1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:02,461
In tenth grade, high school students

2
00:00:02,464 --> 00:00:05,289
are presented with picking a
class of their own choosing.

3
00:00:05,292 --> 00:00:08,159
This is called an elective.

4
00:00:08,162 --> 00:00:10,828
Courses on offer included wood shop...

5
00:00:10,831 --> 00:00:13,394
I'm happy with ten fingers, thank you.

6
00:00:13,396 --> 00:00:16,096
Introduction to agriculture...

7
00:00:16,098 --> 00:00:17,831
I think you know the answer to that.

8
00:00:17,833 --> 00:00:19,656
Wrestling...

9
00:00:20,382 --> 00:00:22,268
I'd rather milk that cow.

10
00:00:22,271 --> 00:00:25,973
All of which led me to the
elective I reluctantly chose...

11
00:00:25,975 --> 00:00:28,976
Psychology 101, an investigation

12
00:00:28,978 --> 00:00:32,780
into why people think and
feel the way they do. Ugh.

13
00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:34,114
All right,

14
00:00:34,116 --> 00:00:35,649
with Thanksgiving weekend approaching,

15
00:00:35,651 --> 00:00:37,736
it's the perfect opportunity to observe

16
00:00:37,739 --> 00:00:41,021
family dynamics and how
our parents, relatives

17
00:00:41,024 --> 00:00:42,454
and siblings affect us.

18
00:00:42,457 --> 00:00:43,556
Now, the...

19
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:45,192
Yes, Sheldon.

20
00:00:45,194 --> 00:00:46,927
I don't find that interesting.

21
00:00:46,929 --> 00:00:48,729
Well, tough knuckles,
that's the assignment.

22
00:00:48,731 --> 00:00:52,189
Now, you'll all be expected
to collect data on your family,

23
00:00:52,192 --> 00:00:54,468
form a hypothesis,
and make a prediction.

24
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:57,237
So you're giving us
homework for Thanksgiving?

25
00:00:57,239 --> 00:00:59,239
Yes.

26
00:00:59,241 --> 00:01:00,825
Oh, boy!

27
00:01:13,418 --> 00:01:19,543
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
... www.Addic7ed.com ...

28
00:01:22,231 --> 00:01:24,832
Hey, listen, something came up today

29
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:27,234
- that we need to talk about.
- What's that?

30
00:01:27,236 --> 00:01:30,170
I maybe have a shot at a better job.

31
00:01:30,172 --> 00:01:33,841
Oh, George, they're finally
gonna make you head coach?

32
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:35,106
Better than that.

33
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:37,678
Special Teams Coach,
University of Tulsa.

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,646
In Oklahoma?

35
00:01:39,648 --> 00:01:42,149
That is where they're
keeping Tulsa these days.

36
00:01:42,151 --> 00:01:43,617
No need to be lippy.

37
00:01:43,619 --> 00:01:46,186
You're not seriously
thinking about moving

38
00:01:46,188 --> 00:01:48,655
this whole family to Oklahoma, are you?

39
00:01:48,657 --> 00:01:50,924
It's 400 miles away,
I wasn't gonna commute.

40
00:01:50,926 --> 00:01:52,767
Well, that's not gonna work.

41
00:01:52,770 --> 00:01:55,796
The kids are all settled
in with school and friends,

42
00:01:55,798 --> 00:01:57,531
and I've got my job at the church,

43
00:01:57,533 --> 00:01:59,066
and then there's Mom.

44
00:01:59,068 --> 00:02:00,934
Am I supposed to just
walk away from her?

45
00:02:00,936 --> 00:02:02,482
No, what you're supposed to do

46
00:02:02,484 --> 00:02:04,418
is support my efforts
to improve our life.

47
00:02:12,481 --> 00:02:14,551
Notes for psychology paper.

48
00:02:14,554 --> 00:02:15,720
What you doing?

49
00:02:15,723 --> 00:02:18,285
Shh. Family conflict has been observed.

50
00:02:18,287 --> 00:02:22,189
Subject M and Subject D have
opposing views on relocating.

51
00:02:22,191 --> 00:02:25,726
You better not be recording
over my Janet Jackson tape.

52
00:02:25,728 --> 00:02:27,461
Would you please?

53
00:02:27,463 --> 00:02:29,363
Who's Subject M and Subject D?

54
00:02:29,365 --> 00:02:32,065
I can't tell you that,
you might skew the results.

