Family Dynamics in a Restaurant Setting
Bob
Table for 4. No smoking.
Waitress
Wipe your feet.
Jamie
Mm-hmm. Mmm, mm-hmm. See, that's why you should study. So you can get good grades and go to a big party school.
[while tying a knot in a cherry stem in her mouth; spits stem out; drops stem]
Cassie
Hey, Dad, how come we never got a pool table for the house?
[her and Bob are playing billiards]
Bob
Because of the generalissimo over there. We had one before you were born, in the dining room, but then, you know, you get a job, you start inviting over for dinner, you have a family.
[Cassie laughs]
Cassie
So life used to be fun?
Bob
Yeah, it was fun. But then something happened that was a lot more fun.

Aw...

We got the ] smokeless grill.

[Cassie groans]
Jamie
You know, we have one of those.
Bob
Yeah, but after my last little shower of sadness...
Jamie
Okay, okay, do what you have to do.
Bob
Oh, I-I-I've got an ICBM coming!
Cassie
Ugh!
Bob
If there's a poop fairy, I can make a lot of money.

Family Tensions in a Recreational Vehicle
Bob
JAMIE!!!
[after he slides onto the front window of Gornickes' bus]
Travis
Bob?!
[astonished]
Jamie
Are you an idiot?! Do you want to see your father bouncing down the highway?!
Bob
What are you doing with the Partridge Family?
Jamie
WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON TOP OF THE BUS?!?
Bob
Because I was chasing you! You win! I blew off my job because I can't live without you. You happy?
Jamie
I never asked you to blow off your job! I wanted you to be honest with me!
Bob
Honest? Like, "Todd's gonna fire me if I go to Boulder" honest? "Screw Hawaii" honest?
[confused]
Jamie
Oh, I see. You think that if you told me you were in trouble and your job was in jeopardy, that I'd give you a hard time about it?
[tearfully, yet confused]
Bob
No crying, that's cheating.
Jamie
Do you think I'm some horrible witch that doesn't care? I do care! I care a lot! In fact, I hate you, jerk.
[in a normally worried tone; shoves Bob]
Bob
I didn't want you to know I was in trouble. You and Cassie and Carl, you mean everything to me. What you think about me is the most important thing in the world. I didn't want to fail.
[sadly; as Cassie and Carl are watching from the bus windows]
Jamie
If you don't know how I feel about you after 19 years of marriage...then I must be a failure as a wife.
[apologizing]
Bob
Then you admit you're the problem.
Jamie
Bob. You mean more to me than just a paycheck.
[smiles as she cares; she hugs Bob]
Bob
That's good, because we won't be getting one for a while. I missed that meeting.
[satisfied]
Travis
No, you didn't. Come on, Bob. Come here.
[as he and Mary Jo are watching from the bus door; he shows Bob and Jamie exactly where they have arrived]
Bob
It's a Christmas miracle!
[amazed]
Travis
No, it just sounded like this was where your wife needed to be...so I brought her.
Mary Jo
Travis has never been one to mind his own business.
Bob
Travis...some of my behavior on this trip might be misconstrued as an insult. Did come off a tad abrasive.
Bob
I was wrong, and it takes a small man to admit it.
[owning up]
Travis
And you're a big man.
Bob
I don't just mean...
Travis
I understand a metaphor, Bob. See, I went to Stanford.
Bob
YOU BIG LUG, I LOVE YOU! Who loves his big lug?!
[hugs Travis in excitement; Jamie and Mary Jo laugh]

A Journey of Family and Business Decisions
Bob
Hi, everybody. Sorry I'm late. I just came down from the mountain, and next time I'll use the road. I guess you guys didn't get the memo about "extreme casual". I love your wilderness so much that I decided to wear it. Easy, Todd. It's been kind of a-a wild journey getting here. If you ever wanna really find out about yourself, put your family in an RV and, uh, drive. I've seen some amazing stuff. I've, uh, fought wild ] and won. I've been in the ] to a place where it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. And...I met this weird family. I mean, boy, they were strange. You know, whenever a big white man picks up a ], my cheeks tighten. In the dictionary, under "hootenanny", it says "See: them". And you know what's strange about them. They're just honest, good people and it's an honor to have them as friends. Garry, Larry, this is a nice company you have here. It's your baby. I bet at the birth of your baby, you were, uh, kinda scared, right? Excited but scared. And you didn't know it was gonna turn out, and the next thing you know, it's up and walking, and you-you're tryna raise it. And sometimes you didn't know what the heck you were doing but you pretended like you did. And, uh, the next thing you know, your baby's grown. It's bigger, older, more complicated, difficult to deal with. But here's the deal, you care about it just as much because you nurtured it and part of you is in it and you're proud of it. You love it more than ever. And right now, you have to make a decision of whether you wanna merge your family with the Pure Vibe family. And I guarantee you the stocks are gonna split and you'll have money you won't know what to do with. And your company's gonna grow. You'll be bigger than a woman in bicycle shorts at ]. You'll be able to get all the stuff, like the ski boat, a $4000 bike, maybe even a Barcalounger that, you know, messages your butt and blows smoke at the same time. Bottom line here, Garry, Larry, if you wanna merge Alpine and Pure Vibe...I promise you you're making the worst decision of your entire life.
[Todd bursts with laughter; [The Nut Job|raccoons; [Rango (2011 film)|desert; referring to the Gornickes; [The Muppets (film)|banjo; turns to the Gornickes; turns to Garry and Larry, about Alpine; smiles at Cassie who smiles back, then turns again to Garry and Larry; [Disneyland; audience gasps in shock]
Todd
Whoa! This guy's a disgruntled employee. Couldn't keep up with the inner talent. Look at him. He's off his meds. Finished. His own daughter assaulted me at my home.
[gets up; Laird laughs softly; clears his throat]
Cassie
I did not! It was my friend. And she did it because Pure Vibe has one of the worst environmental records in the industry.
[referring to Gretchen]
Todd
What...? Why are these kids here?
[scoffs in disbelief]
Cassie
Plus, last year, you guys outsourced for cheaper labor to other countries like...
[as she walks to Todd; Todd tackles her]
Bob
Let her go, Todd!
[referring to Cassie]
Todd
I'll let her go. I'll let you go. You're fired.
Carl

[throws Todd to the ground]
Bob
Yo, dog.
[impressed]
Cassie

[surprised]
Moon
My hero.
[lovestruck]
Bob
Todd, I quit.

Child's Perspective on Marriage
Cassie, age 5
Daddy?
Bob
Yeah, baby?
Cassie, age 5
I'm never going to get married.
Bob
Why not? It's not as bad as it looks.
Cassie, age 5
Because I always want to live here with you.
Bob
Well, you know. One day, you're going to grow up, meet a wonderful guy, and you're going to get married. But you and I will always be best friends. Good night, Cassie.
[kisses Cassie; turns lamp off]
Cassie
Dad, could you be any more of a dork?
Bob
Cassie, do you know where this girl lives, or do you just think you know?
Cassie
Oh, I know where she lives, I just know one way to get there, and you refuse to go that way.
Bob
Because it's a stupid way.
Cassie
Yes, if you consider actually getting there stupid.
Jamie
Why don't you use the navigation?
Bob
Because our daughter, ] back there, doesn't know the address or the name of the street. She just knows it as "the one next to the one with the fountain".

Carl
Dad, Cassie just gave you the finger.
