YOU KNOW, IT STARTED OUT

AS A FEW INNOCENT LITTLE LIES.

I WOULDN'T EVEN CALL THEM LIES.

THEY WERE... THEY WERE LIE-ETTES.

AND IT JUST SNOWBALLED.

I MEAN, WHAT CAN I DO NOW?

DEENA BELIEVES VERY DEEPLY IN THIS CAUSE, ALEX.

YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS IT IS, UH...

WELL, IT'S REALLY INSULTING TO HER.

NOW, IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT DEENA,

YOU SHOULD TELL HER THE TRUTH NOW.

OF COURSE, IN THE END, I DID THE HONORABLE THING.

I LIED TO YOU. WHAT?

I LIED. I LIED. IT'S ALL LIES.

I'M NOT... I'M NOT PRO-E.R.A.

SEE, I... I JUST MADE-BELIEVE I WAS

SO YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN ME.

Woman: A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS... ALEX KEATON!

I'M UH...

I'M NOT, UH... WORTHY OF YOUR APPLAUSE.

UH, NO. NO, LOOK.

UH, IT'S... IT'S TIME THAT YOU HEARD THE TRUTH.

SEE, I DEFENDED DOROTHY CANELL'S RIGHT TO BE HEARD,

AND I BELIEVE IN THAT.

YES! NO. PLEASE.

SEE, UM, MY... MY REASONS FOR DOING IT

ARE... ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

I DID IT FOR A GIRL. ALL RIGHT! WHOO!

NO. NO. WAIT A MINUTE.

CUT IT OUT. CUT IT OUT. SEE, UH,

I'M... I'M TRYING TO APOLOGIZE HERE.

SEE, I, UH, I MADE-BELIEVE I WAS SOMETHING I'M NOT

SO, UH, SO THIS GIRL WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ME.

IT SEEMED HARMLESS ENOUGH AT THE TIME.

BUT, UH, THE TRUTH IS,

I'M... I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF THE E.R.A.

I-I'M SORRY, DEENA.

UH, I APOLOGIZE TO YOU, DOROTHY...

TO MY FAMILY...

AND TO ALL OF YOU.

SEE, I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS HONOR,

BECAUSE I... I BELIEVE THAT THE LEADER OF A MOVEMENT

HAS TO, UH, BELIEVE IN THE MOVEMENT.

AND I HONESTLY DON'T.

I... I HAVE MANAGED TO GAIN SOME NEW UNDERSTANDING

OF THE NEED FOR E.R.A.

A-AND IT COMES FROM SEEING INTELLIGENT, COURAGEOUS PEOPLE

WHO WANT IT AS BADLY AS YOU DO.

SO, YOU SEE, I AM NOT THE ALEX KEATON THAT YOU THOUGHT I WAS.

I'M SORRY.

ALL RIGHT. OK. I MADE A MISTAKE. ALL RIGHT?

I ADMIT IT. AT LEAST I APOLOGIZED.

I MEAN, I WAS A MAN ABOUT IT.

I WAS A WOMAN ABOUT IT?

WAIT. I WAS A PERSON ABOUT IT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO DEENA?

WELL, UH, ANDY, WE FELT THAT

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES...

AS SOON AS SHE FOUND OUT THAT ALEX WAS JUST

PRETENDING TO BE INTERESTED IN THE E.R.A.,

SHE TOLD HIM OFF, AND SHE HASN'T TALKED TO HIM SINCE.

KIND OF TEMPTING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

YEAH. WE WERE DOING SO WELL, TOO.

ONE LITTLE MISTAKE... YOU CAN'T GET PAST IT.

THAT'S BECAUSE WOMEN HAVE REAL DEPTH, ALEX...

SOMETHING YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

I SEE.

FACE IT, ALEX. WHEN A GIRL IS AROUND,

THE GUYS WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO GET THAT GIRL.

IS THAT TRUE, ALEX?

WELL, IT'S... IT'S NOT...

IT'S NOT AN EASY QUESTION TO ANSWER, ANDY.

I MEAN, THERE ARE SO MANY VARIABLES.

IS THAT TRUE, ALEX?

ABSOLUTELY.

GIRLS NEVER DO THAT. EVEN IF A GIRL LIKES A GUY,

SHE'S STILL RATIONAL. SHE STILL MAINTAINS HER DIGNITY.

OH, REALLY, JENNIFER?

REMEMBER WHEN SCOTT HANLEY CAME BACK?

