Jason: Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's my boy!Ben: Wow! Mike: Hey, don't tell me you liked Courtney too. Ben: My butt didn't go numb once! Mike: OK, so, Mom, Dad, you can tell me; don't you think I had one major problem out there? Jason: I don't know. All I could see was Courtney! Maggie: Excuse us honey, we wanna go congratulate her too. Mike: (In his head) Maybe I have no business near a stage. Carol: Mike, it was wonderful! Brilliant. Mike: Carol, why don't you just shoot me? Carol: I mean it, I loved it, especially Courtney.Mike: Look, if you don't have anything nasty to say, don't say anything at all. Carol: What do you want me to say?
Carol: Err...(sniffing)...Yes. Mike: As an actor...as an actor, Carol. Come on, I don't even know if I'm good anymore, I don't even know what's good. I mean how does anybody know? Carol: You just know. For instance, when it comes to intellect...well... Mike: So, how do you know, you're well... Carol: Very simple. I got straight A's. Mike: Oh, come on, Carol, what the heck do those grades mean now? Carol: Well... Mike: Come on Carol, they mean absolutely didley in the real world; you know that. Carol: Well I'm head of punctuation in a prominent publishing house! Mike: Ooh, saving a lot of lives there, aren't you? Forget about the stupid grades and the pointless job. I mean, do you have any real proof that you're good? Carol: No.
Mike: OK, you're worthless. Let's get back to my problems. Carol: I need another piece of cake. Mike: Oh, come on, Carol, I'm in pain here. Would you forget about your useless life! Carol: Oh! Mike: Wait. Come on, Carol, help me. Carol: I can't help anybody, I'm useless. Maggie: Carol, don't eat in your room. Carol: Don't worry, it will be gone before I get there. Maggie: Mike, what's going on? Mike: Oh, nothing, I just asked Carol, how do you know if you're good. Jason: What's this about, Mike? Mike: Well, OK, see it's just seeing everyone going ape chips over Courtney... Maggie: Oh, she was wonderful. Now that is what acting is all about.
Mike: Dad, people who are a little off tell you you're good, and you believe them? Jason: Mike... Mike: Dad, think, what if who...who tell you that they're cured are just cutting you loose so they can find a good psychiatrist? Jason: I am a good psychiatrist. Mike: Dad...Dad come on, I mean, maybe the people who keep coming back, you're not helping and the one's who tell you they're cured are really trying to find somebody who can. Jason: Just because I lose two patients to Doctor Harry the hot tub Strickland, does not mean... Mike: Dad, I didn't mean to upset you. Jason: Oh, OK, alright, I can tell you this, Mike; that only somebody who has ever asked himself that question has any chance of answering it. Mike: Yeah. I just wish there was a way for a person to tell if he was really good.
Maggie: If you find it, let me know.
Mike: I don't belong here. Professor Thorn: Not at this hour, you don't. Mike: Ah...Professor Thorn. What are you doing here? Professor Thorn: I have tenia. What's your excuse? Mike: I'm trespassing. Can I ask you something? Professor Thorn: What? Mike: How do you know if you're good? Professor Thorn: How do I know I'm good, how do you know you're good or how does one know one's good? Mike: The last thing you said. Professor Thorn: Ah, one of life's essential questions. Mike: Ah, you sound just like my dad. Professor Thorn: Your father's British!
Professor Thorn: I'm being serious Mr. Seaver.
Mike: Well then, how do I know who to listen to? Professor Thorn: Years ago, I had a small part in a Joseph Pap production of Twelfth Night. Afterwards my dear sweet mother gushed all over me and told me I was wonderful... Mike: And you believed it! Professor Thorn: Certainly not. Daffy old bat. But I digress. Anyway, Mr. Pap himself spoke to me after a matinee. Now he didn't have to speak to me, but he chose to. He said, young man, you have promise. Now that Mr. Seaver I believed. Mike: Professor Thorn. Professor Thorn: Yes. Mike: Am I any good at this? Professor Thorn: Well Mr. Seaver, I'll say this...you have promise. Mike: Yeah! Professor Thorn: Yeah.
Mike: I do, don't I? Professor Thorn: I believe I just said that. Mike: Thanks. Professor Thorn: Mr. Seaver...do you think I'm any good, as a teacher? Mike: You're asking me? Professor Thorn: Yes. Mike: Well I'll say this...you have promise. Professor Thorn: Thank you Mr. Seaver. All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts.

