[bunniefuu]

Clair.

I'm On My Way To
The Community Center.

Okay.

So Have
A Nice Day.

What Are You
Doing Today?

Nothing.

Now What Are You Smiling About?

Remember When We Celebrated

The Anniversary Of
The Day You Proposed To Me?

Yeah.

That Was A Great Dinner
And You Paid.

Ever Since Then I've Been
Thinking About That Sweater

That I Wore
The Night You Proposed.

Do You Still Have That?

Think I Could Still Wear It?

Oh, Dear, It's Probably
Too Big For You Now.

Do You Remember What Color
The Sweater Was?

Yeah, It Was...

Um...

Yeah, It, Uh...

It Was...

Awww.

It... It...

It Was Purple.

A Purple Sweater It Was.

Wrong.

It Was White.

White.

It Was White And It Had
Little Things Across

And It Was Really,
Really Cute.

It Was Lovely.

Remember What
You Were Wearing?

Yeah, I Had
The Purple Sweater.

You Don't Remember.

I Do Remember.

I Had A Purple
Sweater On, Dear.

Purple.

You Were Not Wearing
A Purple Sweater.

Okay, I Had On...

Uh... Yeah, You're Right.

It Was, Um...

It Was A Green Tweed Jacket.

There You Go.

Green Tweed Jacket.

How Come I Remember
Everything And You Don't?

It Isn't That I...

I Mean...

It Isn't...

I Remember...

I Remember The Important Things.

I Don't Have To
Remember Everything.

What Did You Say
When You Proposed?

sh**t, You Know What I Said.

Say It Again.

I Said...

"I Love You."

And?

"Very Much."

And?

And "I Hope That You Take
This Ring And Be Mine Forever

Because I Think That You're
The Most Beautiful Creature

That Ever Walked
The Face Of This Earth.

Wrong. That Is Not
What You Said.

What Did You Say?

Oh!

You Mean What Did I Say.

What Did You Say?

Clair, Now Don't.

I Misunderstood.

See, That's What
I Was Thinking.

That's What I Was Thinking.

What Did You Say?

You Want To Know What I Said?

Okay, Okay.

What I Said Was, "I...

I Said, "I Think That You Are
The Most Wonderful Person

"On The Face Of This Earth.

Would You Take This Ring... "

That's Not
What You Said.

Hi, Dad.

I'm Just Having A Talk
With Your Father.

No, This Woman Is Trying
To Strangle Me To Death.

What Did You Do?

I Made A Mistake And I
Proposed To This Woman.

Dad, If You Ever Make It Out

Can I Talk To You
Before You Leave?

Yes.

Okay, I'll Be Downstairs.

Okay.

Oww.

You Don't Remember Anything
About That Night.

I'm Burning This Sweater.

Don't Burn Anything.

I Don't Have To
Remember Everything.

I Remember The Important Things.

Ask Me Another Question.

What Was Playing On The
Radio When You Proposed?

When I Proposed?

On The Car Radio?

Yes.

Ray Charles'
"I Can't Stop Loving You"

.

Sold Million Copies.

Cliff.

Now Deal With That.

Hi, Denise.

Hi.

What Are You Doing?

Waiting To Talk To Dad.

About What?

Just Things.

What Things?

They're Private.

Tell Me.

No.

Tell Me.

It's None Of Your Business.

I Already Know.

Oh, Really? What?

I'm Not Telling.

Face.

Hi.

Are You
In A Hurry?

Sort Of.

Then I'll Wait

Because This Is
Really Important.

No, I've Got Another Half Hour.

What Is It?

I'll Wait.

Your Mind's On Class
And I Need You Here.

No, No, I'm Here.

Really Here?

Let Me Show You
How Here I Am.

See, I'm Here
And You Sit Down Here

And We're All Here.

Okay.

I Have A Problem.

I Have A Friend

And She's A Really Good Person.

But I Think There's
Something Wrong With Her-

You Know, Physical.

Is This Person Related To Me?

Dad, It's Not Me.
It Is A Friend.

Go Ahead.

She Came To Me
Because You're A Doctor

And She Wants To See You.

Why Can't She Go See
Her Family Doctor?

She Doesn't Want To Go To Him

Because He May Tell Her Parents.

She Doesn't Want Her Parents
To Know About It.

Exactly. Which Leaves Me
Thinking Of A Few Possibilities.

I'm Afraid
If You Don't See Her

She Won't Go To Anybody.

Okay.