55
00:02:32,067 --> 00:02:34,968
Okay, then tell me what skew means.

56
00:02:34,970 --> 00:02:36,837
Are you going to talk the whole time?

57
00:02:36,839 --> 00:02:40,073
It seems to be annoying you, so, yeah.

58
00:02:44,547 --> 00:02:48,115
Mary, I just can't thank you
enough for inviting me today.

59
00:02:48,117 --> 00:02:51,251
You're very welcome,
John. Love having you here.

60
00:02:51,253 --> 00:02:54,988
Last Thanksgiving, I just sat
in my apartment all by myself

61
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:57,024
and ate a turkey sandwich.

62
00:02:57,026 --> 00:02:58,392
That is so sad.

63
00:02:58,394 --> 00:03:00,168
Well, it wasn't at the time,

64
00:03:00,171 --> 00:03:02,596
but now that I have
something to compare it to,

65
00:03:02,598 --> 00:03:05,265
I realize what a pathetic loser I was.

66
00:03:05,267 --> 00:03:07,568
You were never a loser.

67
00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:10,003
Yeah, you were.

68
00:03:10,005 --> 00:03:12,206
Hey, Georgie,

69
00:03:12,208 --> 00:03:14,508
you have any sentimental
attachment to this town?

70
00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:16,877
- I don't know, why?
- I'm just curious if,

71
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,297
you know, we ever did pick
up and live somewhere else,

72
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:20,399
how you'd feel about it.

73
00:03:21,106 --> 00:03:23,650
Well, if it was Hawaii,
I'd feel pretty great.

74
00:03:23,652 --> 00:03:25,243
That's where they make Magnum, P.I.

75
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:27,621
I don't think Hawaii's in the cards.

76
00:03:27,623 --> 00:03:28,889
How about Miami?

77
00:03:28,891 --> 00:03:31,024
Let me guess, 'cause of Miami Vice?

78
00:03:31,026 --> 00:03:32,593
Golden Girls.

79
00:03:32,595 --> 00:03:34,228
Course.

80
00:03:34,231 --> 00:03:35,477
Car.

81
00:03:36,699 --> 00:03:38,067
I saw this one

82
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:40,066
where Blanche dates this little guy

83
00:03:40,069 --> 00:03:44,071
who breaks up with her 'cause
she's not Jewish. So good.

84
00:03:44,073 --> 00:03:47,574
Forget about Miami
and Hawaii and Blanche.

85
00:03:47,576 --> 00:03:50,410
I mean, how do you feel about
not staying in Medford forever?

86
00:03:50,412 --> 00:03:52,312
Well, I guess I'd be okay with it.

87
00:03:52,314 --> 00:03:54,181
All right.

88
00:03:54,183 --> 00:03:55,682
Good to know.

89
00:03:55,684 --> 00:03:58,719
Subject D is attempting
to influence Subject G

90
00:03:58,721 --> 00:04:00,053
regarding relocating.

91
00:04:00,055 --> 00:04:01,288
What about you, Sheldon?

92
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:03,890
What about me what?

93
00:04:03,892 --> 00:04:05,989
Could you ever see
yourself leaving Medford?

94
00:04:07,463 --> 00:04:09,830
I'm sorry, Dad, but
I'm unable to express

95
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:11,565
an opinion at this time.

96
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:12,633
Why not?

97
00:04:12,635 --> 00:04:14,334
In the interest of science,

98
00:04:14,336 --> 00:04:16,436
I have to remain a neutral observer.

99
00:04:16,438 --> 00:04:19,457
Glad I asked.

100
00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:22,575
Hey, fellows, may I join?

101
00:04:22,578 --> 00:04:25,178
Sure. Here you go.

102
00:04:26,809 --> 00:04:28,382
Dang, nice catch.

103
00:04:30,753 --> 00:04:32,853
Car.

104
00:04:35,043 --> 00:04:37,190
Listen, I'm gonna need
your help with something.

105
00:04:37,192 --> 00:04:39,059
- Is it about money?
- No.

106
00:04:39,061 --> 00:04:40,942
Then I'm your gal. What's up?

107
00:04:40,945 --> 00:04:44,363
George is up for a coaching
job at the University of Tulsa.

108
00:04:44,366 --> 00:04:46,621
Tulsa? Ugh.

109
00:04:46,624 --> 00:04:49,836
Last year, I lost
$800 on that damn team.

110
00:04:49,838 --> 00:04:51,309
I'm sorry to hear that.

