My Wife and Kids (2001–2005): Season 5, Episode 6 - Poker Face - full transcript

HEY, WHAT'S UP, DAD?
OOH, NICE OUTFIT.

THANKS.
LIKE THE SHOES?

THOSE LOOK GAY.

SO DO YOU, QUEER EYE.

WHATEVER.

OOH.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S MY NEW PAGER.
VANESSA GOT IT FOR ME.

THIS WAY SHE CAN REACH ME
AT ANY TIME.

OH, HOW CONVENIENT.

YEAH, WITH THE NEW BABY
AND ALL,



SHE SAYS THAT WE NEED TO STAY
IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION.

[ INHALES SHARPLY ]

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT
WITH THE BABY?

OH, THE BABY'S FINE.

VANESSA WANTED TO KNOW
WHAT I WAS DOING.

LOOK, JUNIOR, WOMEN HAVE
THIS SLICK LITTLE WAY

OF KEEPING TABS ON YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE PAGER!

THAT'S A TRACKING DEVICE.

IF WAS YOU, I'D LOSE IT.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

SON, IT'S BAD ENOUGH

YOU AND VANESSA SPEND EVERY
WAKING MOMENT TOGETHER.



DAD, THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I HAVE MY OWN FREEDO...

HOLD ON.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
OH, TALKING TO MY DADDY.

I LOVE YOU.

JUNIOR, PLEASE,
TAKE IT FROM A GUY

WHO'S BEEN MARRIED FOREVER.

THE ONLY WAY
FOR A MAN AND WOMAN

TO HAVE A HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER

IS TO HAVE TIME APART.

DAD, WE HAVE PLENTY
OF TIME APART.

I GO TO WORK AT...
HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?"
STILL TALKING TO MY DADDY.

OOH, SMILEY FACE,
SMILEY FACE, EXCLAMATION.

L-O-L, L-O-L,

X-O, X-O... O-X.

OKAY, OKAY.
STOP IT.

OKAY, I'M SORRY.

LOOK...

X-O, X-O, X-O.
GO AHEAD.

THE REASON
YOUR MOTHER AND I

HAVE SUCH A HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIP

IS BECAUSE WE RESPECT EACH
OTHER'S PERSONAL INTEREST.

I DO MY POKER NIGHT.

SHE DOES WHATEVER CRAP
SHE WANTS TO DO.

YOU MEAN HER BOOK CLUB?

YEAH, THE CAT SESSION.

LOOK, THE POINT IS,

IN ORDER TO STAY HEALTHY
IN A RELATIONSHIP,

YOU NEED TIME APART.

AIN'T THAT RIGHT, BABE?

I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.

I'VE BEEN PAGING YOU
ALL MORNING.

YOU DIDN'T RETURN
ANY OF THEM.

I LOST IT, DEAR.

FIGURED YOU SAY THAT.

THAT'S WHY I GOT YOU A NEW ONE,
FULLY CHARGED.

THAT'S RIGHT.
DON'T TRY IT.

OKAY, LOOK.

I NEED YOU GUYS
TO EAT UP REALLY FAST

SO YOU'RE NOT LATE
FOR SCHOOL.

DID I TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT
THE AMAZING THING

THAT HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY
IN SCIENCE CLASS?

NO, WHAT HAPPENED?

IT WAS SO LIFE-CHANGING,
I...

HEY, GUYS!

LOOK AT THE BABY!

WHY DON'T YOU COME HERE,
SON-SON?

COME HERE, SON-SON.

OKAY, OKAY,
GO TO GRANDPA.

OH, MY LITTLE MAN.

HELLO!
I WAS TALKING.

YEAH, YEAH, "LIFE CHANGE."
I REMEMBER.

BUT LOOK AT THE BABY.

OOH, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
A TOY FOR THE BABY.

DO YOU WANT THE TOY, BABY?

I DID UNTIL YOU GUYS
TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
PLAY WITH THE BOX.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO PLAY
WITH THE BOX.

PLAY WITH THAT.
THAT'S FUN.

ALL THAT...
YOU JUST DO LIKE THIS.

BUT I DON'T
WANT TO PLAY WITH IT.

THEN YOU GO ON UPSTAIRS
AND GET YOUR BACKPACK.

GO ON, NOW, PLEASE,
YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW YOU GUYS LIKE
TO MAKE GOO-GOO NOISES

AND CRAZY FACES AT
JUNIOR-JUNIOR,

BUT I HAVE TO BRING HIM
TO MY PARENTS.

