Hey, honey, I'm home.

Hi, stepmom.

Hi, dad.

Really just been in the same spot all day?

Yeah, what of it?

You haven't even gotten dressed. We both worked full days. You're in the exact

same spot you were this morning.

How are you going to get ahead of the mic?

What is your deal?

You're always yelling. Like, can't you just motivate me? I don't want you to be

a failure.

Yeah, but you can take a lighter approach. Like, Jesus.

Don't be like that.

I mean, he's a baby boy.

And he's just taking a sabbatical before he leaves for college.

Baby boy?

Yeah. He pays and pays taxes, or at least he's supposed to.

Hey, no need to get rude around here, okay?

Take it easy.

I'm sorry. Do you pay the rent?

Or the mortgage?

No, you don't. I do. I make the rules. You don't.

You're being a little harsh.

Tell him to take it easy.

Really, honey, take it easy on him.

He's a good boy.

Are you seriously going to let him manipulate you like this?

He's not doing anything wrong.

He's just taking a break before he goes to college. Let him relax a little.

Right, Mommy?

That's what I was saying. Really, just cut him a break.

He's getting ready to go to college.

He needs some time to relax before things get busy for him.

Wasn't so goddamn funny.

I'm scrolling, okay? You're always being so rude and harsh. Think of Chill Pill.

Do you think that life is a joke? It is not.

Really? Calm down, honey.

I'm going to have a heart attack.

This boy's going to give me a heart attack. You need to settle down. I'm

trying to, but my wife won't even take my side. Why are you siding with him?

This isn't funny.

It's hilarious. Why are you so worked up?

I don't want my son.

To disappoint me again and again.

Connor?

What?

This is not a laughing matter.

It's kind of hard to take you seriously. All you do is yell.

God, I'd rather be scrolling on my phone. But what do you do? At least I do

something.

Can you tell him to stop being so harsh? Please stop being so harsh.

Bring the level down a little. Thank you.

What do you want me to say? Take my side for once. You're always on his team.

That's my baby boy.

He came out of my balls. Why are you claiming ownership?

Honey, we are just trying to be a happy family here. Can you please calm down?

Is that what you're doing? Because it seems like you're trying to fucking

humiliate me. No way.

That's not what I'm trying to do.

Stop, stop, stop.

Look at this.

The president is making free use mandatory.

What? Dude,

that's awesome. This isn't real.

Yeah, it's so real. Look at it.

Look.

You don't... Free use.

You want to explain to her what free use is?

I can just literally do what I want.

No. Yeah.

They made it legal. It's my house and my rules. You can't do whatever you want.

No, I absolutely can't. Even the president said so. Look at it. I wasn't

lying. It's right there. What does that even mean?

It means you can literally just grab them by the pussy.

No, the hell. You cannot.

Look.

I don't get this made up.

Okay. Okay. I mean...

If that's what the government said, that's what we have to do.

You're falling for that? Exactly.

And no, the president said so. The president said so? Oh, my God, no. He

makes the rules.

No, I'm going to find proof that that is bullshit.

System of checks and balances, my friend. It is now law.

I'm going to follow the law.

Since when?

Since apparently today. So if it goes into effect today, I think I'm pretty

fired. So I am just going to...

Do what I'm supposed to do.

I am going to disprove this entire thing, and you both will owe me a

massive apology.

Oh, well, good luck with that. You let me know when it's time to... Just settle

down.

Everything's going to be fine.

Look, he's going to college soon. You know, we really just need to focus on

spending as much time with him as we can before he leaves. I don't even think

he's got the grades to go.

He's been fucking around too much.

He was accepted, so he's going.

When they find out about this, they're not going to accept it. They're going to

rescind it. But it's the law now, so isn't everyone going to be doing it?

I really don't think it's the law, honey.

I think he's pranking us again.

Just check the news, Dad.

That's what I'm trying to do, son.

You're not going to find any milk in there, by the way.

Really, just settle down.

Sorry you ate all my...

It's going to be okay, honey. Just calm down. What is my email password?

It's your birthday, right?

It's my birthday, yes. And what is your birthday?

