:50:02
- Yeah.
- What do you think happened, Nick?

:50:06
My mom's a lot older than Roger.
Like nine years.

:50:09
You must have been quite
the little surprise, Roger.

:50:12
A nine-year gap doesn't necessarily mean
an unplanned pregnancy.

:50:16
But, apparently, I did come
as a bit of a surprise.

:50:19
Really? I didn't know that.
:50:21
That doesn't explain why you
and your sister don't get along.

:50:23
Let's just say
we don't have much in common.

:50:27
My mom says that when Roger was little,
he could talk himself out of anything.

:50:30
He never got in trouble,
even when he got caught.

:50:33
- She called him ''Roger Dodger.''
- That's perfect for you.

:50:37
There's nothing wrong with a high
verbal ability. Nick's got it too.

:50:41
I wanna be like Granddad.
He almost never talks.

:50:43
But when he does,
everyone kind of leans forward.

:50:45
You know, my dad's like that.
:50:47
The difference being that what
my father has to say is usually...

:50:50
some variation on,
''Get me another scotch.''

:50:52
- Like father, like son?
- No, like daughter.

:50:55
- I get my--
- Whose daughter?

:50:56
- What do you mean, ''like daughter?''
- No joke.

:50:59
Mom keeps a bottle in the
laundry basket. She has for years.

:51:05
- Oh, God, Nick.
- That's awful.

:51:06
She's not a wreck or anything.
She's just-- What do you call it?

:51:10
- High-functioning.
- Yeah. That's Susan all right.

:51:12
She's always functioned
at a high level.

:51:14
- She's just really high, you know?
- How can you joke about that?

:51:18
You can joke about anything
that has to do with yourself.

:51:21
It's a basic human right.
Isn't that right, Nick?

:51:24
I think that's constitutional
or something.

:51:27
Freedom of speech.
Freedom to joke.

:51:30
You know what?
I need the ladies' room.

:51:33
Let's let the boys discuss
these new revelations.

:51:35
- Good idea.
- I don't-- All right.

:51:37
All right.
:51:40
Be careful.
We'll be waiting.

:51:44
Are you sure you want
to get laid tonight?

:51:46
I thought you would
like to know that.

:51:48
I am not the one
who is here to learn.

:51:50
For most of us,
this is a forgetting place.

:51:52
- All right?
- We were talking about Granddad.

:51:54
- I fiigured--
- You felt qualifiied to jump in...

:51:56
and expound
on that particular topic?

:51:58
That's right. I'm sorry.
:51:59
You're an expert on that subject now.
You guys are joined at the fucking hip.