SAY GOODBYE.

BYE.

OH.
BYE, LITTLE MAN.

THERE YOU GO.
GO TO MOMMY.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE'S RIGHT.

WE BETTER GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE WE'RE LATE.

PAGER.

COME ON, EVERYBODY.
LET'S GO, LET'S GO.

[ GASPS ] MICHAEL.

[ Chuckling ]
OH, MY GOD.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I ALMOST FORGOT?

WE FORGOT TO PUT ON
THE ALARM.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING,
YEAH.

CAN'T FORGET THAT.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HEY!
YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME!

UGH!

HEY, DAD.

HOW'S THE HAPPY COUPLE?

HAPPY.

I'M GONNA GO UPSTAIRS
AND RELIEVE CLAIRE

OF HER BABY-SITTING DUTIES.

OKAY. I'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES?

I'LL MISS YOU, NOOPY.

I'LL MISS YOU, TOO,
FERTILE TURTLE.

GIVE ME THE LUSHIES.
COME HERE.

[ SMOOCHING ]

OKAY, YOU GUYS ARE
MAKING ME SICK.

SORRY, MR. KYLE.
I'M GOING.

OH, MAN.

WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR,
DAD?

I'M LOOKING FOR
MY MAGIC POKER HAT.

I DIDN'T HAVE IT LAST WEEK,
AND I LOST.

HOW MUCH DID YOU LOSE?

MAN, I LOST LIKE
13 PRETZELS,

A JELLY DOUGHNUT,
AND 16 PUMPKIN SEEDS.

WOW, YOU TOOK A BEATING.

YEAH,
THAT'S WHY I GOT TO...

BOY, YOU LOOK LIKE
A BOWLING BALL.

LOOK AT THIS.

AND GO BLOW YOUR NOSE.

[ SCOFFS ]

WHATEVER.
[ LAUGHS ]

OOH, YES, YES!

WHAT ARE YOU
SO HAPPY ABOUT?

VANESSA MADE IT
UPSTAIRS SAFELY.

YEAH! HA HA!

Thank you.

JUNIOR,
YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK YOU NEED TO JOIN ME
TONIGHT IN MY POKER GAME.

IT'LL JUST BE THE GUYS.

OH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
HEY, CAN VANESSA COME TO?

YEAH, IF SHE CAN GROW
A PENIS.

I'LL ASK HER.

HEY, BABES.
DO YOU THINK IT'S PO...

I GUESS NOT.

YEAH, SHE CAN'T COME.

GUYS' NIGHT MEANS
GUYS' NIGHT.

NO WOMEN ALLOWED.

YOU'RE SAYING I SHOULDN'T SPEND
ALL MY TIME WITH VANESSA?

I'VE ONLY BEEN SAYING THAT
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

YEAH, YOU NEED YOUR
QUALITY TIME WITH HER,

BUT YOU ALSO NEED
SOME MAN TIME.

AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY
OF POKER.

THERE AIN'T NO WOMEN
AROUND.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
THEM TELLING YOU WHAT YOU DO

AND WHAT YOU CAN'T DO,

HOW YOU CAN TALK
AND HOW YOU CAN'T TALK,

HOW YOU CAN WALK
AND HOW YOU CAN'T WALK.

OH, IT'S YOUR MOTHER.
SHE WANTS ME UPSTAIRS.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HAVE YOU SEEN
MY MAGIC POKER HAT?

IT'S ON YOUR HEAD.

I KNOW.
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

LOOK AT IT.
IT MATCHES MY SHOES.

BAM.
LOOK AT THAT.

YOU LOOK GAY.

SHHHHHH!

UH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ LAUGHS ]

BABE, WHAT DOES IT
LOOK LIKE I'M DOING?

I'M TRYING TO READ
MY MAGIC BOOK.

WHY IS IT MAGIC?

BECAUSE WHEN I READ IT,
NOBODY BOTHERS ME.

WOW, THAT HURT
MY FEELINGS.

I DIDN'T MEAN
TO BOTHER YOU.

I'LL JUST SIT HERE
AND WON'T BOTHER YOU AT ALL.

I'M PLAYING BETWEEN
YOUR TOES.

MICHAEL!

OKAY.

WHAT'S THE BOOK ABOUT?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WISH I KNEW.

BUT I HAVE AN IDEA.