111
00:04:51,312 --> 00:04:53,773
I'm fine with most of
the Division I stuff,

112
00:04:53,776 --> 00:04:56,243
but these independent teams,

113
00:04:56,245 --> 00:04:58,845
I j... I just can't seem
to get a handle on it.

114
00:04:58,847 --> 00:05:01,882
You think if George got that job
he might give me an inside line?

115
00:05:01,884 --> 00:05:02,989
Mom.

116
00:05:02,992 --> 00:05:04,817
Well, I'd cut him in,

117
00:05:04,820 --> 00:05:06,620
make it look like a Christmas present.

118
00:05:06,622 --> 00:05:08,121
Would you please listen to me?

119
00:05:08,123 --> 00:05:09,720
If we move up there,

120
00:05:09,723 --> 00:05:10,996
other than holidays,

121
00:05:10,999 --> 00:05:13,032
you're not gonna see your grandkids.

122
00:05:13,035 --> 00:05:15,729
Oh, that's a point.

123
00:05:15,731 --> 00:05:18,899
You make it sound like a
Sophie's Choice kind of deal.

124
00:05:18,901 --> 00:05:22,192
During dinner, maybe you could express

125
00:05:22,195 --> 00:05:25,972
how devastating it would
be to be away from the kids.

126
00:05:25,974 --> 00:05:28,551
Well, I don't think I'd
use the word "devastating."

127
00:05:28,554 --> 00:05:30,010
That doesn't sound like me.

128
00:05:30,012 --> 00:05:32,813
Okay, well, use whatever word you want.

129
00:05:32,815 --> 00:05:36,817
I might use... "heartbroken."

130
00:05:36,819 --> 00:05:38,819
Good, use that.

131
00:05:38,821 --> 00:05:41,455
Yeah, maybe. Have you got a thesaurus?

132
00:05:46,428 --> 00:05:47,894
Oh, dear.

133
00:05:47,896 --> 00:05:50,197
Don't be scared, Sheldon,
it's just a parade.

134
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:51,723
I already don't like dogs.

135
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:54,167
Gigantic and floating does not help.

136
00:05:54,169 --> 00:05:57,104
- Hey, how's the parade?
- Great.

137
00:05:57,106 --> 00:05:58,839
Alf is one of the hosts.

138
00:05:58,841 --> 00:06:02,976
Alf, cool. Hey, so listen,

139
00:06:02,978 --> 00:06:05,379
how attached are you to
living here in Medford?

140
00:06:05,381 --> 00:06:06,978
I don't know what that means.

141
00:06:06,981 --> 00:06:08,181
If we moved away,

142
00:06:08,184 --> 00:06:11,318
do you have really good
friends that you'd miss a lot?

143
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,686
I have really good friends,

144
00:06:12,688 --> 00:06:14,521
but I think they would mostly miss me.

145
00:06:14,523 --> 00:06:16,390
'Cause you make friends wherever you go.

146
00:06:16,392 --> 00:06:18,458
I do. People are drawn to me.

147
00:06:18,460 --> 00:06:19,559
Ugh.

148
00:06:20,596 --> 00:06:22,929
Sorry, I'm neutral.

149
00:06:24,098 --> 00:06:25,551
Okay, so what I'm hearing is that

150
00:06:25,554 --> 00:06:27,590
you'd be happy no matter where we lived.

151
00:06:27,593 --> 00:06:30,298
I guess. Dad, please,
I'm trying to watch TV.

152
00:06:30,301 --> 00:06:33,340
Sorry. I'll leave you to it.

153
00:06:38,414 --> 00:06:40,514
Oh dear, Big Bird.

154
00:06:48,956 --> 00:06:50,538
You're making a sandwich?

155
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:52,963
I'm a creature of habit.

156
00:06:52,966 --> 00:06:55,627
Hey, why don't we all
go around the table

157
00:06:55,630 --> 00:06:57,757
and say what we're thankful for?

158
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,164
Come on, really?

159
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:00,466
Yes, really.

160
00:07:00,468 --> 00:07:01,800
I'll start.

161
00:07:01,802 --> 00:07:05,843
I'm thankful to be surrounded
by my loving family.

162
00:07:05,846 --> 00:07:07,306
What about that guy?

163
00:07:07,308 --> 00:07:09,173
That guy... Dr. Sturgis...

164
00:07:09,176 --> 00:07:11,110
Is part of our extended family.