WELL, THAT WAS DIFFERENT. I WAS MUCH YOUNGER THEN.

YOU SEE, ANDY,

JENNIFER HAD THIS BIG CRUSH

ON THIS BOY SCOTT HANLEY.

ANYWAY, HE MOVED AWAY.

AND WHEN HE CAME BACK TO VISIT A FEW YEARS LATER,

FOR SOME STRANGE REASON,

HE ONLY HAD EYES FOR MALLORY.

SO, NATURALLY, JENNIFER CAME TO ME FOR ADVICE.

I HAVE A PROBLEM, ALEX.

JENNIFER, YOU'RE 11 YEARS OLD.

YOU GOT A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD.

YOU'RE FED EVERY DAY.

YOU DON'T PAY TAXES.

WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE?

THE BASEBALL GAME WASN'T RAINED OUT.

SCOTT TOOK MALLORY OUT TO DINNER INSTEAD.

OH.

WELL, MAYBE HE FORGOT.

HOW COULD YOU FORGET ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

SCOTT AND I USED TO BE BEST FRIENDS.

HE NEVER USED TO LIKE MALLORY AT ALL.

NOW, IT'S THE OPPOSITE.

WHAT DOES MALLORY GOT THAT I DON'T?

UH, LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, JEN.

A 17-YEAR-OLD GUY

WILL TEND TO HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES IN GIRLS

THAN AN 11-YEAR-OLD GUY.

I-IT'S ONLY NATURAL.

AT THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE, SCOTT IS INTERESTED IN GIRLS

WHO ARE MORE...

SOFT.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN TO SCOTT?

WHY DID HE HAVE TO CHANGE?

WELL... IT'S NATURE, JEN.

THROUGH, UH, THROUGH NONE OF HER OWN DOING,

MALLORY JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE THAT CERTAIN INTANGIBLE QUALITY

THAT ATTRACTS BOYS...

BOYS WHO ARE HELPLESS VICTIMS TO THE HORMONES...

COURSING THROUGH THEIR VEINS...

YOU KNOW, BOYS LIKE SCOTT.

CAN WE PUT A STOP TO THIS?

IT'S TOO LATE, JEN.

IT'S ALL OVER FOR SCOTT...

AND HIS KIND.

IT'S NOT FAIR, ALEX.

YEAH. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, JEN.

MY ADVICE TO YOU IS THAT YOU JUST

ENJOY BEING A CHILD FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

I KNOW I DID.

IT WAS THE BEST TWO WEEKS OF MY LIFE.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT JENNIFER JUST KNEW

HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION, AND SHE MAINTAINED HER DIGNITY.

UH... SCOTT HANLEY'S TABLE, PLEASE.

IF YOU WILL FOLLOW ME, SEÑORA.

JENNIFER!

GOOD EVENING, SCOTT. I THOUGHT I'D JOIN YOU.

MALLORY!

HOW NICE TO SEE YOU!

HI, JEN.

JENNIFER, WHY ARE YOU DRESSED THIS WAY?

I'M A WOMAN OF MANY MOODS, SCOTT...

YOUNG AND PLAYFUL ONE MOMENT,

SOPHISTICATED AND DEADLY SERIOUS THE NEXT.

HEY.

UH... JENNIFER, THIS IS A TABLE FOR TWO.

I'M SURE YOU CAN MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR SISTER.

WELL, SCOTT, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE, I FOUND THE PIZZA WITH THE BOLOGNA

VERY MUCH TO MY LIKING.

SHALL I GO FOR IT AGAIN?

UH, I DON'T GET IT. IS THIS A JOKE OR SOMETHING?

I'M DEADLY SERIOUS, SCOTT.

PIZZA WITH BOLOGNA OR NOT?

JEN, WE ALREADY ORDERED.

MALLORY, SCOTT NEEDS HIS STRENGTH.

HE HAS MORMONS COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS.

WHAT?

THERE'LL BE NO TALKING ABOUT BASEBALL TONIGHT, SCOTT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NOT REALLY.

YOU'LL FIND TONIGHT THAT I COULD BE AS SOFT AS THE NEXT GIRL.

BUY YOU A DRINK?

UH... HEH.

ALL RIGHT, JEN. UH, COME HERE FOR A MINUTE, OK?

MALLORY, YOU'RE MAKING A SPECTACLE OF YOURSELF!

HEY, LISTEN. I THINK WE OUGHT TO TAKE YOU HOME NOW.