WHY DON'T I READ IT FIRST?

THEN I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!

THAT'S GREAT!
OKAY.

YOU FINISHED?

MICHAEL!

MICHAEL, LOOK, I GOT TO
GET THROUGH THIS, OKAY?

I GOT TO DISCUSS IT WITH
MY BOOK CLUB TONIGHT, OKAY?

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU OUT.

BROTHER, YOU HAVE NOT READ
THIS BOOK, OKAY?

SISTER, TRY ME OUT.

REALLY?

YEAH, I READ.
I LIKE TO READ.

I'M NOT YOUR SON.
I'M NOT JUNIOR.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY.

THIS IS BY
ANGELINE BOUDREAUX.

I KNOW HER.

REALLY?
YOU KNOW THIS BOOK?

THIS IS ABOUT
A LITTLE GIRL...

NEVER, NEVER READ IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT FOR REAL?

I DON'T
COME BOTHERING YOU

WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING
YOUR POKER GAME.

I DON'T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS,
I DON'T INTERRUPT,

AND I DON'T ASK TO PLAY,
DO I?

THAT'S BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT INVITED.

I JUST WANTED A KISS.
PLEASE?

OH, MICHAEL, I AM NOT
IN THE MOOD FOR ALL OF THAT.

FOR REAL. I'M TRYING
TO READ MY BOOK.

OKAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHAT?

I WANT MY KISS.

[ SIGHS ]

COME ON.

AAH!

[ LAUGHS ]

I WON'T BOTHER YOU
NO MORE.

THANK YOU.

OH, ONE MORE THING.

GET OUT!

[ BOOK THUDS ]

SEE, CAN'T HIT ME 'CAUSE I GOT
THE MAGIC POKER HAT ON.

OW.

NOW YOU ASKED OF IT, WOMAN.
THAT TURNED ME ON.

NO! MICHAEL,
I'M TRYING TO READ!

STOP PLAYING!
WHAA!

AAAAAAAH!

DADDY, HAVE YOU SEEN
MY STUFFED LION?

NO, BUT I GOT A STUFFED
ARTICHOKE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

MY LION IS MISSING.

OH.

WELL, I HOPE
IT'LL TURN UP.

GET IT? "TURNIP"!

INSTEAD OF THE ARTICHOKE,
I SAID TURNIP,

WHICH IS IN
THE VEGETABLE FAMILY.

HEY, YOU GUYS.

AHA! I KNEW IT WOULD
TURN UP HERE.

I BELIEVE
THIS BELONGS TO ME.

JUNIOR SAID I COULD LET
JUNIOR-JUNIOR PLAY WITH IT.

WELL, HE WAS WRONG,
AND HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED,

AND HIS HEAD'S BIG.

HEY, COME HERE, MISS.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED WITH THAT
SINCE YOU WAS 3 YEARS OLD.

YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT!

BESIDES, THE POINT IS,
IT'S MY TOY.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY
WITH IT WHENEVER I WANT.

YOU'RE RIGHT, KADY.
I'M SORRY.

WE SHOULD HAVE CONSULTED YOU
BEFORE TAKING YOUR TOY.

YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE.

BYE.

YEAH, BYE.

♪ UH-OH, UH-OH, OH ♪

♪ OH, UH-OH, UH-OH, OH ♪

♪ UH-OH ♪

[ LAUGHS ]
IT'S POKER NIGHT.

HEY, MR. KYLE.

HEY, WHAT'S UP?

OOH, SNACKS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

IT'S POKER NIGHT!

YE-AH!

MR. KYLE, LET ME JUST
APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.

FOR WHAT,
FRANKENPOOFS?

FOR THE FACT THAT I AM
GOING TO CLEAN YOU OUT.

THAT'S MIGHTY BIG TALK
FOR A MIGHTY LITTLE MAN.

PUT YOUR PRETZELS
WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.

OH, I INTEND TO.

I ALSO INTEND TO PUT
YOUR PRETZELS

WHERE MY MOUTH IS, TOO.

[ LAUGHS ]

COME ON, GUYS.
THAT WAS FUNNY.

HA HA HA.

NO?

WELL, YOUR SHOES ARE GAY.

YEAH, AND YOUR HAIRDO
IS GAYER.

YEAH, WELL, THAT HAT
IS REALLY, REALLY GAY.

[ Chuckling ]
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.

IT'S POKER NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

THE GAME WE'RE GONNA PLAY
IS CALLED 5-CARD STUD.

