[MUSIC THEME]

[MOESHA] I KNEW DADDY WAS A GOLD MEDALIST.

IN THE TRIPPIN' OLYMPICS, BUT NOW,

WITH DEE AS HIS TRAINER, HE'S GOING.

FOR A PERSONAL BEST.

EXAMPLE? AFTER I CAUGHT MYLES.

SMOKING A JOINT IN HIS ROOM, DADDY AND DEE.

HAD A LONG TALK WITH HIM, AND HE PROMISED.

HE'D NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

BUT NO, THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

DEE TALKED DADDY INTO PUTTING MYLES INTO THERAPY.

NOW, OF COURSE I WANT MYLES TO GET ALL THE HELP HE NEEDS,

BUT I WOULD MUCH RATHER KEEP OUR BUSINESS OUR BUSINESS.

[GLOOMY MUSIC]

DEE, HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM

WHEN SOMEBODY'S IN THERE PRYING INTO OUR SON'S INNERMOST FEELINGS?

IT'S NOT THAT DRAMATIC, FRANK.

YEAH, WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW?

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN THERAPY.

YES, I HAVE.

THEY MADE ME GO... AFTER I STABBED

MY FIRST HUSBAND FOR GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE.

I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU, DEE.

[MYLES SCREAMING]

I'VE GOT YOU NOW.

OH, NO, YOU DON'T.

NO. NO.

YES! AH...

- YOU DO. - [LAUGHS]

MYLES WINS AGAIN.

I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!

YOU ONLY WON BECAUSE I WASN'T ABOUT

TO RUIN MY MANICURE YANKIN' OUT YOUR SPINE.

SO, BEFORE MY UNTIMELY DEFEAT,

YOU WERE SAYING YOUR PARENTS ARE STARTING TO TRUST YOU AGAIN?

YEAH. THEY STOPPED SEARCHING MY ROOM

AND TOOK DOWN THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA.

SO, IF I LOOKED IN YOUR BACKPACK,

I WOULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD

TURN YOUR EYES RED AND MAKE YOU

SMELL FUNNY?

JUST MY GYM SOCKS. [LAUGHS]

HEY, I ONLY SMOKED THAT STUFF A COUPLE OF TIMES,

YOU KNOW, WHEN I CUT SCHOOL AND HANG OUT.

YOU WERE CUTTING SCHOOL?

BUT I THOUGHT YOU REALLY LIKED IT.

OH, I DO,

BUT I WASN'T DOING MY HOMEWORK,

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT MY TEACHERS.

BUT SINCE I GOT BUSTED, DADDY AND DEE

MAKE SURE I GET IT DONE EVERY NIGHT.

I BET THAT REALLY CUTS INTO YOUR TV TIME, HUH?

IT SURE DOES.

NOW I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THEY KILLED KENNY LAST WEEK.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT BRINGING THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY IN

FOR A COUPLE OF SESSIONS.

OK.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'VE REALLY LET THEM DOWN.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL THEM, AND I'D REALLY

LIKE TO TALK TO MOESHA.

- WHY? - WELL, BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR BIG SISTER,

AND I ASSUME SHE'S A BIG PART OF YOUR LIFE.

DO YOU THINK SHE'D MIND COMING IN?

I DON'T KNOW.

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,

IT'S PRETTY TOUGH TRYING TO DRAG HER OUT OF THAT MALL.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SISTER AND I HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.

MAYBE I CAN MEET HER AT HOT DOG ON A STICK.

[R&B MUSIC]

HERE. BE SURE TO TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT AMATEUR NIGHT.

OH, SURE.

UH, SO, HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO?

OOH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS LITTLE

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ROUTINE.

WELL, HOW DO YOU SAY, "BOO," IN FRENCH?

ANYWAY, I FIGURE WE'D HANG, LIKE, A HIGH WIRE ACROSS THE STAGE,

AND THEN KIM AND I COULD, UM... END UP

IN THE HOSPITAL?

UH-UH. YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE.

WELL, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY ACT ALL WEEK.

I'M MASTERING THE ART OF ILLUSION.

WELL, KIM, HOW YOU GONNA MASTER ILLUSION

WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN GET REALITY RIGHT?

WATCH.

PICK A CARD.

[LAUGHS] DON'T TELL ME WHAT IT IS.

♪ LA DA DEE ♪

OK.

THAT TOOK YOU ALL WEEK, HUH?

