Get a speeding ticket? 33 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,540 All right, let's cut the tap dance, Mike. Dad, Dad, Dad. 34 00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:29,730 All right, now, look, I was at college, right? And me and a couple of the guys 35 00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:34,450 were hanging out at Landon Lair discussing philosophy and junk like that 36 00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:38,430 somebody mentioned that they got the first decent snow at Lake Placid. So 37 00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:41,470 I didn't have an afternoon class, we decided... You have sociology on 38 00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:44,190 Wednesdays. No, no, no, I dropped that doofus class weeks ago. 39 00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:49,360 So anyway... I'm on my way up the lift for the last run of the day before we 40 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,380 head home when, boom, this whole snowbank just falls right on the tow 41 00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:57,260 it stops us dead halfway up the mountain. So there I am, stranded, 42 00:01:57,260 --> 00:01:59,580 very real possibility of freezing to death. 43 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,100 You dropped sociology. 44 00:02:03,820 --> 00:02:07,520 Yeah, so... And you think that now that you're in college you can just do 45 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,139 whatever you like, come and go whenever you want, no questions asked? 46 00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:11,940 Pretty much, yeah. 47 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,280 How do you expect to be awake for economics in five hours? 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,380 I did, I did. I am not nearly as irresponsible as you think. 49 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:22,820 It just so happens that I've dropped that class, too. 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,680 So anyway. So you dropped two classes without even telling us. 51 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Mom, it's not like I'm keeping it from you. 52 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,580 I mean, hey, college doesn't mind if I drop a class here or there. 53 00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,200 Heck, I even got a professor who told me that if I don't care about his class, 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,400 don't come. 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,680 I'm what? 56 00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:48,480 Grounded.
