Father of Invention Page #6
What are you gonna settle for?
You don't even know who you are.
Come on, let's go.
Drive. Drive.
Bye.
He's an idiot.
I had to shut him down.
Somebody had to stop him.
He's an idiot.
And he's a liar too.
'Cause anybody who looks at him
can tell he's still in love with you.
He thinks you're more beautiful now,
more attractive, more intelligent.
I mean, look at you. You're funny.
You've got this great style about you.
And he's a total idiot for thinking...
you know what? He's probably feeling
like a total fool... the fact that
he used to have you and now...
How was your day, Claire?
Horrible.
I'm so over everyone.
I hate people.
You know what?
Everywhere I go
people go on and on
about the center,
and when push comes to shove,
nobody wants to pony up.
- What's wrong with you?
- I didn't say anything.
- I know.
- What am I supposed to say?
- It's weird. You're acting weird.
- I'm not acting weird. I'm acting...
Tonight I'm having a date
with my friend Jack,
Donna, where are you going?
I'm going to your mom's house.
You're going to my mom's?
Yeah, well, she picked up
my phone calls.
Wait,
did I miss something?
My parents are getting divorced,
but things happen.
Divorced? Since when?
Since my father started cheating
on my mom with her friend.
- My God.
- See you.
Donna, if you're going
to my mom's house,
- we're all going to my mom's house.
- We're all going?
Oh, like you have
something better to do?
I, on the other hand...
I have a date with a woman.
She's a lesbian.
Ugh.
We're gonna have hot lesbo sex
all night long.
# We're as happy as can be #
# Oh oh oh oh #
# Let's have a big parade #
# And we'll make history... #
Would you rather lick
or chew gum from the floor
of the New York City subway?
Gum. You know what?
No matter how disgusting it is,
- it's better than a toilet.
- By the way,
how were the toilets
in prison, Axle?
Not very good,
kind of like your last album.
Okay,
you see some unsightly Porta Potties
in my line of work, okay?
So I would chew that subway floor gum
all day, every day.
How do you call this a game?
Monopoly, Scrabble... those are games.
This... this is disgusting.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- This is my friend Steak.
- Hi.
- What's up?
- Steak, a chicken wing?
Nah, dude, I'm a vegetarian.
Really? How is that
gonna work out
There's other things I like to eat
besides meat.
I have one:
Would you rather spend
happily married
to the love of your life
only to find out that he's been
cheating on you the whole time,
of your deadbeat husband
who finally hits the big time
only to emotionally abandon
you and your daughter?
I'll talk to her.
- Awkward.
- All right.
I thought this was
supposed to be a party.
How could he do this to me?
Donna, I think in the moment
he wasn't doing it to anybody.
for himself.
I don't care.
When you decide to start a family,
you make a commitment to them.
You don't turn your back
on the people who love you.
Fathers are human too.
You know, you put
a piece of cake in front of us,
and that's all we can see.
Family, children... what?
No, we forget everything.
We get tunnel vision.
But you never cheated
on Lorraine.
No, I didn't.
I left her for my job.
I'm just so angry at him.
Yeah, there's a lot of anger
in the air.
Think it does any good?
Phoebe, you know,
are you and my dad friends
or what's... what's the deal?
No. I mean, he helped me get
my guitar back from Eddie...
you know, my game...
and that's it.
Wait, he met Eddie?
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't call it
a formal "Hi, how are you doing?"
But he did crack Eddie
in the nads for me
from behind, like mm!
You know, I think your dad's
pretty great, Claire.
What makes him so great?
He just made me realize
that my father isn't perfect
and I need to accept that.
No, Daddy, don't leave.
I'm afraid of the dark.
Okay, honey. Okay.
I'll stay for just a bit, okay?
How's that?
Shh, it's okay.
You can watch the steam.
Look at that.
We can make animals.
Shh, it's okay.
Does my heart good,
makes me feel young, you know?
I tell you, my mind's sharp.
As a matter of fact, I don't know
if they could really run this place
around here if it weren't for me.
Hello, Sam.
You brought my check, right?
Of course I did.
I had to go into my own pocket
on this thing.
You won't believe
how many watches,
I tore apart
before I figured this sucker out,
not to mention carving
the faceplate.
I cut that son of a b*tch
out of medium-density foam.
Well, you know, I don't have
any more money. $5000 is all I have.
It was my pleasure.
I haven't felt this useful
in years.
There it is.
Now the speaker is in the ear.
The camera is in the nose.
The gaming wheel
goes in the wristband
Oh, Sam, this is awesome.
- And what is that?
- That's a built-in compass.
- Do kids still use compasses?
- They did in my day.
I just thought
we wouldn't need a compass.
That's a good idea.
The kid wanders off...
or something, huh?
You're kidding, right?
No, I'm not kidding.
That's a great idea.
Sam.
I did good, right?
I did good.
Sam, you did great.
How are you holding up, Troy?
I have four titanium rods
in my tibia.
How do you think?
I'm sitting on another
great idea, Troy.
Congratulations.
Yeah, but I can't do it alone
this time.
I need a partner.
I make $32,700 a year.
I drive a Toyota Scion loaded.
You're barking up
the wrong tree, Axle.
I just need you to come with me
to one meeting.
- When?
- Tomorrow morning?
Oh, tomorrow morning?
Thanks for the notice.
Look, I was gonna go
on my own,
but now that the prototype doesn't work,
it makes no sense for me to go...
What's the point of the prototype
if it doesn't work?
Troy, no one is going to
buy a product
from a guy who cuts
people's fingers off.
But Troy Coangelo...
that's a different story.
No can do.
Come on, just help me
on this one, please.
I'm on from 7:
00 to 7:00 tomorrow.What difference does that make?
So Family Mart goes without
an assistant GM for a couple of hours.
What's the worst that can happen?
- A lot.
- Oh, come on.
- A lot can happen.
- Come on.
If you don't let go of this obsession
you have with Family Mart, Troy,
no one is gonna ever
take you seriously.
Hmm.
Haven't you ruined
enough people's lives?
Hey.
Hi.
but I think we can make it work.
That's for me?
Here, try it on.
Let me see.
Yeah, it's a little snug.
Let me fix it.
Is this like the pink coat
or you really want me to...?
I want you to look great.
Okay, let me finish it.