165
00:07:11,112 --> 00:07:12,346
Mm, thank you.

166
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:16,682
And I'm also thankful for
this warm and comfy home

167
00:07:16,685 --> 00:07:20,070
that God has blessed us with
and this great neighborhood

168
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:21,420
with my mom living

169
00:07:21,422 --> 00:07:23,046
right across the street,

170
00:07:23,049 --> 00:07:25,758
and of course our excellent

171
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,160
school system that provides our children

172
00:07:28,162 --> 00:07:30,329
with a world-class education.

173
00:07:30,331 --> 00:07:32,231
Missy?

174
00:07:32,233 --> 00:07:35,232
I'm thankful that there's two
different Ghostbuster cartoons.

175
00:07:35,235 --> 00:07:36,468
That's it?

176
00:07:36,471 --> 00:07:38,304
Unless you know about a third one.

177
00:07:38,307 --> 00:07:40,572
Okay, my turn.

178
00:07:40,574 --> 00:07:44,043
Um, I am so thankful to be able to watch

179
00:07:44,045 --> 00:07:45,561
my grandchildren grow up.

180
00:07:45,564 --> 00:07:47,346
And I can't even tell you

181
00:07:47,348 --> 00:07:49,131
how much it means to me

182
00:07:49,134 --> 00:07:51,417
that y'all live right across the street.

183
00:07:51,419 --> 00:07:53,212
And if y'all weren't,

184
00:07:53,215 --> 00:07:56,681
I would just be... heartbroken.

185
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:00,980
And not just heartbroken...

186
00:08:00,983 --> 00:08:04,362
Crestfallen and chagrined.

187
00:08:04,365 --> 00:08:06,165
And, uh,

188
00:08:06,167 --> 00:08:07,813
I'm also thankful for my health,

189
00:08:07,816 --> 00:08:10,342
that that mole on my hip
turned out to be nothing,

190
00:08:10,345 --> 00:08:11,804
and, uh,

191
00:08:11,806 --> 00:08:13,912
I'm very thankful for John here,

192
00:08:13,915 --> 00:08:15,274
who has

193
00:08:15,276 --> 00:08:18,077
brought so much happiness to me.

194
00:08:19,647 --> 00:08:22,348
That's it for me.

195
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:24,579
- Oh, my.
- Aw, lovely, Mom.

196
00:08:24,582 --> 00:08:26,611
Oh, my, I don't know where to begin.

197
00:08:26,614 --> 00:08:31,090
Well, first of all, I'm
thankful to you, Connie,

198
00:08:31,092 --> 00:08:35,661
for how you make me laugh,
make me feel cared for,

199
00:08:35,663 --> 00:08:38,530
all the ways you're affectionate to me

200
00:08:38,532 --> 00:08:42,134
that I can't discuss
in-in front of children

201
00:08:42,136 --> 00:08:44,870
because that would be
inappropriate, right?

202
00:08:44,873 --> 00:08:46,322
Right.

203
00:08:46,325 --> 00:08:49,007
And I'm thankful to be here

204
00:08:49,009 --> 00:08:51,677
with your wonderful family.

205
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,581
This is something I didn't
experience growing up.

206
00:08:55,583 --> 00:08:59,885
See, my father was away
a great deal on business

207
00:08:59,887 --> 00:09:02,821
and it was just me and my mother

208
00:09:02,823 --> 00:09:06,258
and she was a cold and distant woman

209
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:10,162
who blamed the world for her club foot.

210
00:09:10,164 --> 00:09:11,497
- Sweetie.
- And I...

211
00:09:11,499 --> 00:09:12,865
Wrap it up.

212
00:09:12,867 --> 00:09:14,867
Sorry.

213
00:09:14,869 --> 00:09:17,213
My gratitude knows no bounds.

214
00:09:17,216 --> 00:09:19,298
- Thank you.
- Georgie?

215
00:09:20,307 --> 00:09:22,408
Um, I'm thankful for my job

216
00:09:22,410 --> 00:09:24,243
at the auto shop.

217
00:09:24,245 --> 00:09:27,079
Uh, let's see...

218
00:09:27,081 --> 00:09:29,581
Oh, Alyssa Milano from Who's the Boss?

219
00:09:29,583 --> 00:09:33,719
She's really hot. Mm... That's about it.

220
00:09:33,721 --> 00:09:36,355
That's wonderful. Shelly?

