So, Janie, how was school?
:07:06
It was okay.
:07:08
Just okay?
:07:11
No, Dad.
It was spectacular.

:07:18
Well, you want to know
how things went in my job today?

:07:21
They've hired
this efficiency expert,

:07:23
this really friendly guy
named Brad--

:07:26
How perfect is that?
And he's basically there
to make it seem they're justified...

:07:30
in firing somebody,
because they couldn't just come
out and say that, could they?

:07:33
No, no. That would just be too honest.
So they've asked us--

:07:37
[ Chuckling ] You couldn't
possibly care less, could you?

:07:40
What do you expect?
:07:42
You can't all of a sudden be my best
friend just because you had a bad day.

:07:48
I mean, hello, you've barely even
spoken to me for months.

:07:57
Oh, what?
You're "Mother of the Year"?

:08:01
- [ Muttering ]
You treat her like an employee.
- What?

:08:06
[ Shouts ]
What?

:08:09
I'm going
to get some ice cream.

:08:19
Janie...
:08:22
I'm sorry I haven't
been more available.

:08:27
I'm just-- I--
:08:32
You know, you don't always
have to wait for me to come to you.

:08:35
Oh, great.
So now it's my fault?

:08:38
I didn't say that.
It's nobody's fault. It--

:08:43
Janie, what happened?
We used to be pals.

:08:50
[ Inaudible ]