August 19th.

I knew that.

What are you looking for?

I was going to check for my heart medication.

You don't have any here?

No. I'm running out.

Somebody told it.

Oh.

Well, I guess he thought you didn't need it anymore.

Yeah, well, I think he's trying to kill me.

You're being dramatic.

Am I? Yeah.

Look at what he's doing right now. You think I'm being dramatic?

He's out of control.

I mean, he's just doing what the law said.

You saw it with your own eyes.

Yeah, Dad, you act like... I just made a whole fake news story in a fake news

article. There was a whole video and all. So I'm lying. Okay.

You think I haven't heard of artificial intelligence?

I'm not dumb, son.

Well, apparently you think I am. And you think I have the savvy to pull that off?

You guys. You ever heard of an idiot savant?

You need to chill out. You're getting your heart rate up too high.

And you don't have your medication.

I know that.

Just take some deep breath.

I'm trying.

But it smells like a betrayal in here.

Why do you always have to challenge him on everything?

Why do you take his side every time?

My baby.

I love him.

I thought I was your boo.

You are.

And why does baby beat boo every time?

What is this? Rock, paper, scissors?

This is a family, all right? We are.

There should be more equality.

There shouldn't be this de facto every time he wins.

I think you're just jealous.

You know? Why would I be jealous? I think that's what it is. What are you

jealous of?

I just, you know, we've created such a great bond together, and I think it

makes you uncomfortable.

It does make me uncomfortable.

Yeah, because you're always against me.

I'm not against you. I think you're just making that up.

You're gaslighting me.

Oh, stop it.

You're just like the internet, all right? Everything on here is bullshit.

Really? Yeah, really.

You need to stop.

You are out of control. Oh, am I? Yeah. Okay.

Interesting. Enough.

Interesting. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm finding a lot of nonsense here and

here. So I'm going to go look at the TV and see if I can find some newscasters

who are speaking truth to power.

Do it.

I'm going to follow you. Yeah. Let's see what we find. Come on, let's go. As a

family.

I

mean,

are you finding anything?

It's all commercials.

You're really stressing out over nothing.

I think this is a little more than nothing, sweetie.

If you say so.

I feel like if this was real, it would be on every channel. It wouldn't even

be... Every other news station. I'm trying.

Yeah, check that.

I'm going to be busy following the law, so...

Did we not pay the cable bill?

Of course I paid the cable bill, honey.

None of these channels are coming in.

Oh, I don't know what to tell you.

I thought you had the cable guy here like last week. You told me he was here

for hours.

He was.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

I thought everything was great.

Well, it sucks now.

This blows.

I don't know what to tell you, Amy.

I can't wait to see what other laws they bring into effect.

Probably going to make America great again.

You're making me want to run for office. Oh, God.

I think you'd have a heart attack if you did that.

Probably, because I couldn't even count on my own wife to vote for me.

Oh, please.

It's so dramatic.

I'm just trying to follow the law right now.

It seems to me like you're putting on a show.

Well, if you don't like it, you don't have to be here.

This is my house. I'm not going to be run out of my own house.

He's the one we need to get out of this fucking house.

Listen, he's not going anywhere.

This is our baby boy.

Alright, thank you, Mommy.

Do you have the password for this?

Yes. Turn off the parental controls.

It's off.

No wonder why I couldn't get Cinemax in all the stations that I wanted.

You had a problem.

You're so rude.

You ran up the bill so high, your mother had to bring the cable guy over to

personally request that he hook us up with a discount.

Yeah, well, she was good to the cable man the way she's good to me now. She

should be happy that the bill got lowered. I don't think that's what

happened. That's the respect for her and for our marriage.

Well, I do, and I think that's why we're having such a good time right now.

You're the one who's being a Debbie Downer. Sorry.

Can you two just stop fighting already?

Enough.

We're just trying to be a happy family.

Let's all get along.

Can you please face this handle? I hate this movie.

How's that?

I don't like seeing the weather forecast.

What is that?

They're seriously not covering this anywhere. I don't think it's real.

Well, I'm telling you, Dad, you're not looking hard enough.

