Jason: Wow! Mike: Those two hours of studying really paid off.Carol: Hi Dad. Jason: Hi. Carol: Mike, you're home!! Ben, you're home too!! Dad, would you make Mike take Ben some place. Jason: Any place in particular? Carol: Beijing would be good.
Mike: Look! How come all of a sudden, you don't want us around? Carol: It's not sudden. Jason: Carol! Mike: Oh, no, no, no, I get it Dad. She's probably got one of her "oh so brainy friends" coming over and she's afraid that we'll embarrass her. Which of course we will. Carol: It's none of your business, who I've got coming over. Jason: Look, Carol, being ashamed of your brothers, is not nice. Ben: Yeah. (Ben burps) Jason: Could've been worse. Which one of you guys wants to come with me to pick up your Mom? Free ice-cream. Ben: Let's roll.
Mike: Yeah, yeah, that's what my close friends call me.
Bobby: So, Carol, where do you wanna study? Mike: Aha. That explains why you'd be over here seeing her. Carol: Well, how about my room? There'll be fewer stupid interruptions. Bobby: Your parents won't mind? Carol: Well, we're the only ones here. Except for Mark, of course.
Carol: Bobby, I don't know why Romeo didn't try CPR on Juliet before he killed himself. Bobby: I mean, the guy doesn't even check the pulse, before he does himself in.
Carol: Bobby, the play is over four hundred years old. It's a Classic. Bobby: Look! To you geniuses, it may make sense that Juliet gets some drug from a priest, and pretends like she's dead, so that she can run off with a guy who's too stupid to pick up the phone and call a doctor. Well, to a guy like me, it's sheep dip!! Carol: You're calling Shakespeare, "sheep dip"? Bobby: If I was Romeo, and you were Juliet and I really had it bad for you, there's nothing nobody could say that would get in the way...not my family, not your family, not nobody. By the time those people turned around to look for you and me, we'd be in my pick-up, half way to Jersey!! I'm sorry I lost my temper. Sometimes my emotions get the best of me. I guess I'm too sensitive. Carol: It's OK. I really didn't want it anymore, anyway. Bobby: This tutoring stuff's a bad idea. My head's too thick.
Jason: Our son has a very weird sense of humour.
Maggie: Yeah, little kill. Carol: Hi Mom, Dad, this is Bobby. Bobby: Please to meet you. Jason: The football player? Bobby: Yeah, you heard of me? Jason: Yeah, I just didn't believe it. Maggie: Carol, what's going on here? Carol: I'm tutoring Bobby.
Maggie: Oh, well that makes sense. Bobby: Yeah. Carol's translating this Shakespeare guy into English. Maggie: Well, nice to meet you Bobby. Bobby: The pleasure was distinctly mine Mrs. Seaver. Mr. Seaver. Jason: Yo. Football. Bobby: Oh, Carol, I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks again. Maggie: Nice boy. Carol: Yeah. Maggie: Certainly was polite. Carol: Yeah. Maggie: And cute. Carol: Yeah. Jason: You're doing great Maggie. Maggie: So, what do you think of him?
Carol: He'd have to be an intellectual; at least as smart as I am, if not smarter. He'd have to sensitive and vulnerable too, with a full understanding of the universe, and our place in it.
Jason: Well, we're safe. She's eliminated everybody but Karl Sagin.
Teacher: "What soft white light, through yonder window breaks? It is the..." What do you want? Pupil: Can you explain what that means? Teacher: Well, it's an analogy, wherein Shakespeare likens the presence of Juliet to that of the rising sun. You chuckle head! OK, I want you to read the first act of "Much Ado About Nothing", and be prepared to talk about what all the...err..."do" is about.
Friend: Oh great, more homework. It's only Tuesday and I'm already getting behind. Friend 2: Speaking of getting behind, does anyone wanna go watch the boys' swim team practise after school? Carol: That is so dumb. Friend 2: Carol, don't you ever have any fun? Bobby: Carol, I'll see you after school at your place. Carol: OK. Friends: She does! Friend 2: So, like what is this Bobby Winette situation? Carol: There's no situation, I'm just tutoring him. Friend: Oh, well what figures. Carol: And what is that supposed to mean? Friend: Well, I don't know.
Jason: Mike, you look like you've been in a fight! Mike: Oh yeah! Jason: Well, who with? Mike: My sixth period speech class. Jason: What, you fought the whole class? Mike: Look, I don't know Dad, I was at the bottom of the pile. Look, my fight is not important right now, neither is my suspension. Jason: You were suspended?
