What I'm trying to tell you is that...
:00:04
...your son is starving for stimulation and
challenge, and for some order in his life.

:00:08
Things that you don't provide
but that I will.

:00:11
I know that to deny a child's potential
is to smother his true self.

:00:15
Fred doesn't give a shit
about his potential.

:00:18
He just wants to be a normal,
happy little kid.

:00:21
Well, he's not normal, thank God,
and he's certainly not happy.

:00:26
And you underestimate him greatly...
:00:28
...if you think that a summer by the pool
will ever be enough for him.

:00:32
Fred wants to go to college.
:00:34
Don't take my word for it. Ask him.
:00:54
Hey. What are you doin'?
:00:58
Your résumé.
:01:03
Oh.
:01:06
So, I understand that you and Jane
made some plans, huh?

:01:13
So, were you just gonna sneak off
to college without saying anything?

:01:19
Fred, do you wanna go to college?
:01:23
You know, Jane says you do.
:01:29
It sure sounds great to me.
:01:32
Sounds like a great opportunity.
:01:36
I mean, you hang round here
for too long and you might, uh...

:01:39
...you might smother
your potential or somethin'.

:01:42
I'd sure feel real lousy if that happened.
:01:48
Course, you know you're
gonna have to live with her.

:01:52
Which means you'd also miss out
on a real summer vacation.

:01:58
Hey.