Plenty of little games, Connor.

Do you have anything nice to say at all?

I mean, maybe you shouldn't have voted for him.

He's doing exactly what he said he was going to do.

I don't recall this being part of Project 2025.

Well, maybe you should have read the fine print.

Oh, I did.

You're just going to have to make the best of it.

I'm just going to have to get an Adam Sandler remote so that I can stop this

from happening.

I mean, I guess you'll think twice about who you vote for.

Yeah, maybe I'll think twice about who I marry next time as well.

Wow. See, he's even being rude to you now.

You're really gonna go there?

You think you're not hurting my feelings right now?

I mean, when's the last time you put your dick in me?

Why would I?

Because it's the law!

believe you still think this is real. There's not a single station covering

this right now.

You don't think this would be on every screen?

Not looking hard enough.

See? You just gotta use it. You gotta just do what the president says.

He makes a lot of laws and he can't cover every single one. It takes time.

Just be patient. It's gonna come out.

And you'll see that it's the truth.

Do you want this to be the law?

I mean, you don't give it to me.

So, yeah.

What else am I supposed to do?

I thought I'd been through the worst of it.

I mean, that's really mean to say about your child.

And you wonder why he has an attitude?

When you talk about him like that, that's why him and I are so close.

Because I love and appreciate him.

And I understand him.

You're such a good mommy who was defending me. Yes, baby.

I'm a rude father.

Yes, baby.

You really need to think about how you treat people.

Especially our kids.

Don't start with the therapy stuff again.

I don't want to hear it.

You never want to hear it.

How do you think we got here?

Come on, let me use that mouth again.

Use that mouth again. He's just running his, to be honest.

I will not be disrespected like this. You are out by the end of the day.

I don't think I'm going anywhere.

It doesn't look like you wear the pants in the relationship.

Right?

Here, mommy, am I going anywhere?

He's not going anywhere.

Yeah, exactly.

Unified front.

Unified front, for one.

Please. She's busy right now, okay?

Maybe you should be focused on trying to find the new station.

I've been trying.

I'm up in the 800s right now.

All right, well, you're the one who can pay for all the extra seats and keep

scrolling.

You keep scrolling, okay?

You don't tell me what to do. I'm scrolling because I want to scroll, not

because you said so.

Okay, well, she's busy.

Why don't you try being busy for once in your life, you slacker?

I am.

I'm making my president.

I'm making my president proud, okay? He told me to use it, and I'm going to use

it.

I'm going to lose it.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Keep him busy.

Oh, yes.

Honey,

can you... I'm not getting the right angle.

You're just being... Give it to me.

You're just being lazy. You're going to make her do everything? I mean... Look,

I said I don't wear the pants, right?

Oh, my God.

Take some responsibility for something.

Be a man already.

Look at your son.

At least he knows what to do with a woman.

There. There's your channel.

I do like fishing.

You realize he's using you, right?

No, he's not.

Well, not in that way. I'm just doing what my president told me to do.

Following the rule.

Following the law.

I would never hurt my mommy.

I'm just following the law.

You're doing so good, baby.

Yeah, just like that.

good.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Even fishing can't calm me down right now.

Fucking worst day of my life.

Can you just stop complaining? Why don't you just go sit on that couch? I'm going

to use her and she needs the room. Yeah, sit over there.

Thanks, Mommy.

I paid for this couch.

Yes. You

just

focus on finding that station.

Do not tell me what to do.

Why are you so angry?

Imagine if your mother and I were doing what you and them are doing right now.

Well, I just want her to be happy.

Now, if that's the case... Call her.

She'd love to hear from you. You're her favorite.

You know, you have nothing but bad things to say about me all the time. But

when I'm breaking the law, or not filing the law, you always have something to

say. And now I'm doing exactly what I'm told.

President orders.

Can you make up your mind whether I'm a degenerate or not?

Jeez. He makes a good point. Send me straight to Boyd's now.

Because she probably doesn't want to deal with you either.

I mean, he makes a good point.

He's not breaking the law.

He's home with his family.

Yeah.

He could be doing a lot worse things.

