There's my baby. I made you your favorite. Cheeseburger lasagne.
Pass. I don't want to get blamed if you burn it, so I'll just eat a lunchable.
But... Those are for lunch. It's the wrong meal.
Wow, you really have failed as a mother.
Hey. I'm the only one allowed to say that.
Well, it's true. You punished Erica for something I did, almost turning her to a life of crime. If that ain't failing, I don't know what is.
Oh, you're right. I want to tell her I'm sorry, but she refuses to hear it from me. It dawned on me that I could finally use my crime for good.
Maybe there's someone else who can say it.
[voiceover] Thanks to my scam, there was one tape that was worth every penny. And it was the perfect day to say "I'm sorry."
Honey.
Go away. I'm trying to enjoy my four crackers and ham square.
Look. I don't blame you for acting out after the way I treated you.
I really don't want to talk right now, or ever.
Well, you don't have to because I found a band that'll do it for us.
[Beverly turns the music on the boombox]
[voiceover] Sure, Columbia House drove Erica and my mom far apart, but it would also bring them closer than ever.
[singing] Everybody needs a little time away
No, not Chicago.
[singing] I heard her say I heard her say
Stop doing what you're doing.
[singing] Far away... Far away from their mother
Don't make the words about you.
[singing] Hold me, schmoo.
This is a nightmare.
[singing] It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to stay
This is the worst.
[sniffles; then sings again] After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done
[singing] You're just the part of me I can't let go
[voiceover] And with the help of one soft-rock band, my mom was truly able to say sorry.
[singing] Couldn't stand to be kept away
