How could you do something that stupid? You just don't know what cool is.
Well, Lily's locked herself in the bathroom, but she assures me she's absolutely thuper.
Oh, good.
I can't find my clean clothes for work.
You picked up the dry cleaning, right? Oh, yeah, right, I would have, see, but I forgot to drop them off.
I was parenting.
Henry, hey.
Oh, hey, buddy, where'd you get those doughnuts? They're free over at the doughnut shop.
Really? Yeah.
They just leave 'em out back in the alley at the end of the day.
They're nice and crunchy.
Uh, hey.
Henry.
Henry, Henry, hey, hey, ho, ho.
Hey, buddy, we had a rule in this house, ok? We don't eat from the garbage.
You never told me about that.
We didn't think we had to, honey.
It's like drinking out of the toilet.
Oh, great.
Another rule.
Weren't you watching him? What? What? Hey, I'm the one who caught him with the dumpster doughnuts.
Oh, that's very comforting.
Babe, babe, come on.
Keep your eyes on the prize, ok? Cancún.
Ok, this could be you and me, all right? Sun drenched beaches and snorkeling for the kids, and the windsurfer, and, ooh, look at the size of that lobster, huh? And the meals are just fantastic, and everything's included, and and the tropical drinks are so big, you could just you could just take a bath in them.
And then you and me, we're walkin' down the beach at sunset White, white sand Kids are upstairs in their rooms sleeping, and it's just you and me and the crystal clear waters.
Nobody wanted this bear claw, right? I can get it, yeah? Why, why, why? Why do you have to ruin everything? Fine, you have it.
Oh, ugh.
You're throwin' away a perfectly good bear claw? You want it? You're welcome to it.
All right.
Oh, god.
Ok, just tell me everything with Jimmy is ok.
Everything's ok.
Ok or good? Good, now.
I mean, at first, things were shaky.

