WHERE-WHERE ARE ALL THE JOKES ABOUT THE TIME DANNY GOT DRUNK AND SLEPT WITH A FAT CHICK, OR HOW BIG OF A SLU ALICE IS? UGH, THAT'S NOT A TOAST! THAT'S A LOVE LETTER, MAN.
COME ON! PUNCH IT UP AND GET BACK TO ME.
YOU TOLD MY MOM THERE WASN' GONNA BE ANY DANCING? OH.
YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT? UH, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU-YOU SAID YOU WANTED ME TO TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN PLANNING OUR WEDDING.
AND SO THERE.
I-I DID.
WHY DID YOU CANCEL THE DANCING? I DON'T KNOW.
DANNY.
I DON'T KNOW! DANNY! I THINK I MIGHT BE INAPPROPRIATELY ATTRACTED TO YOUR MOM! THIS THIS ISN'T FUNNY.
YES, IT IS.
OKAY, WELL, UH, HOW-HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN IT, HUH? YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE WE-WE-WE HAVE CHEMISTRY.
YOU KNOW-WHAT-YOU SAW US OUT THERE.
WE WERE SENSATIONAL.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT HAVING A FIRST DANCE AT OUR WEDDING? BECAUSE YOU'RE WORRIED YOU'RE HOT FOR MY MOM? WELL, I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS.
OH, DANNY, YOU GOT YOURSELF ALL SCREWED UP ABOUT THIS.
WE'RE JUS BOTH UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE.
FORGET ABOUT MY MOM.
WE'RE GREAT DANCERS, AND WE ARE GONNA KICK SO MUCH ASS ON THAT DANCE FLOOR TONIGHT.
COME ON, LET'S TRY AGAIN.
YOU'LL SEE.
AT LAST OW! SORRY.
OW! DANNY! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GO TO THE LEFT.
OKAY, STOP.
THIS IS ENOUGH.
MY LOVE HAS COME ALONG SO THE DANCING? THERE IS NO DANCING! MY LONELY DAYS HEY, WHEN DID YOU START PLAYING THE BASS? WHEN I WAS 11.
NEATO.
ANYWAY LOOK WHAT I HAVE.
THAT'S MY OVEN.
YEAH, I FOUND IT WHILE I WAS PRETENDING TO LOOK FOR YOUR MOTHER'S OLD DANCE SHOES.
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT I CHERISH MEMORIES FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD, TOO.
I USED TO LOVE THIS THING.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU REMEMBERED.
OF COURSE I REMEMBERED.
BECCA, YOU WERE MY FIRST BORN.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY YOU MAKE ME? DAD.
AW.
HEY, REMEMBER THE FIRE? WHAT? OH! THAT'S RIGHT.
I FORGOT.
YOU USED YOUR LITTLE OVEN TO SET FIRE TO YOUR MOTHER'S NEW DRAPES.
THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH YOU? NO, YOU CANNOT BE MAD AT ME I WAS GROUNDED FOR, LIKE, MONTHS.
I SERVED MY TIME.
I JUST NEVER UNDERSTOOD YOU.
IT WAS LIKE YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO GET INTO TROUE.
LIKE THE TIME I GOT A CALL TO COME HOME FROM WORK EARLY BECAUSE YOU-YOU STUCK CANDLES IN YOUR SISTER'S EAR.
YEAH, I REMEMBER.
THAT WAS MY SIXTH GRADE GRADUATION PARTY.
OR WHAT ABOUT THE TIME I HAD TO LEAVE THE SEMINAR IN BOSTON BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO FAKE APPENDICITIS? YEAH, WELL, APPARENTLY,IN THE STUDENT ASSEMBLY WASN'T ENOUGH TO GET YOU HOME.
I WAS WORKING.
YOU WERE ALWAYS WORKING.
LOOK, BECCA, I WAS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF MY RESIDENCY.
I WAS WORKING 36-HOUR SHIFTS.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FREE TIME.