WELL, KIM, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT READY TO GO SOLO.

YOU AND NIECY SHOULD DO SOMETHING TOGETHER.

WELL, I HAD CONSIDERED DOING, LIKE, THIS

INTERPRETIVE DANCE TO SOME OF

ERYKAH BADU'S WORDS.

I CALLED IT, "SPOKEN DANCE."

HMM.

OOH. AND YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD SET IT OFF?

IS IF YOU DO THE DANCE PART AND I SING

TO THE SPOKEN PART.

IT'LL BE CALLED A... WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

A SONG?

WELL, THAT TAKES CARE OF YOU TWO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?

[BOTH] JUDGE.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE FAMILY?

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THERAPY WITHOUT ME.

HAKEEM, WE'RE NOT IN THERAPY.

THEN WHY DOES MYLES' THERAPIST THINK I'M HIS IMAGINARY FRIEND?

GIRL, YOU DIDN'T TELL US MYLES WAS CUCKOO FOR COCOA PUFFS.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE MYLES' THERAPY IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

OH, COME ON, MO. DON'T BE ASHAMED.

SHOOT, I WISH MY FAMILY HAD ENOUGH MONEY

TO HIRE A THERAPIST TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS.

HAKEEM, IF YOUR FAMILY HAD ENOUGH MONEY,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

MY MAMA SAYS BLACK FOLKS DON'T NEED THERAPY.

ALL WE NEED IS JESUS AND OPRAH.

WELL, ALL I KNOW IS I DON'T WANT

ANYBODY MESSING WITH MY HEAD.

OH, I'M SURPRISED AT YOU, MO.

I THOUGHT YOU'D DO ANYTHING FOR LIL MAN.

I WILL, BUT WHAT'S LYING ON A COUCH

TELLING MY DEEP, DARKEST FEELINGS TO SOME FRASIER WANNABE

GONNA DO FOR MY BROTHER?

WELL, THEN WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

WELL, I'M GONNA GO AND DO WHAT EVERY

NORMAL, WELL-ADJUSTED TEENAGER WOULD DO...

TELL THE THERAPIST EVERYTHING IS COOL.

OR YOU COULD TELL HER THE TRUTH

AND DUMP YOUR PROBLEMS ON SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES US.

[EVERYONE CHEERING]

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

COME ON, MOESHA. WALK WITH ME.

BREATHE IN.

[INHALES DEEPLY] LET IT OUT.

[EXHALES]

PICK UP THE PACE. YOU'RE FALLING BEHIND.

LOOK. NOW I'M GETTING OFF.

DR. WOODS, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

BUT IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

- YOU DO? - YES.

YOU'RE TRYING TO WEAR ME OUT

SO I CAN BREAK DOWN AND TELL ALL

MY FAMILY SECRETS.

OH, I SEE YOU'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH

- ON PSYCHOTHERAPEUTICAL METHODOLOGY. - MM-HMM.

YEAH, WELL, SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES USE TECHNIQUES LIKE THAT

TO GET THEIR CLIENTS TO OPEN UP,

BUT NOT ME.

I'M TRYING TO GET A FEW POUNDS OFF BEFORE MY HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION.

WHEW!

GATORADE BREAK.

HEY, NICE SNEAKERS. DKNY?

HEH. CHAPTER TWO:

BOND WITH THE PATIENTS OVER COMMON TASTE AND INTEREST.

NO, I WAS GONNA TELL YOU WHERE YOU COULD

GET THEM WHOLESALE, BUT SINCE YOU WANT

TO CUT TO THE CHASE, LET'S GO.

SO, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR HOME LIFE.

YOU MEAN MYLES ' HOME LIFE?

EITHER ONE.

WELL, THE MITCHELLS ARE

YOUR TYPICAL AMERICAN MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILY:

LOTS OF LOVE, LOTS OF LAUGHS, LOTS OF HUGS.

LOTS OF DRAMA.

MYLES TELLS ME AT ONE POINT,

YOU AND YOUR FATHER WEREN'T GETTING ALONG.

LET'S EXPLORE THAT.

WELL, THOSE WERE JUST GROWING PAINS.

I MEAN, NOW THAT I'VE CONVINCED MY DADDY

THAT I'M PRACTICALLY AN ADULT,

WE GET ALONG JUST FINE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR STEPMOTHER?

DEE IS GREAT WITH MYLES.

