[Doorbell chimes] Yes! Yes! I hear you!
[Gasps] May I...help you? You maxine gray? I am. Then these are for you. Uh, no. That can't possibly be true. My fianc?used to send me flowers, but he died. I haven't been nice to anyone lately. I'M... well...not this nice. Believe me. Well, there should be a card somewhere. And I'm gonna need you to sign. Uh, take them back. Excuse me? I can't accept them. Take them back. Well, are you maxine gray? Yes. We've established that. Then it's my job to see you get these. And I have just told you I can't accept them. Take them to a hospital. Give them to your girlfriend. But they--they... they can't stay here. Lady, what-- what's your problem?! This is the nicest arrangement in the truck! Those flowers... come from a man I barely know. We spent one evening together. Evidently, you made a big impression. I'll say you weren't home. That would be best. So? You told me to ask you again when you had some time. That dinner date you had with david mclaren. Oh. [Chuckles] Uh, yeah. It was fun. You...needed more time so you could say it was fun? Uh...we went to a dark italian restaurant. I had pasta. He had steak. Uh, he seemed to know his way around the wine list.
There was
light banter. There was no sudden appearance of women that he had slept with but not dated. And I didn't throw up. So that's it? Yeah, that's it. Donna, it was a lovely date. It's a little too early to be glowing. It was really just a first date. Man! Didn't even walk you to the door? Well, has he called you since then? Donna, new topic. Uh--12 o'clock. Blue suit. Hi. How are you? I'm fine. You? Good. Late. Catch you later. That was weird. What? Didn't even slow down. You heard him. He said he was late. What, like they're gonna start without him? Donna, I don't want to talk about david mclaren anymore. Change the subject. You didn't think-- donna. Presidential hopefuls. Who's your favorite? Ohhh...bruce! Bruce, you should get a new campaign manager. I didn't even know you were running. I need to go to the ladies' room. Do not... come with me. What's with her? She's gettin' the deep freeze from david mclaren. I don't think I can live through this one. Where did those come from? That is the question bedeviling the entire staff. Tell them it's none of their business! So you know who sent them. What part of "none of your business" is in any way murky to you? You'll notice there's a card. It better be sealed. Why, maxine gray, I am shocked that you would even suggest-- ok. I'm not sure how long this steam is gonna last, but-- ahem. Oh, hey...maxine. Coffee? Do we get a point for ingenuity? Go...away. All we want is a name... to make sure that he's worthy of you. For example, if it's judge wells, we don't support... away! That. Fyi, your nephew called from st. Michael'S. He's, uh, treating a 12-year-old boy with a suspicious injury. Well, that is certainly less important that the identity of my flowers sender... robert. At least your priorities are straight. That 12-year-old boy. Kyle said that he would stall the parents until you got there.
[Sighs] Man: All rise. Man: Be seated. Ok. Uh... this is a petition for the modification of a custody order for 15-year-old terry shine. Petitioner is ellen shine, terry's mother, who currentl terry for one weekend per month... and would like to add another weekend. Ok. Terry and his mother present. Who else do we have? Your honor, dodge rosen for the petitioner. Clive forsythe for bart shine, terry's father. Where is bart shine? I don't know, your honor. I--I understood that he would be here. I love this. I have to fight to see my son because I'm not dependable? Can we start with that? Mrs. Shine, we'll start by my telling you when it is your turn to speak. Your honor, may I speak? Do you have information regarding your father's whereabouts? No, ma'am, but... we don't need him. This is gonna be easy to settle.
[Chuckles] Oh. Oh, really. Really. Why is that? Because I don't want to see her any more than I already do. She drinks too much, and she always has some weirdo boyfriend, and her whole apartment smells like the cat box. Uh, ok. Well, uh, these are things that we will be discussing, but we can't do that until your father's present. I don't see why we can't just settle it here, and I can just tell him about what happened. We can't do that because I'm the judge and I don't like that idea. So we're gonna meet back here again tomorrow at what time, mr. Van exel?
