Jason: Alright lady drop that spatula or you're scrambled. Maggie: Go ahead, make my day. Well, I guess I showed you. Jason: Show me more Maggie: Oh Jason, the kids. Jason: I can kiss the kids later. You know I read an article that said that two career couples should really make a special effort to always remain...frisky. Maggie: At breakfast? Jason: At all meals. Mike: What's the matter? You guys aren't gettin' enough? Jason: Michael, alot of kids would get smacked for a remark like that Mike: Come on dad, you can't hit me you're a liberal humanist. Jason: Could be an accident. Carol: Could be a dream come true. Mike: Mom, can't we sell Carol and get a tape deck for the Volvo? Carol: Mike, you give new meaning to the word vacuous. Mike: Oh yeah? What was the old meaning? Carol: I rest my case. Jason: Ben! Ben! What's so funny Ben? Ben: That Phyllis George, she's screwed up again. Maggie: Hey, what's that you're reading about? Carol: Well it says here that as the universe expands, all matter is degenerating into a state of total disorganisation. Maggie: Thank god I thought it was just me. Mike: So what are you guys doing tonight? "The House of Sweat", yeah great! Hey look can I talk to you guys later, yeah, bye. Maggie: Mike, what is "The House of Sweat"? Carol: It's that new under twenty dance club on Geravo Turnpike. Mike: Yeah, and it sounds like a great idea mom. It's a safe, wholesome place for teens to
congregate. Maggie: And the larger the group, the smaller their brains get. Jason: Oh come on Maggie! Mike: Yeah, come on Maggie! Yes well time to go wait for that school bus; you know if I hurry I can still get a seat in the non-smoking section. Maggie: Good day! Bye sweetheart. Bye Ben, love you! Jason: Catch you later Ben! I still have some paper work to do before my nine o' clock gets here, and if you start feeling frisky and you have eight of ten seconds before work, you know where to find me.
Jason: Good visit Waller, and hey don't worry too much about this thing, ok? See you next week. Bye bye! Mike: Can I talk with you for a second dad? Jason: Sure. Mike: In your office. Kids! Jason: So, you wanted to talk about something... Mike: Yeah, erm, mostly I just wanted to mention how smoothly things have been running, since the wife went back to work, and you moved your practice back into the house.
Jason: Well thankyou. Mike: Dad, we've been friends now for a long time...right? Jason: Off and on, yes Mike: I know, I love that. See dad, you know that dance hall place I mentioned this morning... Jason: "The House of Sweat". Mike: Yeah, yeah. Jerry and I were talking and we decided... Jason: Jerry? Mike: Yeah, Jerry Delish. He's an older friend of mine, an excellent driver, with two years of drivers A. Jason: Two years of drivers A?
Jason: You're workin' a fine line here Mike. Ok look, here's the deal. I'll give you a little more freedom, you've got to promise me alot more responsibility. Mike: Hey, no problem dad. I swear, I am ready for total responsibility Jason: Mike, I'm not ready for total responsibility.
Mike: You're right, sorry. Jason: Ok? You go out and have a good time. Just remember what we talked about. Mike: Absolutely dad, thanks, I promise. Wait, what about mom, what if she's mad? Jason: Mike, your mom's not an ogre...I'll talk to her she'll understand
Maggie: You let him do what? Jason: Maggie, he's fifteen years old now. Maggie: So what! He's fifteen! It's completely arbitrary to just pick an age like that, and say
that is when a kid is mature. Jason: You know that by the time Mozart was fifteen, he'd written seven symphonies. Maggie: That's because Mozart's father didn't let him go to "The House of Sweat". Who did he go with? Jason: I don't know. Some kid...Jerry Dolish, Dellish. Maggie: Jerry "dog killer" Dellish. Jason: Maggie, he hit one dog. Maggie: Yeah, but he hit it four times Jason: Ok, well, err, Mike isn't Jerry, and a kid needs some freedom in order to learn responsibility.