I DON'T NEED YOU TO TAKE ME HOME.

JENNIFER! STOP...

ARE YOU OK, LITTLE GIRL?

I'M FINE. AND I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL.

WAITER, MY BIKE!

ALL RIGHT, SO I WAS A LITTLE IMPULSIVE.

BUT MY FEELINGS WERE HURT.

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN MY PLACE?

I WOULD HAVE GALLANTLY STEPPED ASIDE

AND LET MALLORY, UH, ENJOY HER EVENING.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WOULD HAVE

BROUGHT HOME SOME PIZZA FOR MY BROTHER.

COME ON. THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, ALEX.

OF COURSE IT IS. BECAUSE WITH GUYS,

COOLNESS ALWAYS PREVAILS.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH. ATTABOY!

US GUYS GOT TO STICK TOGETHER, HUH, POP?

ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

ALEX WAS SAYING THAT GUYS ARE SO COOL, IMPLYING THAT GIRLS AREN'T...

THAT WE'RE READY TO SNIPE AT EACH OTHER ANY CHANCE WE GET.

IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK, ALEX?

MY COOLNESS PREVENTS ME FROM RESPONDING.

ALEX, YOU JUST HATE TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A SISTERHOOD AMONG WOMEN...

THANK YOU, MOM...

THAT YOU DON'T FIND AMONG MEN.

THAT'S A FABULOUS POINT, MAL.

WHAT MALLORY IS TRYING TO SAY

IS THAT WOMEN HAVE A GENTLE AND REASONABLE WAY

OF WORKING OUT THEIR PROBLEMS.

MOM, YOU WEREN'T SO REASONABLE WHEN YOU WERE HAVING

THAT LITTLE DISAGREEMENT WITH MAL OVER THE MODELING INCIDENT

A FEW YEARS AGO.

MOM GOT PICKED TO DO A COMMERCIAL

FOR THE PROPER PENGUIN FROZEN FOOD COMPANY,

AND MALLORY WAS REALLY JEALOUS.

I THOUGHT YOU ALL WENT BOWLING.

OH, NO. I TOLD DAD TO GO AHEAD WITHOUT ME.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF STUDYING TO DO.

OH, SORRY!

UM, THIS IS THE DAY FOR YOUR LITTLE COMMERCIAL.

I FORGOT. HEH.

I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY.

OK, PEOPLE, THIS IS FOR REAL.

PLACES, EVERYONE. PLACES.

ROLL 'EM!

PROPER PENGUIN FROZEN FOOD COMMERCIAL.

TAKE ONE.

AND ACTION!

I WAS HELD UP AT WORK. THE TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COOK AN IMPRESSIVE DINNER

FOR 8 IMPORTANT FRIENDS IN 20 MINUTES?

WHAT ABOUT THE PROPER PENGUIN?

OH, I FORGOT. THANK YOU, SIR PENGUIN.

HEH HEH HEH. LOOK AT THAT.

AN ENTIRE GOURMET MEAL RIGHT IN YOUR FREEZER...

ESCARGOT, TURTLE SOUP,

SUCCULENT PEKING DUCK WITH ALL THE FIXINGS,

AND FOR DESSERT...

CUT! UHH.

WHAT IS IT?

SORRY. MOM, COULD I HAVE THE ICE CREAM?

IT WAS...

RIGHT BEHIND THE TURTLE...

SORRY.

HERE, MALLORY.

NOW, PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT!

I WON'T. I'M SORRY.

CAN I JUST GET A SPOON?

NO!

PLACES, EVERYONE. PLACES.

ROLL 'EM!

PROPER PENGUIN FROZEN FOOD COMMERCIAL. TAKE TWO.

AND ACTION!

I WAS HELD UP AT WORK. TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COOK AN IMPRESSIVE DINNER

FOR 8 IMPORTANT FRIENDS IN 20 MINUTES?

WHAT ABOUT THE PROPER PENGUIN?

OH, I FORGOT. THANK YOU, SIR PENGUIN.

HEH HEH HEH. LOOK AT THAT.

AN ENTIRE GOURMET MEAL RIGHT IN YOUR FREEZER...

ESCARGOT, TURTLE SOUP,

SUCCULENT PEKING DUCK WITH ALL THE FIXINGS,

AND FOR DESSERT... YES. WHY NOT?

CREPE SUZETTE FLAMBE.

