:29:31,371 --> 00:29:34,290
This is all your fault, you know.
I told you they'd get the dirt.
555
00:29:34,458 --> 00:29:37,875
No one wants to read
about a squeaky-clean family.
556
00:29:38,045 --> 00:29:39,540
Really? Because I find that people
557
00:29:39,713 --> 00:29:42,419
generally look for squeaky-clean
in a minister's family.
558
00:29:42,591 --> 00:29:43,967
What's wrong with entertaining?
559
00:29:44,134 --> 00:29:48,762
What's wrong
with a good "family" anecdote?
560
00:29:48,930 --> 00:29:51,304
Oh, like the other kids told?
561
00:29:51,475 --> 00:29:52,934
Oh, yeah.
562
00:29:55,979 --> 00:29:58,554
- I just got fired from the hospital.
- Why?
563
00:29:58,732 --> 00:30:01,306
Because evidently
Matt and I are on drugs.
564
00:30:02,569 --> 00:30:04,479
I'm not on drugs.
565
00:30:04,655 --> 00:30:05,770
I'm sure not on drugs.
566
00:30:05,947 --> 00:30:08,653
- Well, so who said we're on drugs?
- I have no idea.
567
00:30:08,825 --> 00:30:10,985
Why would anyone even
think we're on drugs?
568
00:30:12,496 --> 00:30:14,489
Well, I kind of threw a tape at the TV
569
00:30:14,665 --> 00:30:17,239
when I saw that politician
quote Martin Luther King.
570
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:18,616
Oh, George Orfield?
571
00:30:18,794 --> 00:30:20,419
Yeah.
572
00:30:22,214 --> 00:30:24,504
But why would anyone think
Matt is on drugs?
573
00:30:24,675 --> 00:30:26,170
I have no idea.
574
00:30:28,512 --> 00:30:31,300
Your boss called your mother today.
575
00:30:32,349 --> 00:30:35,185
- Is that why she came to see me?
- Yeah.
576
00:30:35,352 --> 00:30:37,844
Sharon didn't want to make it
official business at work.
577
00:30:38,021 --> 00:30:41,308
So she thought the best thing to do
would be to have a casual conversation
578
00:30:41,483 --> 00:30:44,770
with your mother, and for your mother
to have a casual conversation with you.
579
00:30:44,945 --> 00:30:49,323
Why can't official business just
remain official, i.e. my business?
580
00:30:49,491 --> 00:30:52,160
If Sharon talks to you about it,
then she has to make a note of it
581
00:30:52,327 --> 00:30:54,451
on your work record,
and she didn't wanna do that.
582
00:30:54,621 --> 00:30:56,781
But she's concerned
that you're working too hard.
583
00:30:56,957 --> 00:30:58,618
Some of the other orderlies
584
00:30:58,792 --> 00:31:02,375
think that maybe
you're losing your temper a lot,
585
00:31:02,545 --> 00:31:03,826
snapping at people.
586
00:31:04,005 --> 00:31:07,790
I haven't snapped at anyone.
I don't understand this.
587
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:12,511
I am working hard,
but I love it and I'm good at it.
588
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,551
I'm so good at it that I have
another orderly following me around
589
00:31:15,725 --> 00:31:17,683
practically worshiping me.
590
00:31:19,061 --> 00:31:21,388
- Worshiping?
- Yeah.
591
00:31:25,526 --> 00:31:29,395
No, no. Not-- Not that you in particular
aren't worshipable.
592
00:31:30,448 --> 00:31:35,691
It's just that everyone has their faults,
and so no one is really worshipable.

to see you in her office tomorrow.

an interesting day for all of us.

about this, but I'm afraid I have to.

yesterday.

Wait, my mom asked John Hamilton,
my roommate, to give me 10 bucks.