Could you walk your little brother to school and make sure nothing happens to him? Yeah, sure.
All right, thanks.
Yeah.
Keep that on your head.
Would you guys please cut it out? What are you gonna do, run away again? "My bad.
My bad.
My bad.
" What's so funny? This is between me and him.
Oh, but it's not.
Unh.
Wow, yeah.
That's my girl.
Yeah, she's a scrapper just like her grandma.
Yeah, you know, maybe sending Lily in to fight his battles wasn't the smartest idea.
Where's your sister now? Sean: Sister Helen.
I have office hours, Mr.
finnerty.
Yeah, well, I work during your office hours, sister.
So do I.
Ok, look, I don't know what kind of operation you're running around here, but my son, Jimmy, is gettin' the snot beaten out of him on a daily basis.
We have a policy against fighting here, Jimmy.
Oh, don't look at me.
I'm a big fan of that policy.
Good.
Whoa, whoa, sister Helen, I really need you to deal with this, ok? This is the last thing in the world I need right now.
And, uh, why is that? Well, me and the wife are working crazy hours.
We're saving up to take the family on a vacation.
We're going to, uh, cancún.
It's in the Gulf of Mexico.
Well, I'll need Jimmy to identify the children that have been doing this, and, uh, by the way, cancún is in the Caribbean, not the Gulf of Mexico.
But I can't rat on those guys.
It's some kid named Kyle, but hey.
I do, uh, I know it's the Gulf of Mexico because I have the brochure at home.
Well, Mr.
finnerty, I've been there.
Is it Kyle cocklin? They let you go to cancún? If by "they" you mean "god," yes, he does let me go to cancún.
Wow, isn't it all, like, isn't it, you know, hot underneath the, um The habit? Mm-hmm.
You know, Mr.
finnerty, we can take it off.
We do bathe.
Oh, of course.
I mean, you have to bathe.
Everybody bathes.
It's just i i you know, I meant in public.
I don't wear a thong.
Um, so, are you gonna tell Kyle that I ratted on him? I'll take care of everything, Jimmy, and I hope you all enjoy your trip to the Caribbean.
Uh, the Gulf of Mexico.
Isn't it "Caribbean?" Yes, it is, Henry.
Both are acceptable.
No, they're not.
So, I handled it, and there hasn't been a problem since.
Well, thank god.
I know.
Poor guy.
Having to go through all that.
Poor Jimmy.
Poor Jimmy? What about me? Oh, no, no, no one asked you to get your tongue pierced.
I had no thoice.
You had no what? Thoice.
No thoice.
You had no toys? Choice.
For the love of god, she was saying she had no choice.
Exactly.
It was self-preservation.
Hey, guys.
Does anybody have the bio notes I can copy? Uh-oh.
Are you gonna beat us up for them? What? Oh, I forgot.
You only beat up They were making fun of me.
I had to make myself cool again.
Well, why stop with your tongue? Put a bolt through your neck, you'll be queen of the prom.
I was the laughing stock.
I was desperate.
Girl: Oh, that is so cool.
Wow, look at that.
You think that's cool? No way.
Oh, yeah.
That thing hurt like a bith.
Hey, watch the mouth, miss.
You know, I can't believe that you did this.
Hey, what's the big deal? I got a piercing once.
Oh, pfft.
That went over well.
Whoa.
Hey, Ricky, Mrs.
Delvecchio, check me out.
You like? You like it, right? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ow, ow.
Ah, oh.
Hold still, hold still.
Aah! It hurts like crazy! Aah! I made quite a statement with that chain.
You had it for an hour.
Yeah, but back then, it was rebellious.
It's not like today where you have to get a permission slip from your parents.
You need a permission slip? I had a permission slip.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry.
I overslept.
Come on, I'll make you guys some breakfast, ok? Well, no, mom.
I gotta be at school in 5 minutes.
Ok, have a good day, Henry.
I'm Jimmy.
Mom, can you sign this? My class is going on a field trip to Ellis island.
That's good.
Have fun, babe.
I will.
Coffee.
You lied to me? No, we are going to Ellis island.
I didn't imply that the Hmm-hmm-hmm.
I'm gonna wait for that tongue to heal, and then I'm gonna pull it right out of her head.
I'll hold her down.
Man, if I had been working regular hours, that would never have gotten by me.
Look, baby, if you want to work regular hours, go ahead.
We'll just take the same old regular vacation.
We'll go back to the Jersey shore like we did last year.
Pfft.
Nice day, huh? Well, it's hot.
Mmm.
Good news, folks.
Whatever it is, we got it trapped behind the mini fridge.
We sprayed it up pretty good, but it's still kinda snappin', so, I'd wait about an hour or so before you go back in.
When can we go back inside? Um, uh Well, when the thing in there stops Snapping.
Snapping.
Oh, god, not that again.
See? That's why we're workin' so hard.
There's someone at the door! I got it.
I got it.
Ah! Jimmy, what happened to your hand? See, sister? This is what I was talkin' about.
You were right, Mr.
finnerty.
There is a bully problem at school.
Yeah, ok, I tried to tell you that.
The bully is your son.
I hurt my hand punching a guy in the teeth.
Jimmy can't be the bully.
He's never hurt anyone.
Are you suggesting I'm lying? No, no.
W-w-w-w-wait.
Jimmy was the one who was getting picked on.
Oh, oh, no, not any more.
I kicked some serious ass.
Jimmy.
Hey, hey, Jimmy.
Let's go into the kitchen and make sister Helen some tea, ok? Why? Come on! Um, you know, I just got made an Usher at the 9:30 mass.
Oh, that's nice.
Jimmy, tell me what the hell happened in school.
Henry W-w-where'd you get that? I earned it.
Henry, you can't do that.
Oh, so first I'm not allowed to root through dumpsters, and now I'm not allowed to beg for food.
How am I supposed to eat? I cook for you.
Macaroni and cheese.
It's all you ever make.
Yeah, because you love it.
I used to.
We ate it Henry, hook me up with a dumpling.
Hey, I danced for 'em.
Yeah, your dancin' days are over.
Yeah, and hey, buddy, no more panhandling.
Come on, Jimmy.
What happened, huh? What are you doin' beatin' guys up? I had to.
I mean, after dad got sister Helen involved.
Wait, I i thought she would take care of things.
Oh, yeah.
She did take care of things.
Ow! Ow! Kyle won't bother you again, Jimmy.
I'm gonna get you.
Ow! Oh, god.
Why didn't you come to me? I did, and you just made it worse, so I went to uncle Eddie.
I just happened to be around.
Ok, see this guy? He's not lookin' for a fight.
He's he's filled with inner peace, but these other guys from the chow lin province are gonna push him too far, but right now, he's just takin' it.
Just lookit, they just broke his bowl.
They humiliated him, and he's just sittin' there takin' it.
The fortitude of this guy, just takin' it.
Just taking it.
Yeah, I'm gonna fast forward 'cause this is boring.
He's taking it.
He takes it for a while.
See, all marshal arts are based on the same surprise and misdirection.
Now, say you were gonna kick me.
Show me how you would do it.
No, no, no, you're being obvious.
This is how Steven seagal would do it.
This land belongs to the eskimos, and I'm not gonna let you Boom! This guy is down, and he's not getting up 'Cause I misdirected him by looking over at this guy over here, and then I surprised him by kicking him in the middle of my eskimo speech.
Ok, all right, so what you're saying is Yah! You learn quickly, my young ooh! Man, I can really go for a nice, cold Yah! Finish him off, you know? Waa! Yeah, no mercy.
Eddie's raising our son.
Uh, not exactly.
He Sean! Eddie is raising our son.
Baby, baby.
A simple thank you would be nice.
Uh, no, no, baby.
Just just We're almost there.
Just just keep your eyes on the prize, ok, and then we can be here Here, us, on the beach.
Oh, crystal clear waters lapping at our toes, friendly natives attending to our every whim.
Wait, look.
There's our children.
They're having such a great time.
This is so fantastic.
I've never felt less surly in my life.
I love you, mom.
We're gonna learn about coral reefs.

