Orel, you know you shouldn't upset your mother by coming home with dirty clothes, because then, your mother talks to your father, and no-one wants that
“Turn the Other Cheek” · Season 2, Episode 13
In this episode: Clay Puppington (3), Orel (2)
Ah, yes, "turn the other cheek" - the war cry of the fraidy-cats. Orel, the phrase "turn the other cheek" has been mis-used ever since violence became out of style.
It has?
Sure! That phrase should only be used when someone insults you or makes jokes about your wife. Then you should just grin and bear it. Even laugh if it's funny!
(as Orel undoes his pants for a "lesson") Forget it, save it.
But aren't you going to teach me a lesson?
No, I'm not.
So, what does this mean, you're giving up on me, Dad?
Orel, a father never gives up on his son, because then he's not really a father; and if I'm not a father, all I really am is a husband, and that's practically worthless.
Uh-huh.
Also, you did follow my advice, kiddo, so punishing you would be an admission of wrongness on my part, and believe you me, that ain't gonna happen.
So why did we even come in here?
Well, we had to cast what's called a smoke-screen.
A smoke-screen?
Yes, it's a valuable tool I use in order to give your mother the illusion that I'm actually doing my job as your father.
Neat! You're the best, Dad. I love you.
Sure do. Well, we got about one more minute in here.
(Orel and Clay just stand and sit there for just over a minute while the credits roll)
