Post by bunniefuu »

You Tell Her, Freddy

That I Heard That He
Said That She Did

And He Doesn't Lie.

Freddy, Just
Tell Her.

There She Is!

Yes, I Know What
She Looks Like.

Vanessa.

Your Sister Just
Interrupted My Work

To Tell Me You Bothered Her.

She Shouldn't Have.

You're A Busy Man.

That's Not Important.

Yes, It Is.

You Bring New Lives
Into The World.

Without You, Women Would
Stay Pregnant Forever.

The Question Is, Why Are You
Bothering Your Sister?

I Don't Know.

I Told You Not To.

Uh-Huh.

Why Are You Still
Bothering Her?

I Don't Know.

You Two Have To Learn
To Play Together.

Do You
Understand?

Fine.

Now Get Away
From Each Other.

Stop It!

Hey!

I Was Just Hurrying Her Along.

She's Only Five Now,
But She's Going To Grow Up

And She May Begin
To Do Body-Building

Come Back
And Say

"Remember All The Times
You Pushed Me?"

And Clean Your Clock.

Yeah, Dad.

Denise, Didn't I Ask You
To Look After Them?

Give Me This.

Hello, Freddy?

Hi. I'm Hanging Up Now.

You Can Keep Talking
If You Want.

Daddy, This
Wouldn't Happen

If I Had My Own
Phone In My Room.

If You Had Your Own Phone,
We Would Never See You.

You'd Come
Out One Day

And We Would Wonder Who You Are

And Charge You Rent.

I Can't Talk
To My Own Boyfriend?

You Can.

Where?

Any Pay Phone
In New York.

Daddy...

Making Biscuits.

Now Stop. Stop Now.

Come On.

You're Squashing Grapes,
Making A Mess Of The Food

And Bothering Your Sister.

Tell Dad...

Tell Dad What's
The Problem? Please.

How Come Mom Takes Teddy

To See The New Movie
"Death Track "

And Not Me?

Because You Can't Handle
The Scary Stuff.

Everybody Knows That.

You Know
That.

I Read For You

"Little Bo Beep
Has Lost Her Sheep"

When You Were Little.

You Cried For Two Weeks.

Janet Meiser's Parents
Let Her See It.

I Doubt That Very Much.

Yes, They Did.

If You Want Me To

I Will Call
Janet Meiser's Parents

And Ask Them That

And Embarrass You
All To Pieces.

Oh, Hi.
I'm Sorry.

I Wanted To Ask You--

Did You Let Janet
See "Death Track "?

Aha!

All Right.

And Thank You.

She Did.

You Know What That Means?

What?

Nothing, Because
You're Still Not Going.

Daddy, It's Not Fair.

Everyone Gets
To Go But Me.

Vanessa, How Many Times Have You
Begged To Go To A Scary Movie

And Then You Wound Up So Scared
You Had To Sleep With Us?

Twice.

Hundreds Of Times.

Not Hundreds.

Not Twice.

You Missed
A Great Movie.

Yeah?

It Was Non-Stop.
Blood Everywhere.

Did I Get Any On Me?

She Doesn't
Recognize A Classic.

When They Weren't sh**ting
Or Blowing Up A Car Or Building

They Stood There Cursing--

The Foulest Mouths
I've Ever Heard.

Yeah.

Dad, She Was
Real Embarrassed.

Let Me Tell You
About The Movie.

Start From The Beginning
And Talk Slow.

Vanessa, Go To Your Room
And Play With Your Sister

And Stay Away From Her.

There Is No Fun In My Life.

As You Get Older, It Gets Worse.

Tell Me About The Plot
Of This Epic.

There Was This Guy
Max Savage

And This g*ng
Took His Car

And He Had To
Get It Back.

That's The Plot?

Yeah, But You
Hardly Notice It.

What's Really Great
Is These Guys

Have These Machine g*ns
That sh**t Fireballs.

One Guy Had
This Big Bazooka

That Blew Up
Whole Cities.

