HEY, DAD.

OH, DADDY, PLEASE, CAN I KEEP HIM?
I KNOW THE RESPONSIBILITIES INVOLVED.
I'll FEED HIM.
I'll BATHE HIM.
I'll TAKE HIM FOR A WALK.
I'll TAKE HIM TO THE VET.
I'll... HEY!
THIS LITTLE MUTT LEFT HAIR ALL OVER MY NEW SWEATER!
YOU KNOW WHAT, DAD?
MAYBE IT'S A BETTER IDEA IF I TRY TO FIND THE OWNER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LISA?
OH, RAY, RAY...
I'M PUTTING THIS AD IN THE PAPER FOR MY CAR. LISTEN.
"FOR SALE: '76 CADILLAC EL DORADO.
"LOW MILEAGE.
"BODY NEEDS SOME WORK AND SOME T.L.C.
"ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
SLIGHT DAMAGE TO REAR END."
- SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? - SEEMS OK.
IF I DON'T SELL MY CAR, I'll USE THE AD.
TO GET ME A DATE IN THE PERSONALS.
HEY, EVERYBODY!
OH, HI, TAMERA. HOW WAS PIANO LESSONS?
OKAY.
YOU KNOW HOW WE SAID WE'D GIVE IT A MONTH
AND SEE IF WE LIKED IT?
HMM. VAGUELY.
WELL, DO YOU STILL ENJOY IT?
I GUESS SO.
GOOD ANSWER!
BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU!
TAMERA CAMPBELL OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, COME ON DOWN!
RIGHT THROUGH DOOR NUMBER ONE!
WOW, DAD!
THIS KEYBOARD IS THE BOMB!
OOH, RAY, I LOVE SNORKELING.
YOU WANT ME TO BUY YOU A SNORKEL?
NO, A YACHT TO GET TO THE BAHAMAS
SO I CAN WATCH OTHER PEOPLE SNORKEL.
VERY FUNNY.
GO AHEAD, TAMERA. START JAMMING.
WELL, ALL RIGHTY, THEN!
( Playing "Fur Elise" )
( Playing sour notes )
WHOA, WHOA, THAT'S GREAT.
OH, BOY.
LET'S HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
IN THE PIPE ORGAN MODE.
( Pipe organ playing )
( Playing sour notes )
RAY, DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE OVERDOING IT
FOR SOMEBODY JUST STARTING?
ARE YOU KIDDING? SHE'S GOT TO PRACTICE ON SOMETHING.
- DOESN'T SHE? - I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
I HAVE NOT OVERDONE IT.
BESIDES, IT'S ON LEGS IN CASE SHE BOOKS A GIG OR SOMETHING.
HEY, DAD, LOOK, I'M PLAYING BETTER ALREADY.
YEAH.
( Repeating tune )
( Playing off-key )
( Funky music playing )
HEY, TIA, CAN YOU HELP ME?
WHAT? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
I CAN'T GET THIS THING OFF "FUNK FOUR."
( Music continues )
OH.
THERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
( Playing "The Entertainer" )
( Playing off-key )
BOY, AM I TERRIBLE AT THIS.
TAMERA, EVERYBODY LEARNING THE PIANO SOUNDS LIKE THAT
THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS.
IT'S BEEN SIX WEEKS.
OH, YEAH.
MAYBE I SHOULD TELL DAD TO RETURN THIS KEYBOARD.
WELL, IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN
REFRIED BEANS ON IT MAYBE HE COULD.
TIA, THE ONLY THING
I CAN DO WELL ON THIS THING IS EAT LUNCH.
COME ON, TAMERA.
YOU'RE BEING A LITTLE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF.
HERE, LET ME SEE IF I CAN HELP YOU OUT.
- OK. - SCOOT OVER.
( Playing "The Entertainer" perfectly )
HOW'D YOU LEARN HOW TO DO THAT?
WELL, AFTER SCHOOL WAITING FOR THE BUS
I'D GOOF IN THE MUSIC ROOM AND I PICKED UP A FEW THINGS.
YOU PICKED UP A FEW THINGS?
WELL, TAMERA, MUSIC ISN'T THAT HARD.
IT'S BASED ON MATHEMATIC PERMUTATIONS.
BUT PAINTING'S MORE MY MEDIUM. YOU KNOW, TAMERA,
YOU OUGHT TO GET STARTED ON YOUR PAINTING TOO.
THE ART SHOW'S COMING UP ON THE 13th.
YEAH.
HOW HARD CAN PAINTING BE?
