I GOT A KID WITH SOME TALEN AND YOU CAN'T GET HER.

HEY, HOW'D IT GO? DID

THEY LAUGH, THEY CRY?

NOBODY CRIED.

YOU KNOW, CHAPMAN, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S DIFFICULT NOT TO BE JEALOUS

WITH SOMEONE WHO PEAKS AT 15,

DOES A COUPLE OF LOVE BOATS

AND A HOLLYWOOD SQUARES...

AND WINDS UP WORKING FOR DADDY

BECAUSE HE CAN'T GET A JOB

ANYWHERE ELSE.

I ALSO DID A CHARLIE'S ANGELS,

AND YOU KNOW THAT.

HEY, HEY, HEY!

JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING

I COULD OUT OF THE EVENING.

SO I WAS THINKING,

I CAN'T CONCENTRATE

ON THE COMMERCIALS AT HOME...

WITH LENNY:

AND ALL HIS STUPID FRIENDS.

SO I THOUGHT I'D STAY HERE

UNTIL WE'RE DONE.

[Chuckles]

THAT'S THREE WEEKS AWAY.

SO WHAT?

SO I DON'T THINK YOUR SISTER'S

GONNA BE TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

LISTEN, I TAKE BETTER CARE

OF HER THAN SHE DOES OF ME.

SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

SHE KNOWS I'M HERE. IT'S COOL.

IT'S NOT COOL.

CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?

I DON'T WANNA BE RUDE...

AND I'M REAL SORRY

ABOUT YOUR DOMESTIC PROBLEMS.

BUT THIS IS:

MY LUCKY PAC-MAN PILLOW,

THIS IS MY HOUSE,

THIS IS YOUR BAG

AND THAT'S THE DOOR.

I LIKE MY PRIVACY.

MORE THAN YOUR COMMISSION?

WHAT, ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

I DON'T RESPOND WELL TO THREATS.

I WILL NOT BE THREATENED.

[Grunting]

[Angie]

YOU ARE SUCH A PIG!

YUCK!

[Knocking]

YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW THIS GIRL?

IS SHE STAYING WITH YOU?

THAT DEPENDS.

WHAT DID SHE DO?

HUH! I FOUND HER

IN THE HALL THIS MORNING,

THROWING OUT YOUR GARBAGE.

I'M SORRY, MRS. CANTRELL.

THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

I HOPE IT HAPPENS

EVERY DAY.

USUALLY, THE GARBAGE

JUST SITS THERE,

SMELLING UP THE WHOLE PLACE.

NOT TO MENTION:

THE CIGARETTE BUTTS.

DEAR?

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME

TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL?

YEAH, RIGHT. IN MY NEXT LIFE.

LOOK AT THIS PLACE!

THERE'S A FEW LITTLE PROBLEMS.

A FEW LITTLE PROBLEMS?