AND I'LL TOP IT OFF

WITH PROPER PENGUIN PREMIUM PERUVIAN COFFEE

IN THIS HEARTY BOIL-IN-THE-BAG POUCH.

WHY FOOL WITH INSTANT?

JUST POP IT ALL IN THE MICROWAVE.

EXCUSE ME.

CUT! CUT! CUT! CUT!

IT'S JUST THAT WE DON'T HAVE A MICROWAVE.

WE DON'T NEED A MICROWAVE FOR THE COMMERCIAL!

OH. SORRY. UM, I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.

LOOK, KID...

IT'S 114 DEGREES IN THIS SUIT.

MAYBE I'LL TAKE A WALK.

MAKE IT A LONG ONE.

OK. PLACES, EVERYBODY. PLACES.

ONCE MORE, FROM THE TOP.

READY! AND ROLL 'EM!

PROPER PENGUIN FROZEN FOOD COMMERCIAL. TAKE FOUR.

OK. VERY QUIETLY. ONCE AGAIN.

AND ACTION!

I WAS HELD UP AT WORK. TRAFFIC WAS AWFUL.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COOK AN IMPRESSIVE DINNER

FOR 8 IMPORTANT FRIENDS IN 20 MINUTES?

WHAT ABOUT THE PROPER PENGUIN?

HE'S LOCKED OUT!

CUT, CUT, CUT.

MALLORY!

OH! SORRY.

OH, STUPID ME! I... I LOCKED THE DOOR.

HEH. HABIT... SAFETY.

I'M SORRY.

I'M WARNING YOU, KID.

PROPER PENGUIN FROZEN FOOD COMMERCIAL. TAKE 22.

ACTION!

I WAS HELD DOWN AT WORK. TRAFFIC WAS IMPORTANT.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COOK 8 FRIENDS AND A PENGUIN?

ARE YOU STILL MAD AT MALLORY, MOMMY?

OH, NO. WE MADE UP A LONG TIME AGO.

YEAH, WE ALWAYS DO.

YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE GIVING ANDY THE WRONG IMPRESSION HERE.

ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE THE ARGUMENTS,

THE DECEPTIONS, AND THE FIGHTS WE'VE HAD.

THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE STORY.

YOU KNOW, IT'S OK TO BE MAD AT SOMEONE,

YOU KNOW, EVEN SOMEBODY YOU LOVE...

EVEN SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY.

IT'S... IT'S ONLY WRONG WHEN YOU STAY MAD.

THE FACT IS, WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE,

WE ALL STICK UP FOR EACH OTHER.

EVEN ALEX AND MALLORY?

ESPECIALLY ALEX AND MALLORY.

WHOA, WHOA. WAIT A MINUTE.

OK, LET'S NOT GO TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL HERE.

I GOT AN IMAGE TO PROTECT.

ANDY, EVEN THOUGH YOUR BROTHER DOESN'T LIKE TO ADMIT IT,

HE HAPPENS TO BE A VERY NICE GUY.

OH. DON'T LISTEN TO ANY OF THIS, ANDY.

WE WERE COMING HOME FROM PRINCETON,

A DISASTER OF A WEEKEND. I MESSED UP EVERYTHING.

BUT ALEX... ALEX WAS GREAT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

I WANT TO DIE.

I GUESS YOU'RE NOT UP FOR A GAME OF GIN RUMMY, THEN, HUH?

WHAT A WEEKEND.

I... I RUINED YOUR INTERVIEW.

I LOST MY BOYFRIEND.

I MADE A COMPLETE FOOL OF MYSELF IN THE PROCESS.

NEVER BEFORE HAVE I ACTED SO STUPIDLY AND SO SELFISHLY.

COME ON, MALLORY...

SURE YOU HAVE.

I'M KIDDING. I'M JUST KIDDING.

COME ON, CHEER UP, WILL YOU?

SO, UH, HOW DID YOU AND JEFF LEAVE THINGS?

WELL, THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT WE COULD SAY TO EACH OTHER.

I MEAN, WE DID AGREE TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE.

UHH. IT WAS STUPID OF ME TO GO UP THERE THIS WEEKEND.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO STOP ME?

WHAT?

KIDDING. I'M JUST KIDDING.

WELL, IT'S GOOD THAT YOU CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT.

DESPAIR DOES FUNNY THINGS TO A WOMAN.

LISTEN, UH, MALLORY...

YOU LOST A BOYFRIEND TODAY.

