Major's picture of me was a wake-Up call.
Arthur, this looks nothing like you.
Except for maybe the monkey hands.

All my life I've been ashamed of my teeth.
It's what's held me back.
Yeah, it was the teeth, Not the violent outbursts.
Yeah.
My orthodontist said i would only have to wear the braces i'll be a new man.
I'd finally be able to approach a woman Without coquettishly waving a fan over my mouth.
Arthur, your teeth are fine.
Douglas, your deep affection for me Has blinded you to the truth.
Look at these "before" pictures.
This is an extreme close-Up of my upper mouth.

Come on! Bad- Ooh, killed him.
Ok, what's up? Uh, you know my dad talked to me about the braces.
Braces.
I gotta say, one thing about your father Is he's never boring.
Actually, he's always boring, but that was funny! Actually, i-I kinda told him That he can get 'em.
What? Car-Are you crazy? What, doug? What am i supposed to say? He really wanted them.
He wants a lot of things! He wants a helicopter, he wants me to bankroll his muffin shop.
Come on, now.
You can say no you know.
That's how you keep from spoiling him.
Jeez.
Look, doug, I know it's expensive, Ok, but i think it'll really help His self-Esteem down the road.
Down the road? Car, i don't know if you know this, But his exit's coming up pretty quick.
Ok, if i was him, i'd get into the right lane about now.
Ok, you're right.
It is ridiculous, But he's my father.
How am i supposed to tell him It's too late to get braces? Easy, you just say, "look, we're not getting you braces "For the same reason we don't get you "The big bottle of shampoo at costco.
Because time's not exactly on your side.
" There's the guy.
Dad, he didn't mean- No, no.
He's absolutely right.
For a second there i thought i had a future.
Thank you, douglas, for setting straight A foolish old man.
No problem.
So what do you think, huh? Hello? Yeah- Danny, i told you not to call me here When i'm working.
Yeah, well- I'm not jumping down your throat, I'm just asking for a little consideration.
All right-No.
You know? We- We will talk - We will talk about this later.
All right? Good-Bye! Was that your wife? No, just The most exasperating man in the world.
Oh.
Don't you guys worry, ok? I'm-I'm gonna be here for a long time.
Can i interest you in some of my Huevos rancheros? I'm good.
Stop staring at his mouth.
I can't, carrie.
It looks like he ate a bird.
By the by, douglas, Could you float me $50? I'll give you 20 to face the other direction.
What do you need the money for, dad? For this application.
In the spirit of the new and improved me, I've decided to go back to school.
Really? The university of texas? Ok, that's nice, but i'm pretty sure You could take classes at queensborough community college for free.
Was queensborough named The number one party school in america? I don't think so.
Arthur, you just got braces.
I'm not paying for you to go away to college, ok? Really? Is it because i'm too old to finish A bottle of shampoo? Why don't you try starting a bottle of shampoo? Corn meal works better At half the price! All right.
All right.
Dad, let me look this over, ok? I'll get back to you.
Great.
Fyi, san diego state Is my safety school.
Ha ha ha! Hey, check this out, man.

What are you talking about? Well, a couple of months ago he made a picture of kelly.
To draw her butt, he traced a paint can.
She took one look at that And started hittin' the treadmill in a big way.
Really? God is good, bro.
You think major would draw a picture of carrie? What for? She doesn't need to lose weight.
Oh, i know, but there are other improvements That, you know hmm? Even smaller.
You gotta make them smaller.
But that's how she looks.
Ok, you know what, give me this.