UH-OH.
THAT PAINTING LOOKS HARD.
WELL, TIA, WE'RE TWINS.
WE HAVE THE SAME GENES.
THERE IS NO REASON I CAN'T BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU ARE.
( Playing off-key )
OH, MAN!
I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE PIANO!
OUR EGGS DIDN'T SPLIT EVENLY. YOU GOT ALL THE GOOD GENES.
YOU'RE BEING SILLY.
AM NOT. YOU GOT THE MATH GENES, THE SCIENCE GENES, THE ART GENES
AND WHAT GENES ARE LEFT FOR ME?
WELL, I'VE GOT SOME RIPPED JEANS IN THE CLOSET UPSTAIRS.
AND YOU GOT THE JOKE GENES TOO.
OH, COME ON, TAMERA.
YOU'RE AS TALENTED AS ME.
YOU JUST HAVE TO APPLY YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I AM GOING TO APPLY MYSELF.
I'M GOING TO START PRACTICING EVERY SINGLE DAY.
WELL, EXCEPT WHEN ME AND THE GANG
HAVE TO HANG OUT AT SENOR TACO.
OR EVERY DAY AT 4:00 WHEN I HAVE TO WATCH TEMPESTT BLEDSOE.
OR WHEN I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE PRACTICING.
TAMERA, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY APPLYING YOURSELF.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WELL, THERE'S TEN MINUTES BEFORE TEMPESTT COMES ON!
I'M GOING TO START PRACTICING RIGHT NOW.
( Playing "The Entertainer" )
( Playing off-key )
HEY, I'M SOUNDING BETTER ALREADY!
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY BETTER
IF YOU PRACTICE ALONE
SO I'M NOT DISTRACTING YOU WITH MY LOUD BRUSH STROKES.
OH, WHAT IS THAT SOUND, BUT THE MELODY OF THE GODS?
I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING, DAD.
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR PLAYING.
OH, COME ON. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
NO REALLY... I WOULD HAVE SAID
SOMETHING BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T WANT
TO SPOIL YOUR FUN.
BUT YOU'RE SHOWING A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT.
YOU REALLY THINK SO?
OH, ABSOLUTELY.
AND I WAS ONLY PLAYING WITH ONE HAND.
OH, WOW.
YOU MADE ALL THAT... SOUND WITH JUST ONE HAND?
YEAH.
YOU JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
AND ANOTHER THING, TAMERA
YOUR SIDE OF THE EGG IS DOING JUST FINE.
IT GETS A LITTLE SCRAMBLED AROUND FINALS
BUT... OTHER THAN THAT... OH, THANKS DAD.
YOU WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER TUNE?
NO. I'VE GOT THAT FIRST TUNE PLAYING UP IN MY HEAD.
SO, YOU JUST KEEP PRACTICING AND I'll LISTEN TO IT UP HERE.
( Playing "The Entertainer" )
( Sour notes )
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK, MR. SOLAKIAN?
THIS BABY IS A REAL BEAST, ISN'T IT?
THERE WAS ONLY ONE OWNER BEFORE ME.
I GOT IT FROM A LADY HERE IN DETROIT
WHO ONLY USED IT TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.
BUT THERE ARE 218,000 MILES ON IT.
WELL, SHE WORKED IN CHICAGO.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CAR.
I DON'T THINK I WANT IT.
WOW!
LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF.
HOW MUCH FOR THIS COOL SWAG LAMP?
THAT'S A PIECE OF JUNK.
I'll GIVE YOU $2.50 FOR THIS.
2.50 FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL, ANTIQUE CIRCA 1967 LIGHTING FIXTURE?
SOLAKIAN, ARE YOU CRAZY?
OKAY. THREE DOLLARS.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING.
I THINK I MIGHT COME BACK WITH MY WIFE ANNAHID.
THIS GARAGE IS A VERITABLE HORN OF PLENTY.
OH, YOU THINK SO, HUH?
MAYBE I'll HAVE A GARAGE SALE. YEAH.
TURN MY TRASH INTO CASH.
HOW MUCH FOR THIS WRENCH?
OH NO, I CAN'T SELL THAT. THAT'S RAY'S.
- A BUCK? - RAY WHO?
I'll BE BACK.
RAY, I JUST MADE FOUR DOLLARS IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.
YOU MADE THAT MUCH FOR THIS CAR?
WHAT DID YOU DO, THROW IN A LOT OF EXTRAS?
I DIDN'T SELL THE CAR.