I AM NOT FREE TIME! GOD! UH, HONEY, THAT- THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! COME ON! LET'S-LET'S BAKE SOMETHING! HELL, LET'S SET SOMETHING ON FIRE! YOU SHOULD BE THE BEST MAN? WHY SHOULD YOU BE THEEST MAN? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OKAY, YOU ARE LIKE THAT FRIEND OF PINOCCHIO'S THAT TOOK HIM TO PLEASURE ISLAND.
I DON'T WAN DANNY TURNING INTO A DONKEY! YOU THINK I'M A BAD INFLUENCE ON DANNY? THAT'S CRAZY! WHEN YOU WENT TO MEXICO LAST SUMMER, YOU LOST HIM IN A POKER GAME! IT IS A GAME OF CHANCE, OKAY? HE KNEW THE RISKS.
AND BESIDES, NEXT SEMESTER, HE SAILED THROUGH SPANISH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CHOSE YOU OVER ME.
WELL, HE DID, THAT I HAVE NOTHING BESIDES HIS FRIENDSHIP.
THAT'S WHY I'M THE GUY HOLDING THRINGS.
JOHNNY, YOU HAVEN'T BY ANY CHANCE SEEN THE RINGS, HAVE YOU? ALICE, DO YOU HAVE A NUMBER FOR THE BAND? WHY? BECAUSE IF THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY DANCING, IT SEEMS WASTEFUL TO HAVE A BAND.
THERE'S STILL GONNA BE DANCING, JUST NO SPOTLIGHT DANCES.
OH, JUST ASSUMED SINCE YOU STRIPPED ME OF MY FUN, YOU WOULD WANT TO STRIP ALL THE GUESTS OF THEIR FUN, TOO.
GIVE ME A BREA YOU JUST WANNA OUTSHINE ME AT MY OWN WEDDING.
I DON'T WAN TO OUTSHINE YOU.
IF ANYTHING, I WANT TO BASK IN YOUR GLOW.
BUT- LOOK AT YO YOU ARE AN INTELLIGENT, LOVELY, CARING YOUNG WOMAN.
IS IT SO TERRIBLE FOR ME TO WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BOW FOR RAISING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER? OH, MOM.
ALL I WAN IS TWO MINUTES TO SHINE.
OF COURSE.
OH, SWEETIE.
ONE SECOND OVER, AND I'M CUTTING THE MUSIC.
UNDERSTOOD.
HEY, DANNY.
COME HERE.
DOES THIS LO LIKE A BECCA "B" TO YOU? UH, NO, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ALICE "A" YOU TRIED TO TURN INTO A BECCA "B.
" DAMN IT.
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING OF BECCA'S IN HERE.
A MACARONI FRAME, A HAND TURKEY AW, ALICE MADE ME A FINGER PUPPET.
BOOP, BOOP, BOOP.
HEY, LISTEN, I'M SORRY ABOUT CANCELING THE SPOTLIGHT DANCES TONIGHT.
I'M SURE YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO DANCING WITH ALICE.
YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.
I'D JUST PISS BECCA OFF.
YOU'RE COOL WITH IT? RELIEVED'S MORE LIKE IT.
IT MEANS I DON' HAVE TO DANCE WITH JANE.
YOU EVER DANCE WITH MY WIFE? NO.
MAYBE.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
WHAT? SHE'S THE WORST.
SHE JUST PUSHES YOU AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR LIKE SHE'S VACUUMING A RUG.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SHE LEADS.
SHE GRABS ON TO YOU AND TAKES TOTAL CONTROL.
JUST LIKE SHE TRIES TO DO WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE.
SHE LEADS.
HEY! I KNOW WHY WE'RE TERRIBLE TOGETHER.
YOU SURE YOU WANNA TELL ME NOW, OR SAVE IT FOR OUR VOWS? NO, I'M-I'M-I'M SERIOUS.
NO, I FIGURED OUT WHY I DANCED SO WELL WITH YOUR MOM.
IT'S BECAUSE SHE LEADS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WELL, SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE A MOM, MY DAD HAD TO TEACH ME HOW TO DANCE, AND HE WOULD ALWAYS TAKE THE MAN'S PART.
AND SO I GUESS I NEVER REALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO LEAD.
REALLY? YEAH.
SO, UM I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD WELL, OR YOU COULD, UH, TRY-TRY TO, UM, YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAD? YEAH.