221
00:09:36,357 --> 00:09:38,590
I'm sorry, Mom, but if
I answer that question,

222
00:09:38,592 --> 00:09:41,103
I'd be violating my
experimental protocol.

223
00:09:41,106 --> 00:09:43,796
Okay, moving on. George?

224
00:09:43,798 --> 00:09:45,130
Well...

225
00:09:45,132 --> 00:09:46,899
I'm thankful to share
Thanksgiving dinner

226
00:09:46,901 --> 00:09:48,934
with my family, of course.

227
00:09:48,936 --> 00:09:51,244
I'm also thankful for this
fine country we live in

228
00:09:51,247 --> 00:09:53,439
and all the opportunities
it provides us.

229
00:09:53,441 --> 00:09:55,207
Especially when those opportunities

230
00:09:55,209 --> 00:09:58,377
come once in a lifetime and
require taking a small risk

231
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:00,446
and believing in one another.

232
00:10:00,448 --> 00:10:03,182
We're really gonna do this now?

233
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:06,285
Hey, you started it with
all that school system crap.

234
00:10:06,287 --> 00:10:08,587
I only did that because you've been

235
00:10:08,589 --> 00:10:10,689
trying to twist the kids' heads around.

236
00:10:10,692 --> 00:10:12,324
All right, who talked?

237
00:10:12,326 --> 00:10:14,393
- Who do you think?
- Missy.

238
00:10:14,395 --> 00:10:15,928
Yup.

239
00:10:15,930 --> 00:10:18,341
Well, it doesn't matter
because you obviously

240
00:10:18,344 --> 00:10:20,903
went to your mother and
made her your stalking horse.

241
00:10:20,906 --> 00:10:22,434
Of course she went to me.

242
00:10:22,436 --> 00:10:25,237
Move to Oklahoma, what's wrong with you?

243
00:10:25,239 --> 00:10:26,939
Wait, we're moving to Oklahoma?

244
00:10:26,941 --> 00:10:28,888
I thought Texans don't like Oklahoma.

245
00:10:28,891 --> 00:10:30,291
You're damn right we don't.

246
00:10:30,294 --> 00:10:32,217
- What's wrong with Oklahoma?
- I'll tell you later.

247
00:10:32,219 --> 00:10:35,046
Okay, that's enough of this.
Nobody's moving anywhere.

248
00:10:35,049 --> 00:10:37,516
Let's just have a nice, quiet dinner.

249
00:10:37,518 --> 00:10:40,872
That's it? Y-You're gonna
make the decision for me?

250
00:10:40,875 --> 00:10:42,916
I'm making a decision for us.

251
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:44,790
All right, then.

252
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:46,157
Where are you going?

253
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,492
George.

254
00:10:47,495 --> 00:10:48,974
George!

255
00:10:57,137 --> 00:10:58,747
As we sat in silence,

256
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:00,917
I had a horrible realization.

257
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,036
For the first time in my life,

258
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,573
I didn't look forward
to doing my homework.

259
00:11:16,824 --> 00:11:18,624
Just watch the TV.

260
00:11:22,463 --> 00:11:24,730
Second down, nine...

261
00:11:33,541 --> 00:11:36,241
Difficult day.

262
00:11:36,243 --> 00:11:37,642
Yes.

263
00:11:37,645 --> 00:11:41,546
Psychology? Is that a
new interest of yours?

264
00:11:41,548 --> 00:11:44,549
- It was either this or milking cows.
- Oh.

265
00:11:44,551 --> 00:11:47,653
I once was licked by a cow.

266
00:11:47,655 --> 00:11:49,221
You made the right choice.

267
00:11:49,223 --> 00:11:50,789
I'm not so sure.

268
00:11:50,791 --> 00:11:52,290
Why is that?

269
00:11:52,292 --> 00:11:55,255
Well, I was supposed to
observe family dynamics

270
00:11:55,258 --> 00:11:57,971
over Thanksgiving for my hypothesis,

271
00:11:57,974 --> 00:11:59,131
then make a prediction.

272
00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:01,622
Oh. All right.

273
00:12:01,625 --> 00:12:04,702
So, um, what did you observe?

274
00:12:04,705 --> 00:12:07,599
My mom and dad arguing
over moving to Oklahoma

275
00:12:07,602 --> 00:12:08,940
for my dad's job.

276
00:12:08,942 --> 00:12:11,576
I would concur with that observation.

