Mommy, where did Dad put the Advil?

Oh, sh*t.

I'm gonna need you to...

I need you to help me

the next 24 hours, okay?

- Do you think you can do that?

- My house.

Shut up

Is she retarded?

What do you mean?

Is it possible to die of the flu?

I'm asking you.

- Is she very sick?

- She has a temperature of 105.2.

How is she acting?

She's not acting any way,

she's asleep.

- Don't wake her up.

- Is she dehydrated?

She urinated around 10:30,

we gave her lots of fluids.

- Is she hallucinating?

- She's asleep.

- Is she lethargic?

- She's asleep, goddamn it!

- Bring her in, then, okay?

- All right.

Stephanie? Stephanie?

Can you wake up, honey?

It's Mommy, sweetie.

Can you hear me?

- Sweetie?

- I need you to wake up now, honey.

- She's completely...

- You have to get up now.

Hi. Come on up on Daddy's shoulder.

There we go. Good girl.

I'm gonna take her in.

- We packed Sammy.

- All right, thank you.

- Stay upstairs with Leah, okay?

- Okay.

Dave? Dave? Is she hurt?

- Dave?

- No, don't come outside.

- Who's that? Is that Lizzie's bike?

- Call me. If you want me to come over...

No, honey, stay here.

I can take Leah and Lizzie

over to Megan's house.

That's a good girl. All right.

I just know we're gonna feel like idiots

tomorrow when they release her.

Good, watch your arm.

- Call me, please.

- I'll call you.

It's okay.

Go back inside, honey.

Steph?

Honey? Steph?

Stephie?

Stephanie?

What the hell is...?

We'll be there in a minute, honey.

Hey, hey, we'll be there in a minute.

Stay with me, you. Okay.

Come on.

Jesus Christ!

Hello?

Signey? Signey was the pushy one?

You didn't like her,

she wanted you to stay in the bath?

- Yeah.

- Is it Susan or Signey?

I think it was Susan.

Look what happened.

Look what you did.

You owe me 100 bucks.

Here, hold on to that, hold on to that.

You scared us.

You know something? This stuff

should be the Italian sprouts.

- What's your monster's name, huh?

- Diarrhea!

Diarrhea?

Just like you said.

Five days, right on the nose.

- Cut it out.

- I don't wanna believe it.

You think I like this?

No Dana yet, huh?

No, she called. She canceled

her appointments. Didn't you know?

Maybe she told me

and I wasn't listening.

I called Mark and told him

not to come in.

- Okay, see you guys.

- See you.

- You believe me now?

- No.

Yes.

I just wanna murder him sometimes.

Yeah, his own sister

doesn't even like him.

You know what he did?

- Come on, what? Tell me.

- I'll tell you outside.

- Come on, tell me, please?

- Welcome home.

Just tell me, please?

Tell me.

Take your own.

Napkins, ladies.

Okay?

- Where's Mom?

- I don't know.

I don't know, guys.

It's okay.

Say yes, say yes, say yes.

No, say no, Leah, no.

Say yes, say yes, say yes.

- No, say no, say no.

- Say yes.

Say no.

- Say yes, Leah.

- Say no.

- Say yes.

- Careful with her neck, guys.

Say no.

- Oh, look, the boys.

- Powerpuff Boys.

- The Powerpuff Boys.

- She's like:

- The Rowdyruff Boys.

- The Roundywuff Boys?

The Rowdyruff Boys.

- Good night, sweetheart.

- Good night.

In.

There we go.

Good night, sweetheart.

- Dad?

- Yeah?

Good night.

Good night.

What?

Why are you so devoted to this?

You wouldn't understand it.

- Marriage is impossible, David.

- You really believe that?

Listen to me.

In some way, it's why I went through

the whole ordeal of college...

...dental school...

- Eight years.

- Nine years.

Taking out loans, saving.

- High school.

- Putting up with my father.

- Everything.

- Everything.

- For this.

- To have this.

What I have.

Had?

Well.

Wait! What hurts?

Everything.

- because Pocket Fisherman

can hang on your belt.

Casting is so easy with

the Popeil Pocket Fisherman.

And, boy, you can catch

all kinds of great fighting fish.

Pocket Fisherman is also

great fun for adults too.

In fact, the Popeil Pocket Fish...

Well, until last night I thought...

...I might be misreading

the signals somehow.

No?

How are the girls? Are they okay?

Who is he?

Worried about you.

- Who is he?

- And I'll ask the questions.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Are you leaving or staying?

I'm staying.

Are you sure?

Daddy! Daddy!

Just a minute, sweetie.

Daddy! Daddy!

You go.

I just make her cry harder.

I don't want to know who it is.

I don't want to know what you did.

- Daddy!

- Daddy's coming, honey.

Hi. Hi, sweetie.

- Daddy.

- Good morning, sweetie.

- Mommy!

- Hi.

Hi.

Mommy!

The girls will be up soon.

Teeth.

Two little rows of stones

in the flesh...

... but as sensitive in their own way

as fingertips.

Or lips.

Impossible.

Like marriage.

But there they are.

How are they?

I'll tell you in a while.

Open.