IT'S APPROPRIATELY
CALLED THAT

BECAUSE I'M GONNA GIVE
YOU EACH 5 CARDS,

AND I AM A STUD.

[ CHUCKLING ]

THAT WAS FUNNY, RIGHT?

HEY, GUYS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD
YOUR BOOK CLUB TONIGHT.

OH, IT'S POSTPONED TILL
TOMORROW NIGHT AT OUR HOUSE.

AW, THAT'S TOO BAD.

GET OUT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TELL ME TWICE.

IF I'M NOT INVITED,
I'M GONE.

YOU WANT TO SIT IN?

OH, I SURE WOULD!

I'VE ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE INVITED!

I'M GONNA PUT MY STUFF UP.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

OH, SO WHAT GAME ARE
WE PLAYING?

A LITTLE GAME WE LIKE
TO CALL DUCK.

OH, HOW DO YOU PLAY?

OH, YOU JUST TAKE
THE REMAINING CARD.

YOU PUT IT OUT LIKE THAT.

AND A-ONE, AND A-TWO,
AND A-THREE, AND A-DUCK.

OW!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO INVITE
THAT WOMAN INTO OUR GAME?

THAT'S NOT A WOMAN.
THAT'S MY MOMMY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

AH HA HA HA!

WHAT CAN'T YOU BELIEVE,
BABY?

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DIDN'T
THINK TO INVITE YOU SOONER.

OH, THAT IS SO SWEET!
YOU'RE SO SWEET!

MOVE OVER, MOVE OVER.

WHAT ARE WE PLAYING?

WE'RE PLAYING A GAME
WE LIKE TO CALL DUCK.

HA HA HA HA.

HOW DO YOU PLAY THAT?

OH, IT GOES AS SO.

YOU JUST SPREAD OUT
YOUR CARDS.

AND A-ONE, AND A-TWO,
AND A-THREE.

OW!

YOU SHOULD HAVE DUCKED.
AH HA HA HA HA!

[ LAUGHING ]

ALL RIGHT, FOLKS.
LET'S PLAY CARDS.

WILL YOU SHUFFLE
THE CARDS?! AAAH!

SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO?

NOW I HAVE TO START
ALL OVER.

[ SNICKERING ]

[ LAUGHING ]

HEY, BABE.

WHAT?

BABE, UM,
IF YOUR CARDS ALL HAVE

THE LITTLE HEARTY THING
ON THEM,

THAT'S GOOD RIGHT?

MM-HMM, THAT'S GOOD.

OKAY.

PHBT!

I KNOW.

SORRY.

HEY, BABE.

WHAT?

IF THEY'RE ALL
IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER,

THAT'S GOOD, TOO, RIGHT?

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

[ STOMPS FOOT ]

[ GASPS ] WHOO!

HEY, BABE.

WHAT?

OOH. WAIT.

IF ALL THE CARDS, UM,
GO LIKE THIS...

10, JACK...
QUEEN, KING, ACE.

THAT'S GOOD, TOO?
THAT'S SUPER GOOD, RIGHT?

THAT'S GOOD.
I AIN'T HAD NONE OF THAT.

AH HA HA HA HA!

Y'ALL SUCKERS.

WELL, THAT'S IT.
I'M CLEANED OUT.

I'M CLEANED OUT, TOO.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

NO ONE'S EVER BEATEN ME
IN POKER BEFORE.

Jay: BEGINNER'S LUCK,
I GUESS.

I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS A CHANCE
TO WIN IT ALL BACK NEXT WEEK.

All: NEXT WEEK?

NEXT... WHAT?

YEAH! NEXT WEEK!

I WOULDN'T MISS IT
FOR THE WORLD.

I LOVE POKER.

HA HA! HA HA HA!

MIKE, YOU GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

JASMINE GETS WIND OF THIS,
SHE'LL BE OVER HERE NEXT WEEK.

CLAIRE WILL INSIST
ON PLAYING.

AND SO WILL KADY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL UNDO THE DAMAGE
THAT JUNIOR DID.

I MEAN, WE'RE MEN.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

I'LL JUST GO IN THERE
AND LAY DOWN THE LAW AND SAY,

"JAY, YOU CAN'T COME
TO OUR GAME."

HOW ABOUT THAT?

"YOU AIN'T COMING HERE.
YOU'RE NOT WANTED."

OH, MINE'S GOING OFF,
TOO.