I MEAN, SHE'S SO WARM AND UNDERSTANDING.

WELL, IF EVERYTHING IS SO HAPPY AND WONDERFUL,

WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR BROTHER WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA?

WELL, PERSONALLY, I BLAME THE MEDIA.

SO, WHO'S HIS PUSHER MAN, DAN RATHER?

I MEAN, DOCTOR WOODS, OF COURSE PEER PRESSURE

HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT, I'M SURE.

BUT I... HE ONLY DID IT ONCE.

TWICE.

ALL RIGHT, MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES.

ANYWAY, HE SAID HE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

SO MYLES HAS NO PROBLEMS, EITHER?

WELL, NONE THAT I CAN SEE, AND I REALLY

DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S STILL COMING HERE.

WELL, ME, EITHER.

THE WAY YOU'VE ANALYZED ALL THE ISSUES

AND ADDRESSED ALL YOUR PROBLEMS,

I SHOULD BE REFERRING CLIENTS TO YOU.

WE WORK WELL TOGETHER.

NO THANKS, DOCTOR WOODS.

I HEARD THAT THERAPISTS HAVE A HIGH SUICIDE RATE.

ARE WE DONE?

ALMOST. JUST... ONE MORE QUESTION

BEFORE YOU GO.

SURE.

WHY'D YOU MOVE OUT?

DOCTOR WOODS, I THOUGHT I CAME HERE SPECIFICALLY TO TALK ABOUT MYLES.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GET INTO MY BUSINESS?

OH, I'D LOVE TO EXPLAIN, BUT YOUR 50 MINUTES ARE UP,

AND YOUR DAD'S H.M.O. DOESN'T PAY FOR OVERTIME.

SO, IF WE'RE OUT OF TIME, WHY'D YOU ASK ME ABOUT MOVING OUT?

CHAPTER THREE:

MESS WITH THE CLIENT'S HEAD.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME, BUT I THINK

THE WHOLE FAMILY SHOULD BE HERE

FOR THAT ONE.

YEAH. THE WHOLE FAMILY MINUS ONE.

[GLOOMY MUSIC]

- HEY, MYLES! - HEY, MO.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING? - OUT.

YEAH, BUT WHEN DADDY AND DEE GET BACK,

YOU HAVE TO GO TO THERAPY WITH US.

SORRY, MYLES. Y'ALL GO AHEAD.

I HAVE A PRIOR COMMITMENT AT THE DEN.

YEAH, BUT DR. WOODS WANTS TO SEE THE WHOLE FAMILY.

FORGET DR. WOODS. YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU NEED MORE THAN THERAPY

IS SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR BIG SIS,

SO, I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT.

WE GONNA SPEND ALL DAY SUNDAY DOING

WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO, ALL RIGHT?

- BUT WE STILL GOTTA... - [MOESHA] COOL.

[PEOPLE TALKING]

HEY, GIRL.

WHAT'S HAPPENIN', MO? WHAT'S HAPPENIN?

[SHOUTING] HELLO, MYLES!

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

KIM, WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

THE BOY IS NOT DEAF, OK?

HE'S JUST A LITTLE TOUCHED.

OH, COME ON, MAN. HE IS NOT TOUCHED.

HE JUST LIKES TO GET HIGH.

NO, HE DOESN'T.

LEAVE HIM ALONE, EVERYTHING'S

GONNA BE FINE, BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA LET

NOTHING HAPPEN TO MY BABY BROTHER.

RIGHT, MYLES?

- [HAKEEM] RIGHT. - WE OUT.

[CROWD BOOING]

OH. HEY, PUMPKIN.

HI, DADDY.

SO, DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME AT THE DEN TONIGHT?

IT WAS ALL RIGHT, BUT JUDGING KIND OF WORE ME OUT. GOOD NIGHT.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF, BABY,

BUT I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU MISSED OUR SESSION WITH DOCTOR WOODS.

OH, ME, TOO, BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES CONFLICTS ARE UNAVOIDABLE. GOOD NIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU DO?

OH, OF COURSE.

THAT'S WHY I RESCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW.

AND THIS TIME, THE WHOLE FAMILY WILL BE THERE.

YOU GOT IT?

GOT IT. GOOD NIGHT.

OH, PUMPKIN... THIS IS FOR YOU.

- WHAT IS IT? - IT'S A BILL FOR TONIGHT'S SESSION.