NO. I SOLD THIS JUNKY OLD SWAG LAMP OVER HERE.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF JUNK WE COULD SELL...
OLD CLOTHES, OLD RECORDS, OLD CHOTCHKES.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SELLING YOUR CAR.
LOOK, I'll CUT YOU IN FOR A TASTE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT ME IN FOR A TASTE
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
GO AHEAD AND HAVE YOUR LITTLE GARAGE SALE.
IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET RID OF SOME OF THIS STUFF.
THANK YOU, RAY.
YOU LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?
YEAH. HAVE YOU SEEN A NUMBER SIX CRESCENT WRENCH?
WAS IT ABOUT THIS LONG, SILVERY, WITH THE WORDS
"PROPERTY OF R. CAMPBELL" SCRATCHED INTO IT?
YEAH.
NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
( Discordant piano notes )
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING?
WELL, WE THOUGHT
SINCE YOU WERE GOING TO PRACTICE WE'D LEAVE YOU ALONE.
NO, I WANTED YOU GUYS TO HEAR THIS PIECE
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
OH, WE'D LOVE TO.
OH, TIA, GOOD, YOU'RE HERE.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO PLAY "THE ENTERTAINER."
I CAN COME BACK LATER.
I WANT YOU TO HEAR IT TOO.
TIA, IS THAT YOUR PAINTING?
OH, YEAH. I FINALLY FINISHED.
OF COURSE, ART'S NEVER REALLY FINISHED.
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THAT FRUIT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS, I COULD EAT IT.
WELL, YOU DID.
THAT'S WHY I HAD TO FINISH IT FROM MEMORY.
IT'S SURE TO BE WELL-RECEIVED AT THE ART SHOW.
THANKS, EVERYBODY.
TAMERA, HOW'S YOUR PAINTING COMING?
DAD, PLEASE, ONE MASTERPIECE AT A TIME.
I'VE BEEN WORKING HARD MASTERING THE PIANO.
( Playing "The Entertainer" )
( Sour note )
WAIT, WAIT. THAT DIDN'T COUNT.
LET ME DO THAT AGAIN.
OKAY? READY AND BEGIN.
( Playing off-key )
WAIT, WAIT... NO, DEAR.
THAT'S GREAT.
YOU'RE DOING SO WELL.
REALLY. WASN'T SHE, GUYS?
YOU AREN'T JUST SAYING THAT TO BE NICE, ARE YOU?
'CAUSE I'M SO INTO PLAYING
IT'S HARD TO HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE.
NO, YOU PLAY WITH VERVE AND... STYLE AND...
ZEST!
THAT'S THE WORD I WAS GOING TO SAY.
OH, YES, VERY ZESTY.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, TAMERA.
HONESTLY, DAD?
WOULD I LIE TO YOU?
RAY, WHY DID YOU LIE TO HER?
I DIDN'T LIE TO HER.
I WAS GIVING HER ENCOURAGEMENT.
SHE MIGHT TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY.
SHE WON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY.
BY THE WAY, DAD MY PIANO TEACHER
WAS TRYING TO DISCOURAGE ME FROM PLAYING
IN THE BIG RECITAL NEXT WEEK
BUT SINCE YOU THINK I'M DOING SO WELL
I'M GOING TO BE IN THAT RECITAL.
YOU ARE?
THANKS, DAD.
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU I WOULD HAVE QUIT
PLAYING.
( Discordant piano notes )
( Classical music playing )
HE'S NOT THAT MUCH BETTER THAN TAMERA.
THANK YOU, ROLAND.
THANK YOU.
OH, RIGHT DOWN THE HALL AND TURN LEFT.
AND DON'T FORGET TO WASH YOUR HANDS AFTERWARDS.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
PARENTS BE SURE TO SIGN YOUR LITTLE ONES UP
FOR THE SUMMER SESSION HERE
AT THE MITUSHKA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.
SPACES ARE FILLING UP FAST.
JUST A WORD OF WARNING.
ALSO, P.S. GOOD NEWS: WE NOW TAKE VISA.
SO YOUR YOUNG ONES CAN PLAY NOW AND PAY LATER.
LET'S KEEP THINGS MOVING ALONG.
OUR NEXT YOUNG PERFORMER DIDN'T SIGN UP IN TIME

BUT YOU CAN FIND HER NAME PENCILED IN

EVERYONE, LET'S GIVE A NICE CARL MITUSHKA
CONSERVATORY WELCOME TO TAMERA CAMPBELL.
"THE ENTERTAINER" BY THE DEAD SCOTT JOPLIN.
