and I'm gonna have to

play racquetball,

and I'm gonna have to

get guys laid,

so I hope you don't mind if I

bring a few prostitutes home, honey,

because that's what it

takes to get anywhere,

and I'm not

getting anywhere,

so whatever happens, you have

to count on less help from me

Why don't you just say

what you're really thinking?s

What am I thinking?n

That I should have

an abortion?

I didn't say thatt

That's a decision every

woman has to make on her ownm

What, are you running

for Congress?

Don't give me that I want your

opinion about what we should do

Let's pretend

it's your decision, okay?

Pretend you're a caveman or your

father What do you want me to do?

I want I want

whatever you wanth

Well, I wanna have the babyt

Well, great! Let's have it, then Let's

see how I can screw the fourth one up

Hey, let's have five

Let's have six!

Let's have a dozen

and pretend they're donuts!

I'm really happy about the way

things are turning out, aren't you?

You know, with the

frame of mind you're in,r

not only am I not sure

we should have another baby,y

I'm not sure we should

keep the three we've got

Well, I'm ready

to discuss it

However, I can't right now

because I gotta go

to the goddamn Little Leaguer

Ten little boys

are waiting for me

to guide them

into last place

You really have to go?f

My whole life is "have to"r

Come on, Kevin,

get your glovem

You said I didn't

have to play anymore

I know what I said, but

now I'm changing my minde

If I have to go, you have to go Move it!

Kevin,

Get behind the ball

It's easier to come in

gamblers are gonna kill him

Jesus!

whether to give it to him

And you want my advice?

Why me? Why now?

Because I know you think

I was a shitty father

Thank you

for not arguingh

having to go through that

The caring, the worrying,

the pain,y

that's not for mep

You know, it's not

like that all ends

when you're 18

or 21 or 41 or 61t

It never, never ends

It's like

your Aunt Edna's asst

It goes on forever,

and it's just as frightening

It's true

There is no

end zoneh

You never cross the goal line, spike

the ball and do your touchdown dance

Never

I'm 64,

Larry, 27,r

and he's still my son,

like Kevin is your sonr

Do you think

I want him to get hurt?e
