:30:02
- Excuse me?
- You don't have to worry about it.

:30:05
Your role is what we call "small."
:30:07
Well, you're what we
in real life call "a jackass."

:30:11
I don't know about that,
but I do know that my being here

:30:14
may have caused some awkwardness
within the family.

:30:17
- You think?
- [Drew] I do, Tom. Seriously.

:30:19
And it's even possible
that some of it could potentially be

:30:23
in some small way
partly my fault.

:30:25
Which part wasn't your fault?
:30:28
Bop, bop, bop, bop.
I'm talking. Okay?

:30:30
So what I've done is I went
ahead and wrote a sequence,

:30:34
so you guys can get a sense
of what I'm going for here.

:30:37
And we're all gonna
read this aloud.

:30:39
And we're all gonna
read this aloud.

:30:40
- I feel like I'm insane.
- That's why you have no lines.

:30:43
- Mom, I believe you go first.
- Okay.

:30:46
"Oh, look at us.
:30:48
I sure hope you like the meal
I so lovingly prepared

:30:52
for the people I love.
:30:54
She smiles at Tom."
Oh, she's...

:30:58
[Drew] Have you acted?
You've acted before.

:31:01
- A little theater.
- I can tell.

:31:03
- I see it. It comes out.
- You were in Pippin in high school.

:31:06
You played Wind.
:31:09
Tom, you have the next line.
:31:11
Uh...
:31:13
"Say thank you to your mother
for all her hard work cooking for us."

:31:16
"Thank you."
:31:19
"Oh, I don't work nearly
as hard as you, dear."

:31:21
Well, that's true.
:31:23
Tom, let's stay on book, please.
Brian, go ahead.

:31:26
"Gee, Mom, I love you
like the dickens.

:31:30
Should we pray?"
:31:32
Gee, Beav, do you think Wally's
gonna give you the business?

:31:35
Oh, there you are, Consuela.
:31:38
Five waters for everyone, please.
Gracias.

:31:42
[clears throat] Brian,
you were about to say grace.

:31:46
- "Dear God..."
- Brian. We hold hands at grace.

:31:53
[Brian] "Dear God,
:31:55
thank you for this meal.
:31:57
Thank you for blessing us
with a family.

:31:59
Not everyone has a nice family.