Yeah. Let me tell you.

It's my job to build up my son's confidence.

And this is exactly what I'm doing.

I'm making him into the man he needs to be.

He's going to make a fine husband one day. See, I'm not bad with the ladies.

I'm learning to follow the law. What else do you want?

I'll work on getting the job, okay? Do the job.

Okay. Move out?

One step at a time, okay? I'm a little busy.

Okay?

And this is the last of it. I promise you that. Right, Mommy?

Yes, baby.

Exactly.

Because I ain't through with her yet.

The President said I can use, I'm going to use. And that doesn't mean just now.

He and I have been fractured for years.

I thought we had a good thing going.

We do, honey.

But I think you really need to get out of this negative

process. You're so negative about everything and it brings us all down.

Therapy, therapy, therapy.

Here we go again.

Well, it was working for a time.

And then you decided you didn't need it, and we went right back to the way things

were.

It takes work, honey.

Lots of work.

That's what relationships are about. All I do is work.

I'm not talking about just going to work.

I'm talking about working on relationships.

With your son, with me, with both of us as a family.

I'm trying, I don't understand. I tell him exactly what to do, and he doesn't

listen. What more could he want from me?

Maybe it's the way you speak to him.

Have you thought about that? That can't be it.

There's no way that's it. I think she knows more than you.

You're rude and condescending to him all the time. Did you just hear his tone of

voice?

You get what you give.

He's not wrong.

Are you Confucius?

Don't say platitude to me.

I would never. I don't even know what that word means.

trying to use big words to confuse him. What happened is bad. I don't like it.

Is that clear?

I hear you loud and clear, champ.

Sorry I'm not a good enough song for you. I'm really just... You're toning

your voice.

Could you show a little compassion? Yeah, no problem.

Mommy, lay down.

You stop yapping for a second.

Would you guys like me to stop?

expressing that I don't really like what's happening.

I can do that for you if you want.

You know, I don't know what the big deal is.

I don't like paying taxes, but I do it anyway because it's the law.

Maybe I am overreacting.

That's the spirit.

You know?

You're right. I mean, there are things in life that we have no control over. No

control over. We just have to kind of blindly accept them. Yeah.

This might be one of those.

Yeah.

This might be one of those.

Just take a deep breath. It's going to be okay.

a new normal to get used to.

Yes, baby.

Yes, baby.

Yeah, that feels good.

Yeah, you want me to take it all off?

Yeah. I think I owe you both an apology.

Well, thank you, honey.

I really appreciate that. I know that you have been struggling with this

and I just wanted to be happy. Me too.

You know, we have such a beautiful family, and I don't want anything to

come in between us.

I don't either.

Okay.

Connor,

I still think you should probably, like, get a job and a place to stay, but I do

take that call to leave.

Well, there you go. You're making progress, and so am I. So maybe this is

a good day for our family. You know what I mean?

I don't know that I'd go that far, but...

Well, I know I'm happy for my president.

That's all I've got to say.

It's a start.

It's a start.

So what are you going to do now?

I guess I'll try to research and understand the law a little bit better

just so I can... What about your friend George?

Oh, the city councilman? Yeah, why don't you give him a call?

Oh my God.

I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner.

That's a good idea.

He's a congressman. Yeah.

He'll know how to. He'll know. Yeah, he's a city councilman. He'll be able to

break down the law for me.

Oh, yes.

Oh, so good, baby.

Yeah. Yeah.

George.

Yes.

Georgie, Georgie.

George and me.

You're gonna come?

What's the deal with that previous law that makes it mandatory?

What?

I knew it.

Thank you, George. I owe you dinner.

It's fucking fake news and I knew it.

It's not a real law. He made it up.

What?

fucking out of here.

It is 2025.

AI's getting pretty good.

Oopsie.

Thanks for letting me use you then, Mommy.

It's so hard to tell what's real and what's not these days.

Dad, it was just an honest mistake.

What's for dinner?

I'll order pizza.

Even though it's not a new law, I wouldn't mind if we do it again.

Me neither.

I'll use you anytime.

Good boy.