AND YOU DON'T MIND? NO.
NO, I MEAN, THERE'S- THERE'S PLENTY OF OTHER AREAS WHERE I LEAD.
LIKE, UH WELL, ONE IN PARTICULAR.
YEAH, BUT SOMETIMES I LEAD THERE, TOO.
WELL, YES, BUT I LIKE THAT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEX, RIGHT? RIGHT.
NO, I KNEW THAT.
MAY I COME IN? LISTEN, JUST BECAUSE I WAS BUILDING A CAREER, IT'S NO EXCUSE FOR NEGLECTING YOU.
YOU'RE WAY TOO IMPORTANT.
AND IF YOU WOULD AT ALL CONSIDER IT I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT RECITAL I MISSED.
REALLY? OKAY.
I MEAN, I ONLY HAVE MY BASS.
AND AT THE END OF MY SECOND NUMBER, WE'LL BRING THE LIGHTS DOWN FOMY SONG.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE MUSICAL "HAIR"? OH, I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE IT.
UM, BUT MY FATHER WAS BORN HAIRLESS, AND THAT SHOW TOUCHED NERVE.
OH, OH! I FOUND THEM! IT'S ANOTHER CURTAIN RING.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CURTAIN RINGS ON THE FLOOR? DON'T YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT? NOPE.
COULDN'T IT BE SOME PATIENT ON THE, LIKE, BRINK OF DEATH? NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.
DAD, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT.
YEAH.
HEY, COME WITH ME TO THE HOSPITAL.
IT'LL BE THE "TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY" WE NEVER HAD.

YOU WROTE MY TOAST? THANKS, BROTHER.
I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU, SKOBO.
I DID IT FOR DANNY.
WHATEVER.
THE POINT IS, I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.
OH.
READ ME WHAT YOU GOT.
"DANNY FRIEND.
"HERE I AM, WATCHING YOU EMBARK THE NEXT SEASON OF YOUR LIFE.
"STRONG, CONFIDENT, WISE BEYOND YOUR YEARS.
"AND WHILE I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH WHAT WE'VE SHARED TOGETHER, "IT'S TIME TO LET YOU FLY.
"BUT KNOW I WILL ALWAYS KEEP A PERCH FOR YOU HERE, TO REST YOUR WEARY WINGS.
" UGH! WHAT? THAT? THAT-THAT'S CRAP.
WHERE-WHERE ARE ALL THE JOKES ABOUT THE TIME DANNY GOT DRUNK AND SLEPT WITH A FAT CHICK, OR HOW BIG OF A SLU ALICE IS? UGH, THAT'S NOT A TOAST! THAT'S A LOVE LETTER, MAN.
COME ON! PUNCH IT UP AND GET BACK TO ME.
YOU TOLD MY MOM THERE WASN' GONNA BE ANY DANCING? OH.
YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT? UH, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU-YOU SAID YOU WANTED ME TO TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN PLANNING OUR WEDDING.
AND SO THERE.
I-I DID.
WHY DID YOU CANCEL THE DANCING? I DON'T KNOW.
DANNY.
I DON'T KNOW! DANNY! I THINK I MIGHT BE INAPPROPRIATELY ATTRACTED TO YOUR MOM! THIS THIS ISN'T FUNNY.
YES, IT IS.
OKAY, WELL, UH, HOW-HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN IT, HUH? YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE WE-WE-WE HAVE CHEMISTRY.
YOU KNOW-WHAT-YOU SAW US OUT THERE.
WE WERE SENSATIONAL.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT HAVING A FIRST DANCE AT OUR WEDDING? BECAUSE YOU'RE WORRIED YOU'RE HOT FOR MY MOM? WELL, I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS.
OH, DANNY, YOU GOT YOURSELF ALL SCREWED UP ABOUT THIS.
WE'RE JUS BOTH UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE.
FORGET ABOUT MY MOM.
WE'RE GREAT DANCERS, AND WE ARE GONNA KICK SO MUCH ASS ON THAT DANCE FLOOR TONIGHT.
COME ON, LET'S TRY AGAIN.
YOU'LL SEE.
AT LAST OW! SORRY.
OW! DANNY! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GO TO THE LEFT.
