About time you guys got back.

Well, when we take your brother to visit
colleges, it's important that we get a

complete picture of what each school has
to offer.

And this one had a bar nearby that
offered dollar pictures and free hot

Good school.

You guys didn't even go on the tour.

Oh, you know, it just looked like a lot
of walking, and at that point, we

couldn't.

Did you bring me anything?

Yes. A new doll glass for your
collection.

Cool.

You don't see anything wrong with that?

Oh, you're right. Rinse it out, honey!

And we didn't forget about you, Lauren.

We bought you a cinnamon bun.

And then we did forget about you and we
ate it, so could you toss that for me?

You know, you guys don't have to go with
me on every college tour.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's our
responsibility to see these colleges

this weekend I can go with Hakeem and
his parents to Ball State.

I'm sorry, what's the name of that
college again? Ball State.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll definitely
take you to, uh... What is it again?

Ball State.

Which school?

Ball State.

What's that? For God's sake, Brian, just
go!

Hey, Lauren, you going to the movies?

No. Then why are you picking your seat?

of that rash?

Yeah, and none of the stuff that you
gave me helped.

All right, you know what? Tomorrow we'll
call Dr. Kevin and make an appointment.

Why do I still have to see Dr. Kevin?
I'm 15 years old. I'd like a doctor with

last name.

Becca goes to a doctor who specializes
in adolescence.

Let me know when he comes up with a cure
for it.

Please?

Okay, you're right. You know what?

You are too old for a pediatrician.

My daughter's becoming a woman.

I just hope someday you could be a role
model for your daughter.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go
take a shower.

I'm still a little sticky from doing all
those belly shots.

I

can't

believe these brochures.

Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, unprotected
sex.

Sounds like the night we made Brian.

Why does it hurt when I pee?

Please tell me you're reading a
pamphlet.

Uh, okay.

Hey, sweetie, how'd it go?

Fine. Lauren, I'm going to talk to your
parents for a moment.

Okay. Don't worry, honey, we'll get to
the bottom of your bottom.

We'll be right up when we're done
talking to Ophelia.

Who? You're a doctor. I feel you, Tush.

Dad! Well, first off, I don't think the
rash is anything serious. Oh, so you

find it funny, too.

I didn't discuss this with Lauren, but
sometimes a rash like this can be

symptomatic of bigger problems.

Bigger problems?

Yes. Based on my conversation with
Lauren, I think she may have some

issues that could benefit from therapy
and possibly medication.

Emotional issues? Like what?

Well, she has anxiety about schoolwork,
anger toward her siblings. She resents

authority. Oh.

So what you're saying is she's a
teenager.

Her brother's got a bad case of that,
too.

I think there might be a little bit more
to it than that. I, um, think she's

depressed. Of course she's depressed.
She's got a crusty rash on her butt.

There's nothing wrong with Lauren.

Sure, she can get moody and angry and
stomp around sometimes, but then the

doesn't fall too far from the... There
may be no cause for concern, but just in

case, I'm giving you the number of a
psychiatrist.

Well, Doctor, we appreciate your
concern, but we know our daughter better

you do. With all due respect, I think
you're way off on this.

See, this is what I was talking about.
The apple, the tree.

The tree, in this case, representing a
person.

Bill, the tree can hear you.

You know what, Bill? I've been thinking.
What if there is something to what this

doctor said?

If you ask me, these doctors are a
little too drug -happy.

I've gone my whole life without any mood
-altering medication.

Oh, my...

Hang on, honey. We just walked in the
door, remember?

Daddy's not really home until right
here.

Oh, yeah.

Think about it, Bill. She has been
giving us a lot of attitude lately.

that's a symptom of something.

Nobody in this house needs a
psychiatrist.

Hey! Nobody who lives in this house.

Who needs a psychiatrist?

Well, Lauren's doctor thought that she
might be a little depressed.

Depression?

What are you going to do?

Well, we'll keep an eye on her, and I'm
sure if we see something wrong, we'll

pick up on it. I don't know. Judy, you
haven't always been the best judge of

noticing when someone close to you is
crying out for help.

Like who?

Hmm. Gosh, someone you lived with?
Someone who once spent weeks in her

Someone who once wrote a poem that
started, I'm all alone on an empty seat.

Was there ever a soul so sad?

It's me.

Mom? Me?

As was everyone whose lives you touched.

I'm just saying there are certain
warning signs you guys might have

Like what?

Well, have you noticed any changes in
her grades?

She changed that C -minus to a C -plus,
but we caught her.

Her grades have been slipping lately,
but she loves her art class.

Mm -hmm. Does her sketch pad?

Yeah, why?

Well, have you actually looked at these
drawings? Some of them are pretty

upsetting.

You're right.

She's awful.

According to my psych class, when a
child draws a figure without hands, it

indicates a feeling of helplessness.

Really? Bill.

Maybe she just can't draw hands.

You ever think of that?

Oh, I'm sorry. The offering college
course is in the toilet department?

Fine, fine. We'll keep an eye on her,
see if she seems depressed.