Jason: Well I slipped some sleeping pills into their Gatorine. They'll be asleep for about three weeks. Maggie: Jason! Jason: Well I didn't really, but they are fffrrrr, and we can frrefderrtt!!!! Hello. Yeah this is
Jason Seaver. No you must be looking for someone else because....take your clothes off...no, no, our Mike is only fifteen, so he wouldn't be driving a car..I see. Maggie: What did he say? Jason: He said, that's why your Mike is in our jail.
prisoner: What are you in for kid? Mike: I killed a man, just to watch him die. You? prisoner: Unpaid parking tickets.
Mike: Oh no it's my mom! Jason: Come on Maggie, we don't even know the facts yet. I mean it's not so unusual for a teenage boy to have a minor run-in with the police. Some of these guys can be real macho headbangers. policeman: Hiya! You folks care for some hot cocoa? I just made a fresh pot. Jason: look, we're the Seavers. You've locked up our son. An officer claimed he was driving a car. policeman: Ah yes sir, we...er...picked him up in the "House of Sweat" parking lot. He was driving in circles for approximately twelve minutes.
Jason: Maggie, don't patronize me!! Ok?! And where the hell are my pyjamas? Maggie: Gee I'm sorry I'm really not sure. Jason: Well you wouldn't think it would be so damned tough to keep tabs on a pair of pyjamas around here!!!! Maggie: Jason, I don't understand why you're so upset. I mean it's not like this is the first time he's screwed up. Jason: Who's screwed up? Maggie: Mike.
Jason: Who said anything about Mike. I'm upset because I can't find my pyjamas. I mean if you'd left a pair of pyjamas around...and these are big pyjamas I'm talking about...and they just vanished into thin air...well wouldn't you be pretty upset ?!!!!! Maggie: Absolutely. In fact I'm amazed at the way you're holding it together.
Mike: What? Carol: I...I've never seen dad, actually too mad to talk. Mike: Well thanks for your support, you know I feel like a new man now. Carol: I'm sorry. Look it's not so bad, I bet in a year he'll look back on this whole thing and laugh. Ok, maybe chuckle.
Jason: Ok, I admit it...I'm upset with Mike. Maggie: Oh? Jason: Aren't you?
Jason: Uh-uh. Mike: Oh, still angry? Hey dad, I know this is no excuse, but Jerry's car handles really badly. And I was the one who decided that Jerry was too drunk to drive.
Jason: Mike he was unconscious. Mike: I know. Jason: and what are you doing with a kid who drinks like that? Mike: I should have called you. Jason: Why didn't you? Mike: Well dad there were these girls there... Jason: Ah course! wouldn't want them to think you had parents. Mike what kind of relationship are we gonna have if I can't trust you?
Mike: I guess I'm just a jerk, maybe you shouldn't trust me. Jason: Well that's certainly one way to go. That's the way my father went with me. I guess I hoped that when I had a son it would be different. Mike: I know dad. Jason: Mike you probably don't remember this but, when you were three weeks old, I took you to the Mets home opener, cradled you in my arms...up comes Don Clendenin...hits a shot of the left field score board to win in the twelfth. I hugged you real tight, jumped you up and down, and you, you threw up in your complimentary Mets batting container. Mike: I'm sorry dad.
Jason: Will you stop saying that! Mike: Does mom know about this? Jason: You kidding? How do you think we met? Mike: Alright dad! Hey dad you ever get the urge to do dumb stuff now? Jason: No. No, no I don't Mike. I think that's what being an adult is all about. Mike: Oh. Alright, good night dad. Jason: Night son. Hey! Come back in here for a second.
Maggie: (singing) I feel the earth move under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down, a tumbling down. I feel my heart start to tremble whenever you're around...ooohh baby when I see your face.
ben, carol and Mike: (singing) Blue river, wider than the.....