You Tell Her That I Will See Her
At : Monday Morning.

All Right?

Thank You.

All Right, Fine.

I'll Go Call Her.

What's Her Name, Dear?

She Doesn't Want Me
To Tell You.

So, At : In The Morning

I'm Going To Meet This Girl
With No Name

Who Doesn't Want
Her Parents To Know

That She Has A Physical Problem.

Right.

Okay.

Denise?

Yes?

See You : , Monday.

Dad, It Is Not Me.

Just Checking.

So, You All Must...

You All Must Please
Do Your Exercises.

No, Come On, Moderately
Do Your Exercises, Please.

Mrs. Gwynne.

I Hate Those
Prenatal Exercises.

Yeah!

They're Hard For Me.

You See, I'm Not
Used To Exercising.

I've Always Been Able
To Maintain My Shape

Without Any Exercise At All.

Boo!
Boo!

Will I Have To Do Exercise To
Regain My Shape After The Baby?

I'm Happy To Tell You

You Will Have To Do
Six Weeks Of Calisthenics.

Mrs. Dubois...

How Many Months Are You?

Six Months.

I Think You're A Little
Overweight, Dear.

Twins.

Ohh!
Ohh!

No, No.

I Had Twins
The Last Time.

Oh.
Oh.

Do You Think I'll
Get Back Into Shape?

If You Stay Away
From Your Husband.

That Concludes Whatever
Just Happened Here.

I'll See You All Next Week.

Thank You All.

Bye-Bye.

Thank You.

Hi.

Hi. Can I Help You?

You Don't Know Me

But I'm A Friend Of Denise's.

Yes, Denise Says
You're Not Feeling Well.

That's
Right.

I Was Wondering
If You Could See Me Today.

Are You Pregnant?

No. I'm Positive I'm Not.

I'll Call My Nurse

And We Can Run Some Tests.

I'll Be Able To Tell You
What's Happening Exactly.

Thanks.
I've Been Feeling Worse Lately.

How Long Have You Been Sick?

About Four Weeks.

You've Waited Four Weeks

And You Haven't Said Anything
To Your Parents?

I Can't.

Why?

Because Then They'll Know

I'm Not What They Think I Am.

You Don't Want
Your Parents To Know

You're Sexually Active.

Believe Me,
They Wouldn't Understand.

I Don't Know
Your Parents.

All I Know Is

If Any Of My Children
Ever Got Into Trouble

Or Had A Problem

And Thought They Couldn't
Come To My Wife Or Me

I Would Have A Fit.

Maybe I'll Tell Them
After I Know What's Wrong.

Maybe?

Okay, I Will.

You Will?

Fine. Okay.
Here We Go.

Come On. Come On.

Hi, Dad.

Where's
Everybody Else?

Rudy's
At Peter's

But Everyone
Else Is Here.

You Go Round Them Up
And Bring Them All Down Here.

Who's In Trouble?

Nobody.

Just Do What I Tell You, Okay?

Hi, Dear.

Hi.

How Was Class?

Fine.

Can I Ask You
Something?

Sure.

Do You Think Our Children
Tell Us Everything?

Who's In Trouble?

Nobody's In Trouble.

I've Just Come Up
From The Office.

A Young Girl Comes In

Scared About
What She Might Have.

All She Has
Is A Mild Bladder Infection

Which Can Be Cleared Up
In A Couple Of Weeks.

Lovely Girl-

Intelligent, Beautiful...

Could Have Been
One Of Our Children.

What's The Point?

The Point Is
She Didn't Tell Her Parents

And She Let It Go Four Weeks.

Would Our
Children

Never Get Into
Any Trouble Whatsoever

Or Would Our Children Get
Into Trouble And Not Tell Us?

I'd Say A Little Of Both

But I Think If Our Kids
Were In Serious Trouble

They Would Come To Us.

I Told Vanessa To Get
All The Children Downstairs.

We're Having A Meeting.

Now?

Yes.

I'll Be
Right There.

Dad, Whatever It Is,
I Didn't Do It.

It Has Nothing To Do
With What You Did.

I Have A Few Ideas
About The Family Vacation.

It Is Not About The Vacation.

What's It
About?

It's About Us.

I Want You All To Know

That If You Ever Have A Problem

Or If You Ever Get Into
Any Kind Of Trouble

Please Feel Free-

No Matter How Bad
You Think It Is-

To Come To Your
Mother Or Me

And We Will Try To Help You.