[Clears throat] At 11 A.M. At 11 A.M. Mr. Forsythe? Please make sure terry's father is present because I'm only patient once. Yes, your honor. Tell me something, kyle. Yeah. Let's say that you are a doctor. I am a doctor. And--and you go out of your way to help one of your patients. I mean, really, you go the extra mile. All right. Would you then... send this patient flowers? Why would I do that? Exactly. Are you all right, aunt max? Yeah. Look, I don't know what he told you, but he wasn't there. I fell off my skateboard. No scratches on your hands,
nothing
on your elbows. The thing is, mica, when you fall off a skateboard, you break your ulna or your radius. And you broke your humerus. And that just doesn't happen when you fall off a skateboard. Well, it did this time. Are you mica's father? Yeah. And his mother? Deceased. He lives with me. Who-- I'm maxine gray with the department of children and families. I figured you'd be showin' up here sooner or later. And why did you figure that? Mica. Are you all right? Yeah. Grandma, what are you doin' here? Your father called me. What happened? He broke his arm above the elbow. We set it, and he'll be in the cast for about 6 weeks. I gotta get back to work. Mr. Benton, I'm gonna need to talk with you. He won't be goin' home with me. He's gonna be with his grandmother tonight.

[Knock on door] Hi! I thought you had to work. I traded with someone so I could come hang out with you. Look. I've got chinese food,
the matrix,
director's cut. Uh...that sounds great, but I was just on my out to meet lloyd. Oh, really. Tell me... how is anything out there possibly better than... what you have... right here? Well, it's not a question of better. It's a question of a friend of mine sitting in a sports bar waiting to meet me where I promised I would be. Come on. You know you want to stay. Yeah...I do. Um, however, my word means something to me, even if it's just my word that I will go to a sports bar for buffalo wings. Did I misunderstand our conversation? I thought we decided that we're officially a couple. Ok, look, there are varying degrees of coupledom. Ok, what degree are we? The one where I can make other plans when you and i have made no arrangement to see each other. Meaning we'll see each other when you feel like it? That's not what I said. Look, why don't you come with me? I just traded 2 weekends to get out of a bar for the night. Well, you should've called me before you did that! I was trying to surprise you. I'm not good with surprises. Yeah, I notice! Have fun with lloyd!
[Sighs] I don't know why you need to talk to me. I told you before--do whatever you have to do. What I have to do is to find out what happened to mica.
[Sighs] I threw him across the room. Why? I don't know. Somethin' snapped. I think... it started with... it started with his homework. He didn't do it the night before school, so I fell on his case to do it before the bus came. And this kid... he hit puberty, and it's like he's got this attitude a mile wide. He says to me, you know, "back off." I tell him, "I don't have to listen to that anymore," and he says, "get the f out of my face," and... you lost your temper. Yeah, and then some. Has that happened before? Look, I don't need you... to analyze it. Just find him a place to live. I thought he was with his grandmother. Look, that's gonna be fine for about a week or so, but she has high blood pressure, so that's not a good longtime plan. Well, I...I shouldn't have any trouble finding a foster family for him on a temporary basis. No. I mean... it shouldn't be temporary. You find him another home-- a good one. Do you realize what you're asking? It was just an arm this time. The next time, it could be a whole lot worse. I gotta get back to work. You find my son a home.
I suppose the good news
is that now we have
mr. Shine. Counsel. Where's your client?
[Clears throat] I'm not sure what to say, your honor. I've tried all her numbers. I don't know what else to do. If I may, your honor... my client has just agreed not to contest the petition. In light of this, I think maybe we can get this thing done without a hearing. Is that true, mr. Shine? You're willing to modify the custody order per your ex-wife's proposal? Uh, yes, ma'am.
[Softly] Your honor. Your honor. Uh...well, I-- I admit it's tempting, given the difficulty we're having getting all the parties together. But you've piqued my interest, and I would like to hear from everyone involved. Terry, I was under the impression that you didn't like your mother's custody proposal. W-whatever. You know. I'm-- I'm cool with it. You weren't cool with it yesterday. Yeahbut I talked to my dad, and I got cool with it. Your honor... everyone on this side of the fence is cool with it. Well, now you all need to make me cool with it. And that's not gonna happen until all the parties are present. Mr. Van exel, when shall we try again? 3:30. Tomorrow at 3:30, and, attorneys, I have lost my sense of humor about the disappearing acts. Uncle peter. Over here. So, what do you say? Want me to mess around with your head when I'm done with your niece?