00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:52,417
Maybe not today.
Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe never.
669
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:55,075
Unless you get some idea
of how wrong this was.
670
00:35:55,252 --> 00:35:58,539
But I couldn't help it. I had to do it.
I was pressured into it.
671
00:35:58,714 --> 00:36:01,171
You saw the way Mrs. Beasley
looked at me.
672
00:36:01,342 --> 00:36:04,297
No, I just saw the way you
threw up your hand and volunteered.
673
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:05,585
- But--
- But forget it.
674
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:10,141
I don't think you're a bad girl.
I just think you did a bad thing to me.
675
00:36:10,309 --> 00:36:12,978
And if you decide
you wanna apologise, let me know.
676
00:36:13,145 --> 00:36:17,559
I'll be waiting for you in the library
so Mrs. Beasley can hear too.
677
00:36:24,531 --> 00:36:25,943
So, what do you think?
678
00:36:27,993 --> 00:36:32,158
- Do you wanna see the pictures?
- Sure.
679
00:36:48,305 --> 00:36:50,797
SAM: Honest, I wasn't trying to do
some big exposé.
680
00:36:50,975 --> 00:36:53,893
But your family is something else.
681
00:36:54,061 --> 00:36:56,683
You're not gonna want me
to print any of this. Are you?
682
00:36:56,855 --> 00:36:58,481
I would prefer not.
683
00:36:58,649 --> 00:37:00,524
Is this your first experience
with the media?
684
00:37:00,693 --> 00:37:03,695
No, no, we had a camera crew
in the church a couple of years ago,
685
00:37:03,862 --> 00:37:05,903
but before
I could even start my sermon,
686
00:37:06,073 --> 00:37:07,983
Ruthie stuck a Tic Tac up her nose.
687
00:37:08,158 --> 00:37:10,733
I had to rush out
and take her to the emergency room.
688
00:37:11,412 --> 00:37:14,414
Take my advice.
You're not ready to go public.
689
00:37:16,166 --> 00:37:18,077
Thank you very much for your time.
690
00:37:18,252 --> 00:37:20,245
I hope you'll still join us
for church on Sunday.
691
00:37:20,421 --> 00:37:21,453
- I'll be there.
- Thanks.
692
00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:23,209
Thanks. Okay.
693
00:37:23,382 --> 00:37:26,384
Thanks. Bye.
694
00:37:30,889 --> 00:37:33,132

00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:13,762
[MOUTHING]
I'm sorry.
697
00:38:18,103 --> 00:38:19,977
WOMAN:
This is outrageous.
698
00:38:21,564 --> 00:38:26,441
I'm sorry, I told them not to print it,
and they printed it anyway.
699
00:38:29,572 --> 00:38:31,151
Honest, I did.
700
00:39:16,202 --> 00:39:17,781
Anyone here get the morning paper?
701

[LAUGHING]
702
00:39:25,086 --> 00:39:29,879
I-- I think most of you
know me and my family
703
00:39:30,049 --> 00:39:33,918
well enough to know
that what you see in print there,
704
00:39:34,095 --> 00:39:35,590
well,
705
00:39:37,682 --> 00:39:39,676
that's the truth.
706
00:39:41,477 --> 00:39:43,804
We're not the perfect family.
707
00:39:43,980 --> 00:39:48,192
I mean, we are far from being
the perfect family.
708
00:39:49,152 --> 00:39:52,688
But being the imperfect family
that we are
709
00:39:52,864 --> 00:39:55,985
gives us the opportunity
to practise unconditional love.
710
00:39:58,369 --> 00:40:03,708
Because how easy it would be
just to love perfection.
711
00:40:03,875 --> 00:40:06,414
But to love imperfection,
712
00:40:06,586 --> 00:40:08,745
that's the challenge.
713
00:40:09,130 --> 00:40:11,622
And the reward is
714
00:40:11,799 --> 00:40:15,300
that we learn to love
and accept ourselves.
715
00:40:16,262 --> 00:40:19,881
And the many other
imperfect people
716
00:40:20,058 --> 00:40:23,593
who we come across day to day.
717
00:40:24,020 --> 00:40:26,429
Other than that, I have to say
718
00:40:26,856 --> 00:40:29,525
that I've virtually
been rendered speechless.
719
00:40:29,692 --> 00:40:31,935
Which is fortunate for all of you,
because we have
720
00:40:32,111 --> 00:40:36,442
a very special choir member
who is visiting with us today.
721
00:40:36,616 --> 00:40:41,078
And as she sings
my favourite hymn,
722
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,453
I'm gonna take my imperfect self
down there
723
00:40:44,624 --> 00:40:47,541
and hug my imperfect family.
724
00:40:47,709 --> 00:40:54,424
And I hope all of you will take this time
to hug your wife and children
725
00:40:54,591 --> 00:41:00,262
and anyone else with whom you share
life's difficult challenges.
726
00:41:01,181 --> 00:41:03,009
Wow, that was the best sermon
I've ever heard.
727
00:41:03,183 --> 00:41:06,138
- Yeah.
- And the shortest.
728
00:41:06,311 --> 00:41:09,147
And now,
on behalf of everyone in Glenoak,
729
00:41:09,314 --> 00:41:13,265
I welcome Sandi Patty.
