Right, dad.
I mean it's like When i would take you to the pool.
Not quite.
What are you talking about? We would go swimming every saturday And we'd have a wonderful time.
Uh, no, we wouldn't go swimming.
Uh, i had to wait in the car while you did water aerobics.
That's how i kept in shape.
Besides, someone had to feed the meter.
I understand that.
But would it have killed you just to crack the window a little bit? Nothing was ever good enough for princess carrie.
Princess, ok.
Dad, i don't know many princesses Who had to pack up in the middle of the night And move every month.
I had bad luck with landlords.
No, not bad luck.
You just didn't pay the rent, so they kicked us out.
Well, i would have been able to pay the rent If i didn't have an ungrateful child Messing up all my inventions.
Ok, are you talking about the turnip peeler? Because that wasn't an invention, It was a potato peeler with a fancy handle.
I mean, i was 8, and i knew that.
That's outrageous.
You know what, dad? When i saw you at the video store tonight, i was just going To pretend like i didn't see you and keep walking.
Then i thought, "no he's your dad, it'd be nice To sit and watch a video with him.
" Next time, i'm just going to keep walking.
That attitude is why i never took you swimming! Well, looks like you're sleeping in the car tonight.
So, she knows you're a guy? Look, every relationship has its little secrets.
I just want to see where this one goes.
Yeah, i'll tell you where.

Oh, i guess the captain of the football team isn't somebody.
Captain- Justin rayvo?! Yep.
He's out like trout, And he wants a piece of this.
What exactly are you planning on doing with him? I don't know.
Throw back a couple beers, watch some tube, Who knows? You're just doing this to mess me up.
You're pathetic.
I'm pathetic? At least someone here Thinks i'm an attractive man.
Oh, well, you know what? At least at the end of my rainbow There's a vagina.
