[The family is at a bowling alley and Frank is performing hyper enthusiastically]
Guys, don't get too used to this, okay?
What?
Well, Dad's not always gonna be so nice.
Yes, he will.
No. Not when he starts drinking again, okay? He'll go back to his ways. I don't want you getting hurt.
Hurt?
Yeah, um... Remember that turtle you had last summer?
Walter?
Yeah, yeah, Walter. And you guys were really, really into him for like two weeks, and you talked to him and you fed him. I mean, you took him everywhere with you, right? But after a while, you know, you guys got busy with other things, so Walter's water never got changed and nobody fed him. Then like two months later, Debs, you wanted to show off Walter to your friend Susie, and you guys started looking for him and when you found him, he was all dried up and dead. Now, you see, you guys are that turtle, okay? And Dad's you. You get what I'm saying?
Dad's buying us another turtle?
No. No, no. Forget it. Never mind.
Don't worry, Lip, I get it. Daddy's gonna forget about us when he starts drinking again. It's okay. I don't mind. I'm gonna enjoy this while it lasts if that's okay.
Yeah. Sure, Debs. That's, um... That's a good plan. It took you long enough.