[Chuckles] You know, uh, I appreciate the offer, but, um... I'm good. Well. That's a matter of opinion. Shelby, tell him about your band. Shelby's in a band. Really. Uncle peter used to be in a band. Oh, yeah? Where'd you play? Oh, in my best friend's garage. When I was in high school, needless to say, a long, long, long time ago. But he still plays. What do you have? Uh, an old martin 6-string and an even older fender precision. You're kidding. You play bass? I'm looking for a bass player.
[Chuckles] Oh, I'm not a bass player. I'm a former bass player. No, you're not. You know--why don't you come by our rehearsal studio when we're there? You might be the answer to my current biggest problem.
[Chuckles] No. I'm not. I haven't played in front of people in decades. Just give me a call. We'll figure out when you can come in. You know, you're not hearing me. I-- I can't try out for your band. I sell insurance.
And I cut hair. What does that have to do with anything? Come on, uncle peter. It would be so cool. Are you always this relentless? No. I just have a feeling about you. You sure it's not, uh...indigestion?
[Both laugh]
[Chuckles] So...lauren... same old thing? Yeah.
[Door opens] Judge gray, you're not reading motions. I'm thinkin' about reading. You don't have time to think about anything. Hey, bruce, keep-- ok, stop. I lived through your divorce... karate rob... both versions of stu collins.. the lawyer who went back to his wife... judge crumble, and now you want me to... explain david david mclaren. That's not what I was gonna ask you. I'm gonna give you the same speech I gave donna. Whatever happens or doesn't happen between you and david mclaren... I just want to be left out of it. Including post-date analysis. Are you angry with me? No. You sound angry. Is it because you think it's too soon after stu? Because I--I do, too. And that's why I'M... you're not admitting that it's happening? You are angry with me. I'm not. I'm not. And--and I'm not judging you. I just... I just think timing is god's business.
[Chuckles] And I want to sit this one out. Ok? And you have no good reason. I just want to be out of it, that's all. Simple request. I told you it wasn't my dad's fault. I spoke to your father, mica. He told me what really happened. So am I in trouble? No. No, you were trying to protect your father. But I need to know if he's ever hurt you bef-- why would you be in trouble, mica? No, you said my dad told you.
Yes. And now I'm here
to listen to what
you have to say. It was stupid. We got into it in the kitchen. About homework. I tried to get out the door, and he blocked me. So then we started yellin' and swearin' at each other. And is that when he hit you? No. He... he was readin' me hard the way he does... mad, like he's holdin' it in. He does that all the time. Except this time, I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I hit him. Next thing I know, I'm slidin' down a wall. You hit your father first? Yeah, 'cause I was tired of waitin'. Waiting? I was tired of waitin' for one of us to go nuclear. All the men in our family end up there. Who told you that? Well, what difference does it make? It was gonna happen, so I just... I can't miss my bus. I gotta go. Mica, contrary to what everybody says, violence is not part of dna. It's a choice. Hey, I'm home. Sorry I'm late. I hope you guys didn'T... wait for-- what's going on? Did peter cook again? Don't get upset. Why would I get upset? Have some wine. I don't want any wine. Have some wine. Hey, lauren. How--how'd your, uh... how'd your haircut go? It was fine. What's with the hood? My head's cold. Lauren, what did you do? Please don't tell me it's pink.
[Sighs] I think it looks good.
Don't you think
it looks good? I think it looks great! Sweetie, what did you do? I knew it. I knew you were gonna throw a fit! I'm not throwin' a fit. I'm askin' you a question, lauren. Leave me alone! Uh...why is this my fault? She knew you'd be made at her. I'm not mad at her. I'm mad at you. What? You were there. How did you let it happen? I was reading a magazine. You didn't tell me I was gonna have to stand guard. You didn't look up? Amy! For god's sake, it's hair. It'll grow back. That's not the point, peter-- yes, it is! You know, you're not the only person in this house under a little stress right now. Peter. No, you're out of this, mother. Look, I'm sorry that she decided to cut her hair off, and I'm sorry your wedding blew up, and I'm--I'm--I'm-- I'm sorry you can't figure out what court you should sit in, but guess what! I'm havin' a pretty crappy time right now, too! Ok?! What just happened? Don't ask me. I'm out of this. Cfhtds?@mw texas toast made with real pepperidge farm bread.

