The first 200 lines.
Ahh.
Are You Enjoying Your Breakfast?
Yes. Are You Enjoying Yours?
Are You Going To Drink That Orange Juice?
Yes, I Am.
I'm Saving It For Last.
I Don't Have Any Orange Juice.
You Took It All.
I Know.
That Used To Happen To Me A Lot.
Now I Wake Up Very Early.
How Would You Like To Trade
A Delicious, Thirst Quenching Slice Of Cantaloupe Melon
For That Little Shot Glass Of Orange Juice?
Two Pieces.
But Then I Won't Have Any!
That's The Deal.
You Used To Be Such A Warm Person.
You've Changed.
Take It Or Leave It.
Okay, On The Count Of Three--
One, Two, Three.
There You Go.
No Fair!
I'll Tell You Now.
All Is Fair In Love And Breakfast.
I'm Telling Mom.
Hello.
Hey.
It's Such A Beautiful Day Today.
A Beautiful Day?
Why? You're Not Going To School?
I'm Going. Why?
I've Just Never Seen You In A Mood Like This
Before Going To School.
Today Is Friday.
This Weekend I Have No Homework
Tests Or Papers Due.
It's Going To Be The Perfect Weekend.
You Know What Will Make It A Great Weekend?
We'll Get The Ladder
Go To The Roof, And Clear Those Gutters.
I Need To Relax This Weekend.
I'm Under Lots Of Pressure.
Pressure?
Our Lives Are Different.
You're A Doctor.
When You Finish Work
You Have Nothing To Think About.
But I'm In High School.
I Always Have To Think About What I'm Doing.
If I'm Not Studying For A Subject
I've Got To Think About It.
How Do You Do It?
I Don't Know
But It's Weekends Like This That Get Me Through.
Then I Guess You Better Make The Most Of It.
Oh, Dad, I Will.
Tonight's The Pep Rally, Tomorrow's The Game
And The Party At Maxine's.
Uh-Oh.
Your Grandparents Ararar Coming Over For Dinner Tonight.
I'll Be There.
I Was Just Hoping I Could Be Excused After Dinner.
Is It Okay?
Sure That's Okay.
I'm Happy You Could Fit Us
Into Your Perfect Weekend.
Thanks, Dad.
Who Took My Orange Juice?
Who Took My Orange Juice?
All's Fair In Love And Breakfast.
Do You Know Who I Am?
I Am The Man Who Loves You--
Who Works
To Buy The Orange Juice For You.
Did You Really Want It?
I Faked You Out!
Hi, Dad.
Hey, How's School?
Great. Is Mom Around?
She's In The Kitchen.
I Need To Talk To Somebody.
Vanessa.
What Am I? A Bag Of Oats?
No, But I Think I Should Talk To Mom About This.
Okay, You Might Know About This, Too.
How Were You Going To Know That I Know
If You Don't Ask Me?
You See, It's Boys.
Boys?
Boys And Girls.
You've Come To The Right Person
Because I Used To Be A Boy And Your Mother Was A Girl
And I Have Four Girls And One Boy.
What's Your Problem?
There's This Thing Next Week At School
Called The "Turn-Around Dance."
Turn-Around Dance?!
They Had Turn-Around Dances In My Day--
In The O-O-O-Old Times.
That's Where The Girls Have To Ask The Boys To The Dance.
Right.
There Are Two Guys I Want To Ask.
One Of Them I Don't Like, But He'll Say Yes.
The One I Like Will Probably Say No.
Is One Of Them Robert?
No, Dad.
Rob And I Broke Up A Long Time Ago.
First, He Went Steady With Stephanie Johnson
Then With Beth Peterson
And Now It's Amy Gordon.
Sounds Like Roberto Is Wandering Around The World
For The Rest Of His Life Searching For You.
Dad, The Guy I Want To Go Out With Is David Butler.
Ahh.
I See.
Why Do You Like Him?
He's Cute.
He's Probably Got A Great Personality...
I Hope.
I Never Really Talk To Him
But I Heard Him Say Something In Class, Dad
And He Has The Best Voice!
It Cracks.
What Did He Say?
He Stood Up In Class To Answer A Question
And He Said--
"The Suez Canal."
It Was So Adorable, And It Was The Right Answer.
Cute And Smart.
And All My Friends Say We Will Look So Good Together.
If Your Friends Say
That The Two Of You Look Cute Together
Call This Boy.
But If He Says No, I'll Feel Awful.
Suppose He Says Yes?
Let Me Put It This Way:
A Long, Long Time Ago--
And I'm Not Naming Any Names--
There Was This Cute Young Girl
And She Wanted To Ask This Fellow
But She Was Like You.
She Was Kind Of Afraid And Nervous.
And Then She Got Up Enough Courage
And She Called The Boy
And The Boy Said Yes
And They Went To The Dance
And They Are Married Today.
Is This About You And Mom?
Yes, But Don't Tell Your Mother I Said It.
Don't Tell Her.
But, Dad, I'm Not Mom.
I Don't Think I Can Do This.
You Can Always Take Me To The Dance.
I'll Call David.
Hey.
Hello.
How's Everything?
Just Fine.
Need Any Help?
I'm Almost Finished.
You Know, It's So Funny How Life Repeats Itself.
Well, I Was Sitting There Talking To Vanessa
And She Is Nervous About A Turn-Around Dance.
Oh.
So I Told Her The Story
About How You Called Me
And Asked Me To Go
To The Halloween Dance.
I What?
I Told Her How You Called And Asked Me To Go To The Dance
And How You Were Nervous.
Cliff, Why Did You Lie To Our Daughter?
I Didn't Lie.
No, I Didn't.
Let The Record Show...
Oh, Here We Go With "Let The Record Show."
Get The Story Straight.
The Truth Of The Matter Is
You Called My House While I Was At Cheerleading Practice
Because You Knew I Wasn't There.
You Had The Audacity To Ask My Mother To Tell Me
To Take You To The Dance.
You Said I Had To Hurry
Because There Were Many Girls In Line
Waiting To Ask You.
Get Out Of Here!
You Know It's True.
You Promised My Mother If I Said Yes
You Would Have Me Home By 9:30
And Mow Her Lawn And Wash All The Windows.
And I Think You'd Better
Put The Top Back On That Silver Polish.
My Mother Will Be Here This Evening
To Verify The Facts.
Okay, Good.
Good, Good.
And Then After She Does That
You'd Better Be Ready
