Wendy! how is it going? Stuart fellow.
Wendy: Mike this isn't Stuart.
Mike: Wendy Wendy Wendy, who would this be if this is not Stuart?
Wendy: I don't know, Mike, but this dog changes its colors when he gets wet. Stuart will never do that.
Jason: Mike.
Mike: Eh you know there's an article about this in the paper it says pets are changing colors said that acid rain.
Jason: Mike look.
Mike: Cincinnati that turns purple the thing is perfectly normal i have the article upstairs I’ll go and get it.
Jason: Mike stop, sit. What did you do to Stuart?
Mike: I lost him. Look, I looked everywhere but I couldn't find him. Wendy I would have told you the truth but then I ask myself what is truth. Was it honesty was it pain and grieving or is it the smile on a beautiful girl's face. I guess you know what I think the truth is.
Jason: Then you took a white dog and you dyed him black?
Mike: Hey, when somebody leaves a black dog with Mike seaver they'll get a black back Jason: Wendy I am really sorry about all of this. I know how much you must've loved Stuart. Jason: Are you kidding who got to love Stuart my family went on a vacation to get away from Stuart.
Jason: what?
Wendy: But I love this dog, he's so sweet I think I'll name it Mike. No, make that mikepo. Mike: Did you hear that dad? She's gonna name it mikepo.
Wendy: I'll see you at night, bye.
Mike: Yeah, ok bye. Well it's my lesson, I'll never do that again.
Jason: No you won't Mike, because you're grounded for the rest of your life.
Mike: Dad ....
Jason: And a month after that.
Maggie: What's with Mike?
Jason: I just ground him for life
Maggie: Again?
Maggie: Honey what's wrong?
Carol: Dad, you're not going to believe what Melissa told me?
Jason: What?
Carol: Melissa told me Mark told Kevin that I sweat a lot.
Jason: Well sweetheart didn't we decide yesterday that Melissa's really not that reliable resource? Carol: Yeah but everything's different now dad, I mean, the whole thing is blown
wide open. You see Melissa said that she...
Jason: Wait you know this this would be the good one to run by the old prom here.
Carol: Ok! But then I talk to Mark he said he never even said that or the gummy bear thing, either. Maggie: Mark, who's mark?
Carol: Cathy tells me she was right there when mark tells Kevin that I do sweat a lot.
Maggie: Honey could you tell me who mark is and what's happened yesterday?
Carol: Mum this is nothing to do with how happened yesterday. The point is I don't know whether to trust Melissa or Mark as Cathy says
Jason: Wait wait wait sweetheart, you said that cathy also had a thing for kevin
Carol: Yes, so?
Jason: Well that doesn't make cathy a very reliable resource either
Carol:Oh, god damn it this means everybody's
Jason: Hey Maggie wait.
Carol: Dad, this is just not fair.
Jason: Honey, look, if Kevin’s really worth caring for then he's gotta make up his own mind, eh?
Carol: I guess he already has 'cause he didn't ask me to the dance dad..
Jason: Maggie don't be mad, Carol's just upset she didn't mean to exclude you
Maggie: I am not mad I am just tired of people tacking things out of the cabinet not putting back to where they belong.
Jason: But what are you looking for?
Maggie: I don't know.
Jason: mango we finished in 1982, come on, Maggie, I know what you're feeling.
Maggie: You do not have any idea what I am feeling, doctor seaver,
Jason: Hey look.
Maggie: No, you may know what Kevin Mark and Melissa feeling but you do not know what I am feeling.
Jason: Maggie. I tried to include you
Maggie: Oh don't patronize me Jason throwing me a bone calling me old *** maybe a few years you can bring me back for old timers day.
Jason: We talked about all of this I just happen to be the guy who is here the day the whole gummy bear thing exploded in our faces.