Mike: Yeah. Look, alright. At the start of the class, everybody comes up to me and asks if I've heard the news. I say, "what news?", "about Carol". Well, you know me, I'm always ready for a good Carol nerd story. Yeah, and then he starts saying this disgusting stuff about Carol. So, I keep smiling, you see, and waiting for the punch line; only he's not kidding. And I don't know what happened but the next thing I know, I was in there punching Eddie out. And then I was in there swinging and kicking, and I couldn't even figure out why I was so angry. I'm here I was, getting all busted up, protecting Carol!! I must have been delirious. Jason: Wait a minute. But, well, what were they saying about Carol? Mike: Well, that she's been...sleeping with Bobby Winette, right up in her own room! Jason: Oh. That doesn't even make any sense.
Carol: Exactly! Bobby: Alright! Carol: OK. Here. Bobby: "Sin from my lips, oh tre...tre...tre..." Carol: Trespass. Bobby: "...Trespass sweetly urged. Give me my sin again." So, he gets the message, right?
Carol: Right! And then they kiss, restating their love, even though they are from two different worlds. Bobby: Carol. Carol: Yes. Bobby: You're really...smart. Carol: Lucky me. Bobby: Oh, no, I mean it's nice! I...I...I never hung out with a smart girl before; it's interesting.
Carol: The stock market is interesting. Bobby: I mean, it's kind o' nice. Carol: Nice, is nice. Bobby: There's this theatre that's showing "Romeo and Juliet", and I was wondering if you had nothing to do, you and I could... Carol: Mom! Dad! Maggie: I sincerely hope we aren't interrupting anything.Bobby: A...a...afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Seaver. Jason: Bobby, I wanna have a word with you.Carol: Dad, what are you doing? Maggie: And I'd like a word with you, Carol. Carol: This is so embarrassing. Jason: Bobby, my office. You can take your books.Carol: Mother, do you have any idea what you have just done? Maggie: I certainly do. Carol: You have ruined my entire life.
Carol: Well, Mom...erm... I think we have a problem then.
Jason: Well? Bobby: Well, what? Jason: Explain yourself! Bobby: Oh, you mean, like where I was born, what position I play! Jason: No. I'm talking about what you said at school yesterday. Bobby: What do you mean? Jason: The lie you told. Bobby: Oh. How did you know?
Jason: Everyone knows. Bobby: OK. I didn't really read Moby Dick. The library has these old kind o' books, called Classic Illustrated and all I did was... Jason: I'm talking about Carol! Bobby: Oh, I bet she read it. She's read everything.
Carol: I just read it to Debby and Shelly. I mean I never thought they'd go blab it all over the whole school with it!! Maggie: Oh, forget about Debby and Shelly.
Carol: Mom? Maggie: What, am I wrong? Carol: No!!! Maggie: You know honey, you're gonna have to clear up this rumour at school. Carol: Oh yeah. Do you think it could...erm...wait a couple of days?
Jason: Bobby, you leave me no choice. I'm gonna phone your parents! Bobby: Why?
Jason: Why? Because you told anybody who would listen, that you and Carol... Maggie: Studied together!!! Jason: What? Bobby: Was I supposed to keep that a secret? Maggie: Jason, it's alright. Jason: Hold on!! Maggie: Hold off!! Jason: But, he... Maggie: Didn't... Jason: Ah! Maggie: Do... Jason: But I... Maggie: Anything. Trust me. Bobby, Carol's waiting to finish your lesson...in the living room. Bobby: Thanks for not calling my folks Mr. Seaver. I promise the first thing tomorrow, I'm gonna read Moby Dick, cover to cover. Carol: Hi. Bobby: Hi. You have a very strange family. Carol: Oh, they seem pretty normal to me. OK, where were we? Oh yeah, you were saying something about Romeo and Juliet the movie.Bobby: I was gonna ask you, if you'd... Carol: I'd love to. Bobby: Right, well, I'm gonna go and get ready. Carol: Why? You look incredible. I mean...errm... What time are you gonna be picking me up? Bobby: An hour?
Mike: Hey! Nobody says that about my sister!! Ben: Hmmm. Shakespeare. Macbeth. "Out, out damn spot!" Ah, so the guy had a dog.

沪江英语(Mike is singing and dancing while listening to headphones) Mike: Baby, ba-ba di ba.....baby! Dad!? Jason: Mike, you promised me you'd be studying for your speech class exam. Mike: I am! Jason: Well, start over! Mike: I don't get it, I was wearing headphones. Jason: Study Mike! (phone rings) Mike: Alright! Hello. Hey Boner, my man! How are you doing? Yeah, I could use a study break.Oh, yeah, yeah, the Arcade sounds great. Oh wait a second, I'm broke. You think you could lend me like...alright, alright, alright; I'll pay you back for that, and for this, ok? Oh, hold on a second. Oh Carol! Carol: Not a Dime. Mike: Bone, I don't know, oh may....oh hold on a minute. Oh Benny my man! Ben: Not a chance Mike! Mike: Listen Bone, er...this could take a couple of seconds. You wanna hold? Ok, don't go away. Boner: No problem. I'll wait right here. Mike: Ben! My little compadre!! Ben: Ha Mike: Ben, you know when you look at me suspiciously like that it hurts. Ben: Good. Mike: Ben, come on! I mean we're brothers, you know. This is our time to bond. And you know, before you know it, you'll be a grown man and... Ben: You'll be in prison. Mike: Alright, ok, fine, if you don't want to see this great new card trick that I learnt, that you could use to win big money out of your trusting little friends... Ben: How much money?