Have I Got To See This Movie!

Vanessa!

I'm Still Downstairs, Aren't I?

I Could Take
The Stabbings
And The Beatings

And Those People That Explode
Every Six Seconds.

What Got Me Was When
This Movie Let Out

These Kids Left The
Theater Laughing.

It Was Fun.

We've Got One
In Our Own House

And We Feed It.

Errol Flynn
In "Don Juan."

Laurence Olivier In
"Wuthering Heights"?

We Got Colt Kirby And
"sh**t-Out In Laredo."

You Are On Your Own.

He Had Coco The Wonder Horse--

The Smartest Horse
In The World.

Used To Roll His Own Cigarettes.

(Door Opening)

Back From Laredo.

How Was It?

Theo:
Okay.

Okay? It Was Great.

It Wasn't
Realistic.

Wasn't Realistic?

Mr. "My-Girlfriend-Is-
In-The-Building-

"Throw-An-H-b*mb-In-
Blow-Up-Everything-To-Get-Her-

She-Comes-Out-
With-Her-Hair-Unsinged"

Says My Movie
Was Not Realistic?

His Guy Shot His Six-sh**t
Times Without Reloading.

His Guy Rode His Horse Coco
Miles

And Passed The Same Rock
Times.

Well, Tex?

You Don't Go To A Movie
To Count Rocks.

You Go To A Movie
To See Colt Kirby

Who Was A Real Hero--
Honest, Decent.

I Thought He Was A Wimp.

Children, Please.

He Started It.

That's Enough.

Go Wash Up
For Dinner.

With Soap.

Yes, Ma'am.

Colt Kirby Would Have Kicked
Max Savage's Butt.

Are, Too.

Am Not.

Are, Too.

Am Not.

Hold On, Buckaroos.

What Seems To
Be The Ruckus?

What?

In American, That Is
"What's The Trouble"?

Rudy Called Me A Baby
Because Of "Death Track ."

Did Not.

Did So.

Did Not.

Stop It.
Did So.

Did...

Stop.

Did Not.

What Did You Say?

I Called Her
A Chicken Baby.

I Am Not.

Are, Too.

Am Not.

Look, Stop. Stop It!

Now, Here--

Rudy, You Go And You
Help Mommy In The Kitchen.

Vanessa...

Go Help Mom In The Kitchen.

Now?

Do I Have To Say Now?

Uh-Huh.

Hmm?

I Liked Tonight's Supper.
How About You?

Yeah.

A Little Salmon.

Yeah.

We Ought To Eat Light
More Often.

Yeah. I'm Starving.

Me, Too.

I Saw Some
Leftover Chicken.

Uh-Uh.

Cheese And Crackers.

Cheese And Crackers.

Coming Up!

Swiss Cheese And Crackers.

Swiss Is Too Dry.

We Got Cheddar.

Okay.

Cheddar Cheese And Crackers.

What Kind Of Crackers?

Uh, We Got Saltines.

Saltines And Cheddar Cheese.

Okay.

Lightly Toasted.

Lightly Toasted.

Cliff, On Second Thought...

Why Don't We Just
Go With The Chicken?

Why Don't I Just
Bring Up The Refrigerator?

Now You're Talking.

It's : .

I'm On Time.

Looks Almost Done.

Smells Good.

What Is It?

Coffee.

Coffee.

Care To Join Me?

Oh, Yeah. Thank You.

Can I Ask You
A Question?

Oh, Sure.

Do You Have A Nighttime Job
That I Don't Know About--

Like Driving A Truck
Or Something Like That?

Why Are You Drinking Coffee?

I'm Afraid To Go
Back To Sleep.

Had A Bad Dream.

Oh. Had A Bad Dream.

That's Enough.
Thank You, Dear.

This Coffee Does Work,
Doesn't It?

Yes, It Does.
Tell Me About Your Dream.

There Was This Real Mean
g*ng Of Kidnappers.