277
00:12:11,578 --> 00:12:15,447
Now, can you form a
hypothesis based on that?

278
00:12:15,449 --> 00:12:19,177
Well, their marriage is a zero sum game.

279
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:20,446
What's good for my father

280
00:12:20,449 --> 00:12:22,787
isn't good for my mother and vice versa.

281
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:23,877
Excellent.

282
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,323
And your prediction?

283
00:12:25,325 --> 00:12:27,528
Well, based on previous arguments

284
00:12:27,531 --> 00:12:29,564
I've observed, my father will try

285
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:31,013
to reassert his dominance

286
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:33,597
by making a meaningless
symbolic gesture.

287
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,791
Really? That seems a bit of a stretch.

288
00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:53,216
I will never question you again.

289
00:12:58,492 --> 00:12:59,833
Are you insane?

290
00:12:59,836 --> 00:13:01,636
We can't afford a Ferrari.

291
00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:03,105
It's a Fiero.

292
00:13:03,108 --> 00:13:04,895
Ferrari, Fiero, same thing.

293
00:13:04,898 --> 00:13:06,364
Not really.

294
00:13:06,366 --> 00:13:08,233
Now, do you mind? I'm
trying to watch the game.

295
00:13:08,235 --> 00:13:09,701
Everybody's going to Meemaw's. Come on.

296
00:13:09,703 --> 00:13:11,002
Leave that tin can...

297
00:13:11,004 --> 00:13:12,204
It's not like we haven't

298
00:13:12,206 --> 00:13:14,106
- heard them fight before.
- Just keep moving.

299
00:13:14,108 --> 00:13:17,175
Are we sleeping there? Do
I need to bring pajamas?

300
00:13:17,177 --> 00:13:18,844
Just sleep in your underwear.

301
00:13:18,846 --> 00:13:20,212
In my underwear?

302
00:13:20,214 --> 00:13:21,713
I hardly think so.

303
00:13:21,715 --> 00:13:22,950
Wait, I forgot something.

304
00:13:22,953 --> 00:13:24,816
Just so you know, you're
sleeping out here tonight.

305
00:13:24,818 --> 00:13:27,152
Perfect, then I won't have to move.

306
00:13:27,154 --> 00:13:30,255
I just want to thank
you for a lovely dinner.

307
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:05,990
Come on!

308
00:14:05,993 --> 00:14:08,493
Good.

309
00:14:08,495 --> 00:14:10,192
Come on!

310
00:14:16,726 --> 00:14:18,993
You kids excited to go back to school?

311
00:14:18,995 --> 00:14:20,286
Of course I am.

312
00:14:20,289 --> 00:14:21,729
He doesn't speak for me.

313
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:24,298
What are you doing?

314
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:25,533
Having coffee.

315
00:14:25,535 --> 00:14:27,263
Uh, no, not in my house.

316
00:14:27,266 --> 00:14:29,086
Oh, come on, the best part of waking up

317
00:14:29,089 --> 00:14:30,404
is Folgers in your cup.

318
00:14:30,406 --> 00:14:31,772
Put it down.

319
00:14:31,774 --> 00:14:34,375
I can't drink coffee,

320
00:14:34,377 --> 00:14:36,811
I can't chew tobacco, is
there anything I can do?

321
00:14:36,813 --> 00:14:38,446
Yeah, quit talking.

322
00:14:38,448 --> 00:14:39,947
Where's Dad?

323
00:14:39,949 --> 00:14:42,750
He went to Oklahoma
for that job interview.

324
00:14:42,752 --> 00:14:44,618
I thought you put your
foot down on that one.

325
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:46,387
Just keep eating your breakfast.

326
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:48,489
You really think we might move there?

327
00:14:50,259 --> 00:14:52,960
I don't know what to think.

328
00:14:56,364 --> 00:14:58,099
Spending the Thanksgiving weekend

329
00:14:58,101 --> 00:15:00,010
working in my family's
convenience store,

330
00:15:00,013 --> 00:15:02,303
I observed my father and mother working

331
00:15:02,305 --> 00:15:05,039
from 6:00 in the morning
till 10:00 at night.

332
00:15:05,041 --> 00:15:07,481
My hypothesis was that
economic advancement

333
00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:10,520
for immigrant families is
more important than celebrating

334
00:15:10,523 --> 00:15:12,846
a holiday where people
eat until they pass out

335
00:15:12,849 --> 00:15:14,715
in front of the TV.