Maggie: It's not just the gummy bears Jason it's the whole past 3 months the way you've been pampering the children making Ben’s favorite chocolate chip cookies
Jason: Oh what's wrong with that
Maggie: What's wrong with that? what wrong with that you're edging me out of my children's lives?
Jason: Edging you wow is that what you think?
Maggie: I don't know, you are the expert why don't you tell me what i think
Jason: Ok I think you feel guilty about going back to work
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: And I you want to be here to spend time with the kids
Maggie: Of course, I do.
Jason: And I think you want me to be good at it
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: But you don't want me to be as good as yours
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: Oh.
Maggie: Well, maybe i don't.
Jason: You know Maggie i was at work when Ben took his first step and when carol spoke her first sentence and when mike committed his illegal act
Maggie:Eh.
Jason: I missed up and all that and now i had the chance to be closer to the kids spend more time then you be that
Maggie: Oh jason i don't.
Jason: No maybe you do i know that feeling too, because it's time that goes and never comes back. They grow up and it hurts.
Maggie: Yeah it hurts.
Jason: Are you sorry went back to work? you wanna come home?
Maggie: No I don't I guess I guess I just want to have it all but you can't ....how's carol.
Jason: Well she's not going to the dance with Kevin.
Maggie: Oh no that's too bad.
Jason: Yeah but she does have a chance at another day that she was pretty excited about. Maggie: Really?

Jason: Well sweetheart didn't we decide yesterday that Melissa's really not that reliable resource? Carol: Yeah but everything's different now dad, I mean, the whole thing is blown
wide open. You see Melissa said that she...
Jason: Wait you know this this would be the good one to run by the old prom here.
Carol: Ok! But then I talk to Mark he said he never even said that or the gummy bear thing, either. Maggie: Mark, who's mark?
Carol: Cathy tells me she was right there when mark tells Kevin that I do sweat a lot.
Maggie: Honey could you tell me who mark is and what's happened yesterday?
Carol: Mum this is nothing to do with how happened yesterday. The point is I don't know whether to trust Melissa or Mark as Cathy says
Jason: Wait wait wait sweetheart, you said that cathy also had a thing for kevin
Carol: Yes, so?
Jason: Well that doesn't make cathy a very reliable resource either
Carol:Oh, god damn it this means everybody's
Jason: Hey Maggie wait.
Carol: Dad, this is just not fair.
Jason: Honey, look, if Kevin’s really worth caring for then he's gotta make up his own mind, eh?
Carol: I guess he already has 'cause he didn't ask me to the dance dad..
Jason: Maggie don't be mad, Carol's just upset she didn't mean to exclude you
Maggie: I am not mad I am just tired of people tacking things out of the cabinet not putting back to where they belong.
Jason: But what are you looking for?
Maggie: I don't know.
Jason: mango we finished in 1982, come on, Maggie, I know what you're feeling.
Maggie: You do not have any idea what I am feeling, doctor seaver,
Jason: Hey look.
Maggie: No, you may know what Kevin Mark and Melissa feeling but you do not know what I am feeling.
Jason: Maggie. I tried to include you
Maggie: Oh don't patronize me Jason throwing me a bone calling me old *** maybe a few years you can bring me back for old timers day.
Jason: We talked about all of this I just happen to be the guy who is here the day the whole gummy bear thing exploded in our faces.
Maggie: It's not just the gummy bears Jason it's the whole past 3 months the way you've been pampering the children making Ben’s favorite chocolate chip cookies
Jason: Oh what's wrong with that
Maggie: What's wrong with that? what wrong with that you're edging me out of my children's lives?
Jason: Edging you wow is that what you think?
Maggie: I don't know, you are the expert why don't you tell me what i think
Jason: Ok I think you feel guilty about going back to work
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: And I you want to be here to spend time with the kids
Maggie: Of course, I do.
Jason: And I think you want me to be good at it
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: But you don't want me to be as good as yours
Maggie: Of course I do.
Jason: Oh.
Maggie: Well, maybe i don't.
