You know, another reliable

way to check the weather is to

look outside the door.

Look outside the door.

You could even open it.

Oh, no, I was just checking

out that weather girl.

Out that weather girl.

She has two storm fronts

in that sweater.

Right, dad?

Right, dad?

Come on, Keenan, you know

better than that.

Now, there's nothing wrong with

admiring an attractive woman,

but it is something wrong when

you start to objectify them.

You start to objectify them.

We have a mother

and two sisters.

You wouldn't want anybody

objectifying them,

now, would you?

You're right.

All: Good morning.

Hey.

Hey.

Daddy, look.

Me, mommy, and kaci all have

the same hairstyle.

That's beautiful, pumpkin.

And I can't tell who's

and I can't tell who's

the prettiest.

[Laughs]

I am.

Nuh-uh, I am.

Nuh-uh, I am.

Uh, no, I am.

Well, maybe not, but I will be

after I get my coffee.

After I get my coffee.

Ah, well, coffee or not,

I still think you're

Neck and neck and neck.

Chicks.

What?

What?

They're objectifying themselves.

Go get your backpack.

And now we move on to your

Science!

Daddy...

Hmm?

You know my favorite subject

Is science.

Alexis, as an English

Someday, I'm going to cure

Oh, well, that's a good

I have a degree

in communications.

I should have been the next

Oprah or something.

But, no, I settled for the first

job that fell in my lap.

Job that fell in my lap.

I'm a coward.

No.

My cousin wasn't too afraid

to pursue her dreams.

To pursue her dreams.

She went off to Hollywood to

become an actress.

She's been a corpse on at least

three crime dramas.

Huh.

Huh.

Sit down.

Listen, jentry, while we all

aspire to metaphorically become

aspire to metaphorically become

a corpse, you can't beat

yourself up if you don't achieve

yourself up if you don't achieve

your goal.

But I do, all the time.

Where is all of this

self-loathing coming from?

Self-loathing coming from?

I mean, you told me that in your

childhood, whoever you met would

tell you that you could be

whoever you wanted to be if you

whoever you wanted to be if you

just put your mind to it.

So what happened?

My mom happened.

Mm.

When I told her what people

When I told her what people

would tell me, she'd say,

"you really think you can do

anything you put your mind to?

Just jump out the window and put

just jump out the window and put

your mind to flying

and see what happens."

Wow, that is a terrible thing

to say to a child.

To say to a child.

Yeah, no kidding.

It's like, what's the point

of ever doing anything?

Whatever's gonna happen

is gonna happen.

Is gonna happen.

I don't understand where all

this negativity is coming from.

I mean, you were so optimistic

when you told me about that guy

when you told me about that guy

you were dating a few weeks ago.

Yes, I didn't tell you what

she said about him.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

"Don't give your heart to

him, 'cause he's just gonna

break it."

I haven't had my heart broken

yet.

And you haven't had a

meaningful relationship either.

Your mom has a lot of opinions,

huh?

Dr. Reed, you don't know

the half of it.

Is there something there

that you want to talk about?

That you want to talk about?

Not much to talk about.

She's a know-it-all control

freak, who has to have things

her way.

Huh.

She's sort of like the

She's sort of like the

John wilkes booth of dreams.

Just tell her your hopes,

and she'll shoot 'em down.

[Laughs]

Have you ever tried to talk

have you ever tried to talk

to her?

Sure.

Then she'll just take a sip

of her mad dog 20/20 and tell

me I'm being a crybaby.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Your mother drinks mad dog?

Okay, hasn't that been banned

for years?

I know.

Mom and I went looking for

mom and I went looking for

cases of the stuff before they

took it off the shelves.

We actually had fun that week.

We actually had fun that week.

So you guys had some

good bonding time?

Yeah.

You know, I have an idea.

You know, I have an idea.

How would you feel about

inviting your mom here to talk

about what's going on with you?

My mom is not the therapy

My mom is not the therapy

kind of person.

And when I told her I was

seeing you, she fussed at me

for airing my dirty laundry

for airing my dirty laundry

to a "total stranger."

Yeah, but maybe if she knew

how important it was to you,

she'd be open to it.

Okay, I'll ask her.

Okay, I'll ask her.

Okay.

[Chuckles]

I'm gonna work you two

into the schedule.

Into the schedule.

I think you'll get a kick

out of her.

Or you'll just kick her like

I want to sometimes.

