Preston : I'm gonna be 18. If I wanna go to Europe, I'll go to Europe.
Lynette : Well, good luck paying for it, because if you so much as apply for a
passport, we're cuttin' you off .
Preston : Cut off from the mighty scavo family fortune ? Oh, no !
Lynette : Tom, why didn't you help me out there ?
Tom : Because I agree with him.
Lynette : What ?
Tom : Well, he's young. He should be having fun. I mean, look--look at me. I'm
a middle-aged man reading the want
ads for jobs that
I'll never get. I should've gone to Europe when I had the chance.
Lynette : Hey, focus. Our son is throwing his life away. We have got to keep
him on track.
Tom : What is so great about the track? I was on it. I did everything I was
supposed to. It chewed
me up and spit me out.
Lynette : I know you're discouraged, but letting our son make a huge mistake
is not gonna help anything.
Tom : Even if it is a huge mistake, you got to let people make some decisions
about their own life. Your way is not the only way.
Lynette : I am just trying to help Preston avoid the way marked "unemployable
loser."
Tom : Fine. What do you want me to do ?
Lynette : I want you to get this stupid Europe idea out of his head. Take him
on a tour of the campus. Get him excited. Show him college could be fun.
Tom : Sure. And on the way home, I'll show my college diploma to the guy at
the burger barn. Yeah. They're hiring a new fry cook for the night
shift .
Lynette : If you're really stopping by there, bring home some onion rings.
Juanita : Mommy, what are you doing ?
Gabrielle : We're going to a family reunion at aunt connie's on Saturday, and
I want to look my best .
Juanita : Is it gonna be fun ?
Gabrielle : Well, if your idea of a good time is sitting on rusty lawn chairs
in the driveway, eating lard in the shape of chicken, then yeah ! It's gonna be a blast .
Juanita : The driveway ?
Gabrielle : Honey, you're 6 now, so I think it's time we had a little
mother/daughter talk. Your father's side of the family's trash, any questions?