Pardon me But I'm double parked.
Oh, uh, huh? Can we please finish this? Um, oh, yeah.
I'm sorry, sister.
I was just making you, uh, tea.
Yeah, well, I didn't ask for tea.
I know.
I just made it.
Yeah, I don't want tea.
Ok, uh Look, look, sister Helen, I'm sorry if he got involved in something, but you know Jimmy.
This isn't like him.
Well, what happened in the school yard today was a very ugly scene.
Well, I wasn't asking for trouble.
I was just sitting there, and enjoying my inner peace.
Well, well.
Look who's reading a book.
Is this some kind of girl book, girlie, huh? Oops, looks like you dropped your book.
You are really testing my inner peace.
Aah! Ow! Ow! Ow! Unh! Unh! Unh! Oh! Ooh! Oh.
Good lord.
I'm sorry, but I think Jimmy may be embellishing.
Oh, no.
I don't I don't think no.

It it it's stupid and it's wrong.
It's dangerous.
Yes.
Yes, and and I promise you, sister Helen, we will handle this, 'cause we're good parents, really.
Well, I hope so.
I'm going to be keeping my eye on Jimmy.
As will we.
Do we have some antiseptic? This is really stinging.
What's that in your tongue? Nothing, sister.
I'll see you in detention.

Adios, cancún.
I'm callin' work.
Someone else is gonna have to take my shift.
You know what? I'm gonna cancel my shift tomorrow, too.
Cancún will be there when we're retired, right? Oh, sweetie, I do not wanna see your big, white, 65-year-old ass on a diving board.

Jimmy was the one who was getting picked on.
Oh, oh, no, not any more.
I kicked some serious ass.
Jimmy.
Hey, hey, Jimmy.
Let's go into the kitchen and make sister Helen some tea, ok? Why? Come on! Um, you know, I just got made an Usher at the 9:30 mass.
Oh, that's nice.
Jimmy, tell me what the hell happened in school.
Henry W-w-where'd you get that? I earned it.
Henry, you can't do that.
Oh, so first I'm not allowed to root through dumpsters, and now I'm not allowed to beg for food.
How am I supposed to eat? I cook for you.
Macaroni and cheese.
It's all you ever make.
Yeah, because you love it.
I used to.
We ate it Henry, hook me up with a dumpling.
Hey, I danced for 'em.
Yeah, your dancin' days are over.
Yeah, and hey, buddy, no more panhandling.

What happened, huh? What are you doin' beatin' guys up? I had to.
I mean, after dad got sister Helen involved.
Wait, I i thought she would take care of things.
Oh, yeah.
She did take care of things.
Ow! Ow! Kyle won't bother you again, Jimmy.
I'm gonna get you.
Ow! Oh, god.
Why didn't you come to me? I did, and you just made it worse, so I went to uncle Eddie.
I just happened to be around.
Ok, see this guy? He's not lookin' for a fight.
He's he's filled with inner peace, but these other guys from the chow lin province are gonna push him too far, but right now, he's just takin' it.
Just lookit, they just broke his bowl.
They humiliated him, and he's just sittin' there takin' it.
The fortitude of this guy, just takin' it.
Just taking it.
Yeah, I'm gonna fast forward 'cause this is boring.
He's taking it.
He takes it for a while.
See, all marshal arts are based on the same surprise and misdirection.
Now, say you were gonna kick me.
Show me how you would do it.
No, no, no, you're being obvious.
This is how Steven seagal would do it.
This land belongs to the eskimos, and I'm not gonna let you Boom! This guy is down, and he's not getting up 'Cause I misdirected him by looking over at this guy over here, and then I surprised him by kicking him in the middle of my eskimo speech.
Ok, all right, so what you're saying is Yah! You learn quickly, my young ooh! Man, I can really go for a nice, cold Yah! Finish him off, you know? Waa! Yeah, no mercy.

Well, what happened in the school yard today was a very ugly scene.
Well, I wasn't asking for trouble.
I was just sitting there, and enjoying my inner peace.
Well, well.