[Laughs]

I will be sure to wear open-toe

I will be sure to wear open-toe

shoes for our appointment.

[Laughs]

See, thank you.

Look at that, huh.

Look at that, huh.

You're lightening up

a little bit.

Oh, no, I was just thinking

about kicking her.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

Oh, you guys, why does it keep

going faster?

'Cause we're rocking out.

'Cause we're rocking out.

My fingers hurt.

Yeah, we're almost done.

Just keep playing.

Hey, Carla, can I see you

for a minute?

For a minute?

Yeah, honey.

Oh, oh, oh, drum solo.

Uh, uh.

Ooh, ah.

[Screams]

[Screams]

Uh, oh.

But I did it.

But I did it.

I guess I'm free now.

I'm sorry.

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

What's going on?

Want to show you something.

[Funky music]

[Funky music]

[Laughs]

Wo--wow.

Baby, we can't do that.

Baby, we can't do that.

Come on, the kids are in

the other room, and, frankly,

I'm surprised she could

I'm surprised she could

even do that.

[Laughs]

Oh, wait.

I'm not saying I can't learn

that.

I can learn that.

I can learn that.

Baby, I know you can.

Okay.

But Keenan has been using

this computer to look

at this stuff.

This?

This?

Yes.

Wait, but how?

I thought we put a filter on

this computer.

Yeah, we did, but obviously

he found a way to disable it.

He found a way to disable it.

Are you sure he's been

looking at this?

Who else would be looking

Who else would be looking

at it?

[Laughs]

Oh, you're right.

Yeah.

Now, check out the time stamps.

Now, check out the time stamps.

5:00 A.M., 4:15 A.M., 3:00.

He's been waking up while we're

he's been waking up while we're

sleeping and coming down here

and looking at this?

Exactly.

Oh, my god.

Whoa--okay, that is a lot

whoa--okay, that is a lot

of pornography.

Okay, we need to talk to him.

This is out of hand.

Carla, let's figure this out

first.

Figure what out?

Figure what out?

Do you know how influential porn

is on a developing mind?

This can lead a child down

a very dark road, Alex.

A very dark road, Alex.

This is a slippery slope.

Baby, I know that.

But why?

Why now?

Why now?

And what does this amount

of porn mean?

Why?

Because he's a boy.

Why now?

Because he's a 14-year-old boy.

And what does it mean?

It means he's a normal

14-year-old boy.

14-year-old boy.

There is nothing normal about

this amount of porn.

We need to talk to him.

Okay, but let me talk to him,

Okay, but let me talk to him,

okay?

This is the kind of thing no boy

wants to talk to anybody about,

especially his mother.

But, Alex, i--

But, Alex, i--

okay, can you turn that off?

'Cause that's really

distracting.

Distracting.

I mean, it's kind of exciting,

but it's distracting too.

[Laughs]

Let me ask you a question.

Yeah.

When you were 14, did you

When you were 14, did you

ever go down to the department

store, see women in bras,

and get turned on?

Mm-mm.

Now, that's the exact reason

Now, that's the exact reason

why I should talk to Keenan.

Mm.

I remember being a kid,

and my friend Bobby had a older

and my friend Bobby had a older

brother, and he would show us

the dirty magazines he had.

He got a kick out of blowing

he got a kick out of blowing

our minds.

Did it?

Hmm?

Did it blow your mind?

[Chuckles] Of course it did.

[Chuckles] Of course it did.

It's the first time I saw

a naked woman.

[Laughs]

And I remember what it did to

me, so I know exactly what

me, so I know exactly what

Keenan's going through.

Fine.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

Fine, fine.

You can talk to him.

But you got to tell me how it

but you got to tell me how it

turns out, okay?

[Scoffs] Of course, that goes

without saying.

Mm, god.

Mm, god.

What?

Do you remember when we had

that talk with the twins about

that talk with the twins about

the birds and the bees?

Mm.

Oh, god.

At the end of it, Keenan said...

At the end of it, Keenan said...

[Chuckles]

[Whiny voice] "Why would I wanna

do that?"

Yeah, I remember.

And now here we are.

Amazing.

Amazing.

Hmm.

You want me to go get him,

so you can talk to him?

No, no, no, not now.

No, no, no, not now.

He has a test in the morning,

so I want him to focus on that.

If we have a talk now, all he'll

be thinking about is

the conversation.

The conversation.

Oh, that's smart.

Don't worry, babe.