Mike: Plenty? Ben: Get the cards. Carol: I thought Dad said you weren't supposed to be playing cards with Ben anymore. Ben: Hey! We're bonding! Mike: Ok. Now pick a card any card, and I'll tell you what it is. And I'll bet...even I'll say a Dollar on it. Ok, alright, you don't have to bet a dollar, just make it a pretend Dollar. It's the Queen of Spades. Ben: Seven of Diamonds! Carol: Ha!
Arcade for half an hour, after Boner calls and invites me, and he doesn't even show up! Boner: Mike. Mike: Boner?! Boner: Mike. Mike: Hello. Boner look! Man, I was just down at the Arcades for half an hour. Where you been? Oh! Why didn't you just call and tell me you were waiting on the phone? Jason: Mike, no wasting time! Supposed to be working on that speech. So have you settled on a topic?
Mike: Well...it's a little early Dad. Jason: Well what are your choices? Mike: Ah...Dad, Dad, you know how you...err...always said you never wanted to push me? Well, you're pushing me. Carol: Did you tell Dad about all the money you stole from us? Jason: What? Mike: Ahh, no, no Dad she doesn't know what she's talking about. Just between you and me, I'm worried about her. Ben: Did you spend all that money at the Arcade? Mike: Ben of course has several cylinders and is firing them. Jason: You were down at the Arcade playing video games? Mike: That's a very complicated question Dad. Jason: Try me. Mike: I was definitely no playing video games. Jason: But you were there? Mike: For a very short time. Carol: With my money! Ben: And mine! Mike: I won it! Carol: You stole it! Ben: From a little kid too!!
Mike: Oh please. Jason: No, Mike, I'm talking about your future here! You know that nine out of ten con-men end up spending empty bitter lives as chiropractors? Mike, I want something better for you than a life of hugging men who've thrown their backs out.
Mike: Ok. My topic is "indecent exposure". Now, it's interesting to note, that in some places in the world, the only part of a female body that, by law, must be covered is the face. And if you've been to a Convenience store lately, you can clearly see where that law comes from! Naaa. Hey Mom, what are you doing home early? Maggie: Oh, I need an insurance form. My tooth is killing me. Ben: Look! Look what I've got! Maggie: What Ben?
in the
Ben: This. Mike: Oh boy, a rock. Ben: It's not just a rock, it's a magic rock! Maggie: Oh, that's nice honey. Ben: Yeah! Vinnie Verbott sold it to me for only five Bucks! Mike: Oh, Ben Ben Ben Ben. Ben: What? What? What? What? Maggie: Ben, honey, you're so trusting. Ben: That's a bad thing? Mike: Not from where I sit.
Maggie: No, I couldn't believe it. Not one cavity. The x-rays showed nothing. My tooth is in perfect condition. Ben: Of course! Jason: Ben, I think we've heard quite enough about magic rocks. Ben: But Vinnie verbotts got the rock from Neil McGregor’s sisters. Everybody knows they're witches! Mike: The magic rock didn't help their teeth, they don't have any.
Jason: We all know it's important to believe in something, but believing in something that isn't real can only let you down. Ben: But it cured Mom's tooth ache. Maggie: It did stop hurting. Jason: Don't you start. Maggie: And I did find the insurance form stuck to the bottom of the drawer. Jason: Maggie, insurance forms are always stuck to the bottoms of drawers. Where have you been? Carol: Dad, without magic, how do you explain the miracle of life, the mystery and the wonder of the universe, the imagination of a child...? Mike: Wayne Noon's entire career!
Mike: How does he do that? Ben: Hey Mike! Clean your room for a Buck. Mike: Alright, you're on. Thanks Benny. Ben: Magic rock, clean Mike's room. Magic rock.... Mike: No no no no no, Ben, you're gonna clean my room for real, ok? Ben: It's already clean. See for yourself. Mike: Give me my Dollar. Ben, you can't... Hey Ben, we gotta talk!
Ben: You can't have it! You can't touch it, it's mine. Mike: Ah, come on Benny! Ben: Have I ever told you how much I hate being called Benny? Mike: Yes, many times, and I'm just now getting the message. Ben: Good. Mike: Look Ben, what's your hurry? Ben: I gotta go. I have many miracles to perform. Mike: Ok, one quick thought here... Ben: Back!! Mike: Alright alright, don't point that thing at me! Jason: He bought it?