OKAY, STOP.
THIS IS ENOUGH.
MY LOVE HAS COME ALONG SO THE DANCING? THERE IS NO DANCING! MY LONELY DAYS HEY, WHEN DID YOU START PLAYING THE BASS? WHEN I WAS 11.
NEATO.
ANYWAY LOOK WHAT I HAVE.
THAT'S MY OVEN.
YEAH, I FOUND IT WHILE I WAS PRETENDING TO LOOK FOR YOUR MOTHER'S OLD DANCE SHOES.
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT I CHERISH MEMORIES FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD, TOO.
I USED TO LOVE THIS THING.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU REMEMBERED.
OF COURSE I REMEMBERED.
BECCA, YOU WERE MY FIRST BORN.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY YOU MAKE ME? DAD.
AW.
HEY, REMEMBER THE FIRE? WHAT? OH! THAT'S RIGHT.
I FORGOT.
YOU USED YOUR LITTLE OVEN TO SET FIRE TO YOUR MOTHER'S NEW DRAPES.
THAT'S WHY I TOOK IT AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH YOU? NO, YOU CANNOT BE MAD AT ME I WAS GROUNDED FOR, LIKE, MONTHS.
I SERVED MY TIME.
I JUST NEVER UNDERSTOOD YOU.
IT WAS LIKE YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO GET INTO TROUE.
LIKE THE TIME I GOT A CALL TO COME HOME FROM WORK EARLY BECAUSE YOU-YOU STUCK CANDLES IN YOUR SISTER'S EAR.
YEAH, I REMEMBER.
THAT WAS MY SIXTH GRADE GRADUATION PARTY.
OR WHAT ABOUT THE TIME I HAD TO LEAVE THE SEMINAR IN BOSTON BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO FAKE APPENDICITIS? YEAH, WELL, APPARENTLY,IN THE STUDENT ASSEMBLY WASN'T ENOUGH TO GET YOU HOME.
I WAS WORKING.
YOU WERE ALWAYS WORKING.
LOOK, BECCA, I WAS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF MY RESIDENCY.
I WAS WORKING 36-HOUR SHIFTS.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FREE TIME.
I AM NOT FREE TIME! GOD! UH, HONEY, THAT- THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! COME ON! LET'S-LET'S BAKE SOMETHING! HELL, LET'S SET SOMETHING ON FIRE! YOU SHOULD BE THE BEST MAN? WHY SHOULD YOU BE THEEST MAN? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT OKAY, YOU ARE LIKE THAT FRIEND OF PINOCCHIO'S THAT TOOK HIM TO PLEASURE ISLAND.
I DON'T WAN DANNY TURNING INTO A DONKEY! YOU THINK I'M A BAD INFLUENCE ON DANNY? THAT'S CRAZY! WHEN YOU WENT TO MEXICO LAST SUMMER, YOU LOST HIM IN A POKER GAME! IT IS A GAME OF CHANCE, OKAY? HE KNEW THE RISKS.
AND BESIDES, NEXT SEMESTER, HE SAILED THROUGH SPANISH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CHOSE YOU OVER ME.
WELL, HE DID, THAT I HAVE NOTHING BESIDES HIS FRIENDSHIP.
THAT'S WHY I'M THE GUY HOLDING THRINGS.
JOHNNY, YOU HAVEN'T BY ANY CHANCE SEEN THE RINGS, HAVE YOU? ALICE, DO YOU HAVE A NUMBER FOR THE BAND? WHY? BECAUSE IF THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY DANCING, IT SEEMS WASTEFUL TO HAVE A BAND.
THERE'S STILL GONNA BE DANCING, JUST NO SPOTLIGHT DANCES.
OH, JUST ASSUMED SINCE YOU STRIPPED ME OF MY FUN, YOU WOULD WANT TO STRIP ALL THE GUESTS OF THEIR FUN, TOO.
GIVE ME A BREA YOU JUST WANNA OUTSHINE ME AT MY OWN WEDDING.
I DON'T WAN TO OUTSHINE YOU.
IF ANYTHING, I WANT TO BASK IN YOUR GLOW.
