Is Dale here?
Yeah. What's up?
I would like to have a word with him.
Better him than me.
Have at it.
Dale, Mary coming in hot!
Did you tell Georgie to drop out of school?
What? No.
Well, he did, and you had something to do with it?
Well, no, he was just complaining about
school, and I told him I dropped out.
Dale, you know that.
He looks up to you.
He does, doesn't he?
Which is why you need to tell him that he is
making a big mistake.
Well, I don't think I can do that.
Why not?
Well, I don't believe he is.
How could you say that?
I did, it worked out fine.
Will you back me up here, please?
I agree with him.
You do?
Yeah.
The kid's a natural salesman.
I mean, school's not gonna help with that.
So you are fine with your grandson throwing
his life away so that he can sell fishing rods and baseball bats.
Excuse me? Those fishing rods provided a nice
life for me and my family.
What family? You're divorced and your kids
don't talk to you.
Help me out here.
A diploma would not have made his life better.
Thank you. What she said.
She really took his side?
I don't want to talk about that.
I thought you two had date night.
I don't want to talk about that either.
Why isn't Georgie eating with us?
Let's talk about anything else.
Oh, perhaps this is a good time for a physics joke.
It isn't.
That's the cool thing about physics.
Time is relative. Okay, here we go.
Why was the pirate worried that his shoes
were less than H.
Because he had to walk the Planck.
Get it? Because Max Planck is a famous
physicist who discovered a constant which is
represented by H.
And then...
If George's kicked out, can I have his room?
We are not kicking Georgie out.
We won't start this up again?
Or can we just be mad at your mom and Dale?
And Georgie.
Thank you. And, Georgie.
Let's just eat.
So can anyone drop out or do you need to be a certain age?
You are not dropping out of school.
Until you're 16, then they legally can't stop you.
Good to know.
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
We want me to do about it?
I would encourage you to love and nurture the
one child you have who's destined for success.
[knocking]
[door opens]
Dale, it's for you!
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking I should have went home after
your wife left.
Georgie's only got one more year of school,
and then he can do whatever he wants.
I don't want to come between you and your
family.
Too late.
Listen, I know you're upset, but the person
you ought to be yelling at is Georgie, not us.
I yelled at him. It didn't help.
Is this helping?
A little. Yes.
So I'm dating a dropout?
No. You're dating a guy with a full time job.
And your parents are okay with this?
They'll come around.
By the way, can I crash at your place?
No. My father already doesn't think you're
good enough for me. And I don't want him to
know he's right.
He's not right.
He might be a little right.
I thought you'd be more supportive.
And I thought we were going to be seniors
together. Homecoming court, prom king and
queen. Voted most likely to stay together
forever.
We can still stay together.
They can't vote for you if you're not a senior.
I don't think this is going to work out.
You're breaking up with me?
Yeah.
You're serious?
I feel like I don't have a choice.
[sigh]
Fine. As a working man, I shouldn't be dating
a girl in high school anyway.
It's immature.
Just take me home.
Cause it's a school night?
How cute.
Take me back.
No.
Dang it.