336
00:15:14,717 --> 00:15:16,083
All right, Tam.

337
00:15:16,085 --> 00:15:18,619
Well, based on your
observations and hypothesis,

338
00:15:18,621 --> 00:15:20,421
were you able to make a prediction?

339
00:15:20,423 --> 00:15:23,657
Yes. At some point, my father would die

340
00:15:23,659 --> 00:15:25,224
prematurely from stress.

341
00:15:25,227 --> 00:15:26,974
And my mother will come live with me,

342
00:15:26,977 --> 00:15:28,708
where she will constantly disapprove

343
00:15:28,711 --> 00:15:31,919
of my hot, blonde, American wife.

344
00:15:34,241 --> 00:15:39,039
Okay. Uh, I think we all
learned something there.

345
00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:40,441
Uh, thank you, Tam.

346
00:15:40,443 --> 00:15:42,109
Uh, Mr. Cooper, you're up.

347
00:15:47,884 --> 00:15:50,739
Beginning on Wednesday
night, I observed my parents

348
00:15:50,742 --> 00:15:54,621
arguing over the possibility
of us moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

349
00:15:54,624 --> 00:15:56,474
Ugh, Oklahoma.

350
00:15:56,477 --> 00:15:59,426
The argument escalated and
then my father stormed out

351
00:15:59,429 --> 00:16:02,341
and bought a Fiero.

352
00:16:02,344 --> 00:16:04,552
And then I went to my Meemaw's

353
00:16:04,555 --> 00:16:06,300
and slept in my underwear!

354
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:13,407
That's it; I've wasted my life.

355
00:16:15,945 --> 00:16:18,911
You want to tell me what happened?

356
00:16:18,914 --> 00:16:20,935
Instead of remaining a neutral observer,

357
00:16:20,938 --> 00:16:23,868
I got emotional in
front of the whole class.

358
00:16:23,871 --> 00:16:25,453
Well, that's not a big deal.

359
00:16:25,455 --> 00:16:27,755
Yes, it is; I'm a scientist.

360
00:16:27,757 --> 00:16:30,191
You never hear about
Newton crying like a baby

361
00:16:30,193 --> 00:16:32,259
when he got brutalized by an apple.

362
00:16:32,261 --> 00:16:34,328
I think you're being a
little tough on yourself.

363
00:16:34,330 --> 00:16:38,232
I wonder why this is
affecting me so much.

364
00:16:38,234 --> 00:16:41,769
Well, maybe it has something
to do with your parents arguing.

365
00:16:41,771 --> 00:16:44,505
Us moving? I don't think so.

366
00:16:44,507 --> 00:16:46,974
Texas, Oklahoma...
what's the difference?

367
00:16:46,976 --> 00:16:49,577
Hey, now, I think you
might want to crack open

368
00:16:49,579 --> 00:16:53,280
your psychology textbook
'cause that there is crazy talk.

369
00:16:53,282 --> 00:16:57,017
I did read a chapter
on repressing emotions.

370
00:16:57,019 --> 00:16:59,787
I suppose I could've been
doing that to avoid dealing

371
00:16:59,789 --> 00:17:01,522
with the fear of change,

372
00:17:01,524 --> 00:17:04,258
and moving would
certainly be a big change.

373
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:07,017
- That's very astute.
- I'd have a new room,

374
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:08,829
in a new house,

375
00:17:08,831 --> 00:17:11,499
and the new house would
probably have a different smell,

376
00:17:11,501 --> 00:17:13,167
and I probably wouldn't like that smell

377
00:17:13,169 --> 00:17:15,002
because I don't like new smells,

378
00:17:15,004 --> 00:17:17,849
and I'd be going to a new school
with new kids and new teachers,

379
00:17:17,852 --> 00:17:19,735
and I bet they'd all
smell different, as well.

380
00:17:19,738 --> 00:17:21,004
Okay, now calm down.

381
00:17:21,007 --> 00:17:22,609
That's easy for you to say.

382
00:17:22,612 --> 00:17:25,246
Your olfactory senses
aren't about to be assaulted

383
00:17:25,248 --> 00:17:26,780
by the state of Oklahoma.

384
00:17:26,782 --> 00:17:28,849
Okay, let's try a different approach.

385
00:17:28,851 --> 00:17:31,352
Can I take you to get some ice cream?

386
00:17:31,354 --> 00:17:34,106
I'm having an emotional crisis, Meemaw!

