1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,080 Unfortunately, yours is one of them. 2 00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:03,880 Just admitting that helps. 3 00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:09,380 But admitting it isn't enough. You have to take action. And more than that, you 4 00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:11,860 have to take the right action. And then you have to continue to take the right 5 00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:12,860 action. 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,640 How do you know if it's the right action? 7 00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:15,980 It works. 8 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,240 And if it doesn't work, you try again. 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,898 And again. 10 00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,420 Because... Look, no matter how much experience you have as a parent, no 11 00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,940 what all the books say, no matter what all the experts say, sometimes in spite 12 00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:31,460 of all your informed decisions, in spite of all your best efforts and all your 13 00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:36,380 love and support, that kid that you love will still continue down the very path 14 00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,400 that you know is leading to trouble. 15 00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:42,500 Because that kid is a person, and every person has a certain amount of free 16 00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,500 will. 17 00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:49,440 Are you saying it's my job to straighten this kid out? 18 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,620 Or are you saying it's her job to be responsible for herself? 19 00:00:57,340 --> 00:01:02,220 What I'm saying is, you have to quit talking to yourself and go home and have 20 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:03,220 dinner. 21 00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:25,850 When I see their happy faces smiling back at me, seven 22 00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:31,970 heavens, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of family. 23 00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:39,510 Where can you go when the world don't treat 24 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:42,970 you right? The answer is home. 25 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:51,240 one place that you'll find seven seven 26 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,560 seven seven seven seven 27 00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:42,710 What's for dinner? Oh, just another chicken. 28 00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:44,410 Is that okay? 29 00:02:44,450 --> 00:02:46,510 Oh, just another chicken is perfect. 30 00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:49,570 Are you still depressed about Mary? 31 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:52,150 Yes, I am. 32 00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:58,330 And if I don't figure out where Mary got the money to pay her bills, I'm going 33 00:02:58,330 --> 00:02:59,149 to stay depressed. 34 00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:02,970 I know. The more I cleaned today, the nuttier I got. I thought by now the 35 00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:06,810 of Mary's money would be revealed, so I just kept trying to let it go until that 36 00:03:06,810 --> 00:03:07,810 revelation. 37 00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:10,210 Unfortunately, the more I tried, the nuttier I got. 38 00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:17,760 I can't let it go. Neither can I. I have a feeling that wherever that money came 39 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,100 from will give us some huge insight about Mary. 40 00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:27,980 Or I hope that. But I hope I'm not just hoping against all hope. 41 00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,080 I don't even know when all of this started. 42 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:32,820 What's worrying me is where it's all going to end. 43 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,180 And yet, I'm tired of worrying. I'm tired of being nuts. 44 00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:39,860 I'm tired of being depressed. 45 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:43,930 We should lift our moods up, both of us. 46 00:03:44,350 --> 00:03:47,530 Why don't I call the Hamiltons and ask them over for, you know, coffee and 47 00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:49,890 dessert?

Simon. 565 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,440 Would you go upstairs with Ruthie? 566 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,600 I can't take much more of it. 567 00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:05,960 Yeah, that's exactly how your father and I feel. 568 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,200 Look, I get it, all right? 569 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:08,920 I'll do better. 570 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,780 No, Mary, I don't think you do get it. 571 00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:14,940 See, that was the portion of the program I would rate G for general audiences. 572 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,440 Now we're moving on to the adult stuff that your mother and I wanted to talk 573 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,440 about with you alone. 