SEE, DOCTOR WOODS HAS A 24-HOUR

CANCELLATION POLICY, AND SINCE YOU

MADE US MISS IT, WELL, I FIGURE

YOU SHOULD PAY FOR IT.

GOOD NIGHT.

[INTERMEZZO TUNE]

OK, THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

YOU'RE GONNA PLAY EACH OTHER.

THAT WAY, YOU CAN SEE YOURSELVES AS OTHERS DO.

OH. SO WE'LL BE ROLE-PLAYING?

RIGHT. NOW, YOU'RE ACTING OUT

A TYPICAL DINNER AT THE MITCHELLS.

MYLES, WHY DON'T YOU START?

OH, BUT WE CAN'T. HAKEEM'S NOT HERE TO SNATCH THE FOOD OFF MY FORK.

I THINK SHE MEANS ME, SWEETHEART.

- OK, UM... - [FRANK CLEARS THROAT]

WOW, DEE, I LOVE THIS JAMAICAN FEAST. IT'S DELICIOUS.

YOU COOKED EVERYTHING JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT.

THANK YOU, MYLES.

AND MAY I SAY HOW STRONG AND HANDSOME YOU LOOK TODAY?

HAVE YOU BEEN PUMPING IRON?

HOLD IT. NOW, LET'S GET REAL.

THIS IS NOT MASTERPIECE THEATER.

MOESHA, HOW'S YOUR DINNER?

OH. OH.

IT'S BANGIN'.

IT'S DOPE.

IT'S ALL THAT. [CHUCKLES]

YEAH. DEE, I WISH THAT YOU WOULD COOK

LIKE THIS MORE OFTEN.

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT,

BUT I'M SO BUSY AT SCHOOL THESE DAYS,

I BARELY HAVE TIME TO EAT, LET ALONE COOK DINNER FOR MY FAMILY.

WELL, UM...

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, DEE, 'CAUSE I DON'T EAT

THE STUFF YOU COOK, ANYWAY.

I'D RATHER EAT A BUNCH OF JUNK

AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

[LAUGHS LIKE FRANK]

PUMPKIN, YOU BETTER EAT UP, BECAUSE

I'VE CALCULATED THAT THIS MEAL COSTS $4.83

PER SERVING.

NO, DADDY. I DON'T WANNA EAT ANY MORE,

'CAUSE I MIGHT GAIN WEIGHT

AND NOT BE ABLE TO FIT INTO THOSE

SKIMPY OUTFITS THAT I BUY AT THE MALL.

NO. I'VE GOTTA STAY TRIM SO THAT ALL THE BOYS CAN ADMIRE MY TATTOO

AND ASK FOR MY PHONE NUMBER.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, DADDY?

WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, YOUNG LADY,

IS THAT YOU WALK... NOW, YOU TWO

STOP YOUR ARGUMENT.

IF YOU WOULD JUST LISTEN TO ME,

YOU GUYS WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

DEE IS RIGHT.

SHE'S GOT AN AWFUL LOT OF INSIGHT TO OFFER,

BUT YOU TWO ARE JUST TOO STUBBORN TO LISTEN.

[BOTH] MYLES... GO TO YOUR ROOM.

FRANK... HONEY, I DIDN'T

KNOW THAT'S THE WAY YOU REALLY FELT.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE I JUST OUGHT TO KEEP MY ADVICE TO MYSELF FROM NOW ON.

NO, NO, NO, BABY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

NO, I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, SOMETIMES.

SOMETIMES?

NO, HE MEANS ALL THE TIME, DEE.

YOU THE ONE WHO TALKED HIM INTO DRAGGING US

ALL DOWN HERE.

- DRAGGING YOU DOWN HERE? - [MOESHA] YES.

WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT MYLES.

WELL, I'M ALL FOR THAT,

BUT COULDN'T WE JUST GO TO CHUCK E CHEESE

AND CALL IT A DAY?

- MOESHA... - I'M JUST BEING OPEN.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT. PURGE. PURGE.

YOU GUYS HAVE ISSUES.

KEEP THIS UP, AND I'll BE ABLE TO PUT.

A DECK ON MY BEACH HOUSE.

JUST JOKING. I ALREADY HAVE A DECK.

NOW, PARENTS, YOU PLAY EACH OTHER,

AND, KIDS, YOU DO THE SAME.

[FRANK CLEARS THROAT]

I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DINNER.

