Men, Women & Children Page #6
Donna, you're the first woman
that I've...
You know, since my wife left me.
Maybe we should just...
Slow things down.
Did you get some good shots?
Actually, I didn't
bring my camera.
I just came to talk to Kent.
You're so on his jock!
Hey, what is up
with that TV show?
I mean, I'm pretty sure
they said they
were gonna let us know
by, like, the end of the week,
and it's
pretty much the end of the week.
So, I don't know...
What do you think the deal is?
We didn't get it.
Why?
I don't... I mean...
I don't get it.
I mean, I'm pretty sure
I must have been
one of the best ones. What...
Did they not like
the video or something?
Honey, they didn't
like our website.
Well, then screw them.
and they're right.
I took down the site.
You what?
What about all of my fans?
If you wanna act, you can act.
We will get you into every
theater program that we can.
But that show and the website,
that's not what you want to do.
Yes, it is. Mom, it is!
You're better
than that stupid show
and you're better than the website.
No, I'm not!
No, you have to put it back up.
I can't.
Yes, you can.
Just push a f***ing button!
I've allowed you
certain flexibility,
but right now
I have to be your mom.
No, you're being
a selfish b*tch.
It's gone!
I deleted it.
Jameson, rocks.
Oh, God.
I wouldn't bother.
I changed your passwords.
Why would...
What is wrong with you?
You don't seem to understand
how dangerous it is on there.
The only thing that's
dangerous in this house,
Mom, is you!
I'm protecting you.
From what, having a normal life?
Give me your phone.
No.
You can give me your phone
or I can call
and cancel the service
you put on there.
It's not like you
haven't already read
all of it, anyway.
What's going on, Dad?
Great group of, uh, friends
you play with there.
Had some real nice things
to say about
having sex with your mother.
You don't understand.
They're just jokes, okay.
Yeah, Selkis... That's how
you pronounce his name?
"Silk-eez"?
Yeah, he prefers
to have reverse cowgirl
so he doesn't have to look
your mother in the face.
I wasn't supposed to know, okay.
I figured you weren't, either.
What the hell's that mean?
I saw an album on Facebook.
She posted it, and I caught it
before she blocked me.
She corrected it, like,
within a few minutes.
She wasn't trying to hurt us.
She didn't want to hurt us?
She abandoned us!
She abandoned you.
Oh, really?
She got a bedroom for you
out there in California?
Hmm?
Did you get your
wedding invite yet?
She abandoned us!
Your mom's gone.
Yeah, she's gone.
She got bored with
the scenery and split.
So it's just you and me,
and that's how it's gonna be.
Probably forever.
All right, Dad, whatever.
And you're playing football
next year.
No, I'm not.
Oh yeah, you are.
No, I'm not!
I understand you needed
the year to, you know,
have your space and stuff,
but you belong on that team.
I don't even f***ing
like football, Dad. Okay?
I like Guild Wars! F*** that stupid game.
It's a waste of time.
No, that's all it is, is time!
And I've put in months
of my life and I...
I'm invested now, okay?
Not anymore, you're not.
Because I canceled it.
You mean, you deleted
the application?
Okay, I'll reinstall it.
Thanks, Dad.
No, you won't.
I called my credit card company
and told them
to delete your account.
So, it's gone.
What?
Why would you do that?
Because, whether you
like it or not,
I'm doing this
for your own good.
Brandy?
Brandy?
Where's Tim?
In his room.
Hey!
Tim!
Tim!
Oh, my God.
Oh, Christ!
Oh, sh*t!
Get a phone!
Hey, Dad.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
You're really beautiful,
you know that?
I'd like to explain last night.
I don't know how we got here.
I just...
It's like we slipped, and before we knew it
the whole reason
had a family just...
What do you want?
I don't...
But I...
I don't...
Cheddar? Swiss?
Scallions? Tomatoes?
I don't know what
I was looking for
when I went online...
Chives?
I understand you're upset.
I just...
I just want to know
what you'd like in your eggs.
Don, we need to talk about this.
I've made mistakes.
So have I.
Oh, yeah.
So have I.
Probably worse than you.
I don't know, Helen...
That's just it.
What's...
What's just it?
Well, we could sit here and
tell each other
everything we've ever done.
Sh*t, everything
we've ever thought.
It might take a while.
But, yeah, we could clear
everything up and
pretty vivid pictures
in our heads.
Or you could just tell me
what you want for breakfast.
Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan.
"That's home. That's us.
"On it everyone you love,
everyone you know,
"everyone you ever heard of,
"every human being who ever was
"lived out their lives.
"every mother and father,
hopeful child,
"every saint and sinner
in the history
"on the mote of dust
suspended in a sunbeam.
"How frequent
their misunderstandings,
"Our imagined self-importance,
"the delusion that
we have some privileged
"position in the Universe
"are challenged
by this point of pale light.
"in the great enveloping
cosmic dark.
"In all this vastness,
there is no hint
"that help
will come from elsewhere
"to save us from ourselves.
"Like it or not,
"for the moment, the Earth
is where we make our stand.
"There is perhaps
no better demonstration
"of the folly of human conceits
"than this distant image
of our tiny world.
"It underscores
our responsibility
"to deal more kindly
with one another
"and to preserve and cherish
the pale blue dot,
"the only home
we've ever known."