( Sour notes )
WAIT, WAIT.
THAT DIDN'T COUNT.
MOM, SHE PLAYS BAD.
HONEY, NOW THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
IT'S "SHE PLAYS BADLY."
OH, POOR TAMERA.
SHE JUST WANTS TO MAKE IT PERFECT.
WELL, THEN, WE MAY BE HERE A WHILE.
( Playing off-key )
WAIT, WAIT.
( Sour notes )
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
( Sour notes ) WAIT, WAIT.
OH, PLEASE!
( Finishes piece flawlessly )
THANK YOU, TAMERA.
WAIT. YOU DIDN'T LET ME BRING IT HOME.
YOU WERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, DARLING.
WASN'T SHE DAZZLING?
ENCORE! ENCORE!
NO! NO ENCORES!
WHAT I MEAN, OF COURSE, IS ONLY ONE NUMBER PER STUDENT.
OH, REMEMBER, OUR TCHAIKOVSKY FANTASY CAMP
BEGINS THIS SUMMER.
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.
YOU WERE PRETTY GOOD.
YEAH, BUT YOU STINK.
"THE ENTERTAINER."
HOW IRONIC.
THANKS A LOT, DAD.
TAMERA!
HEY, TAMERA, YOU GOT ANYTHING
FOR THE GARAGE SALE?
YEAH. ONE ELECTRIC KEYBOARD
WITH SOME REFRIED BEANS BETWEEN THE KEYS.
ONLY PLAYED A FEW TIMES... ROTTEN.
COME ON, YOU DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF THAT KEYBOARD.
I CAN'T PLAY IT.
YES, BUT I CAN...
SEE YOU'RE TRYING TO PAINT. BYE.
HI, TAMERA.
YOUR PAINTING IS... COMING ALONG NICELY.
DAD, JUST GIVE IT UP.
YOUR CREDIBILITY IS SHOT.
IF YOU'RE STILL REFERRING
TO THE PIANO RECITAL... WHICH I STILL THINK
WENT ALL RIGHT... I WAS JUST TRYING TO
GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENT.
DAD, YOU CROSSED THE LINE FROM ENCOURAGEMENT TO LYING.
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME THAT I PLAYED BAD?
THAT'S PLAYED "BADLY".
THANKS FOR FINALLY TELLING THE TRUTH.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
PARENTING DOESN'T COME WITH AN OWNER'S MANUAL.
I'D DO ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING HURT.
DAD, I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TREAT ME LIKE A BABY.
LIKE THE TIME WHEN YOU TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GOLDFISH.
YOU MEAN THE ONE THAT RAN AWAY?
DAD, THAT FISH WAS FLUSHED, AND I KNOW IT.
YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME THE TRUTH
THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY TALENT.
SO, LISA, HOW MUCH FOR THE PHONE AND THE CROCK POT?
HEY, WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THE HOUSE?
BROWSING?
THE STUFF IN THE HOUSE IS NOT FOR SALE.
PLEASE, THIS IS AMERICA. EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE.
I'll HAVE YOU KNOW THERE ARE THREE THINGS.
IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE NOT FOR SALE.
JUSTICE IS NOT FOR SALE, FREEDOM IS NOT FOR SALE
AND THAT CROCK POT IS NOT FOR SALE, YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES. SO, HOW MUCH FOR THE PHONE?
RHONDA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I THOUGHT I'D COME HELP YOUR FAMILY
CLAW THEIR WAY OUT OF FINANCIAL RUIN.
WE'RE JUST CLEANING OUT THE GARAGE.
SURE, SURE. WHATEVER.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT YOU ONLY CAME OUT AT NIGHT
TO HOWL AT THE MOON.
OH, I GET IT.
A SHOT AT ME.
NICE TRY.
LEAVE TIA ALONE, RHONDA.
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST
SMARTEST, SEXIEST, LOVELIEST... WHAT WAS MY POINT?
HEY, LISA, ALL RIGHT!
YOU ALMOST CLEARED OUT THE GARAGE.
GOT RID OF ALL THIS JUNK.
YEAH, I MADE LOTS OF DOLLARS.
( Chuckling )
OH, THANK YOU.
HEY, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
REDD FOXX! PEACHES AND HERB!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET RID OF THE JUNK
NOT THE GOOD STUFF.
THESE ALBUMS ARE WORTH A FORTUNE.
I KNOW. I GOT $10 FOR THEM.
MAY I HAVE THESE BACK, PLEASE, MA'AM?