They Took
Max Savage's Car...

Wait. See?

You're Scared

Because Of What You Heard
Theo Say Two Days Ago.

Imagine If You
Had Gone To That Movie.

Dad, I Did.

How Did You Get A Ticket?

It's Easy.

This High School Guy
Stands Outside The Theater.

He Can Grow A Moustache.

We Call Him "Movie Dave"

And For Fifty Cents,
He'll Take A Kid In.

He Is Cleaning Up!

Was It Worth It?

It Was Horrible.

What We Have To Do
Is Get You Into Bed.

Tomorrow You And I Will Discuss
A Tremendous Grounding.

Let's Go.

There's Supposed To Be
A Child Behind Me.

I Go To My Room
And Close My Eyes

And The Kidnappers Scare Me,
So I'm Back In The Kitchen.

Can't I Stay?

Would It Be Better
If You Slept With Us Tonight?

Thanks, Dad.

I Wouldn't Have To Go In My Room
Or Drink That Coffee.

We Had Something Like
This In Med School.

Take One Sip And You
Were Awake For Six Hours.

Two Sips, You Were
Awake For Hours.

Drink A Cup, You'll
Never Blink In Life.

(Moaning)

Two Nights Of This Is Enough.

I'm Going To Sleep On The Sofa.

(Loud Snoring)

Shut Up.

(Door Opening)

(Door Slamming)

Men Are Dirt.

Uh-Oh. Freddy Messed Up.

We Go To This Restaurant

And The Whole Time,
He's Looking At The Waitress.

Oh, Freddy.

She's Listing The Specials,
He's Looking At Her Legs.

No, Freddy.

So I
Got Mad.

I Said, "Freddy,
Those Aren't On The Menu."

Daddy, I
Was Great.

I Didn't Say, "Take Me Home."

I Said, "I'll Have
The Caviar Appetizer, Please."

Twelve Bucks.

I Said, "I'll Have
The Maine Lobster."

$ . .

"And The Cherries Jubilee."

Eight Dollars.

And Then I Said,
"Take Me Home."

Well, Dear, In The Words
Of Colt Kirby

"I Like Your Style."

Thanks, Daddy.

Good Night.

Mommy, What Happened?

Oh, Honey, You Fell.

Listen, Baby.

We Need To Talk

About These
Sleeping Arrangements.

You Kicking Me Out?

I Know What
You're Going Through.

When I Was Your Age

I Thought I Saw A Witch
Outside My Window.

You Did?

She Had Slimy Green Skin,
Teeth All Bunched Up Together

Stringy White Hair

And She Used To Call

(Raspy Witch Voice)
"Clair, Clair."

Oh, Mom.

When I Saw Her,
I Ran To My Parents' Room.

You Did The Right Thing.

My Mother
Gave Me Something

That Helped Me
Go Back To My Room.

What Did She Give You?

This.

She Gave You
Junk Jewelry?

This Medal Has Been In
Our Family Since .

Wow.

And When My Mother
Gave Me This Medal

I Knew I Would Never Again
Be Bothered By That Witch.

May This Medal
Make You Brave.

I Feel Better Already.

And Now It's Time For You
To Go Back To Your Room.

I Knew It Was Coming.

It's Going To Be Hard,
But I'm Going Back In There.

I'll See Those Kidnappers
Staring Straight At Me

But No Matter How Scared I Get,
I'll Stay In My Room.

I Love You.

Mom?

Huh?

Those Earrings Would Look
So Great With My Medal.

We Have Definitely Got
A Daytime Couch.

Look, Daddy.

My Bravery Medal.

Mommy Gave It To Me.

Oh, My Goodness.

Well, Congratulations.

Good Night, Mama.

Good Night, Baby.

See You In The Morning.

Let's Hope So.

That's My
-Relay Medal.

I Had To Run For Two Years
To Earn That Medal.

You've Got To Give Something
To Get Something.

In The Words Of Colt Kirby...