Okay.
Okay.

No,
No, No.

Wait A Minute. Sit Down.

Isn't The
Talk Over?

No.

I Was Hoping This
Would Begin A Discussion.

What Are We
Discussing?

What I Just Said.

I Like What
You Just Said.

You Said It Very Well.

I'm Not Asking For A
Critique Of What I Said.

Your Father
Wants To Know

How You Feel
About What He Said.

We Feel Good
About It.

Guys, Sit Down.
This Is Serious.

Your Father And
I Want To Know

That You Feel You
Can Really Come To Us.

Yeah.

About Anything?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let Me Give You An Example,
All Right?.

Let's Say That One Of You...

Became Pregnant.

Dad!

No, No. I'm Serious.

I Know
It's Not Me.

Okay, Let's Say It's You.

Me?

Let's Say That You Are Pregnant.

Okay?

Now, What Are You Going To Do?

I'd Want To Find Out
Who Did It.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

You Didn't Find Out.

You Didn't Find Out.

Now, What Would You Do?

Can You Help
Me On This?

Don't
Look At Me.

Don't Even Think
Of Looking At Me.

Come On. Help Your Brother.

I Guess I'd Be
Scared, Wouldn't I?

Definitely.

Very
Definitely.

If I Was Scared

I Would Probably
Go To A Friend First.

If You Become Pregnant,
You Would Go To Cockroach?

You Said Be Honest.

I Know I Said
Be Honest.

I'm Just Amazed
That You Would Go To Cockroach

And Not Come To Us.

I'd Be Afraid You'd Get Mad.

Mad?

I'm Not Going To Get Mad.

Ha Ha.

Oh, Come On.

I Wouldn't.

You Can Say
That Now

Because It
Hasn't Happened.

I'm Telling You
I Wouldn't Get Mad.

When I Say I Wouldn't Get Mad,
I Mean I Wouldn't Get Mad.

You
Understand?

There's Nothing
More Important To Us

Than Your Health And Well-Being.

You Sit Over There
And Tell Me I'll Get Mad.

If You've Got A Problem

We Want To Know
So We Can Help You.

I Know When
I'm Mad About Something.

Okay, Dad.

Okay, What?

In The First Place, Let's Get
Things Straightened Out.

Dogs Get Mad.

Human Beings Get Angry.

If You Promise
Not To Get Angry

Maybe We Should Give You
Some Examples.

Go Ahead.

Vanessa Comes To You
And Tells You

She's Been Secretly Seeing
A Boy Who's Seventeen.

Oh!

Way To Go,
Vanessa.

Seventeen?!

First Of All

I Think That
I Would Not Get Angry

Because She Came To Us.

We Wouldn't Get Angry,
But We Would Get Serious.

We Would Sit Vanessa Down
And Have A Long Talk.

But I Didn't
Do Anything.

I'm Not Seeing
Anybody Secretly.

There's Robert,
But He's Only Twelve.

Please Use An Example
Without Me In It.

Okay.

Dad.

Say I Took
The Keys To Your Car

And Drove Downtown
With The Guys-

You Know,
To Get Some Burgers.

Ooh.

First Of All,
You Don't Have A License.

I Know.

But What If I Did It Anyway?

And When I
Brought It Back

It Had A Ding In It.

I Think That This Is A Good
Example For Us To Discuss.

I Would Feel
Very, Very Comfortable

With My Son...

I'm
Serious.

You All Think You Know Me,
But You Really Don't Know Me.

I Would Work It Out With You

So That We Could
Get The Car Fixed.

Right.

Yeah, Right.

Mom, I Got
One For You.

Okay.

Remember When I Spent
The Night At Jeanette's House

A Couple Of
Weeks Ago?

Yes, I Do.

Okay, Well, Um...

I Didn't Spend The Night
At Jeanette's.

I Spent It
At Tommy Watkins'.

You What?!

Why Didn't Mr. And Mrs. Watkins
Call Us And Tell Us About It?

They Were Gone.

They Were?!

You Spent The Night
At Tommy Watkins' House

And His Parents Were...
Were Not There?

Yeah.

We Didn't Do Anything.

Are You Angry?

Ask Your Mother.

Mom, Are You Angry?

Oh, No,
I'm Not Angry.

I'm Mad.

I Was Just Kidding.

That Was
A Good One.

I Made It Up.
I Did.

It Was
A Joke.

Denise, We're Going To Talk.

I Was Kidding.

