Mr. Mackey's Mom and Mr. Mackey in “Back to the Cold War”

[enters Mr. Mackey's room, holding a tray] Here's your Sunny Delight and Steak-umms, honey.

[indignantly] Get outta my room, Mom, God! Get outta my room!

[worried] Sweetheart... are you m'kay?"

[stops and thinks] Of course I'm not m'kay... you wouldn't understand cause you're a grown-up!

Honey... as your mother, I want you to know you can talk to me about whatever you want. Even if it's about being scared of getting old.

[realizes what she's saying, stops what he's doing, turns around to face her, sighs heavily] Things used to be so much simpler, mama. There was a good guy and a-and a bad guy And we all... sort of came together and loved our country... not like it is now.

[grabs a stool and brings it closer to him to sit down] Ooh, junior. I know gettin' old isn't so much fun, is it? We all wanna go back to a time when we were younger. You're getting to be around 55. Your pee-pee doesn't work so good, does it?

How'd you know about that, mom?

We'll I'm your mom, honey. When a man gets to a point where his pee-pee doesn't work the way it used to, he starts to...well, sit in his room and play war games again, you know? But honey, those times weren't better. We were all scared. People died. That's not something to strive to get back to.

You're right, mama. I've been bad.

Oh, you're not bad-

No, I'm bad-

No, no, sweetheart It-it just felt good cause it was familiar. That's just sort of what us old people do.
