Oh, great. I�m getting a huge zit.

Where? I don�t see anything.

Oh, don�t pretend like you can�t see it. It�s right there.

And it�s getting bigger by the second. Please don�t make me go to school.

Okay, I get it.

Listen, I know today�s gonna be difficult.

But we have to start moving forward.

You�ve you�ve already missed two weeks of school.

We just have to start getting on with our lives.

I just need one more day with some hot compresses,

and I promise I�ll go back tomorrow.

Honey, I don�t think staying home is the answer.

Come on, Mom. What�s the big deal if we take one more day to feel sad?

Honey, I just think we all have to start getting back to normal.

Mom, if things were normal, Dad would be the one taking us to school.

Yeah. Wearing those horrible, old people slippers.

And making us �healthy� sack lunches, that we

just threw out in the first available trash can.'

Right, he was so lame. - God, what a geek.

Dad.

Look. I know this is tough.

I I don�t really feel like going back to work today either.

But we have to.

So come on. Let�s do it.

Um, you�re gonna take us to school in that?

Yeah. - What is that?

It�s a housecoat. - Well, maybe it�s called a housecoat �cause you

should only wear it in the privacy of your own house.

What is the big deal? No one�s gonna see me in the car.

Damn right, they�re not. �Cause you�re gonna drop us like two blocks from school.

Congratulations, Mom. You�re just as lame as Dad.

Hey now, wait a minute.

That�s so sweet.

So, go change.

And put a brush through your hair. - And a bra wouldn�t kill ya.

8 SIMPLE RULES

Wow. Who died?

Oh, my God. I�m so sorry.

I can�t believe I said that. What�s wrong with me?

Bridget, nothing is wrong with you.

This is all just really weird.

Yeah, I know.

Well, look, we have each other. - Yes, we�ll do this together.

We missed you guys so much. - You did?

But before I was an outcast, persona au gratin.

Non grata. - Oui.

Truly, the group was not the same without you.

Uh, really? - Yeah.

It�s just like in Charlie�s Angels how there�s a blonde,

and a brunette and a kinda something else. We are so glad to have our blonde back.

I�m blonde. - Yeah right, Danielle. So, get this.

We were all totally obsessing about our dates for the dance on Friday night,

and some people weren�t getting asked, and I won�t name names Dana.

So we all decided we�d go stag and totally play the boys against each other.

Oh, I think under the given circumstances that.

Oh, I love that.

Bridget? You�re really talking about this?

Yeah, did you hear their strategy? It is very clever.

Yeah. About a stupid dance.

Don�t you think this inane conversation is just a little bit too soon?

Yeah, you�re right.

But if it weren�t, oh my gosh, I have the greatest idea

we plan a song list that is just one hot, sexy song after another,

and then we torture the guys by only dancing with each other.

Now that is brilliant.

No, I was just building off what you were already doing.

No way, that was way more brilliant. - No, well, you�re brillianter.

Ugh nice life.

Oh, hey guys.

You didn�t ring the doorbell. - Yeah, that�s strange.

�Cause I always ring the doorbell when I come into my own house.

Well, maybe if you�d have rung the bell, you�d have noticed that I fixed it.

Oh, that�s nice.

Well, aren�t you gonna try it? - What?

The doorbell.

I believe you that you fixed it.

Well, when I said I fixed it, maybe I was being unnecessarily modest.

You know, I�m talking three hours at the hardware store trying out doorbells

�til I found the exact right one that says, �This is where the Hennessy�s live."

Rory, would you do the honor?

Wow. You really nailed us.

I know.

Rory, did you do your homework?

Actually, my teachers said it was optional for me.

I could do it if I felt like it.

Well, I�m sure they�re just trying to be nice.

Everyone�s being so weird, lately.

They picked me first for football even though I suck.

Missy Kleinfeld who never talks to me was talking to me.

And the cafeteria lady gave me all this extra milk.

Apparently, pity milk doesn�t come in chocolate.

Hey, honey, how was school?

Horrible. Everyone was all fake and phony.

It made me sick. God, I hate everyone.

All I want to do is be alone for the rest of my life.

Bye guys. - Quick.

Lock the door so Bridget has to ring the bell.

Hi. - Damn.

You know, honey, I know today was really rough.

But but you�re home now, and it�s gonna be okay.

What are you talking about? - Your day at school.

Ring a bell?

Rory. - It was begging for it.

Um, Mom, actually everyone was really nice.

And there�s a dance this weekend. So I�m gonna have to get a new dress.

Oh, honey, I�m really happy that you�re adjusting but,

uh, we can�t buy you a new dress for every occasion.

Oh, hmm, okay, but I don�t know how I�m supposed to

torture guys with something I�ve already worn before.