387
00:17:34,109 --> 00:17:36,222
You can't fix that with ice cream.

388
00:17:36,225 --> 00:17:38,826
Right. Sorry.

389
00:17:41,597 --> 00:17:43,333
You want to go to Radio Shack?

390
00:17:43,336 --> 00:17:45,380
Yes, I want to go to Radio Shack!

391
00:17:50,106 --> 00:17:53,507
Well, sir, that's the tour.

392
00:17:53,509 --> 00:17:56,544
What do you think,
nicer than East Texas?

393
00:17:56,546 --> 00:17:58,412
Very impressive.

394
00:17:58,414 --> 00:17:59,755
Not sure how you did it,

395
00:17:59,758 --> 00:18:02,682
but that is the least disgusting
locker room I've ever been in.

396
00:18:02,685 --> 00:18:03,717
Yes, sir.

397
00:18:03,719 --> 00:18:05,658
Every bit of it's brand, spanking new.

398
00:18:05,661 --> 00:18:08,088
I bet if you had to, you
could even eat lunch in there.

399
00:18:08,090 --> 00:18:11,158
So what do you say, George?

400
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,227
I could sure use a man
with your track record

401
00:18:13,229 --> 00:18:15,536
to coach special teams. Please.

402
00:18:15,539 --> 00:18:19,763
Thank you. I got to
say, I'm real tempted.

403
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:22,036
How does the family
feel about relocating?

404
00:18:22,038 --> 00:18:26,073
Oh, they're all pretty
excited about the opportunity.

405
00:18:26,075 --> 00:18:28,842
The kids see it as an adventure.

406
00:18:28,844 --> 00:18:33,020
So why am I feeling like
you got some hesitation?

407
00:18:33,023 --> 00:18:34,046
If it's about the money,

408
00:18:34,049 --> 00:18:35,685
I believe I can get you some more money.

409
00:18:35,688 --> 00:18:38,388
No, no, no, the money's good.

410
00:18:38,391 --> 00:18:41,254
Well, that's it, then.
You're gonna fit in perfectly

411
00:18:41,257 --> 00:18:42,603
with our program here.

412
00:18:42,606 --> 00:18:44,758
We got a lovely little house
for you and your family,

413
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,026
and best of all,

414
00:18:46,028 --> 00:18:48,262
you're gonna be out of Texas.

415
00:18:48,264 --> 00:18:50,731
I thought you started out in Houston?

416
00:18:50,733 --> 00:18:53,708
Shh. I'm trying to fit in around here.

417
00:18:56,539 --> 00:18:59,405
So we have a deal?

418
00:19:24,934 --> 00:19:26,333
What happened?

419
00:19:29,105 --> 00:19:30,606
Can I take my coat off?

420
00:19:30,609 --> 00:19:32,572
No. What happened?

421
00:19:32,575 --> 00:19:35,609
I turned it down.

422
00:19:35,611 --> 00:19:36,783
Why?

423
00:19:36,786 --> 00:19:38,812
'Cause you're afraid of Mom?

424
00:19:38,814 --> 00:19:41,415
'Cause I don't want to live in Oklahoma.

425
00:19:41,417 --> 00:19:42,554
George.

426
00:19:42,557 --> 00:19:44,490
What difference does it make, Mare?

427
00:19:44,493 --> 00:19:45,592
We're not moving.

428
00:19:48,391 --> 00:19:50,591
As a child, I never understood

429
00:19:50,593 --> 00:19:54,057
the sacrifices my father made
for his family's happiness,

430
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:56,096
which made me somewhat
less compassionate

431
00:19:56,098 --> 00:19:57,131
than I should've been.

432
00:19:57,133 --> 00:19:58,731
Yay! We're not moving!

433
00:19:58,734 --> 00:20:00,356
We're staying in Texas!

434
00:20:08,822 --> 00:20:11,210
- John?
- Yes?

435
00:20:11,213 --> 00:20:15,916
Could we do it just one more time?

436
00:20:15,918 --> 00:20:19,085
Really? I don't want
you to get tired of it.

437
00:20:19,087 --> 00:20:23,890
I won't. Please?

438
00:20:23,892 --> 00:20:26,393
Well, I can't say no to you.

439
00:20:28,797 --> 00:20:31,531
Fire in the hole.

440
00:20:32,601 --> 00:20:36,101
Unbelievable.

441
00:20:37,105 --> 00:20:39,655
Again, again.

442