[Sighs]
[Chuckles] Sure you don't want to sit down? Nah. You seem upset. I'm a little upset. I mean, you know, this building-- it's like a small town. What now? What happened? Well, I--I just think whatever's goin' on with you, we should discuss it, 'cause I don't want to feel uncomfortable when I run into you in the cafeteria or the hallway. I'm not sure I know what you're talkin' about. You need me to spell it out? Apparently. What's up? Um... I think you've been a little chilly to me since the other night. Amy, I've barely seen you since the other night. How can you-- ok, fine. Glad we worked it out. Hey, hey. Whoa. Amy, I haven't been chilly toward you, and...if you're talking about the other morning, I really was late, so-- we had a great time the other night. Right? Yes. We had a great time. And then you kissed me on the cheek. Why did you do that? As opposed to, uh, kissing you... elsewhere? I don't know. You just dumped a guy at the altar. Maybe I was tryin' to be a little respectful. Why is this a big deal, anyway? I guess I'm just really not in the mood for mystery right now. Then you'd better find another planet. Ok. Great. Never mind. Hey, look, I'm sorry I didn't do whatever it was you thought I should've done when we hit your stoop. What do you want from me? The truth? Does this have anything to do with your ex-wife? Oh, god. Oh, I didn't mean that. Oh, obviously, I didn't mean that. I...I...
I--I just--I... I--I--I've been wondering if you-- you've been feeling guilty, because I-- because I have. I mean, not that I can... compare my situation to yours, but I have been having these flashes of guilt because it seems a little too soon to... I am so sorry. It's ok. It's not a problem. Ok. Well, maybe we'll talk ler. Ok. Ok. I don't understand the question. Well, I'm--I'm not certain I've asked one. I'm just tryin' to understand all the circumstances. Has harry hit mica before? No. Why do you think it happened this time? What did my son tell you about our family? He didn'T. Too bad you people didn't come calling when harry was a boy. Harry was abused? Harry... his brother... all of us. Richie, his father... was famous for his temper. He was proud of it. Had this old belt with a big iron buckle on it. Kept it under the bed. For self-defense, he said. He defended himself about 4 times a week. And he used this belt on the boys. Oh, that's somethin' that he learned off his own father. Are--are you saying that...this abuse has--has happened through several generations? As far back as anybody can remember. I told mica it was just a matter of time. You told mica his father was gonna hit him? I told him that in front of harry. Every time I got a chance. Don't you think he deserved a warning? Ms. Benton, you know what a self-fulfilling prophecy is. If you're saying it's my fault, that's a load of crap.
It's the men
in this family.
They hit. That's what they do. Don't even try to be blaming it on me. Well, miraculously, everyone seems to be here. Your honor... I had a message yesterday that court was canceled. From whom? Uh, your honor, I listened to the message. It was a man's voice. He didn't identify himself. Well, ok. Ok. Well, we're all here now. So, mr. Shine-- uh, mr. Shine, why don't you remove your hat and your scarf? We may be here for a while. I don't want to get a chill, your honor. I--I got a cold. Hey. That man's not my-- mrs. Shine, you will have your chance to talk. Your honor, it's actually-- um, that man is not my ex-husband. She does this... your honor. She gets drunk and doesn't remember people. I'm not drunk! Look, could you please take off your getup so I could see if I'm right about this? I have a constitutional right to stay warm. Your honor, perhaps the alleged mr. Shine could stand up. What if I don't want to stand up? Can't we just get on with it? Mr...mr. Shine, y-- uh--are--are you in fact bart shine? Before you answer, you may want me to review the penalties for misrepresenting yourself in the nutmeg state. Massachusetts is the nutmeg state? No. Connecticut is the nutmeg state. I'm in connecticut? Your honor. Both my parents are forgetful. It's--it's genetic. Ok, ok, ok! I get it! You are trying to pull something over on me, but you're not gonna pull it off, you so might as well cough it up. Y-your honor... for the record, I am just as confused as you are. Your honor... my name is myron smith. Simpson. Kid...I'm really sorry, but it's not worth 50 bucks to me if I'm gonna end up in trouble with the law. Terry. Did you pay this man $50 to impersonate your father? Yeah, and he also gave me the suit. Terry? All right. I don't care about any stupid court case or how many times I have to see her a month. I just...didn't want things to change. What--what things?
Where's your father? I don't know. He left me a note... left me a note saying he was no good as aather, and...and he just left. W...well, when was that? Couple months ago. And how have you been getting by since then? Um, my mom gives me money when I see her, and, uh, I keep a job as a telemarketer at night. I'm--I'm really good at it.