I got this.

But, you know, uh--

Alex.

Alex.

What?

I'm just saying.

[Laughs] Alex.

It was worth a shot.

Yeah, it was a good shot.

Yeah, it was a good shot.

Jentry, why don't you tell your

mother how you felt when she

missed your dance recital?

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

I was so devastated that I

completely screwed up.

And everyone made fun of me.

Oh, honey, I wanted

Oh, honey, I wanted

to be there.

I really did.

But that was the day of that

four-car pileup that the police

tried to blame on me.

Tried to blame on me.

Now, fortunately, I agreed to go

out with the officer, so I got

out of going to court.

Out of going to court.

Yes, I remember uncle Colin.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, uncle?

Whenever my mom brought

Whenever my mom brought

a date home, I was to call

him uncle.

Crafty.

I've been telling you for

I've been telling you for

years, if you did a little

something different with your

hair, you might get

some dates too.

My hair is fine the way it

is, mom.

Yes, it is.

Would you talk to her?

Would you talk to her?

I can hear you.

I'm right here.

I'm just trying to help.

Just like the time in the

Just like the time in the

hospital when you woke up after

walking into a plate glass

window and said, "is that your

hair or a porcupine on your

hair or a porcupine on your

head?"

Well, you did have two days

to get your hair done.

I was hoping to regain

I was hoping to regain

consciousness to a prettier

sight.

Valencia.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Do you realize how hurtful

your comments are?

I can't help it.

I'm the kind of person that

I'm the kind of person that

calls things the way they are.

Especially after a few

drinks.

I like to unwind after

a hard day.

A hard day.

Have you ever considered that

you might have a problem with

your drinking?

Your drinking?

Are you suggesting i'm

a alcoholic?

Well, I'm not.

Okay, my father was a alcoholic.

Okay, my father was a alcoholic.

I know the signs.

Do you ever drink alone?

Do you drink to escape your

do you drink to escape your

problems?

Do you ever drink until you

pass out?

[Laughs]

If it's that kind of party.

If it's that kind of party.

Look--look--lookee here.

I may have a active social life,

I may have a active social life,

but I'm nothing like my father.

No, see, I come home when

I go out.

I don't have no d.U.I.S.

I don't have no d.U.I.S.

Whoo-whoo.

And I never laid my hands

on my children.

That's a alcoholic.

That's a alcoholic.

Alcoholism has more than one

face, valencia.

And verbal abuse can be just as

and verbal abuse can be just as

bad as physical abuse.

You may come home, but if you're

drunk, then you're not present

drunk, then you're not present

emotionally.

And the fact that you don't have

any d.U.I.S, I mean, maybe

you're just lucky.

You're just lucky.

Wait, wait, is this

a intervention, 'cause I swear,

jentry--

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not an intervention.

It's not an intervention.

Then what do you want?

I want you to realize that

your behavior is affecting your

your behavior is affecting your

daughter.

Oh, please.

She's just making a mountain

out of a molehill.

Is that true?

Is that true?

Jentry, are you making

a mountain out of a molehill?

I don't know.

Well, is it a molehill

that you live at home

that you live at home

so that you can watch over her

and so that she doesn't drive

if she's had too many drinks?

If she's had too many drinks?

And you paying for this?

And you paying for this?

Mom, I want to live my own

life, and I can't, because i'm

life, and I can't, because i'm

too worried about you.

[Laughs sarcastically]

[Laughs sarcastically]

You just repeating what she

tell you to say.

You know, you ain't never spoke

your own mind.

Your own mind.

That's always been your problem.

[Scoffs]

Wake me up when she done

telling you what to say.

Telling you what to say.

Hey, dad, you wanted

Hey, dad, you wanted

to see me?

Yeah, close the door.

Come sit down, son.

I want to show you something.

Would you happen to know

would you happen to know

anything about this?

[Funky music]

Whoa, those are, uh--those

are naked people.

Where did you get that?

I was hoping you could

tell me.

I wish I could help you.

Keenan, come back here.

Keenan, come back here.

I know you been looking

at this stuff.

Maybe it was kaci.

Maybe it was kaci.

Alexis?

All right, I was looking at it.

Dang, this is embarrassing.

Dang, this is embarrassing.

Why?

You think you're the only person

in the world who looks at porn?

I don't know.

I mean, I wasn't trying to look

I mean, I wasn't trying to look

at it.

I was trying to play an online

game.

