00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,199
Shirley: Well, there
we were, on our way
556
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,099
with all our troubles behind us.
557
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:42,499
At least, that's what I thought.
558
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,065
Chris, what's this I hear
559
00:23:44,066 --> 00:23:46,432
about you not wanting to
play with the group anymore?
560
00:23:46,433 --> 00:23:48,199
It's sissy stuff.
561
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,532
But you've always
enjoyed playing the drums.
562
00:23:50,533 --> 00:23:52,199
I was just a kid then.
563
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,799
It's because of Debbie, mom.
564
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,899
Well, what's Debbie
got to do with it?
565
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:57,699
Debbie, maybe you'd
better show mom
566
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:59,433
why Chris is so uptight.
567
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,165
Shirley: Yes, the next few
months were going to be hectic,
568
00:24:41,166 --> 00:24:44,432
exasperating, frustrating,
confusing, and hysterical...
569
00:24:44,433 --> 00:24:45,899
And you know something?
570
00:24:45,900 --> 00:24:47,766
I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.