A GOOD ONE, AND, UH...

I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET,

BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU'RE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON.

YOU GOT A GOOD HEART.

YOU GOT A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR.

YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE,

AND, UH...

YOU'RE A LOT SMARTER...

THAN I USUALLY GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR.

SO, UH, DON'T YOU WORRY, MALLORY.

THERE ARE LOTS OF GUYS OUT THERE

WHO WOULD CONSIDER THEMSELVES LUCKY

TO EVEN MEET SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

IT'S TRUE, MALLORY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD

JUST POSSESSED ME TO SAY ALL THAT...

BUT, UH...

IT IS TRUE.

ALEX, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

I MEAN, I'M SURPRISED YOU'RE NOT ANGRY WITH ME

AFTER WHAT I DID TO YOU TODAY.

MALLORY, WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT IN GETTING ANGRY AT YOU NOW?

YOU'RE BROKENHEARTED. YOU'RE IN A WEAKENED STATE.

I'LL WAIT TILL YOU FEEL BETTER.

THEN I'LL REALLY LET YOU HAVE IT.

NO, I'M SERIOUS, ALEX. I RUINED YOUR COLLEGE INTERVIEW.

I MEAN, I PRACTICALLY DESTROYED YOUR CHANCES

OF GETTING INTO PRINCETON.

WHAT I DID TODAY MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE COURSE OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.

BECAUSE OF ME!

UH, M-MALLORY, LISTEN. UH, I'M NOT ANGRY NOW.

BUT IF YOU KEEP THIS UP, I'M GONNA THROW YOU OFF THE TRAIN.

BUT IT'S TRUE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF.

ALL I KNOW IS, WHEN I WAS UP THERE

IN DEAN MEMINGER'S OFFICE,

AND I SAW YOU WANDERING ACROSS THE CAMPUS,

DELIRIOUS WITH GRIEF,

IT REALLY GOT TO ME.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, GETTING INTO PRINCETON

DIDN'T SEEM AS IMPORTANT AS HELPING YOU OUT.

I THINK YOU'RE CHANGING, ALEX.

YOU MAY BE RIGHT, MALLORY.

I REALLY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF TODAY.

WHAT?

WELL, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT I KNEW MYSELF, YOU KNOW...

WHAT I WANTED, HOW I WANTED TO GET IT.

APPARENTLY, I WAS WRONG.

I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO FACE THE COLD, HARD TRUTH

THAT UNDERNEATH IT ALL,

LIKE IT OR NOT...

I'M JUST A HELL OF A NICE GUY.

SHUT UP AND DEAL THE CARDS.

ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT A GAME OF HEARTS?

ALEX...

OLD MAID?

ALEX, YOU'RE NICE.

LOOK, I HAD A FEVER, OK?

I WASN'T MYSELF.

YOU SEE, ANDY, THAT'S WHAT FAMILY IS.

EVERYBODY'S HERE TO HELP EVERYBODY ELSE.

SO, YOU NEED HELP, WE'RE HERE.

EVEN IF I NEED MY SHOE TIED?

RIGHT. COME TO ME.

OR IF I NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE ME TO PRESCHOOL?

RIGHT. COME TO ME.

EVEN IF I NEED 100 BUCKS?

GO TO DAD.

IT'S TRUE, ANDY. WE ALL HELP EACH OTHER OUT AROUND HERE.

SOMETIMES, IT MAY NOT SEEM THAT WAY.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AROUND THIS HOUSE,

AND IT'S EASY TO FEEL LEFT OUT,

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE THE YOUNGEST.

HEH. ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU STILL WHINING ABOUT THAT?

IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS.

YOU KNOW, ALEX, IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO FORGET. HOW DO YOU THINK IT FEELS?

YOU LOST ME AT A CARD GAME.

WELL, I OBVIOUSLY FOUND YOU.

YOU SEE, MALLORY WAS SUPPOSED TO BABY-SIT ME THAT NIGHT.

BUT SHE PASSED ME OFF TO ALEX.

HE WENT TO A CARD GAME WHERE HE GOT SO INVOLVED,

HE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT I HAD WALKED OUT.

I THOUGHT YOU WENT OUTSIDE FOR A SMOKE.

JENNIFER, WE'VE APOLOGIZED OVER AND OVER.

HI. UH, MOM SAID YOU'D SEE US NOW.

CAN WE COME IN?

SURE.

THANKS.

GUESS YOU'LL WANT ME TO LEAVE, THEN.