But the parental controls were

so strict that it wouldn't

let me on to the site,

so I disabled them.

How did you figure out

the code?

K-k-a: Keenan, kaci, Alexis.

K-k-a: Keenan, kaci, Alexis.

Kind of obvious, dad.

Anyway, I just stumbled across

anyway, I just stumbled across

those adult sites.

Boy, you did more than just

stumble.

You been coming down here all

hours of the night looking at

hours of the night looking at

these sites while we were

sleeping.

Yeah.

Keenan, you know your mother

and I don't want you looking

at this stuff.

At this stuff.

Sorry.

So this should be the last

time I see this stuff on my

computer, right?

Right.

That's not what bothers me

the most, Keenan.

The most, Keenan.

Come sit down.

What worries me is what that

stuff makes you think.

Stuff makes you think.

What those people are doing,

it's not love; It's just sex.

And a lot of times, people get

and a lot of times, people get

the two confused, and it leads

to problems,

problems a kid your age does

not need.

All right, so I won't have

sex until I'm ready.

I'm glad to hear it,

but that's not the point.

See, when I was your age,

a little bit older than you,

I had this really great

girlfriend, and I was gonna

girlfriend, and I was gonna

take her to the prom, right?

But there was another girl who

asked me to go.

And I knew she was gonna fool

around, so I decided to take her

around, so I decided to take her

instead.

So what happened that night?

Well, she was down to fool

Well, she was down to fool

around, all right...

With another guy...

Behind the bleachers...

While I went to get her punch.

While I went to get her punch.

Mm.

So I broke the first

girl's heart and ruined

the possibility of finding out

what true love was.

Like you and mom.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Now, my wish for you is, when

you're ready, you find a loving,

real relationship,

real relationship,

not that stuff you been

looking at.

All right, I get it.

Good.

Good.

Now, if you excuse me, I have

a password to change.

A password to change.

But, out of curiosity...

Mm-hmm.

What is a good age

to have sex?

To have sex?

When you are old enough to

handle the consequences...

Like babies, s.T.D.S, even more

like babies, s.T.D.S, even more

importantly, the emotions that

are connected with sex.

Got it.

Got it.

Good.

Oh, and, uh, by the way,

Oh, and, uh, by the way,

don't make the password mom's

birthday.

Damn.

Damn.

It's not like you have

anything to worry about, 'cause

I got it, dad.

My man.

Ah, but, Keenan, you know,

ah, but, Keenan, you know,

you're still grounded for

sneaking down here and breaking

into my computer.

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Hey.

Hi there, jentry, come on in.

Hi there, jentry, come on in.

Sit down.

Thank you.

So how ya doing?

[Sighs] Everything is

[Sighs] Everything is

awesome.

Mom and I had a long talk after

our last session, and now she's

in rehab.

In rehab.

Oh, that's great.

So how are you doing?

I'm...

[Voice breaks] Happy.

[Voice breaks] Happy.

I'm happy.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

I'm gonna go out on a limb

and guess that that's not true.

And guess that that's not true.

What's wrong with me?

I thought that when my mom got

help, everything would be fine,

but I'm still not happy.

But I'm still not happy.

Why do you think that is?

Isn't that what I'm paying

you for, to help me figure

it out?

Come on, jentry.

Come on, jentry.

This isn't my journey.

It's yours.

But I can help you get there.

But I can help you get there.

Last time you were here,

it sounded like you blamed

your mom for all the negative

things going on in your life.

Because it's true.

Jentry, the reality is that

alcoholism is a family disease,

so it doesn't just affect

so it doesn't just affect

the drinker.

Now you got to learn how to be

happy whether your mom is sober

or not.

And don't get me wrong, okay?

Your mom is responsible for

your mom is responsible for

a lot of what's going on in

your life psychologically, but

now you got to focus on undoing

now you got to focus on undoing

the damage, so that you can

enjoy your life.

But how?

But how?

Well, you want to look

at your life like a--

like a gunfight in the old west.

Like a gunfight in the old west.

You know, like your problems are

the bad guys, and you are not

gonna let your problems control

gonna let your problems control

you, right?

Right.

So come on, and get up

with me.

Come on.

Come on.

Okay, so--

What you gonna do?

What you gonna do?

What do I say?

Well, I don't know,

but you are in control.

You're in control, right?

Right.

Right.

So I want you to use that

attitude going forward.

Now, so you ready?
