[Dawn]
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
[excited babbling]
Be quiet, be quiet.
[screaming]
Eww.
Huh? Would you like that?
We can't.
Is that's something
you'd like to do? Why not?
- Sit down, Dawn.
- No!
Girls, why not?
Dad-- Dad--
We have school.
You can miss
a few days of school.
Yeah, Heidi.
- We can?
- Yeah.
Of course we can. Right, Dad?
- Sure. Why not?
- Yes!
What about your job?
Dad--
Huh? Well?
What about homework?
Don't worry about your homework.
Don't worry about our homework.
We can do-- We can help you
with your homework.
Dawn and I can
help you in the car.
Let's do it. Right now.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah!
Of course he's serious.
Yeah. Why not? Let's go.
You got to get some fun
out of life, Heidi.
- Aah!
- You, too, Dawn.
- Let's do it!
- Let's go!
Let's do it! Do you guys
want to do it?
I do!
You party pooper!
Yes or no, Heidi, right now.
This is a one-time-only offer.
- Right now, Heidi.
- Right now!
Do we have an atlas?
Let's do it!
Ahh!
[laughing]

[beep]
Hi. You've reached Grace, Stanley,
Heidi, and Dawn.
We're not home right now,
but if you leave a message,
we'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
[beep]
Hey.
Just wanted to let you know
the girls and I are...okay.
We just decided to take a little trip.
We're having a really good time.
[beep]

[Man on radio]
...could face fines
up to $300 under the new law.
parts of Western Minnesota
through tomorrow evening.
Tonight should be cloudy
with rain showers likely.
Isolated thunders--
Good morning.
Good morning.
Where are we?
I'm not entirely sure.
We should call school
and tell them we're
going to be absent.
Let's think of something
fun to do today.
Can you do that?
What's that?
What's that? What is that?
Supposed to be an answer
to my question?
Huh? Huh? No?
No.
Well, let's try that again.
Come on. Can we think
of something fun
that we want to do today?
No.
No? Why not?
too much now.
So?
So now there's
too much pressure.
Too much pressure?
What are you doing?
You cannot just drive into this field.
Oh, yes, I can.
Dad, what
are you doing?
I'm doing doughnuts.
What's it look like?
We're going to get in trouble.
- No, no, we're not.
- Watch for the birds.
No, the birds fly out of the way.
What the heck are we doing?
Hey! Good morning, Dawn!
Are we on a road?
Nope.
Cool!
Fun, isn't it?
Yeah!
I used to do this all the time
when I was a teenager.
- Why?
- [Dawn squealing]
Why? I don't know.
It's fun, isn't it?
Why would you do this?
I don't know. I guess
I just like peeling out.
[Dawn squeals]
I didn't put a ton of thought
into everything I did
when I was a kid, Heidi.
All right. Let's go.
[Dawn]
Where are we going?
[Stanley]
Ahh!
Whew!
- [Dawn] Dad?
- Yeah.
Are we really going
to Enchanted Gardens?
Of course we are. Why?
I just wanted to make sure.
Okay.
- Dad?
- Yeah.
Can we get a monkey?
No.
What if it's really little?
Like littler than a puppy.
Still no.
Can we get a pony?
No.
An iPod?
No.
- Dad?
- Yes, Dawn.
Can we get our ears pierced?
No. Not till you're 13.
You know the rules.
Dad?
[Heidi]
Be quiet, Dawn.
What? Do I hear something?
- Dawn!
- I don't hear anything--
Dawn!
...at all, no, no.
Be quiet!
Girls, come on.
Straighten up.
I got a surprise for you.
What is it?
We're going to stop
and see Grandma.
I can get in around back.
Just wait here.
[snoring]
My lamp.
[sultan laughs]
So you want to marry
my daughter.
[Aladdin]
I sure do. Boy!
Hey.
Hey, Uncle John.
What are you guys doing here?
Oh, hey, don't--
don't get too close.
I think I have bad breath.
[villain in cartoon]
New lamps for all!
Is your dad here?
Can I help you?
John, what are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Trying to find a way in.
What, the front door
too obvious for you?
Open the door, man.
Hey, bro.
How are you, man?
I'm good, man.
How you doing?
Come on in.
So what have you
been up to, John?
I'm studying to take the GRE.
Good. You going back to school?
That's great. What for?
Law. Or medicine.
I haven't decided yet.
Oh.
That's great.
What's new with you?
Not much.
You all right?
What do you mean, am l--
l-- I'm fine.
You're not upset?
About what?
Uh, I don't know.
I mean, where do I start?
The situation's such a mess.
The situation? What situation?
What situation?
I mean, it sounds like
a f***ing mess over there.
Watch your language.
Sorry. Sorry.
You don't know what
Who does?
The administration?
I mean, they'll tell you
the sun comes out at midnight
president of yours?
He's your president, too.
I didn't vote for him.
You didn't vote at all, did you?
That's-- That's not the point.
Isn't it?
Just...
stop talking.
Let's not have that
conversation right now.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
That's what your side's
all about, isn't it?
Censoring dissent?
Stop.
Why? I mean, we're just talking.
Are you afraid of talking?
No, I'm not afraid of that at all.
I just don't want to confuse the girls.
Is that all right?
I'm sure they're already confused.
I mean...
really, what do you
think about all this?
Do you have an opinion?
They think their mom's a hero,
and they think it's easy
to criticize the situation
when you're sitting
in your mom's living room
thinking about
going back to school--
maybe law, maybe med--
I don't know.
of those privileged opinions
is a freedom that their mother
fights for daily
on your behalf.
That's what they think.
Well, it's-- it's good to see
that you let them
think for themselves.
You girls hungry?
You think your dad
will buy us lunch?
It's 4:
30, man.You think your dad
will buy us dinner?
Want to buy Uncle John dinner?
You don't want to come?
No, I think I'm just
going to stay here and...
take a little cat nap.
You're bigger than
the last time I saw you.
How old are you now?
Dawn's 8. I'm 12 1/2.
Wow.
How old are you?
Bet that sounds
pretty old to you, doesn't it?
Do you have a job?
Why? Are you hiring?
No.
Hey, how come you kids
are out of school?
Dad's taking us
to Enchanted Gardens.
- Why?
- For fun.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Uncle John?
Yeah.
Why did Dad quit the Army?
He didn't quit.
What do you mean?
He had to leave
because of his eyes.
The Army's strict
about crap like that.
But weren't his eyes always bad?
Mm, more or less.
Well, if they're so strict,
how'd he get in in the first place?
He didn't tell you?
Oh, Christ.
Ahem.
Well, if he didn't tell you,
he probably wouldn't
want me to, so--
All right, you promise not