I do admit it�s possible. I�ve done more with less.

Rory, could you stop doing that?

Grant you, I�m annoying. But I�m not a magician.

I�ll get it.

Hey, you fixed the doorbell. - I love this guy.

Kyle, I am so glad you�re here.

You know, Kerry�s been really down.

I�m thinking maybe you could take her someplace fun.

You know, like like an arcade. - Yeah, sure of course. - Okay, I�m gonna give you money.

Ah, Momma H, I will not take your daughter out and make you pay.

Oh, Kyle, you�re such a gentleman.

I insist. - No, I insist. - I don�t want to hear another word about it.

Take the money. - All right.

That�s it?

You want to play air hockey? - I don�t know. - Oh, come on.

When you bend over, sometimes I can see down your shirt.

Kyle! - Okay, yeah, I know.

Let�s do the dance game. You always kick my butt at the dance game.

Yeah, that�s true.

She smiles.

Yeah, okay, I can�t help but laugh. You�re a really bad dancer.

Well, I�m not that bad. - No, you really are.

I love you.

What? - You heard me.

Ah, there you are, you little devils.

What are you doing now? - I�m installing dimmer switches.

You�re welcome.

Uh, so, Dad, how long were you planning on staying?

You know, just out of curiosity.

Oh, I see: �Thanks for the dimmer switches, Dad.

But, don�t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. - No, no, no, no.

I�m I�m really glad you�re here and the kids are really glad you�re here.

You can stay as long as you want.

It�s just you know, if you wanna help maybe you could

help me with something I actually need help with? - Like?

I don�t know. Maybe groceries?

I�m not too good at groceries.

I can do them, but I just don�t think it�s a man�s job.

Okay, how about laundry?

You�re joking.

Well, I know, Dad, you know Kerry has been really down.

Maybe you could talk to her, and try to get to the bottom of things.

Ahh getting to the bottom of things was always your mother�s area.

Yeah, and she�s gone and left you.

Perhaps there�s a connection.

No, I don�t see it.

Oh, hi honey, how was the arcade?

I broke up with Kyle. - Oh, no honey.

What happened? - It�s fine. Whatever.

It just figures

How did you know we went to the arcade?

Well, you must have said that�s where you were going before you left.

No, I didn�t.

Well, then, you you know, you said it when you got home.

No, didn�t say it then either.

I guessed?

Oh, my God, that�s why Kyle was suddenly Mister Big Spender.

You set the whole thing up. - Oh, honey, I was just trying to help.

Well, don�t. Don�t help.

Just leave me and my horrible life alone.

So, Mom, get this at the coffee shop I was only at number nine on my punch card

but I think the coffee guy had a crush on me so he gave me my mochachinno

for free which was so sweet, but yeah, like I�m gonna go out with a barrister.

Honey, a barrister is a lawyer in England. - Oh, well, I guess the degree doesn�t

translate because he�s only making coffee here.

Bridget, look, your sister�s upstairs and she�s really upset,

so could you just tone the cheeriness down a little.

Oh, what else is new? - What�s that supposed to mean?

Fruit cup girl thrives on being depressed. - Fruit cup girl?

Yeah, that�s what the kids were calling her today at school because all she

would do was sit alone in the cafeteria picking at this disgusting fruit cup.

You know, Bridget, you need to cool it.

If Kerry wants to be sad it�s her choice, it�s unfair that

I have to pretend like everything�s terrible when it isn�t.

Honey, it�s only been two weeks. Not everyone is as resilient as you are.

It is not my fault that Kerry is depressed.

God, I can�t believe I�m being punished for being happy.

This place sucks.

Sorry.

This place sucks.

Kerry? Honey? Can we talk? - Go away.

Look, I I was just trying to help.

Bridge, you in there? - Go away.

Look, honey, I shouldn�t have yelled at you. I�m sorry. I really am sorry!

You already said that. - I wasn�t talking to you.

Good. Don�t talk to me.

You can buy a new dress for the dance. - Really?

�Cause I know exactly which one I�m gonna get.

It�s a red, which I know is not usually my color, but it really works.

I don�t think there�s a color out there I can�t make prettier.

You�re buying her a dress for the dance?

Well, I didn�t say we�ll see.

Now you�re going back on your word? Unbelievable!

God, no one says what they mean!

I�m still getting the dress, right?

Uh, I guess. Yes. - You�re the best.

Gramps, can I ask you something?

Shoot. - And you won�t tell anyone?

I don�t really talk to a lot of people.

Okay, remember that girl, Missy Kleinfeld?

She�s got this freckly little nose, killer smile,

been in a bra since the sixth grade, and really big...

I got it from �bra in sixth grade.

