Tape It For Me, Right?

We'll Watch It Together

Later, I Promise.

I Love You.

Love You, Too.

Knock 'Em Dead?

Ok. Bye.

We'll Tape It

For Him.

Already Ready To Go.

Denise:

Guys, Guys, It's Starting.

Ginny:

Oh, My Goodness.

Ok.

Anchor:
Good Evening,

Ladies And Gentlemen,

And Welcome To

A Very Special Wtuv Presentation.

And So,

Without Further Adieu,

Wtuv Proudly Presents

A Day In The Life,

A Film By Trudy Walker.

Trudy:
Meet My Twin Brother

Eddie Walker.

Good Morning, Tru.

[Burps]

[All Laugh]

Look At Me!

That's Me On Tv,

Huh, Mom, Like Gilligan?

Only 100 Times

More Handsome.

Ha Ha! Monkey Man

Attack! Aah!

Here You Go, Monkey Man!

Tru:
Whoo Whoo Whoo

Whoo Whoo Whoo!

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Eddie Is The Most Beautiful

And Profound Person I Know.

Eddie:
Wow.

Wow. Look At That!

Ew. It's A Gross,

Disgusting Spiderweb.

No. Uh-Uh.

It's Perfect And

Beautiful And Strong.

Ginny:
To The Side.

Tru:
You Guys

Are Doing Great.

Certainly Are. Ok...

There I Am,

In All My Glory.

That's Ok.

Eddie:
Oops. Sorry, Mom.

Everybody Makes Mistakes.

Yeah, E-E-E-Except God,

Though, Right, Mom?

'Cause If God

Makes Mistakes,

Then The Whole World

Will Look Like A Kid Drew It, Right?

Right?

If An Athlete

Gets Athlete's Foot,

What Does An Astronaut Get?

Give Up. What?

Missile Toe.

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

But Living With A Twin

Who Has A Mental Disability

Isn't Always

The Easiest Thing.

Eddie, Put My Camera Down.

Come Here. That's Mine.

Eddie:
Hi, Tru!

Give It To Me Now.

Eddie, Put It Back, Eddie.

Let's Get

The Candy, Too, Ok?

Eddie, No.

Clerk:
Will You

Hurry Up Here?

Let's Get The Candy.

Is This Gonna

Be Everything Or--

No. The Candy, Too.

No. We Are Done.

Thank You.

Tru, I Want

To Get The Candy!

No, Eddie, Come On.

Please.

Get The Candy, Tru!

Clerk:
Hey, Hey, Hey,

Calm Down.

I Want To Get The Candy.

Eddie, Drop It.

Tru, Get The Candy!

Turn Off The Camera!

Let's Get The Candy, Tru!

Clerk:
Give Him

The Candy!

Let's Get The Candy!

I've Got A Line.

When Eddie Acts Like This,

I Know What

Everybody's Thinking.

How Could

You Live With Him?

Eddie:
Stay Up!

Stupid Kite, Stay Up!

Stay Up!

Please.

Stupid Kite, Stay Up!

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid! Kite's Stupid.

[Sobs]

Stupid Kite.

It Must Be Retarded.

Tru:
I Was Gonna

Go See Toy Story 2 With Some Friends,

And Eddie Went--

I Mean, Combustible.

Kicking, Screaming,

Flinging Himself On The Floor...

And I Makes Me

Really Embarrassed

That He's My Brother.

[Whispers]

It's All Right.

I Just Wish Other People

Would Take The Time

To Get To Know Him

The Way That I Do.

Eddie:
Hey, Tru. Hey.

Want An Apple?

Hey, Are You Sure?

If--If You Want One, Tru,

Um, It's Right Here, Ok?

Right There.

If You Ever Think

You Ought To Feel Sorry For Eddie...

Don't.

Because

He's Got More Joy

Than Almost

Any Other Kid I Know.

And Don't Feel Sorry

For Me, Either,

Because I've

Got A Brother

Who, Every Single Day,

Teaches Me What's

Important In Life.

I've Been Waiting

The Longest Time

For This Moment

To Come Alive

Now I've Started To See

When You Look At Me

That In Your Eyes

I Find A Secret World

In Your Eyes...

Hi!

There Lies

A Secret World

And Everything

Feels Right

When We're Safe Inside

Of Our Secret World

Wow.

That Was Great.

You're Gonna Be A Star.

Big Humongous Star, Tru.

Pretty Impressive.

[Softly]

Yeah.

Where Are You?

You Noticed, Huh?

Oh, Yeah.