BUT- LOOK AT YO YOU ARE AN INTELLIGENT, LOVELY, CARING YOUNG WOMAN.
IS IT SO TERRIBLE FOR ME TO WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BOW FOR RAISING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER? OH, MOM.
ALL I WAN IS TWO MINUTES TO SHINE.
OF COURSE.
OH, SWEETIE.
ONE SECOND OVER, AND I'M CUTTING THE MUSIC.
UNDERSTOOD.
HEY, DANNY.
COME HERE.
DOES THIS LO LIKE A BECCA "B" TO YOU? UH, NO, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ALICE "A" YOU TRIED TO TURN INTO A BECCA "B.
" DAMN IT.
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING OF BECCA'S IN HERE.
A MACARONI FRAME, A HAND TURKEY AW, ALICE MADE ME A FINGER PUPPET.
BOOP, BOOP, BOOP.
HEY, LISTEN, I'M SORRY ABOUT CANCELING THE SPOTLIGHT DANCES TONIGHT.
I'M SURE YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO DANCING WITH ALICE.
YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST.
I'D JUST PISS BECCA OFF.
YOU'RE COOL WITH IT? RELIEVED'S MORE LIKE IT.
IT MEANS I DON' HAVE TO DANCE WITH JANE.
YOU EVER DANCE WITH MY WIFE? NO.
MAYBE.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
WHAT? SHE'S THE WORST.
SHE JUST PUSHES YOU AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR LIKE SHE'S VACUUMING A RUG.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SHE LEADS.
SHE GRABS ON TO YOU AND TAKES TOTAL CONTROL.
JUST LIKE SHE TRIES TO DO WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE.
SHE LEADS.
HEY! I KNOW WHY WE'RE TERRIBLE TOGETHER.
YOU SURE YOU WANNA TELL ME NOW, OR SAVE IT FOR OUR VOWS? NO, I'M-I'M-I'M SERIOUS.
NO, I FIGURED OUT WHY I DANCED SO WELL WITH YOUR MOM.
IT'S BECAUSE SHE LEADS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WELL, SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE A MOM, MY DAD HAD TO TEACH ME HOW TO DANCE, AND HE WOULD ALWAYS TAKE THE MAN'S PART.
AND SO I GUESS I NEVER REALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO LEAD.
REALLY? YEAH.
SO, UM I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD WELL, OR YOU COULD, UH, TRY-TRY TO, UM, YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAD? YEAH.
AND YOU DON'T MIND? NO.
NO, I MEAN, THERE'S- THERE'S PLENTY OF OTHER AREAS WHERE I LEAD.
LIKE, UH WELL, ONE IN PARTICULAR.
YEAH, BUT SOMETIMES I LEAD THERE, TOO.
WELL, YES, BUT I LIKE THAT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEX, RIGHT? RIGHT.
NO, I KNEW THAT.
MAY I COME IN? LISTEN, JUST BECAUSE I WAS BUILDING A CAREER, IT'S NO EXCUSE FOR NEGLECTING YOU.
YOU'RE WAY TOO IMPORTANT.
AND IF YOU WOULD AT ALL CONSIDER IT I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT RECITAL I MISSED.
REALLY? OKAY.
I MEAN, I ONLY HAVE MY BASS.
AND AT THE END OF MY SECOND NUMBER, WE'LL BRING THE LIGHTS DOWN FOMY SONG.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE MUSICAL "HAIR"? OH, I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE IT.
UM, BUT MY FATHER WAS BORN HAIRLESS, AND THAT SHOW TOUCHED NERVE.
OH, OH! I FOUND THEM! IT'S ANOTHER CURTAIN RING.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CURTAIN RINGS ON THE FLOOR? DON'T YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT? NOPE.
COULDN'T IT BE SOME PATIENT ON THE, LIKE, BRINK OF DEATH? NOBODY LIVES FOREVER.
DAD, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT.
YEAH.
HEY, COME WITH ME TO THE HOSPITAL.
IT'LL BE THE "TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY" WE NEVER HAD.
REALLY? DID YOU EVER TAKE ALICE? JUST THAT TIME YOU PUSHED HER OUT OF THE TREE HOUSE.
LET'S GO.
