Where are you going?

Where are you going, Madame?

Oh hi!

Come here...

You want the stick? Go get it!

Did you see it?

Oh you sure talk a lot!

What is your name?

I'm talking to you!

Talking to you!

That's his name!

HA HA!

That's not his name.

HA HA!

Hello, HA HA.

You know, man...

When you look at it, just

really, really look at it...

You just look at it

really closely...

It's just not worth it you know?

It's not part of the deal.

It's like you just can't

really, you know...?

It's like tucked away

up there in a corner.

Just there in a corner,

you know?

And I'm worried...

I'm really worried.

I'm really really really really

REALLY worried.

Don't step on a crack.

It'll break your mother's back.

HA HA!

HA HA!

HA HA!

Look at me.

All the abuse I've taken

and I've got

a beautiful head of hair!

God almighty,

it's a glorious day!

I'm probably gonna be a doctor.

And I have bloody gloves.

Oh wow!

And what about you, Kyle?

Football player.

Football player? Which one?

Mark Sanchez.

Oh, he plays for the Jets.

That's pretty cool.

Hey, you guys.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Not a problem.

Not a problem at all.

- You guys ready?

- Yeah...

I'll see you tomorrow boys.

Have a good night.

Thank you so much. Bye.

Alright guys. Let's go!

Okay, so let's try it from here.

This is closer.

Oh!

Got it?

This is it.

We're gonna do it this time!

Okay, maybe not.

We have to make

at least one basket.

This is shameful.

- Yeahhhh!

- Oh my god!

- High five, dude!

- That was like out of...

I don't even know

what just happened.

Kyle come play with us!

My shoelace is untied.

So tie it back up!

I don't know how.

What do you mean?

Why are you wearing these shoes?

Where are your velcro shoes?

If you're gonna wear shoes

that have laces,

then we need to learn

how to tie them, right?

Alright.

So you're gonna

take your shoelaces...

You're gonna make an X, alright?

Then you take this

and you pull it under.

And tie it.

Now we make a hoop here...

So you have two little ears.

Now you make an X with those,

and then you tuck this under...

And you tie it.

- You did it!

- I did it!

Hey, uh-uh, no way, guys.

Finish your homework first

and then you can play.

Hello!

Alright, you guys.

Do your...

Come sit down, do your homework,

and then you can play.

Gimmie...

Can I have that please?

Hello! Anybody home?

- Where is everybody?

- Daddy!

I've lost everybody.

There's nobody home.

There used to be

kids running around.

I don't see anybody.

Where is everybody?

Oh, here are

the little monsters!

What have you been up to?

You've been shooting people,

haven't you?

Yeah?

Okay come on.

Let's take

this little one to Lily,

and show her what we have

for dinner tonight.

Lily!

Look what I brought home

for dinner tonight. Look!

- Okay.

- Put him in the bowl!

Aaron please,

I just got them settled down.

They need to do

their homework, please.

I guess you have no choice.

Let's go and do homework.

Lily, they've disappeared again.

I have no idea where they went!

Aaron, please!

Alright, they need to finish

their homework.

Okay, okay...

We're not going to win tonight.

You're going to have to do

your homework.

So what's for dinner tonight?

Fish and vegetables.

- Oh no!

- Oh no!

- Fish and vegetables!

- Fish and vegetables!

Ahhhh!

I'm exhausted.

Have a long day?

Thanks for

picking the kids up today.

You're welcome.

Do you know

Kyle can't tie his shoes?

Really?

His mom

was supposed to show him.

Well, she didn't.

I'll show him tomorrow.

I already showed him.

I was thinking...

Now that your treatment

is almost over...

maybe we could

go away next month?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe?

I just feel like I really need

to try finding a job right now.

I'm not so sure I should leave.

I'll think about it.

Okay.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Stop it...

Stop...

Ask her...

Yes?

He wants to know

if you like your hair like that?

- What do you think?

- I think it looks funny.

I think you look funny!

- No I don't!

- Yeah you do!

C'mon guys, get ready. You're

going to be late for school.

Yeah, I know, it's tough.

You're staying

with your mom tonight.

Do you have everything you need?

- Yeah, we know.

- Yeah, we know.

- Bye, darling.

- Bye.

Blech!

- Ohhhh, gross!

- Come on...

- What are you up to today?

- Not much.

- Not much?

- Yeah.

- I'll see you later.

- Okay.

Bye!

Bye.

Grab your jackets, guys.

Angels and devils,

everybody except for God.

You know, in theory,

to keep safe...

Chess players are always quick

to say and state the theory.

But you're on shaky ground

when you say theory.

Lot of people become geniuses

if they ride the wave.

A lot of people become

mentally defunct.

You know what I'm saying?

A mental nervous breakdown...

'Cause you have so many things

hitting at you.

And you're saying everything...

Love, business, finance,

you know what I'm saying?

Travel here, do these things,

studying, and what have you.

So, I'm gonna know

so many things,

so many things

are hitting at you,

you don't have time to figure

everything out

to its fullest degree.

That's why there's so much

debate in the world now.

A person says, "Oh no. "

Her husband says,

"No, it's this way. "

And other people say,

"No, it's this way"...

A lot of marriages

are breaking up

because the woman says,

"No, it's this one,"

and that's because

they're not looking

at everything right

in theory at all.

Because after a while,

if you don't conquer it,

you have a nervous breakdown,

so many things...

Hello?

Hello...

What's all this?

I thought I'd surprise you and

try and cook for you for once.

Wow...

that was really sweet of you.

Which was started

under Fidel Castro,

and the opening images are

Fidel and Che Guevara playing

golf at the country club.

- At the country club?

- They have memberships.

They hung out there

all the time.

That's how I pictured it

in my head:

cigars, Cuban cigars...

But anyway, while they were

playing golf

in a terrible manner,

they were looking at

the landscape and Fidel said,

"We are going to build here

"the most important

art school in the world. "

I like how it's already

Well, everything with Fidel

was "the most important. "

And within a couple of days

they had commissioned somebody

to find the architect,

an important artist...

And they started designing

this art school

on the golf course.

So they planned these buildings,

there was

a huge building for dance,

a building for the visual arts,

a building for sculpture,

- a building for music...

- Oh, speaking of music!

I got an awesome record today.

Which I think

you might just like...

- What do you think about that?

- Now that's a surprise!

- Is that a surprise?

- That's a surprise!

- Oh, hey Mary!

- Hey, Lily.

Listen,

it's about the noise up here.

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, I was teaching myself

how to tap dance.

That's really great for you,