UH... COMING, BABY!

I'M SORRY, CLAIRE!

I GOT TO GO GET
THE TRASH.

Kady: HEY, CLAIRE!
COME HERE!

MAKE IT QUICK.
I'M ON MY WAY OUT.

WASN'T I A CUTE BABY?

IS THAT WHAT YOU CALLED ME
IN HERE FOR?

YES.

I MEAN, NO, NO.
WAIT!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO THE MALL.

I SAW THE CUTEST OUTFIT
FOR JUNIOR-JUNIOR.

HE'S GONNA LOOK
SO ADORABLE IN IT.

ARE YOU GONNA GET ME
ANYTHING, BIG SIS?

NO. WHY SHOULD I?

BECAUSE I'M YOUR
LITTLE SISTER,

AND I CAN BE ADORABLE, TOO.

WATCH.

EW!

GET OFF ME!

YOU'RE WRINKLING
MY CLOTHES.

WHY DON'T YOU GROW UP
AND STOP BEING SUCH A BABY?

APPARENTLY
I ALREADY DID.

[ CRYING ]

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER,
HONEY?

NOTHING.

OKAY, GOOD.

I WASN'T SERIOUS.

[ CHUCKLES ]
NEITHER WAS I.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN
WALKING DOWN MEMORY LANE.

YEAH, GOOD TIMES,
GOOD FUN.

THIS SHOULD STILL BE
GOOD TIMES

AND GOOD FUN FOR YOU.

NOT FOR ME.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE EVER SINCE
JUNIOR AND VANESSA

BROUGHT THAT LITTLE
SNOT-INFESTED MIDGET HOME,

HE'S BEEN HOGGING UP
ALL THE SPOTLIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S THE THING
ABOUT BABIES.

WHEN THEY COME
INTO A ROOM,

EVERYBODY SEEMS
TO FLOCK TO THEM.

I MISS THE FLOCKING.

WELL, I WOULD THINK
THAT YOU WOULD BE HAPPY

YOU'RE NOT A BABY ANYMORE.

WELL, THINK AGAIN.

FROM WHERE I'M STANDING,
8 DOESN'T LOOK SO HOT.

LISTEN, LET ME TELL YOU
A LITTLE SECRET.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY
IN THE SPOTLIGHT,

THEN YOU GOT TO STAND
NEXT TO THE PERSON

THAT'S GETTING ALL
THE ATTENTION.

THAT WAY YOU'LL REAP
ALL THE BENEFITS

AND YOU'LL BE
A GREAT AUNTIE, TOO.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

OF COURSE IT DOES.

WHY DO YOU THINK
I HANG AROUND

THAT SNOT-INFESTED
LITTLE MIDGET?

AND I'LL TELL YOU
ANOTHER SECRET, KADY.

NO MATTER HOW MANY BABIES
COME IN THIS HOUSE,

YOU ARE ALWAYS
GONNA BE MY BABY.

THANKS, DADDY.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

THESE PRETZELS ARE
DELICIOUS.

I WON THEM AT
MY HUSBAND'S POKER GAME.

[ LAUGHS ]

EW. EW.

LET'S JUST GET TO "I KNOW WHY
THE HUMMINGBIRD HUMS."

I'LL JUST GO FIRST.
I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE...

A LIFE-AFFIRMING JOURNEY.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
PLAYING GOLF.

HOW COULD I PLAY GOLF WHEN
A HUMMINGBIRD WAS HUMMING?

♪ HMMMMM, HMMMM, HMMMM ♪

SHUT UP AND GET OUT.

I DON'T MIND
IF HE SITS IN, JAY.

YEAH, ME EITHER.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR
A MAN'S POINT OF VIEW.

IS THAT AN INVITATION?

IT IS.

THEN I MUST ACCEPT!

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL GO FIRST.

IT'LL BE QUICK...

NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS IS MY CLUB.

I... MY TURN.

WHATEVER.

SOMEONE'S INSECURE.

ANYWAY, I THOUGHT THIS BOOK
WAS ABOUT FREEDOM.

A LITTLE HUMMINGBIRD
TOLD ME DIFFERENT.

[ LAUGHS ]
OH, GIRL.

I BELIEVE IN THE BEGINNING
WHEN YOU MEET THE LITTLE GIRL,

SHE REPRESENTS REPRESSION...

[ HUMMING ]

MICHAEL!

WE DON'T CRITICIZE PEOPLE.