NO. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THEM.
LISA, WOULD YOU GIVE THE WOMAN HER MONEY BACK?
NO. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
ALL RIGHT, I'll BUY THEM BACK.
HERE IS YOUR $10.
HMM! FORGET IT.
FIFTEEN.
ALL RIGHT, 15.
WELL, I'll BE SEEING YOU, LISA.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.
WHERE YOU GOING WITH THAT PERFECTLY GOOD WAFFLE IRON?
I'M GOING TO MAKE WAFFLES.
WELL, I WANT IT BACK.
HOW MUCH YOU PAY FOR IT?
FIVE, TEN... TWENTY.
ALL RIGHT, HERE'S YOUR $20.
I PAID 20.
YOU'RE NOT PAYING 20.
TIA, I REMEMBER WHEN
YOU WORE THIS LITTLE HAT ON PICTURE DAY.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN LAUGHING AT YOU.
AND THIS SWEATER.
YOU LOOKED LIKE A SUNBURNED BUMBLEBEE.
WE GOT A WHOLE WEEK OUT OF THAT ONE.
YOU KNOW, I OUGHT TO BUY ALL THIS STUFF.
THERE'S SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
THIS STUFF IS REALLY HIDEOUS, RHONDA.
OOPS. SORRY.
UH, WE'VE BEEN USING IT AS A RAG.
OH, AM I IN TROUBLE NOW.
HEY, RAY, INSTEAD OF SELLING MY CAR
I'M FIXING IT.
I MADE SO MUCH MONEY.
SO DID WE.
( Crowd chattering )
LISA, LISA.
I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT TAMERA'S PAINTING
AND IT'S TERRIBLE.
WHAT DO I SAY TO HER?
IT'S THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT SHE
ASKED YOU TO DO.
TELL HER THE TRUTH.
OKAY, BUT MY WORDS CAN CUT LIKE A KNIFE.
RAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE VICIOUS.
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
RAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY NEW BRACELET?
I GOT IT WITH MY GARAGE SALE MONEY.
WELL, TO BE KIND OF HONEST, IT'S GAUDY.
I WASN'T THE ONE WHO ASKED YOU TO BE HONEST.
HEY, DAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY PAINTING?
WELL, I DON'T CARE FOR IT A BIT.
OH, DAD, YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT
'CAUSE I TOLD YOU TO BE HONEST.
NO, NO, NO, I'M BEING HONEST.
IT LACKS STYLE, COMPOSITION, UH...
IT'S ONE OF THE WORST PAINTINGS I'VE EVER SEEN.
DAD, JUST GIVE IT UP.
ALL RIGHT, I'll PROVE IT TO YOU.
I WANT YOUR OPINION.
TELL HER HOW BAD THIS IS.
HOW CAN YOU INSULT THIS YOUNG LADY'S WORK?
OH, IT'S OKAY. I'M HER FATHER.
GO AHEAD TELL HER IT'S TERRIBLE.
TERRIBLE? THIS IS A PROMISING PIECE OF ARTISTIC WORK.
OH, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
DAD, THIS IS MR. ZOLOFT, THE ART TEACHER.
OH.
IT'S SO INSPIRING, UPLIFTING.
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
I CALL IT "LIFE IS DARK AND BAD."
SO, YOU REALLY THINK I'M GOOD?
YOU HAVE A NATURAL TALENT, AND I CAN TELL
WHERE YOU GET YOUR INNER TURMOIL.
BUT TAKE HEART.
PICASSO'S PARENTS WERE NO PICNIC EITHER.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
JUST A MINUTE, MR. ZOLOFT.
MY FATHER IS A PICNIC.
HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ART.
RIGHT.
SEE, I ASKED HIM TO BE HONEST WITH ME.
HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ME
BUT I'D RATHER HE'D DO IT BY TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
IT'S YOUR LIFE, KID.
WELL, DAD, HOW ABOUT THAT?
I'M AN ARTIST.
I'M NOT FROM THE SHALLOW END OF THE GENE POOL.
TELL YOU WHAT, ON THE WAY HOME
WE'LL STOP BY THE ART SUPPLY STORE
AND WE'LL PICK UP MORE CANVASES, PAINTS
AND WHY STOP AT THAT?
WE'LL GET SOME CLAY, AND WE'LL HAVE YOU DO
SOME OF THOSE WEIRD SCULPTURES.
WHY NOT, DAD?
I CAN DO ANYTHING.
I GOT INNER TURMOIL.
SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT.
