Silver? What's going on?
I've been staying at the women's shelter for a few weeks now. I did some community service there this past summer and there's this woman who... she lets me stay there sometimes. Sort of knows my situation. My mom, she drinks. When she's like this, she's a completely different person. It's like, she screams, she throws things, she blames me. Sometimes she gets so out of control. I don't know... sometimes it scares me.
[to Silver] You don't think I know what you're going through? I didn't grow up in the Cosby family. You think every other family I lived with was like this? No! I know what it's like to be around someone who's wasted out of their mind! I know what that stuff does to people. That's why I never do it myself. Silver, look, you gotta trust my dad or at least trust me.
How many of your friends have kids?
Let me count... zero.
Doesn't it freak you out that I have a child?
Doesn't it freak you out at all that I am a child?
You do not have your own balling ball!
What? It was for my Bar Mitzvah.
Babe, you sound pitchy.
You sound bitchy.
I thought we were cooler than our parents.
We're cool!
[to her mother] I went to Dad's office last night and I saw him there kissing another woman. He was all over her. I'm so sorry, Mom.
Her name is Gail. I know all about her. He's been seeing her for two years.
What?
Honey, she doesn't live in town, so they don't see each other very often.
What's going on? Are you ending it? Are you getting a divorce?
No, I don't want to break up this family.
Mom, this isn't a family!
Honey, Dad and I have a long history together, okay? We have two kids, two homes, friends. We have a life together. We have a life together.
Mom, what kind of life is this?
Oh, sweetheart. It's one that I don't want to lose.
You can imagine my surprise when you called to say you were coming after. Well, how long has it been since our last altercation?
I came to talk about Silver, Mom.
Well, Erin is not here right now. She is staying at a friend's house. Naomi's, I think, or...
Are you kidding me? Is that what you think? She hasn't been staying at a friend's house. She has been sleeping at a shelter.
Well, she told me th... How dare you give me that look. I didn't know.
Oh, why is that? Were you too drunk to notice? What is it these days, Mom, alcohol? Or are you back on coke?
Oh, let's go to another meeting together again. Let's hold hands and give it up to our higher power.
Do you realize what you are doing to Silver?
[to Jackie about Silver] I'm not gonna stand by and watch you do to her what you did to me.
Oh, because your life was so awful.
[to Silver] Your sister is just leaving, Erin.
Yes, I am. And I am taking her with me.
You have a four-year-old with nobody to help you unless by some miracle, he has decided to come back and act like a dad. And now you wanna add a teenager on top of it? Let me tell you, she is no walk in the park.
Well, she's coming to live with me. [to Silver] Let's go.
You lied to me and now you're gonna leave me?
Stop it, both of you. Mom, I can't take this anymore. I can't just watch you...
Oh, get out! I am tired of both of you.
[Silver runs away]
Good job, Mom.
You know girls in Beverly Hills... I wanna roll in style.
I'm a black kid, living with a white family. It doesn't get any more different than that.
Guys aren't like girls. We don't hold grudges. Life's too short.
I am such a gynormous idiot.