WAIT A MINUTE. WHY WOULD WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE?

WELL, YOU NEVER SEEM TO WANT ME AROUND LATELY.

COME ON, JENNIFER. THAT'S NOT TRUE.

IT ISN'T, HUH? IS THAT WHY YOU DUMPED ME FOR JEFF?

JENNIFER... HEY, MALLORY DIDN'T MEAN...

AT LEAST SHE DUMPED ME FOR A NICE GUY, ALEX.

YOU DUMPED ME FOR A GROUP OF WINOS.

YEAH, ALEX.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

ON THE OTHER HAND, MALLORY, YOU HURT ME EVEN MORE.

I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING FROM ALEX.

YEAH, MALLOR... Y. WAIT... WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING OF ME?

ARE YOU SAYING THAT I NEGLECTED YOU?

ALEX, THE ONLY TIME YOU TALK TO ME IS WHEN YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE THE ROOM

OR YOU NEED SOME MONEY.

I MEAN, H-HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

REMEMBER THIS MORNING? I TALKED TO YOU. I TALKED TO YOU.

I... I PASSED YOU IN THE HALL. I SAID, UH...

"HEY, HOW YOU DOING?"

I'M TOUCHED.

LOOK, JENNIFER. I DON'T KNOW

IF IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL ANY BETTER, BUT, UH, WE'RE GROUNDED.

FOR HOW LONG?

LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY...

YOU'LL BE DRIVING BEFORE WE WILL.

LOOK. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE HERE.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.

IT'S ALWAYS, "YOU'RE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS, JENNIFER,"

OR, "WE CAN'T GO BECAUSE OF YOU, JENNIFER."

I'M NOT A PERSON.

I'M A LITTLE SISTER.

JENNIFER, WE DON'T REALLY TREAT YOU LIKE THAT.

YES, YOU DO. YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS SO BUSY.

YOU NEVER HAVE TIME FOR ME.

ALEX, YOU'RE BUSY WITH YOUR WORK, YOUR CLUBS, YOUR SCHOOL.

MALLORY, YOU'RE BUSY WITH YOUR BOYS, AND...

WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO?

IT'S JUST BECAUSE WE'RE OLDER, JENNIFER.

WHEN YOU GET TO BE OUR AGE, YOU'LL BE BUSY, TOO.

I'LL NEVER BE YOUR AGE.

I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUNGER.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO,

YOU GUYS WILL ALWAYS GET TO DO IT FIRST.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE, JENNIFER,

BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF ADVANTAGES TO BEING THE YOUNGEST.

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, FOR... FOR ONE THING,

MALLORY AND I HAVE WORN MOM AND DAD DOWN.

WE'VE BROKEN THEM IN. WE'VE TRAINED THEM.

BY THE TIME YOU GET TO BE OUR AGE, YOU'LL BE RUNNING THIS PLACE.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO,

BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND THEN?

WE'LL TRY AND MAKE IT MORE FUN FOR YOU, JEN.

WILL YOU GUYS LET ME GET IN TROUBLE WITH YOU MORE OFTEN?

SURE WE WILL.

WILL YOU TAKE ALL THE BLAME WHEN WE DO?

WE ALWAYS DO.

I KNOW.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART OF BEING THE LITTLE SISTER.

YOU KNOW, JENNIFER, UH...

WHEN WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE YOU WERE,

WE WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

YOU MEAN IT?

THERE WAS A MOMENT THERE WHEN I REALIZED

WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE, UH...

IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND, AND I DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA.

FOR ONE THING, I'D BE STUCK HERE ALONE WITH MALLORY.

WE LOVE YOU, JENNIFER.

SOMETIMES WE FORGET TO SAY IT, BUT WE DO.

YOU, TOO, ALEX?

ME, TOO.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH STORYTELLING FOR ONE NIGHT.

IT'S TIME FOR BEDTIME.

I'M NOT SLEEPY.

I WANT TO HEAR MORE... MORE ABOUT HOW YOU GUYS FIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THERE WAS THIS TIME THAT MALLORY...

ALEX, PLEASE. I'M SORRY, MOM.

DON'T THINK ABOUT THE FIGHTS, ANDY.

JUST THINK ABOUT HOW WE MAKE UP

AND HOW WE JUST LOVE EACH OTHER.

JUST REMEMBER THOSE THINGS. WE DO.

SIT, UBU, SIT.

GOOD DOG.