What? Do I have something on me? No, no.
You look great. Beautiful, honey.

Wonderful. Very pretty. And you're
developing just fine.

You're getting a nice little shape on
you.

Can we just not talk about this now?

Sure, but we want you to know that if
there's anything you ever want to talk

about, we are there for you. That's
right. We're your family. You can talk

any time.

Unless the TV's on, then we talk during
commercials.

We're trying to say honey.

You're not alone on that empty seat.

There's someone there.

And her name is me.

Thanks. Once again, nice shape.

Can we please just not talk about my
shape?

Todd, what's wrong with those three?

I'm guessing too much drinking and not
enough thinking.

You know, it's really weird. They're
being really nice to me. It's creepy.

Oh, yeah, they think you're depressed.

What? Yeah, I heard them talking about
it.

So, uh, can I have your stereo when they
put you away?

Hey, they think I'm mental?

Those freaks?

Yeah, you should see them at a college
bar where beer's caught the nickel.

I'm gonna go tell them I'm fine and to
leave me alone.

Hold on, hold on.

What? You know, if we play this right,
maybe there's a way we can both get

something out of this.

What are you talking about?

Well, I have an idea, but for this to
work, Mom and Dad would have to be

brain -dead.

I could hurt the shot.

Daddy, there's a bumblebee in my room.
Could you... Ah, ah, ah, ah.

What do we know about Daddy's coffee,
honey?

Not awake until right... there.

That's my girl.

All right, then. See you.

Hey, hey, hey. Where are you going with
that stuff?

Well, it... You know what? Never mind. I
shouldn't even tell you. Tell us what?

Well, I'm taking it up to Lauren. She
doesn't want to come out of her room.

Bill, did you hear that?

He's taking this food up to Lauren's
room.

Good. While you're up there, could you
kill that bee?

Why doesn't she want to come out of her
room?

I don't know.

She's been acting really weird lately.

Like she's depressed or something.

You know, to be honest, I'm kind of
worried about all of us going out of

this weekend, but this college trip's
important, too.

What college would that be again? You
know.

Anyway, just don't tell her I said
anything.

All right, Bill, this is getting crazy.

Lauren, can you come down here?

What are you doing?

I'm going to sit Lauren down on the
couch and ask her if she's depressed.

have to be sensitive about throwing
around words like that.

The minute you put a label on something
like this, it can make a person feel

much worse.

That's what happened to my cousin, Larry
the Nut.

We're calling that shrink.

No, we're not doing that. Just let me
take the lead on this.

Did someone call me?

Would you come down here, please?

I guess.

You seem a little down.

No, I'm all right.

Why aren't you dressed yet?

Why bother?

I feel like a big lump.

No, you're a very pretty young girl.

Dad, how can you say that? When
everywhere I look, girls are a hundred

prettier than I am.

Just like... I don't know, for
instance...

The girl from the clothing catalog that
is laying right here.

You're every bit as pretty as they are.

I could never look like that.

Of course, a lot of it does have to do
with the clothes.

Well, we can buy you some new clothes.

What? Really, Bill?

Hey, hey, hey. If it makes my little
girl feel better, that's what we're

Lauren, do you think it's going to make
you feel better buying new clothes?

I think so.

We'll do it this weekend.

I thought you guys were going on another
college trip this weekend.

Well, we were, but this is more
important. We're just going to have to

Brian that he has to go alone this
weekend. What? Did someone mention my

Brian, I'm sorry. We can't go with you
to visit the college this weekend.

Oh, that's too bad.

I'll bring you guys back a chocolate.

Make sure it says Ball State.

Did you have fun at the mall, honey?

Yeah, I'm feeling a little better.

Of course you are, because Daddy knows
how to make your blues disappear.

Along with most of our green.

Oh, I'll get it.

Hello? Hey, it's me.

Oh, hi, Becca.

So are Mom and Duh still buying the act?

Yeah, you know, I don't know, Becca. I'm
not sure I'm up for it tonight.

Okay, well, have fun at Becca's. Hakimi
and I are signed up for the faculty tea.

Well, you girls have fun, okay?

Very funny.

All right.

Bye.

What was that?

Well, Becca wanted me to come over and
hang out, but I'm not sure I'm up for it

tonight. You should go. I think it would
be good for you to hang out with your

girlfriends tonight.

Well, you know, it might go late, and I
have my curfew.

Forget about the curfew. Just go.

Until midnight, not a minute after.

Because then maybe I'll go.

It might be fun.

I think she's feeling better.

You were right. All she needed was a
little cheering up. Hey, we're home.

Hey, you two. How was the zoo?

It was so much fun. We saw birds and
monkeys.

And we saw two hippos. One of them is
climbing on top of the other one.

To give her a back rub.

Beautiful, if somewhat violent, back
rub.

You guys did a lot of shopping. Oh, we
took Lauren to get some more clothes at

the mall.

Oh, for Becca's party?

Party? Becca's not having a party.

Yes, she is. Her mom went out of town,
so she's having a pool party with boys.