[FRANK CHUCKLES]

[SINGSONG] FRANK...

LET'S GO INTO THE FAMILY ROOM AND CUDDLE.

I'll BE RIGHT THERE, DEE,

AS SOON AS I FINISH PAYING ALL THE BILLS,

DOING ALL OF THE SATURN PAPERWORK

FOR THE NEXT QUARTER, AND, UH, WORRYING

ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MOESHA'S DOING.

OH, NOW, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S NOT FAIR, DEE.

YOU KNOW I CUT BACK ON THE WORKING.

COME ON, NOW. STAY IN YOUR ROLES.

MYLES AND MOESHA, JUMP IN.

HEY, WHAT'S UP, PENCIL-LEGS?

HEY, YOU DO MY HOMEWORK SO I CAN GO OUT AND PLAY?

GET AWAY FROM ME, PEANUTHEAD.

CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ON THE PHONE?

YOU KNOW I HAVE TO SPEAK TO MY FRIENDS

ALL NIGHT TALKIN' ABOUT

WHAT WE DID ALL DAY.

WELL, THAT'S COOL. I'll JUST ASK DAD.

GOOD IDEA, BUCKETHEAD.

BUT IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE,

HE'S BUSY WORRYING ABOUT ME RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE RIGHT, MO, SO I'll JUST HIDE.

IN YOUR CLOSET, READ YOUR DIARY, AND

BASICALLY IGNORE YOU TILL YOU GET OFF THE PHONE.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

MY FRIENDS ARE COMING OVER,

AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE WAY MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN YOU'LL EVER BE.

MYLES, THAT HURT.

- MYLES, YOU APOLOGIZE TO YOUR... - NO.

NO. I THINK WE SHOULD LET THEM TALK.

MYLES, I WOULD NEVER, EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO. THAT'S HOW YOU ACT.

LIKE WHEN?

LIKE WHEN YOU KICK ME OUT OF YOUR ROOM

AS SOON AS YOUR FRIENDS COME OVER.

OR WHEN YOU SKIPPED MY THERAPY JUST TO HANG OUT AT THE DEN.

YOU EVEN MOVED OUT AND LEFT ME AT HOME ALL BY MYSELF.

MYLES, I NEVER MEANT TO DESERT YOU, OK?

NOW... NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU WEREN'T BY YOURSELF, MYLES.

DEE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR YOU.

WHEN? DEE WAS ALWAYS AT SCHOOL,

AND YOU WERE ALWAYS AT WORK.

AND WHEN YOU GUYS WERE HOME,

ALL YOU CARED ABOUT WAS MO.

WELL, SWEETHEART, WHY DIDN'T YOU

EVER TELL US THAT THAT'S THE WAY YOU FELT?

HOW COULD I?

EVERYBODY WAS ALWAYS SENDING ME TO MY ROOM.

MYLES, WE DID THAT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PROTECT YOU.

- WE THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING. - [FRANK] YEAH.

HONEY, THERE ARE JUST CERTAIN THINGS

WE THOUGHT THAT YOU DIDN'T NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

JUST FORGET IT.

NO, NO, NO. MYLES, WE'RE NOT GONNA FORGET THIS.

NOW, WE WANNA HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

MYLES... THEY'RE LISTENING.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS TREAT ME LIKE I'M NOT EVEN PART OF THE FAMILY.

MYLES, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU.

I BEGGED YOU TO STAY, AND YOU STILL LEFT.

MYLES, I'M SORRY, OK?

I'M SORRY, MYLES. MAYBE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MYSELF.

[FRANK CLEARS THROAT]

WELL, DON'T STOP NOW. THIS IS JUST GETTING GOOD.

I'M SORRY, OK?

I MEAN, I NEVER THOUGHT YOU GUYS

WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ME.

YOU GUYS NEVER SEEMED LIKE YOU CARED,

SO I NEVER BOTHERED...

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

[MOESHA] IT TURNS OUT DOCTOR WOODS WAS PRETTY GOOD FOR US.

I MEAN, WITHOUT HER, WE NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT MYLES WAS FEELING,

AND I NEVER WOULD HAVE REALIZED I HAD A FEW ISSUES MYSELF.

GUESS EVERY FAMILY HAS SOME.

I'M JUST SO GLAD WE'RE DEALING WITH OURS.

BEFORE THEY PULL US APART.

[CHEERFUL NOISES]
