Conflict Between Father and Son
Charlie Knock much?
Tom You got kicked off the football team!
Charlie Well, then look who decided to be a parent!
Tom Let's check that attitude, Charlie!
Charlie I don't fit in this town, Dad. I'm going back to Midland.
Tom You are not dropping out of school, and you are not walking out on this family!
Charlie What family? Since we've moved here, everybody's been looking out for number one, especially you and Mom.
[scoffs]
Tom Your mother and I are doing what we think is best for everyone!
Charlie Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You did not take this coaching job for us! You took it because you were a loser in college while Shake was out there being a superstar! If you want your shot at glory, Dad, if you wanna have it all, you do what you gotta do! But quit feeding us this line about being a happier and stronger family! This move was about you!! And you know what?! I don't have to sit here and pay the price of your life choices! I'm leaving!
Tom You're staying.
Charlie Are you gonna make me?
Tom Charlie, I love you. And I want you to have the best life that you can have. And that means you're getting a diploma.
[sighs]
Charlie When I graduate, I'm gone.

Tom Fine, thanks. How are you?
Kate I'm sorry, hi.
Tom Hi. Charlie got kicked off the football team.
Kate What?!
Tom Don't worry, I'm handling it.
Tom Shake. President Gerhard.
President Gerhard Tom.
Shake Tom, we need a minute.
Mark Please don't die, Beans.
President Gerhard The university is prepared to make a huge investment in the program, but we want some assurances.
Tom What does that mean?
Shake We wanna know that you're committed to the football program.
President Gerhard You have to decide who's making the bacon and who's cooking it.
Shake So, what's it gonna be, Tom?
Kate Tom, honey, didn't you pick up my dry-cleaning?
Tom Yes, dear, it's in the front closet.
Shake Well, I guess the wife just answered our question.

Tom What's this?
Nora Hank slept over. Do you have a problem with that?
Tom Yes, I have a problem with that! This house is G-rated.
Hank Whoa, chief. Look, Nora's a big girl.
Tom Now would be an excellent time for you to be very, very quiet, chief. Now, get dressed and get downstairs.
Hank Whoa.
Kate I just... I can't believe you let things get this bad around here. I can't believe it.
Tom Well, what can I say? You didn't pick the perfect moment to have a career.
Kate Oh, okay, yeah. I'm not even gonna touch that hypocrisy. You told me to go to New York. Do you remember that? Mr. I Can Handle It. "Everything'll be okay. Go, Kate! Go!" Help me, would you?
Tom So you're telling me you didn't want to go to New York?
Kate No. I want a lot of things. So do you. That's the problem.
Tom This isn't working.
Kate Yeah, that's my point.
Tom I meant the zipper.
Kate Let's just get through the next hour, okay?
Tom Fine.
Kate Fine. Okay, everybody. I know it's been a difficult day, but I need all of you, and I would appreciate it if you could just put on happy faces. Everything's great. We're a big, happy family. If you can remember the lines I told you to say to Oprah. If you can't remember, don't say anything. Big smiles. Let me see em.
Mark Mom, Beans is dead!
Sarah Nobody cares about your stupid frog right now, FedEx, okay?!
Mark (Annoyed and irritated) STOP CALLING ME THAT! (charges at her, causing the whole family to start a heated argument)
Kate DON'T YOU DARE CALL HIM THAT!!
Tom All right! Hey!
Kate Stop! Stop! Oprah is coming!!!
Cameraman 1 What's the name of this segment again?
Cameraman 2 Uh, "One Big Happy Family"?
Cameraman 1 Okay, I'm calling Oprah's people right now.
Hank All I'm saying is that families are inevitable. It's like death or taxes.
Nora Does that mean you don't want children?
Hank Children?!
Kate Leave him alone!
Hank Hello! Look at these, children! They're monsters! Honey, you can't want this. That's why you're with me.
Tom Nora! Come on! We need you down here!
Lorraine You're stepping on me! You're messing up my hair! Stop!
Kate Nigel, get off your brother's head!
Mark Get off me! Nobody cares about me!
Nora Mark.
Mark Nobody cares about me!
Nora (tries to comfort Mark) Mark, what's going on? (Mark runs upstairs in despair) Mark! Mark!
Sarah and Lorraine What?! What are you talking about?! I'm perfect! I've never done anything like this before!
Kate Oh, no, none of that!
Tom Hey! Hey!
Cameraman 1 No, you do not want to come here. No, it's the farthest thing from a happy family.
Jake Why am I the only normal person in this family?!
