5. 185967 - Employee of the Month (第2季)【完整台词】

Ah.

Perfect.

Hey, Ben.

Ben? -What? -Ben, look, I need your help.

-Okay, now here's what I want you to do.

-Is this gonna get me in trouble again? Ben, I'm your older brother.

I'd never get you into trouble.

[DOOR OPENS] -Hi, guys.

-Hi, Mom.

Hey, Mom.

Who left the paper scattered all over the sofa? He did.

What?! Don't worry, I'll clean it up and then I'll explain to little Ben where he went astray.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the Seaver home.

-That's gonna cost you.

-Yeah, all right, all right.

If you help me out tonight, I'll do your homework for you.

You'll do my homework? Mike, I can't afford it.

Okay, all right, look, I'll pay you.

-A hundred bucks.

-Two bucks.

-Deal.

What do you want me to do? -Okay, first, come here.

I want you to get Dad down here, have him sit on the sofa right here.

-Then ask him a question.

-About what? It doesn't matter.

Just tell him you wanna talk to him.

Dad's a pushover when one of us wants to open the channels of communication.

-Then what? -I'll take it from there, thanks.

Dad! Dad! What? What is it? Will you sit right here and, uh, explain sex to me? -Now? -I gotta know by 5:00.

You've been watching Dr.

Ruth again.

-All right, Ben, look-- -Hey, guys.

Ah, dinner smells great, Dad.

I see you've been reading the paper, anything interesting? JASON: Well, actually-- -Uh-- Oh, very intere-- Dad, did you know that teenage drivers with driver's education have incredibly good safety records? Ah.

Ah.

And would you believe what it says here? Car insurance rates for teenage boys are at their lowest level in years.

-Would you believe that, Ben? -You gotta admit, the guy is smooth.

Ah, and, Dad, look at this, my dream car.

A 1972 V-Dub ragtop for a mere 2795.

Wow.

But not smooth enough.

Come on, we've been through all this before.

Now, we are not gonna buy you a car.

Prove that you're responsible enough to own a car by earning the money for it.

Since that means getting a job, it's conceivable you won't own a car in our lifetime.

Hey, great news, Dad, I got a job.

I start working tomorrow at the World of Burgers.

Here's the parental consent form for my work permit.

Just sign here.

Like I said, the man is smooth.

Why can't I have parents who yell? Heh.

What did you do this time? [MIKE SCOFFS] For your information, they just happen to be deciding whether to let me take a job at World of Burgers.

[CAROL SNORTS] Somebody hired you? [LAUGHS] Fine, fine.

Go ahead and laugh.

I just happen to know that Mom and Dad have a great deal of faith in me.

I have no faith whatsoever that he can handle both a job and school.

So we agree.

At the same time, we can't just give up on him.

You're saying that for the first time in his life he wants to work, so give him the chance? Yes.

You think getting this job could be a turning point for him.

-Yes, and then-- -I know.

You think when you love your kids, it involves risks.

Exactly.

Do I think anything else? -No, that about covers it.

-Yeah.

I think I know what you're gonna say too.

You'll say that with this job, he's gonna forget about school completely.

MAGGIE: Mm-hm.

Then we've got a dropout with a car and a lot of time on his hands.

And then the first time he takes that car out he's gonna meet a 23-year-old woman.

And then he's gonna quit his job, he has no time for burgers anymore.

You know what I mean? All he wants to do is drive, and he wants to drive so fast because he's going to lovers' lane.

Going to lovers' lane so fast, that car spins out of control and hits another car, boom.

And it's a Buick, but that's another story.

And even though nobody is hurt, thank goodness ugh, Mike's still in trouble.

Whoa.

He let his car insurance expire, no.

And next, look out.

At the door, there she is.

That 23-year-old woman, yes, that one, and here she is now, heavy with child.

Yes, and she wants to marry Mike now.

Now we've got a kid with a kid and no job no income, no insurance and no future.

You read my mind.

Maggie, don't you think you're overreacting just a little? [MAGGIE SCOFFS] Me? Okay, we both see both sides of the question.

So, what do we do? Well, we do what any sensitive, loving, caring parent would do.

And I call heads.

[CHUCKLES] Ha, ha.

Dad.

Ha.

Uh, I was just picking up this glass that someone thoughtlessly left on the floor.

Probably Ben.

Well, we were just discussing your job.

Job? What job? Oh, World of Burgers.

It just slipped my mind.

You know, I've been studying so hard.

JASON: Mm.

Heh, heh.

Well, Mike, we've been giving careful consideration to both sides of this question, and after carefully considering it we think that it would be taking a big chance.

-But we're gonna sign those papers-- -Thanks, you will not regret this.

-Make sure your grades don't-- -No problem.