I'M NOT CRITICIZING.
MY LIPS ARE SEALED.

I'M SIMPLY HUMMING.
WASN'T I JUST HUMMING?

THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG
IN DISCUSSING A BOOK.

WELL, I BEG TO DIFFER.

I BELIEVE THAT THE AUTHOR

[ French accent ]
ANGELINE BOUDREAUX...

[ STAMMERING ]

FIRST OF ALL...

HER NAME IS PRONOUNCED
AN-GEL-INE "BOUDROX."

ANGELINE "BOUDROX."

BUT CONTINUE
INTERRUPTING ME.

WELL, ANGELINE'S BOOK
IS ABOUT POWERLESSNESS.

AND ELVIRA REPRESENTS
ALL THE DISENFRANCHISED PEOPLE

WITH NO VOICES.

AND WHEN SHE FINALLY
FINDS HER VOICE,

HER SONG... YES.

HER SONG...

OH, IT REPRESENTS
THE ♪ RESURRECTIO-O-O-N ♪

♪ NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ♪

...OF THE SPIRIT.

YES, GIRL.

[ ALL HUMMING ]

OH, COME ON!
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!

HEY, I THOUGHT
WE DIDN'T JUDGE HERE.

MICHAEL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD BE
100% RIGHT ABOUT THIS

IS IF YOU WERE
ANGELINE BOUDREAUX HERSELF.

HARK! DON'T MOVE.

HELLO!

JANET KYLE,
MEET THE AUTHOR.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE, MICHAEL.
TRAFFIC WAS A MESS.

WELL, HELLO, EVERYBODY.

I'M [French accent]
ANGELINE BOUDREAUX.

[ French accent ]
ANGELINE.

HOW DID YOU DO THIS?

SHE AND FRANKLIN HAVE
THE SAME LITERARY AGENT.

SINCE YOU'RE HERE,
[American accent] ANGELINE...

[ French accent ]
ANGELINE.

ANGIE.

UM, SINCE YOU'RE HERE,
WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL THIS FOOL

YOUR INTERPRETATION OF HOW
THE HUMMINGBIRD HUMS, PLEASE?

OH, WELL, THAT'S SIMPLE.

YOU SEE, ELVIRA REPRESENTS

ALL THE DISENFRANCHISED PEOPLE
WITH NO VOICES.

AND WHEN SHE FINALLY
FINDS HER VOICE,

HER SONG... OH!

HER SONG REPRESENTS

THE R-R-RESURECTIO-O-O-N
OF THE SPIRIT.

[ HUMMING ]

[ ALL HUMMING ]

OH, HEY, KADY.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

WATCH THE BABY FOR A MINUTE.
I FORGOT HIS PACIFIER.

WAIT! WAIT!

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT...

WITH YOUR CUTE LITTLE EYES

AND CUTE LITTLE NOSE

AND CUTE LITTLE HANDS
AND FEET?

AW! YOUR CUTE
LITTLE SMILE!

HI!

HI, YEAH.
HI.

OH, MICHAEL.
THIS IS PERFECT.

MY BABY IS PLAYING WITH
MY GRANDBABY.

KADY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T GONNA
ADJUST WELL TOO JUNIOR-JUNIOR,

BUT I'M SO GLAD TO SEE
YOU'RE TAKING IT ALL IN STRIDE.

HE'S A'IGHT.

YEAH, WELL,
AS THE YOUNGEST AUNTIE,

YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE
TO PLAY.

SEE, YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO BEST REMEMBERS

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
AN INFANT.

YOU'RE GOING TO
BRIDGE THE GAP

BETWEEN US AND THE BABY.

NOW, THAT'S A HUGE
RESPONSIBILITY.

THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?

I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT.

THANKS FOR WATCHING
JUNIOR-JUNIOR.

NO PROBLEM.

WE'RE OFF TO THE MALL.

OH, CAN I COME?

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS.
HAVE FUN. BYE.

BYE!

BYE.

THANKS, HONEY.

THE POKER GAME'S TONIGHT.

I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT
TO SIT IN.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
I LEARNED MY LESSON.

YOU GOT YOUR THINGS.
I GOT MINE.

FROM NOW ON, WE RESPECT
EACH OTHER'S TERRITORY.

AND NO HARD FEELINGS?

MICHAEL, OF COURSE NOT!

NO HARD FEELINGS...

I GOT MY BOOK CLUB
ANYWAY TONIGHT.
