So, how excited am I gonna be to see the garage?
"Excited" may not be the right word.
(grins) Yeah, it might be exactly the wrong word. An anthonym, if you will. (Bill looks bewildered)
(disgusted) It's antonym.
Oh, right! I was thinking, you know, at the beginning of baseball games- the national anthonym?
Guys- guys! I'll do the talking. (to Bill) We didn't clean the garage, and we're not going to.
(looks quickly at Susan) Excuse me?
This better be a joke.
No! We discussed it, and we decided it's not fair.
Yeah! You're not paying us any money, so what's in it for us?
"What's in it for"- how about a roof over your head?! Food on the table?! (Susan nods) Warm beds?!
We get that stuff anyway. If you want the garage cleaned, you're gonna have to sweeten the deal.
I think you're forgetting who's in charge, here!
That is right! And, you know what, after dinner you three will clean that garage!
Fine- if you pay us. (Bill looks at Susan in disbelief)
This is not a negotiation!
Well, then we're not cleaning it!
We're tired of you guys oppressing us! Until you pay us, we're on strike!
(stunned)... On strike? On strike?! (Trent nods)
Yeah, like the Pullman car workers of 1894. They-
Zip it, Encyclopedia Brown! (Bryan shuts up) You kids think this house is a democracy?! No, uh-uh! I'm in charge!
(gestures to her self) Hey, hey-
(gestures to her) We are in charge!
Other kids' parents don't make them do all their work.
Really? Well, do other kids' parents do this? Gimme your cell phones. (stands up and grabs Lauren and Trent's phones, Lauren and Trent both protest) Hey, you got four bars!
Bill! Focus.
But we're on the same plan- (Susan gesture for him to forget it, Bryan holds out a calculator) Your calculator?
They have to give something up, I will too.
Fine! (takes it)
I already feel naked.
