So the baby shower was fun?
Well, it didn't require police involvement but that is as much as I'm going to commit to.
I'm excited... but I'm also a little worried about these babies. I'm worried that... we don't make enough, we don't have the space enough, time enough...
I know. We have this conversation before every trip to the hospital.
Yeah. And afterwards, we share an inseparable bond that only this kind of anxiety can produce. It's our routine. Things are going to be really different but I'm always going to love you. That'll never change.
And you will always be everything I love and want to be when I grow up. But after a day like today, I..I..I worry about bringing new souls into this world at this time.
I'm not worried. Their brothers and sisters will make a difference. They'll make it better, and so will they.
See my tummy? That's you.
Maybe I never should have come out.
But...look what you would've missed...riding on Daddy's shoulders...and Simon rocking you on the front porch...and Mary...giving you a bath in the kitchen sink.
My butt was a lot smaller then.
All of our...bottoms were a lot smaller then.
MMr. Moon
It's just not like our son to do something like this.
NNorma
Well, he's actually my stepson, but, you know, I feel like I gave birth to him. But I don't love what he's doing
MMr. Moon
He's letting his grades drop, cutting class... caught him hitchhiking the other day. Hitchhiking!
NNorma
We don't know where he goes. We don't know who his friends are anymore.
FFred
We thought you might have better insight into this than we do, you have experience.
NNorma
You know our son as well as we do. Probably better.
I'm sorry. I have to apologize. I have two new babies at the house and my mind's just a blur. I-I'm sure I should know who you are, even if you're new to the church, but...
FFred
It's our fault. We were in such a hurry, I... I guess we just assumed...
NNorma
We don't even go to your church.
Lou? Anything the matter?
No, no. I just didn't realize you were back from maternity leave.
Oh, he's one of our deacons who, uh, has his own office, but, anyway... I think you were about to introduce yourselves.
NNorma
I'm sorry. I'm Norma and this is Fred Moon.
Moon? Your son is Jimmy Moon?
FFred
That's right. Lucy's old boyfriend. We really need your help.
NNorma
We think Jimmy's doing drugs.
Babies, babies, babies. You'd think they never even saw a baby before. The way everyone goes ooh and aah if they even poop. It's not fair.
Forget it, that's not going to change, what has changed is my luck and I've got to change it back. Did you answer that chain letter or not?
One to Simon Camden, one to Master Simon Camden and one to Senor Simon Camden. That's Spanish.
You can't give me back my own chain letter. You're supposed to send it to three other people. The idea is to keep the chain going or bad luck will befall you.
Bad luck already befalled on me the day the babies were born.
Yes, the United States army. The one with the guns and the wars!
Did they tell you you'll have to cut your hair?
Did they tell you those are real guns with real bullets, and you can get yourself shipped off to God knows where, and for what? Just to get your college education paid for?
[pause] How much would he get?
Well, I'm planning on four years. I'm gonna train as a pilot and they'll give me $50,000, and I'll be able to get a job as soon I get out.
Bullets! Very fast bullets coming at our son!
[After Simon wakes everyone up in the middle of the night looking for his Red Lightning ring]
Should we kill him now or in the morning?
[Sound of the twins crying]
I understand that you're helping Simon and Ruthie out with a little something.
HMrs. Hinkle
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Annie kisses her on the cheek]
Thanks for helping my kids.
HMrs. Hinkle
Thanks for sharing your kids.
You're a freak, you know that. A total freak, freak, freak!
Yeah, your freak brother. And that entitles me to protect you anyway I see fit.
No it doesn't. It doesn't entitle you to protect anything. And who needs your protection?
Who, who!? You that's who. You're out with a guy two years older than you and you're making out with him in a cop car!
There is no law against making out! [turns to Sergeant Michaels] Is there, Sergeant Michaels? Is there a law against making out?!
I'm going to let you two settle this.
Yeah, I know how to settle this. I'm gonna open a can of whup-ass!
