Burning Palms Page #2

find this situation a little weird.

Weird?

Yeah, weird.

You know, the touching each other

constantly and the sex talk.

Do you realize that

when we're out together

people think the two

of you are together?

- Well, that's ridiculous.

- Well, it's true.

Well, I'm not everybody,

and how dare you judge

my relationship with my daughter.

How dare you!

And I like the fact

that we're close.

I mean,

is that a crime?

Heavens no.

No, I'm just an uptight prude,

Dennis. It's totally normal.

You know what, I can't talk to you right now.

You're just jealous.

You are.

You can't stand the fact that

there's another woman in this house

and you aren't the center

of my attention 2417!

Oh, don't flatter

yourself, a**hole.

Listen to me, because I am

not going to repeat this.

If we're gonna get married,

you'd better accept the fact

that Chloe is an important

part of my life

a very important part of my life

and I will

not choose sides!

I'm gonna go out

for a little while.

See you later.

Happy?

That girl has done

nothing to you-

Nothing.

Hey. Hey, I have something

to say to both of you.

Um...

I'm not-

God, I don't know how to

put this right, but-

I guess I can start

by saying I'm sorry.

I've been horrible.

it's just-

I feel so left out

of things, you know?

And I'm- I mean,

it's not your fault

and you're right, Dennis,

I've been jealous.

And it's totally wrong

and immature of me

but I've...

Chloe, I- I'm sorry,

I just really-

I've been really

scared that-

I've been really scared

that you hate me.

Oh, God.

No, I'm-

...all right.

Oh.

Oh, God, can you

say basket case?

Sh*t, I

totally forgot.

Hello.

Hi.

What up?

I'm going to go show Lukas

my stamp collection.

You kids be good.

Oh, God!

Do it!

Here.

Oh, Lukas is

deejaying tonight.

He said he could

get us on the list.

That guy's

a deejay, too?

My God,

he gets around.

So you'll come, right?

I don't know.

No, we were gonna see that new

Julia Roberts movie tonight.

A movie?

I'm leaving in three days.

Come on.

I might need some

adult supervision.

We'll see.

Could be fun.

Here. You do this.

You're smarter than me.

Oh, my God.

Jesus Christ, you scared me.

Can I borrow

your lipstick?

Yeah. Sure. Top drawer.

Wow.

You really

like bright colors.

Oh, most of

those are old.

I'm not really into

makeup these days.

I think the natural

look is better.

Yeah.

Well, thanks anyway.

No worries.

What are you

gonna wear tonight?

I don't know.

You should

wear tight jeans.

You have nice legs.

And you should

wear your hair up.

He likes that.

Okay.

Huh.

Thanks.

Anytime, Dedra.

Anytime.

What a tool.

Who? The surfer

waiter DJ?

Why is it that guys think that

just because you f*** them

that means you're like in

love with them or something?

Lots of girls

are like that.

Not me. Girls are

f***ing stupid.

I'm 15 years old.

I'm not ready for a boyfriend yet.

Oh, my God,

I love this song!

We're dancing.

No, thanks.

No, I'm just- I'm not much

of a dancer.

Come on. You guys are so boring.

Come on, Dad.

Oh, go on, you two, go on.

I'll- I'll be fine.

I'll wait here.

You sure?

Yeah.

All right, I'll

be right back.

Everyone sits down,

I stand up

They might walk,

but I'm gonna strut

They fit in,

I stand out

Even if l have to shout

I know, I know,

I'm not the same

You say yes, and I say

Don't care

What they say

I do things differently

With all the clichs

I do things differently

l guess they don't get me

I do things differently

I do, I do, I do,

I do, I do!

With the song I'm gonna

wreck it literally

I'm gonna stand

In the picture

Perfect shadow

Of someone

l don't wanna be

I'm not sorry at all

But that's just

Me, me, me, me

You keep it

Neat and tidy

How's it going?

Fine. Thanks.

Can I buy

you a drink?

I know, I know

I'm not the same

You say yes

And I say

No, no, no

Don't care what they say

I do things differently

Yeah.

With all the clichs

Sure.

I do things differently J7

What the hell

do you think you're doing?

What does it look like I'm doing, Dennis?

I'm dancing.

Who's this?

I'm her fianc.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, it's okay.

it's okay.

We were just having

a little fun, right?

Go on, Dennis.

Go back to your precious little girl.

You're a real f***ing

piece of work.

You know that, D?

It's okay.

Come on.

I'm about to come.

Oh, Sh*t!

I don't feel well.

I don't-

I'm starving, babe.

I know. I'm sorry.

I just can't decide between

the grilled salmon

or the veggie-wrap.

Get the salmon.

It's brain food.

Okay.

Ready?

I'm ready to

eat this whole table.

I'll have the chimichangas

with extra guac on the side

and I'll pay extra.

I don't care.

Nah, I'll throw it in there.

Just don't tell anybody.

Great, thanks.

And you, hon?

I'll have

a salmon.

And can I have the

grilled vegetables

instead of the

mashed potatoes?

I don't see

why not. Okay.

Thank you

very, very much.

I like her.

Mm-hm.

I think she's new.

Her breasts

are so big.

Are they?

I feel bad for her.

She's gonna have lots

of lower back problems

when she's older.

Yes, Dr. Chen.

It's true.

Hey, babe,

what's up?

Nothing.

I don't know.

Do you like-

I mean, do you find girls with

large breasts attractive?

Well, I guess.

It depends.

On what?

On the girl, right?

But Cheryl had

big breasts, right?

Yeah, they were

a couple of handfuls.

Hey, babe,

I like your body.

They're not very big.

I don't care.

You have a really nice chest.

Sometimes I think about

getting a boob job

but it's just

so superficial.

Well, I guess some

guys like them.

Otherwise, why would

women bother, right?

I don't think it's

just about men.

Some girls just want larger

breasts for themselves.

Not everything a girl does

is just to impress a man.

Okay, babe.

Don't bite my head off about it.

Sorry.

That's okay.

I like when you get

all feminist and sh*t.

Oh, baby, does

that feel good?

Uh-huh!

Excuse me?

Really?

Yeah.

Did you do it?

No way.

Ew, Tammy Lynn.

Well, lots of guys like

that sort of thing.

Get out.

No, really.

Have you ever...?

Sure.

Seriously?

Uh-huh.

It just seems so-

dirty.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I was just in the hall.

I ran to get the phone.

Oh, okay.

L- l was just

calling to see

if you were still gonna come

over tonight after work.

Well, you know, I'm just

gonna chill at home tonight.

Jackson 's coming over.

We Te gonna drink some beers,

play some Xbox.

Is that cool?

Oh, um...

Yeah, of course

that's fine.

Tell him I said hi.

Okay. I'll talk

to you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

You've been

kind of quiet.

I am?

I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just a little tired.

We'll make it

a chill night.

We'll rent one of your chick

flicks and cuddle on the couch.

Let's go

to a bar.

Really?

You want to

go to a bar.

I go to bars sometimes.

Not with me,

you haven't.

Wen, maybe

you don't know me as