17. Jason: No dice?
18. Mike: No. Jerry was sure he’d be able to get those tickets from his friend Chichi, but...
19. Maggie: Chichi? Jason, our son knows people named Chichi?
20. Jason: Maggie, we cannot judge somebody’s on the base of a name. Anyway, Mike you will say.
21. Mike: Yes, Chichi’s parole officer didn't think it would be such a good idea for him to scout tickets so close to the trial.
22. Jason: Good judgments there Chichi.
23. Maggie: We are sorry, honey.
39. Mike: Ok, fine.
40. Jason: Mike, at least you still have that jacket, right?

51. Carol: Mom.
52. Maggie: Carol, a Mom's gonna do what a Mom's gonna do? Son, bring in my Camembert.
53. Ben: All right, we are going in with the big guns.
54. Carol: Oh, Mom. I mean they are cute, harmless, little creatures.
55. Maggie: Carol, these are the same guys who carried the plague all through Europe during the tenth century and killed millions of people.
72. Mike: Yes, sure, Dad.
73. Jason: No, I do. I really do. You know I didn't want to bring it up this morning and depress you. But I have seen Springsteen in concert.
74. Mike: You have?
75. Jason: Huh, ten years ago.
76. Mike: Really? What was it like?
77. Jason: Amazing. I mean the guy completely blows your doors up.
78. Mike: Oh, God. I don't wanna hear this.
79. Jason: He made me feel so …
80. Mike: Please.
81. Jason: free!
82. Mike: Dad.
83. Jason: I was gonna just walk out of that concert and hitchhiked right across the country.
84. Mike: Stop.
85. Jason: Sorry. Mike, if you had one wish right now. One thing, what would it be?
86. Mike: Dad, I am really not in the mood for this.
87. Jason: Come on, Mike, come on, come on. Tell me one thing that would make you the happiest guy in the world. What would it be?
88. Mike: A solid girl dancer
89. Jason: Alright, two wishes.
90. Mike: Front row tickets to the Springsteen concert.
91. Jason: Would the 7th row be alright?
92. Mike: Come on, Dad. Don't toy with my emotions. Huntington dry cleaning, three shirts, clean pressed, no starch. Thanks Dad. That was my third wish.
93. Jason: Ok, ok. Sorry wrong pocket. How about these?
94. Mike: Kick, Dad, you know what these are? These are Springsteen tickets.
95. Jason: Really?
96. Mike: I can't believe it, how did you get them?
97. Jason: Well, Mike, your Mom and I made a big decision: we could either afford to send you
98. Mike: You made the right choice. I can't believe it, two tickets to Springsteen. Wait till I tell Jerry. He's gonna freak.
99. Jason: Hey, wait a minute. Show some compassion. When Jerry finds out we are going. It's
101. Jason: Hey, Mike you don't really mind going to the concert with your old man.

113. Boner: Seaver. Did you just score tickets?
114. Mike: Did I say I was gonna score tickets? wala
115. Eddie: Outrageous. Where did you get these?
116. Mike: I have my connections.
117. Eddie: So, Mikey, buddy, broski just how many tickets have you got here?

120. Mike: Sorry guys. No can do.
121. Eddie: Ok, can I be perspective. Let me guess. Peggy Zelinsky, right?
your father, it doesn’t mean that there’s anything weird or uncool about it? You guys breath a word of this to anybody and you’re dead meat.
138. Reporter: One fascinating aspect of tonight’s crowd is its broad age range, and if I am not mistaken, evidence of this cross generation appeal is right here. Excuse me, young man, did you attend this evening’s concert with your father?
139. Mike: Who wants to know?
140. Reporter:. All of the Tri-state area. This is the news line, New York. Sir, is this your son?
141. Jason: Hey the big fella here? Not only is this my son,this is my best buddy
142. Reporter: Tell me Sir, isn't it unusual for a father and son to attend a rock roll concert
together.
143. Jason: No, no way. Not in our family not in any familythat loves each other, right?
144. Reporter: Young man, anything you'd like to say to your friends at school?