I Spent The Night
At Jeanette's.

You Can Call Her Mom
And Ask Her.

I Think
What We Have To Understand

Is That We're
Going To Get Angry

But What We're Hoping For

Is That You All Would Still
Come To Us

If You Have Any Problems

As Opposed To Going To Other People.

We Love You

And I Don't Think That
Anybody Can Care For You

With The Love
That We Have.

No One Cares More
Than Your Mother And Me.

Okay?

Okay. Okay. Okay.

I'm Certainly Glad
We Had This Little Talk.

Yeah.

And Now I'm
Going Upstairs.

To Call Jeanette's Mother.

I Was Kidding.

Theo?

Yeah,
Dad?

Let Me See
You A Minute.

Yeah.

What's Up?

Uh... I Was
Really Interested

In What You Were
Saying About The Car.

About A Couple Months Ago

I Parked The Car One Morning
Right Beside The Tree.

Outside.

I Came In.

And Next Day I Came Back

And I Noticed That The Car
Had Been Moved About Five Feet.

I Couldn't
Understand It

Until You Were Telling
This Little Story...

That Must Have Been

When Your Car
Was Blocking Mr. Davidson's Car.

Mm-Hmm.

He Came Over Early One Morning
And Wanted The Car Moved.

I Didn't Want To Wake You

So I Took The Keys

Unlocked The Door

And Pushed It.

You Didn't Drive The Car
For Some Burgers

With The Fellows In It?

No, Dad.

I Have Never
Driven Your Car.

Okay.
Thank You.

Except Once.

When Was That?

The Night I Drove Denise
Down To Tommy Watkins' House.

Gotcha, Dad.

Oh, Mom.

I Can't Believe
I Was Ever This Small.

I Remember The Day
I Put That On You.

You Hated It.

You Cried And
Chewed At The Sleeve.

Why Did You Make Me Wear It?

It Was Cold Outside

And You Looked
So Adorable In It.

Hey.

Look, Dad.

Cliff.

Come On, Cliff.
That's Sondra's Baby Sweater.

Her Sweater.

Thank You.

Can I Take This
Back To School

And Hang It
On My Wall?

If You Don't
Chew On The Sleeves.

I Promise.

Cliff?

Come Here.

Oh, No, Not Another
Quiz, Dear. Please.

I Found
Something

And I Want To See
If You Remember.

Go Ahead.
Just Start Choking Me.

What?

I Know Exactly What It Is.

You Used To Wear This

Every Time
You Sang In The Church Choir.

Cliff.

I'll
Bet You.

It Is!

And You Also Wore This
At The Church Choir Picnic-

The Church Choir Picnic
That You And I Drove Down To

When We Were Very Teenagery...

And The Church Picnic
That We Never Went Went To-

That We Drove Right On Past

And Went
To The River

And We Had
A Wonderful Picnic

And We Hugged

And Necked...

Yeah...

Never Did Make It
To The Choir Picnic.

That's Right,
Because You Were Fresh.

That's
Right.

Did You Ever Tell Your Parents?

No, Indeed.

Did You Tell Yours?

Oh, No.

No Need To Tell Them That.

But In Light Of What We
Just Told Our Children

I Think That We Should
Call Our Parents

And Tell Them What We Did.

I'm Not Telling Them.
That Was Long Ago.

That Doesn't Matter.

We Should Call
And Tell Them What We Did

And I Think That You
Should Go First.

You've Got To Be Kidding Me.

You're The One
Who Made This Up.

You Call Your Folks.

You Should Go First
Because You Drove.

You Rode In The Car.

You Talked Me Into It.

No.

Call Your Mother
And Tell Her What We Did.

Call My Mother?

Yes.

I Don't Believe
I'm Doing This.

You'll Feel Better Afterwards.

I Will?

Hello, Mom.

Hi.

This Is Cliff.

Yeah, How Are You Feeling?

Listen, Mom, You Remember
Long, Long Time Ago?

Yeah, The...

Now, Think Back
To The Church Choir Picnic.

Well, I Want To Tell You

That Clair And I Never Went
To That Picnic.

We Drove On Past

And We Parked
Down By The River, Mom

And We Laid Out Some Food

And Then We, Uh...

We Ate...

And Then We Kissed And Necked.

Wait A Minute, Mom.

That Was A Long Time Ago.

How Can You Get Angry
About That?

We Got Married
And Everything.

Tell You What?

Just A Minute.

Your Mother
Wants To Talk To You.
