Right, left. Right, left.

Eight more. Right, left.

Seven, left.

Six, left. Right, left.

Four, left. Three, left. Keep going.

Two, left. And last time, left.

- Now sit up just a little more. -

Hands behind your head.

Exhale and bring the right elbow to the left knee.

Inhale. Straighten.

Exhale. Left elbow to right knee.

Inhale. Straighten.

Right, up. Left, up. Right, up.

Never in the history of the world has there been a boy as slow as you are.

Now, come on, Brad, move your dead ass. Let's go.

I don't feel like it.

Go ahead without me.

I'm not going without you. Come on, let's go. Get your bike.

I...

Brad, you're gonna be a terrific rider. You just gotta wake up.

Get your bike, and let's go.

I just don't feel like it. Not today.

You always say you just don't feel like it.

Then when you get out there, you have a terrific time. Come on.

- Not always. - Brad.

Left, up.

Right, up. Left, up.

- Right, up. Left... -

Hi, Bob.

- All right now, huh? Yeah. - Yeah.

- I just gotta wake up. - You just gotta wake up.

- Think you'll be able to keep up? - I might.

Sure, you will.

You wait and see, you'll turn around a couple years,

I won't even be able to keep up with you. You'll be blowing right by me.

But I'll still be able to beat your brother.

...nine, ten, eleven, twelve...

- - ...nineteen, twenty.

We're gonna be going up that hill.

- Right? - Right.

Charging up that hill.

Let's do it!

Come on, you're doing great.

Come on.

You can do it!

- - You can do it!

Come on.

- You can do it. -

Come on.

Come on, pump!

You can do it.

Come on.

Morning, Henry.

I'm gonna get started. I'll see you back there.

Hi, Mr. Abhart.

Mary Liz.

Mary Elizabeth.

- Speak to me. - Mom, I'm not hungry,

and I don't have the time to eat.

- Breakfast, now. -

- What goes on here? - I'm coming, Mom.

Yes, I can see that.

- Here. Here. Here. - I hate them.

Those are your favorite pants.

That's your sweater that your grandmother sent you from Chicago.

- What... what is all this? - Some stuff.

Some dirty stuff.

- Oh, Scottie. - Don't open that!

Why not?

- There's treasure in there. - Oh. Excuse me.

Listen, young man. I'm gonna count to five.

- You better get dressed. - No.

One, two.

Three, four, five.

There's rehearsal today.

- Hi, Tom. - What do you say, Lar?

Love the robe, Cynthia.

- Good ride? - Not so good.

- Make the hill? - Dad did.

Mary Liz, come on.

Scottie, stop fooling around.

What time is it?

Oh, that can't be right. I'm late. Why didn't anybody call me?

- - Where's Daddy?

- You must eat something. Come on. - Give me a break, Mother.

Oh, Scottie!

Oh!

- Eighteen minutes flat, Mike. - Is that good?

That's fantastic.

It's 30 seconds better than my best time. What do you say, Hiroshi?

Hiroshi, Tom can't go fishing now. He has to go to work.

Some other time, huh, pal?

- Okay. - How about Sunday?

- Yeah. - Catch a fish as big as your old man.

- This big? - Bigger.

- Bigger. - Bigger.

This big!

- That's a minnow. - Tom. Tom.

It's all right, Mike. I don't mind. Hell, he gets along great with my kids.

- I'll see you Sunday, huh, Hiroshi? - Yeah.

All right. See you later. Take care, Mike.

- See you tomorrow. - See you... this morning.

Come on, kids, you're gonna be late.

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye-bye. Have a good day.

- -

- Bye, Daddy. - Hey, don't I get a kiss?

Yes.

- - I made it in 18 minutes.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Bye. - Hey, we'll do it again in the morning.

- You'll do better. - Yeah.

Come on, let's get going.

I made it in 18 minutes.

- You smell. -

I smell? That stinks.

- Thanks for telling me. - Eighteen minutes.

Well, that's great. How about... Where did you go?

Shower, shave and clean up. Remember, I smell.

- How about a little help? - No.

- No time. I'll do it tonight, leave it. - They come this morning.

Come on, sweetie pie, let's go.

Where's the toilet paper? I couldn't find any.

Have you seen my keys?

I can't see anything. Have you seen my wallet?

Where's Scottie? Scott!

- Where's my breakfast? - Try your other pants.

Right over here, on the table.

- Boo! I'm a rat from Europe. - A what from where?

You are not a rat, Scottie.

- I wanna be a rat. - Looks like a rat to me.

No, he's a child.

I don't know about that, except for this banana.

Well, in the school play.

- A child, a very important part. - I'd rather be the rat.

Does that mean I can be a rat?

- Thanks a lot, pal. - It's only a school play.

- Yes, one I happen to be the director of. - An act of suicide, if I ever saw.

- What's suicide? - Tom!

- I didn't say anything. - You certainly did.

- Stop, you're making my ears hurt. - I gotta go.

- What about breakfast? - Don't waste it.

Give us a kiss, rat.

Mommy.

My God, look at the size of that dandruff, huh?

Here's a kiss. Bye, rat.

Bye, Madam Director.

Ah, my wallet.

Tom?

Did you hear that? Was that Scottie?

Go to sleep.

We have to talk.

Some other time.

- There is no other time. - Go to sleep.

I'm serious.

So am I. Turn off the light.

This is the only time we have time.

What are we gonna get Brad for his birthday?

He wants that computer game.

Get him a good bike. Lygee.

A solid Peugeot.

Get him out of toys and into the real world.

- That's what he needs. - Mm. That's what you think he needs.

Why are we talking about this?

Brad's birthday is two months away. Why are we talking?

Go to sleep. Turn out the light.

Ronnie Peebler didn't register for the draft. He's been indicted.

I don't know what's gonna happen.

- Brad will be 18 in... - Carol.

What?

In five years and two months.

Then wake me. Now?

- Go to sleep? - Yes.

- Now what are you doing? - Looking for my journal.

Carol, it's the middle of the night.

So what?

There isn't anything in that journal.

Well, I'm gonna start right now.

I've heard that before.

Sometimes you're such a...

I've heard that before.

Okay.

Talk to me.

I've heard that before. I've tried that before.

What are you doing? Get out of there.

Get out of there.

- Get out of where? - Cut it out.

Give you something to write in your journal.

- Okay, you asked for it. -

Mm.

- - This is from...

Mm.