[Chuckling] Well... well, that's not the point. You... you're not supposed to worry about how to feed yourself or keep a roof over your head. Y...what if--what if you got hurt? Or got sick? Or fell and hit your head? You don't know the answers to these questions, and you shouldn't know them. An adult should have the answers for you.
[Snickers] Uh, mr. Van exel, can you please contact, uh, D.C.F. To start an abuse- and-neglect investigation so they can file a petition for an O.T.C. On terry's behalf? What does that mean? It means I want you to go home and stay with your mom until the court can decide what's best for you. Uh... do you have any good news? Yeah. Yeah. You and myron won't be spending the night in a jail cell. Everyone here is dismissed. Uh, your honor, if I don't get the 50 bucks, can I still keep the suit? Is she comin' back?
[Rock 'n' roll music plays]
Movin' 'round
and 'round
can't I feel the heartbreak?
And I will
grow strong
like the spirit of my time
when you left me
standin' there
on that platform sayin' good-bye
things gone wrong
just wait
gonna trade in cryin'
'cause now I know
what you meant
in that song
in that song
[Plays fancy wrap-up] Ok, guys. That sounded great. Now, go home before I get in trouble with your wives.
[Chuckles] That was fun. Yeah. Uh, so, um... I guess you'll be, uh... checking out some other people and then y-you'll give me a call or somethin'? Nope. I don't understand. Well, I don't need to check on other people. I'm hiring you. Unless you don't want me to. Oh, uh... you're--you're hirin' me without listenin' to anyone else? Sounds great. I--I just, uh-- out of curiosity... how come you're not gonna listen to other bass players? Because I like you. You're sufficiently competent on the bass, and... you're kinda cute. And that's exactly what I'm lookin' for, so...
[Chuckling] Why look further?
[Chuckles] So, uh...I guess I'll, um... see you on, uh... friday? Unless...you decide not to. Oh. [Chuckles] No. That's not gonna happen. Good. Welcome.
[Both chuckle] See ya. Go ahead.
[Rattling at door] Hi. God!
[Sighs] What are you doing? I couldn't-- I couldn't decide whether I should leave a note or just knock. Why was it necessary to do either? Last time I ecked, my phone is still working. I know! I know. Didn't we just have a conversation about you dropping in on me? I'm sorry, kyle. I just needed to talk to you. Why?! What is so important that you have to lurk in my hallway? Can you explain that, please? Because it's becoming very annoying and weird! No! No! No! It's not! Yes! Yes, it is! Don't you listen?! What is the matter with you?! Wha...
[Chuckles incredulously] I'm pregnant!
[Tearfully] This isn't the way that I wanted to tell you. Are you su... are you sure? I have a medical degree, kyle. Look, I don't want anything from you. I just wanted you to know. Sorry to ruin your day.

if you haven't looked at
ford lately, look again - so you're telling us, miss-- - susie. Miss susie. That you found a way... to get the world in better shape? No... give it a better shape.
- Yeah. Chex. - They're square. And they have a three-d shape. The milk goes right through. - So they stay crunchy.
- [ Crowd excitement ]
Who in the world
wants soggy cereal? - Ugh! - He's got a point.
- So even though
they are low in sugar-- - they taste good.
[ Male announcer ] World opinion is being shaped... and the shape is crunchier! Chex. Where great taste takes shape. - What do these guys do again? - I don't know. You ready-- lauren, I don't hate your hair. I just... needed time to get used to it. I think it's cute. Really. You're just saying that. No, I'm not. I'm maxine gray's daughter. If I hated it, I'd tell ya. Ok, but...you're weird about it. Well, maybe I am a little. I think it'S... I think it's strange that you went off and did something that big behind my back. Like--like, you were sneaking around my back. Why did u think I wouldn't let you do it? I didn't know I was going to do it. Shelby said, "same old thing?" And...I said, "yeah." But...t-then I thought, why? I mean...I'm at a new school, and I've got new friends. Why not do something else new? Well, that makes sense. But you're still upset.
[Laughing and crying] I know. I don't really know why. It's just... you had your long hair forever.
