Won't you share your thoughts
with the whole class?

1:06:06
Yes.
1:06:07
I said Mommy reads to us every night...
1:06:10
...because she loves us very much.
1:06:13
Loves you?
lsn't that....

1:06:16
The " L" word, captain.
1:06:18
No, child.
1:06:19
Your mother reads to you every night
in order to stupefy you to sleep...

1:06:24
...so that she and Daddy can sit down
for three minutes without you...

1:06:28
...and your mindless, inexhaustible,
unstoppable, repetitive demands:

1:06:33
" He took my toy."
1:06:35
"She hid my bear."
1:06:37
" I want to potty. I want a cookie.
I want to stay up."

1:06:41
" I want, I want, I want!"
" Me, me, me, me!"

1:06:43
" Mine, mine, mine, mine!"
1:06:45
" Now, now, now!"
1:06:48
Can't you understand, child?
1:06:52
-They tell you stories to shut you up.
-And conk you out.

1:06:56
That's not true, Jack.
You're a liar!

1:07:00
Lie? Me?
1:07:04
Never!
1:07:06
The truth is far too much fun.
1:07:12
Before you were born, your parents
would stay up all night together...

1:07:17
...just to see the sunrise.
1:07:19
Don't be frightened.
1:07:20
Maggie, before you were born,
they were happier.

1:07:25
They were free.
1:07:28
You are a bad man.
1:07:31
Smee, flunk the maggot.
1:07:33
Abso-flogging-lutely.
1:07:35
An " F"?
1:07:39
He gave me an " F" !
1:07:43
Your father went to your sister's
school play, did he not?

1:07:47
But did he go to your baseball game?
1:07:53
How'd you know about that?
1:07:54
He missed the most important game
on the most important day...

1:07:59
...of your young life.