Look pal, I’m telling you my daughter just came crashing through the ceiling. She could have been hurt. No she's not a large girl. Hello.

Receptionist: Cos that is how we treat scum buckets like you sir. Jason: I want to talk to your manager. Maggie: You can do that after you put the room on my card.

What’s my mum going to say, "Sorry son, it’s a bad time"? Urma: Sorry son, but it’s a bad time.Jason: Mum, you always said I’d have a home under your roof. Wally: Well maybe, but it’s our roof now. Urma: It’s just with all these people now...
Wally: You still here? Jason: Look, I’m sorry about the bum thing. Wally: Well if I weren’t married to your mother, id have thrown you out of that window.

Right?Kate: Right. Mike: You know Kate, all this kissing is great, but I really had my heart set on a moon pie.(knock at the door) Jason: Mike! Mike!Mike: Um, look, if we are really quiet he'll go away.
Mike: I must be stinking gorgeous right now. Well thank you everyone, a whole bunch. Maggie: Well Mike, this isn’t a barrel of monkeys for me either.Carol: Or me. Ben: Or me.

Jason: Stop it, stop it, stop stop stop it! Coe on. Ok, we've had a tough day. Yes, you fell through the floor. You had your credit cards cut up. You ate a vein. Jerry Vale dumped on me. Mike, and you, you had a chance. You were sitting here with a...with a chance to have a nice
conversation with a lovely lady. Are we going to let all this stuff get us down? Everyone: Yes! Jason: Well not this camper. No, I’m going to make the best of what we have., I'm going to look at this glass as being half full and not half empty. I'm going to accentuate the positive and not the negative. I'm going to take me these lemons, and I’m going to make lemonade.
Jason: Anyone else still awake? Everyone: Yes. Mike: How can I get to sleep? You guys got my bed. Jason: Well I did it for your mother. She's getting on in years. Oh well. Com eon.

Maggie: (snoring)
Eddie: You Mikey, can you spare me a ten? Maggie: What? Uh? Eddie: Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise you were sleeping with your mother. Ahhhh!Hey Michael, what's happening? Mike: Well you are pretty much looking at it Ed. Maggie: Eddie, what are you doing here? Eddie: Well actually Mike, I was wondering if you could lend me a ten. Mike: Yeah. Jason: At four in the morning? Mike: Look, all I’ve got is a twenty.Eddie: That will do.
Mike: Wait a minute. For me you had three, for him you've got twenty! Mike: Well he pays me back. Eddie: Thank you Michael. You know this is really neat.

Jason: Oh! Carol: Wait a second. The snot ball gets a bed and I have to suffer on the floor! Forget it. Mike: Hey! Wait a minute. Hold it! Time out! Who owns the bed? I'm the one who owns the bed and you guys are going to sleep in it! I'm supposed to sleep on the floor? No way. Make room. Jason: Oh come on. Carol: Ow! Hey mike, that's my foot.
Mike: Well I’m sorry. Jason: Yes, well who's got their elbow in my back? Maggie: Somebody needs to cut their toenails. Jason: You can’t have this many people in this bed. Mike: Dad, I’ve had twice as many people in this baby.know what I mean. Carol: Wait a minute. Did you wet the bed? Ben: No. Hey, we're not wetting the bed, the bed is wetting us.Mike: What the... Everyone: Ahhh! Jason: Come on. Carol: I'd just like to point out that that it was mike who bought the water bed back. Not Slim Svelte. Jason: carol. Carol, shut up/ Maggie: Oh nice. The genius who cancels the credit cards, tells his daughter to shut up! Jason: I did what I had to do. Staying here was a lot better than borrowing money from Wally.
Maggie: What? Jason: Yeah, that's right. A man has his pride. Maggie: You mean we weren’t forced to stay in this place? You chose it?Jason: I chose it. But that was before I so stupidly thought that we might enjoy a little family fun. ha ha ha.
Maggie: Jason. What are you doing out here? Jason: I don’t know. I got confused. I got lost. I thought I was heading for the steps.Maggie: Didn’t this look like a pretty small door? Jason: Maggie, I should warn you, if you're coming out here, we may have to....... (To be continued)