[Laughing and crying] I've been a kid forever, too. Things change, mom. My professional opinion... I guess is that I... um... don't know. Mrs. Gray, you've been in this courtroom a time or two. I believe this is a first. I know it's--that this is unusual. An out-of-control dad, a boy with a broken arm. Sounds pretty textbook to me, your honor. On the surface, yes, but since we are in family court, I believe we have an obligation to... look at family history. I think the court is getting a little bit tired of the old excuse that we should pity the abusers because they, too, were abused. Ms. Pearlmutter, I'll be the judge, forgive me, of what the court is tired of hearing. Continue, mrs. Gray. The reason that we look at family history is not because it's a dandy excuse, but because on a case- by-case basis, it is just. Now--uh, sorry... your honor. Not at all. Hold that thought. Um...mr. Benton grew up in... an abusive household, being told that he himself was destined to become an abuser. Did he fulfill that destiny? Yes. He broke his son's arm. Notably: After his son attacked him. But nonetheless. After this...one violent incident... th he did not instigate... mr. Benton is considering giving up his son. That's not the behavior of any... child abuser that I have ever dealt with. Usually, they fight to keep their punching bag around. So, is he... simply... more self-aware than most? Or is he a good man...
a good father... who does not believe in his own goodness? Mr. Benton has been successfully fighting the demons that his family seems intent on passing down. This time, this one time... he failed. Maybe with some... professional support... mr. Benton could reclaim his goodness... and be the father his son needs. I believe you can. Looks like you had an opinion after all, mrs. Gray.
[Chuckles] I guess I did.
[Clears throat]
[Tapping] Come in. Hi. I, um... I spent most of the night thinking of a way I could try to explain. The day of kelly's funeral, uh... my son overheard me say to someone that I wished it had been me. That kinda freaked him out, and somewhere in the middle of that night, he made me promise to him that I'd never do anything stupid... and that I'd never leave him. And sometimes that's the only thing that gets me through a day. I'm doing the best I can, amy. And frankly, all things considered, I think I'm doing pretty well. I think so, too. So, uh... would you like to go out again? Yeah. Yeah, I would like that very much. Amy: You guys are so in love. Did you have to take a class? Bruce: Hey, I'm straight. Ok, does everybody have water or wine of something? Hey, could you turn my water into wine. That's my line. You haven't been to mass in 15 years. What's mass? It's what catholics call church so they can feel more guilty about it when they've missed it. Hey. Hey. It's my dinner party I will cast disparaging remarks if I feel like it. Ok, uh...a toast. To, um... well, to lots of things. To lauren's new hair... hear! Hear! Hey! The first of many big decisions she'll be making now that she's entering young womanhood. Mom! Well, part of young womanhood is it's your mothers job to publicly embarrass you, so suck it up and cope, like all generations before you. To peter's new gig... peter: Rock on. Apparently it's never too late to be part of a bar band. Who knew?
[Glasses clinking] Hey, there you go. There we go. Ok. Come to the mount.
[Amy laughing] To donna, who suggested dinner tonight, probably to avoid studying for the bar. Donna: You got it. And to bruce and sean for coming on such short notice. And now we know that neither one of them has a social life. Yeah. In my case, we already knew, thanks. Excuse me. For the record, I canceled something to be here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the king of cool. We get it. Ok. Uh... what else? Well, to mom and kyle, who are going to be eating cold beef burgundy-- we'll all be eating cold beef burgundy.
[All laugh] Yeah, mom, lay into the plane? Lay into the plane? Wow! Hey, how about god bless us everyone? Nice. How about, um... to goofood... good family... and good friends? Nice. Amy: Lay on that plane, baby!
[Glasses clinking]
[All talking] At gate, like 47. I would, too. I'd buy tickets. Right next to the el al bean. Peter: If you don't put the burgundy in it, you can't callt beef burgundy. Amy: What are you talking about? Peel the crust off. You wish you were eating pizza? Lauren: That's right. Better to be eating pizza. I just tell them this is stupid? Oh, they're about as silly as you. I couldn't say it. Yes, for mr. Messina. This is maxine gray. I'm calling to...
[All talking loudly] Please do whatever you'd like to do with my garden. I'm ready for things to come back to life. Amy: You know other interaction? Peter: My invitation didn't say anything about being mature. Bruce: Inside the table. That's the side you can see. Amy: Here. Oh, mom. Do we really have to eat that? Come on. It's good for you.