Hazards Of

The Medical Life.

Mmm.

We All Become

Invisible Fathers.

Yeah. Some Of Us

More Than Others.

Wow. I Don't Believe It.

I Mean,

You Were So Out There.

Wasn't It Scary To Do?

Yeah. I Wonder What

All The Other Kids Are Gonna Think.

Who Knows?

Her Opinions Were Dumb,

All The Images

Were Clichs,

And Her Wardrobe Was,

Like, Completely The Worst.

If I Were Tru,

I'd Drop Out Of School

And Move To Siberia.

It Would Have Been

Much More Effective

If She'd Done The Entire

Program In Spanish.

Of Course,

She Could Never Stay Awake

Long Enough In My Class

To Learn.

A Whole 1/2 Hour

Of The Retard Twins?

Pass-Adena.

[Bell Rings]

I Saw Your Show, Tru.

It Was Fantastic.

Thanks.

Hey, Tru. Nice Job.

Really Impressive.

Wow. Thanks.

My Mom Cried

Through The Whole Thing.

Hey, Tru. Hey.

[Applause]

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Tru.

Hey, Tru, Come In Here

A Second, Willya?

I Want To Talk To You.

Ok, I Watched

Your Show Again.

But If People

Were Only Paying Casual Attention,

I'm Not Sure They'd Even

Know You Have A Dad.

Sorry. I Tried

To Put You In More.

But...

Come On. What Happened?

Tell Me. I Can Handle It.

It's...

If I'd Used All

The Stuff I'd Shot,

I Know You Would

Have Been Really Mad.

Oh, Come On.

Well, I Think You Have

To Show Me, Then.

You Know, We Really

Don't Have To Do This.

Why? What Are

You Afraid Of?

Hurting Your Feelings.

Ha Ha Ha.

What'd You Do,

Draw Devil Horns On Me Or Something?

Come On.

Let's Let The Footage

Speak For Itself.

[Whimpers]

[Beep Beep]

Bob:
That Was Something

I Really Liked.

Aah! Unbelievable!

We Can't Even

Get Through A Meal!

Sorry.

Ok. I Lost My Temper.

That Happens.

What Am I, Perfect?

Come On. What Else?

[Beep]

Eddie:
Dad! Dad, Monkey Man!

He's Gonna Get Me, Dad!

Come On,

Come On, Come On!

Does It Look

Like I'm Working?

Dad!

I'm Working Here!

What Do I Have

To Do To Make It Clear To You?

Come On--Out!

Let's Go. Out. Out.

Sorry.

What Are You Do--

Are You Filming This?

Turn The Camera Off.

Hi. It's Dr. Walker.

You Paged Me?

Eddie! Stop It!

Can't You See

I'm On The Phone?!

[Sighs]

I'm Working Now!

Can I Just Get

5 Minutes To Myself?

Oh, For--Eddie,

What Is This Mess?!

Eddie, Pick Up

Your Clothes.

How Many Times

Have I Told You

Not To Throw Your

Clothes On The Floor?

It's All Like This?

Pretty Much.

Or Else

You Weren't There.

[Beep]

[Sighs]

Dad, Your Job

Is Really Hard.

You're Under

A Lot Of Stress.

Eddie And I

Know That.

We Totally Get It.

That's No Excuse.

You Deserve

Better Than This.

Ohh. What Do I Do Now?

Honey, I Had No Idea.

I Mean, Who Is That Guy?

Dad...

Eddie Loves Us

No Matter What--

Even When

We Make Mistakes.

You And Me And Mom,

We're His

Entire World.

He Just...Loves Us.

Maybe All We Have To

Do Is Love Him Back.

[Whispers]

All Right.

One Click,

It's All In

The Recycle Bin.

Naw. Save It.

You Might Need It

To Keep Me In Line.

[Beep Beep]

Note To Self:
When I Do Make

A Tv Show Out Of My Life,

Remind Me To Cast

Somebody Else As My Mom.

You Know, You Never

Had To Be Deedee.

All You Had To Do

Was Talk To Me.

You Make It Sound

So Easy.

You Know, It Wasn't

That Long Ago

You Used To Tell Me

Everything.

Sometimes More Than

I Wanted To Hear.

Just Because

I Don't Tell You

Every Intimate

Detail Of My Life,

It Doesn't Mean That

I Don't Love You.

I Never Thought

You Didn't Love Me.

I Just Missed You.

When I Was Making

My Movie...

Watching It Over

And Over Again,

It Really Hit Me.

You Know How