What? She didn't say anything about a
party. She said you would let her go

because you think she's sad.

Oh, my God.

Bill, do you think she's been... Giving
us the old back rub?

That little snake? There's absolutely
nothing wrong with her.

Okay. Okay, now you're just jumping to
conclusions.

I mean, there's still this drawing.

This points to a very disturbed child.

Hey, that's mine.

No, honey, that's Lauren's sketch pad.

She gave it to me.

Wait, you drew these pictures, Tina?

Yes.

Well, we noticed, honey, how none of
these sweet little girls have hands.

Is that because you're feeling insecure
and powerless?

No, it's because I can't draw hands.

Really? What a simple and logical
explanation.

So great that you get to have these
parties, Becca. Yeah, I'm so lucky. My

having an affair with her boss, and
she's never here. It rocks.

Lauren, your mom just walked in.

Yeah, real funny, Becca.

I'm not kidding.

Honey!

Lauren!

Guess what?

When I got here, this whole thing turned
into a pool party. Oh, man.

Well, I just came to check on you
because you seemed a tiny little bit sad

you left.

No, I'm fine. So you can go.

Oh, really?

Oh, but you know what? You forgot your
butt cream.

Becca, can we put Lauren's butt cream in
the cooler? Because really, you have to

refrigerate the butt cream.

Mom, would you stop saying butt cream,
please? Oh, you know what?

I could just hold this towel up in front
of you, and you could put the butt

cream on right now.

Nobody looking boring!

Although she does have a nice little
shape on her.

Okay, you know what? I get it. All
right? I lied to you. I'm busted.

But if you want to punish me, let's go
home and get it over with. No!

Not until you smile first. You were so
depressed.

You know what's fun?

Dancing. Who here knows a chicken dance?

Da -da -da!

Well, I'm glad you finally told me the
truth.

Now, can we please get out of here
before this gets any worse?

Fine, I'll find your father.

Dad's here?

Hey, Lauren.

Attention, teenagers.

There is a severe tidal wave alert for
the following candidates.

This one.

That was one crazy pool party.

You know, Lauren, a lot of what we did
tonight was meant to embarrass you.

My trunk's slipping off, total accident.

Well, you have a nice little shape on
you too, honey.

Thanks. See, I don't mind hearing that.

I can't believe you would put us through
all that.

Look, I told you, it was Brian's idea,
okay? Yeah, we'll deal with Brian later.

Do you have any idea how worried we were
about you?

I said I'm sorry, okay?

Just get upstairs, and you're returning
all the stuff we bought you. Fine. I

don't care.

It doesn't matter. It won't fix
anything.

I'm still me.

And I'm still not buying it, which is
the only thing I haven't bought today.

Hang on, Bill. What do you mean by I'm
still me?

Nothing, okay? I'm going to bed. Lauren,
come here.

Come here.

Okay, before you started scamming us,
your doctor...

Thought that you might be a little bit
depressed.

Are you?

No.

God.

I don't know. I mean, can we just not
talk about this? No, we have to talk

this. There's nothing to talk about.

It's just I hate everything in my life,
okay?

I hate the way I look. I hate school.
That is not true. You love your art

I quit my art class.

But you worked so hard to get into it.
You were so excited about it. Yes.

I suck at dance. I suck at everything I
do, okay? So can we just not talk about

this? Can't you just leave me alone?

Well, if you don't want to talk to us,
maybe you want to talk to somebody else

about it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

There's only one person my little girl
needs to talk to to feel better, and

that's her daddy.

Listen, honey, whenever I'm feeling
blue, I give myself a little pep talk.

The way I see it is, you're only as
happy as you set your mind to be. So,

try to be happier.

Okay?

Who's hungry?

How am I just supposed to be happier?

Uh, easy.

When life gives you lemons, make
lemonade.

What does that mean?

It means if something bad happens, turn
it around. Make it a good thing. Well,

how do you do that?

By not being so sad and stuff.

But what if that's the way you feel? I
mean, how do you change what you feel?

By making lemonade. Am I not being
clear?

Okay, you know what, Bill? We need to
call that doctor. No, I told you. I'm

having my little girl be embarrassed by
going to a therapist.

Actually, um, that's not all that
embarrassing.

I mean, some of my friends go to
therapists.

Really? Yeah.

But you'd be telling your problems to a
stranger.

No offense, but...

I think I'd rather take my chances with
a stranger.

All right, you know what?

We'll call the doctor tomorrow.

Thanks, Mom. Oh, sweet girl.

Therapist, wow.

Oh, don't worry, Bill. She'll be all
right. We're doing the right thing.

I don't know. It just seems like...

Sending her to therapy is like admitting
we messed her up.

Bill, you just did a cannonball at her
friend's pool party.

I think we messed her up a little bit.

I know. It's just the admitting I don't
like.

This whole thing with Lauren has been a
huge wake -up call. Absolutely. We have

to make sure we give all our kids the
attention they need.

Tina, how are you? Yeah, how was school
today?

You know I'm not home until right here.
