But maybe now is
a good time for us
to talk about the house rules.
To talk about the house rules.

- You already know most of them.
Help out the family.
Use your words
when you're upset.
Use your words

You're gonna short circuit
our nervous systems

The rules don't even seem fair.

- Most of the time, you barely
even have to think about them.
And when you do,
I'll help you, T.
And when you do,
I'll help you, T.
- [sighs] Fine.

Mom always knows.

Be good.