574 00:33:20,940 --> 00:33:22,960 I searched your room, found this. 575 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,240 Okay, so you found a joint, but it hasn't been lit. I haven't smoked any of 576 00:33:28,380 --> 00:33:30,280 But why else would you have it except to smoke it? 577 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,880 And where'd you get it? 578 00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:35,110 From Frankie and Johnny? You're not supposed to be hanging out with Frankie 579 00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:36,530 Johnny. And how long have you had it? 580 00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:39,090 Too many questions? Too fast? Can't think of a lie? 581 00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:43,730 How about Frankie must have borrowed your jacket and left it in there. But 582 00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:46,730 when? Life gets so complicated when you don't tell the truth. 583 00:33:47,030 --> 00:33:48,750 I can't believe you searched my room. 584 00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:53,990 Are you communists? I have rights, you know. I guess I just can't explain this 585 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:54,990 often enough. 586 00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:57,750 A right is something that can never be taken away from you. 587 00:33:58,090 --> 00:34:01,450 For example, you have the right to be indignant now, and I can't take that 588 00:34:01,850 --> 00:34:04,870 But privacy, well, privacy is a privilege when you live with your 589 00:34:05,150 --> 00:34:06,630 And privileges get taken away. 590 00:34:07,890 --> 00:34:09,429 Now, we knew you were headed for trouble. 591 00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:12,790 But we had no idea that you were this far down the road. 592 00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:14,270 I'm not in trouble. 593 00:34:14,870 --> 00:34:17,270 It depends on your definition of trouble, I suppose. 594 00:34:18,370 --> 00:34:22,630 When Hank and Julie told us about your babysitting fiasco, they told us you had 595 00:34:22,630 --> 00:34:25,530 your friend's baby at their house and there was a beer sitting on the table. I 596 00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:26,590 don't know. That sounds like trouble. 597 00:34:26,929 --> 00:34:28,350 I think having a joint is trouble. 598 00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:30,110 Have you tried smoking marijuana? 599 00:34:30,810 --> 00:34:33,449 Well, even if I did, what is so wrong with just experimenting? 600 00:34:33,929 --> 00:34:36,929 I mean, what's the harm in just trying it? 601 00:34:37,989 --> 00:34:39,469 Everyone is going to try it sometime. 602 00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:40,909 First of all, not everyone. 603 00:34:41,870 --> 00:34:48,449 For example, not me. And secondly, let me see if I can answer the what's the 604 00:34:48,449 --> 00:34:49,790 harm question. 605 00:34:50,650 --> 00:34:55,670 I suppose for some people, nothing ever comes to the fact that they tried 606 00:34:55,670 --> 00:34:56,670 smoking pot. 607 00:34:56,850 --> 00:34:58,810 But for other people, plenty. 608 00:34:59,290 --> 00:35:01,490 comes from the fact that they tried smoking pot. 609 00:35:02,170 --> 00:35:03,730 Lifelong illegal habit. 610 00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:08,070 The need to try other harder drugs. Addiction to those drugs. 611 00:35:08,770 --> 00:35:10,230 Arrest. Conviction. 612 00:35:10,890 --> 00:35:12,590 Jail time. Those kinds of things. 613 00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:15,690 The question really is, to which people do you belong? 614 00:35:15,970 --> 00:35:17,030 There's no way of knowing. 615 00:35:17,730 --> 00:35:24,610 But experimenting to find out... That's quite a risk, don't you think? 616 00:35:25,450 --> 00:35:26,570 I think it is. 617 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,100 especially for someone who's on probation. 618 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,420 Mary, we've given this a lot of thought. 619 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,500 We see that you don't know what to do for yourself, and we're not surprised. 620 00:35:37,020 --> 00:35:39,980 It took us a long time to come up with a plan ourselves. 621 00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:41,500 A plan? 622 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,080 I know that the colonel offered to help you, and you turned him down. We have 623 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,300 decided to accept. What are you talking about? 624 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,780 We're talking about Winter in Buffalo. That's what we're talking about. 625 00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:56,550 Your grandparents are finding that George's real father has taken up a lot 626 00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:59,850 his time and they now have enough free time to focus on you. What? 627 00:36:00,090 --> 00:36:03,290 I don't know if you've noticed lately, but you have six brothers and sisters. 628 00:36:03,970 --> 00:36:07,250 You've gotten more than our fair share of attention and energy. We have to do 629 00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:08,250 what's best for everyone. 630 00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:12,950 So what is best for everybody is to ship me off to Siberia to live with old 631 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:15,090 people? Yep, that's basically it. 632 00:36:15,810 --> 00:36:17,030 You'll live with your grandparents. 633 00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:20,590 George will move into the guest house with his dad for the time being. 634 00:36:21,310 --> 00:36:24,650 You'll work at the community center for the homeless with your first couple of 635 00:36:24,650 --> 00:36:26,230 paychecks going to Sam and David. 636 00:36:26,730 --> 00:36:30,990 Then starting in January, you and Grandma Ruth will take a course together 637 00:36:30,990 --> 00:36:32,090 the community college there. 638 00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:35,370 Okay. What are my other choices? 639 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:37,250 You don't have any other choices. 640 00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:41,950 We're taking you to the airport.