Anyway, she�s been offering to help me catch up

on the work I missed when I was gone from school.

And the thing is, I don�t need any help.

But, I�ve been staring at that bra for a lot of years,

and I�m just wondering, am I taking advantage of her?

Well, you know what I think?

I got a sneaky suspicion this Missy Kleinfeld is taking advantage of you.

She is? - Yeah. And you know what I say?

Huh? - Let her.

My key didn�t work in the lock.

I bet you�re pretty glad I fixed the doorbell.

What is going on? - I changed the locks.

Now you have just one key to open the front door and the back.

Wow, actually, Dad, that makes things a lot easier.

Except Gramps already lost the key. - Ah, well it�s no big deal.

Someone just has to stay home at all times to let the rest of us in.

My vote is for blabbermouth.

Hey hey, honey, you okay?

Oh, do I look down?

Well, maybe you should hire Kyle to take me somewhere

or I know, you could always buy me a new dress.

You cannot speak to me that way. - I�m sorry.

I guess I should just be all fake and sweet like

Bridget and take whatever my little grubby hands can get.

Kerry! Ugh!

Okay, so were all gonna go to Jenna�s, before

the dance, so we can give each other makeovers.

Ah, honey, is is that the dress you bought with my credit card?

Yeah. Isn�t it great?

I mean, you get good boob dresses and good butt dresses and goodleg dresses,

but it�s hardly ever you get a good boob butt leg dress.

Know what I mean? - Jiminy Christmas.

Well, honey, I don�t know, it�s a little

Slutty.

Mom, you said I could get any dress I wanted and this was the dress that I wanted.

Well, have a good time.

Thank you.

What�s wrong?

I never would have got this far before.

Dad would�ve never let me go out like this.

He would have he would have definitely sent me upstairs to change and

told me to cover myself up in some hideous sweater

and sit me down for an hour lecture on how I should

respect myself because guys only want one thing.

And I always hated it when he did that.

I just want my dad back. - Bridget. - Leave me alone.

None of my business.

Would you stop trying to fix things and just help?

Same to you, baby girl.

Come here.

I know.

Oh we lost your dad, you guys.

We lost him.

He�s gone.

And he�s not coming back.

But listen, there is no right way to deal with this.

I was just trying so hard to be happy, you know.

Because, if I was happy everything would be normal, and nothing�s normal.

It�s just not working.

It�s okay.

And I felt so guilty that something good was happening in my life

at the same time that this terrible thing was happening.

Well, honey, what was happening? What what was your good thing?

Kyle said I

I don�t know he was just trying to be sweet.

What did he say?

It�s dumb. He said he loved me. But, he doesn�t.

Well, maybe he does.

No, he�s just feeling sorry for me.

Listen there is no manual on how to deal with this.

It�s okay to be happy when you�re happy.

Honey, it�s okay to be sad when you�re sad.

God, and now I�m happy because Bridget�s really sad.

I�m so screwed up.

Oh, sweetheart, we�re all screwed up.

The important thing is that we stay together and we support each other.

I love you guys so much.

I love you, Mom. - I love you, too.

Bridge? - Yeah?

You�re too pretty for this dress.

What?

I just think it�s for some girl who has to try really hard.

And you don�t.

You should respect yourself.

Like Dad was always telling you to.

Because you deserve the best.

You deserve the best, too.

No, I don�t. - No, listen.

What Kyle said to you, he meant it.

How do you know?

Kyle and I went out for a really long time. - Yeah?

He never said it to me.

Hi. - Hi.

Come here.

Kyle, why did you say you loved me?

Well, see,

when your dad died. - Yeah, that�s what I thought.

No. - No, you felt sorry for me. Never mind.

No, that�s not it. It�s just, when your dad died, it it made me realize that you have to

say the things that you feel because you might not get another chance.

Oh.

Anything you feel like you want to say back?

I�ll get back to you.

Hey, honey. - You sure you don�t want to go to the dance? - Yeah, I�m sure.

I think I�m just gonna go upstairs and change.

Okay.

You know, Dad, you keep working at this pace,

you�re gonna run out of things to do around here.

Not likely.

Okay, I�m listening.

What? - Listening. It�s a form of helping.

At night, it�s the worst.

I hear ambulances or a noise and I jump up out

of the bed with this scared, panicky feeling.

Only, I I don�t know what I�m scared for because what I�m scared of already happened.

I still feel like he�s gonna walk through that door.

Okay and then you carry that and divide the whole thing by X.

Wow, Missy, that is some really tough stuff.

Maybe you could show me how to do it one more time. - Yeah, sure.

See, when you solve the equation all the variables come together

and you wanna make sure it�s on one step.
