Mike: Man or woman? Ben: I can't tell anymore. Mike: Someone should go check him out. Ben? Jason: Look out. My chicken sauce. Mike: Ah dad, did you se.. Jason: Good, it didn't stick.Mike: Dad, did you notice that there is a ... Jason: So, how was Cadre Four?
Carol: Great.Plumber: Is Maurice still with the show?Carol and Ben: Maurice! Mike: Shut up, both of you.Jason: Buzz, how is it going? Plumber: Almost finished.Jason: Only five and a half hours. At fifty dollars an hour.Ben: Dad, is mum ever coming back? Jason: She'll be back in plenty of time for our candle lit dinner for two. You guys will spend the night at grandmas. Ok?
(Phone rings)
Plumber: Three hundred and forty seven dollars and seventy five cents. Jason: Ah, just out of curiosity, how much would a new garbage disposal cost? Plumber: A hundred and twenty five bucks. Would you like me to install one?
Jason: No, no, thank you Plumber: Bye. Happy anniversary! Mike: Hey dad! You need any more of this junk on your plate? Jason: Nar! I'm not hungry.Carol: Michael. It's fowl. Mike: Tell me about it? Ben: Dad.. Jason: Sorry I wasn't listening.
Mike: Looked like you were. I guess you psychiatrists get pretty used to faking it after all those years of listening to whackoes. Jason: Michael, 'wacko' is a term that psychiatrist reserve for members of their immediate family. Mike: Just kidding. Jason: Well don't! What you've just witnessed is a classic display of displaced anger in which I allowed my frustrations to be vented on the first available person to upset me. This transference lets me lessen my stress and allows me to feel really....stupid.
Mike: You mean they want to "Do Ah Diddy"? Ben: Hey, who lost twenty bucks? Carol and Mike: Where? Ben: Now that I have your attention, why doesn't dad fly to Washington and be with mum tonight?
Mike: I hate it when he does that.
Carol: I'll pack him a bag.
Mike: I'll order the plane tickets.
Ben: And I'll get no credit as usual. Jason: And Mr Waller is showing great improvement in controlling his feeling of inadequacy. The sessions are proving especially useful in decreasing his anniversary. Ignore 'anniversary', Freudian slip. In decreasing his anxiety. Mike: Dad! Jason: I'm working. Ignore I’m working. Teenage son. Mike: Dad!Jason: I'm turning the recorder off now, so as not to have it used against me in a court of law. Mike, this better be important. Mike: Dad, on behalf of all of us...get out! Jason: What's going on?
Maggie: Hi guys! Kids: Hi mum! Maggie: Oh, is your dad in the living room? Mike: No. Maggie: Good! I want to surprise him. Carol: And I think you will too. Maggie: Is he in the kitchen? Mike: No.
Maggie: In the bedroom? Carol: No. Maggie: Well, where is he? Ben: Washington. Maggie: What? Mike: I don't get it either. All I know is that it was Ben’s idea.
Air port: Attention. Final boarding flight 256 for Washington National, gate 27. Jason: Ah, maybe that aisle set isn't taken. If you wanted to slide over then we can both have more room to...
Jason: Someone very special.Maggie: Oh Jason! Did you think of this all by yourself? Jason: Well I got some help from the other men in your life; Mike and Ben and uhh not to mention Carol. Oh, Look what I got for you? Man: Roses. Jason: Yes. Maggie: Oh Honey! They're beautiful. And I've got something for you too. Jason: Yeah!
Maggie: Oh, Sir. Thank you. Jason: Oh, excuse me! I can't see.Man: I'm sorry.Jason: Oh Honey! My dad was right about you.Maggie: You know when two people spend seventeen years together... Man: Can I help you with that? Maggie: Sure. I think seventeen years deserves a moment alone together. Just the two of us. Man: Uh uh! Maggie: The three of us. So that we can stare into each others eyes and say "if I had it to do over..." Jason: Oh honey, I’d do it all over again. I love you! Maggie: I love you too. Man: And I love both of you. To love! Jason: To love! Maggie: I had a great time. Jason: I had a wonderful time.Maggie: Wait. I just want it to last a moment longer. Jason: Ahh! Well then, let's not come back and say we're dead. Maggie: Tempting, but no. We have to get back to those three beautiful children who miss us and need us. Ben: You little weasel! Oh, hi!Carol: You're a dead man Ben, hi! Maggie and Jason: Hi! Mike:Jason:Maggie:Jason:Maggie:Jason: Yeah, well it was Yogi who coined the phrase 'it ain’t over till it's over'. Maggie:

It is a normally a very peaceful street, but tonight there is a very very big loud party in No.15. Yes, I believe it’s the Seavor home. This is very hard to believe since they are such a loving, peaceful family, yes. And please be going easy on the Seavor boy called Mike, he’s a very very spiritual boy and none of this could possibly be his fault. Maggie: Still busy, I wonder who Mike could be talking to? Carol: Mom, come and take your turn. Ben: Yeah. Grandma: Am I doing this right? Jason: Is he in his den?Maggie: Yeah.
Jason: You can't drink that straight. Grandpa: Blasphemy! Jason: Oh, big talk. Grandpa: Oh, just watch. Jason: A one sip big deal. Bet you can't drain that? Grandpa: Keep watching. Jason: One hundred dollars. Grandpa: You're on.
Grandpa: One hundred dollars! Jason: Well, can't be that tough? Double or nothing says that I can do it. Grandpa: You? Hehe. You are on. Grandpa: Hah, I won again. Jason: You have to give me a chance to get even. Maggie: Ben and Carol. Ben and Carol together: Go to bed!
