Mon, the dog again.
I know baby, I want to strangle that crazy old thing.
just ignore it.
It’s easy for you to ignore because you have the old-man hearing. But Manny an d I— we have the young ears.
I don’t get how one dog keeps you awake when you grew up sleeping through cockfights and revolutions.
Mm-hmm. Very funny, Jay. Manny hasn’t been able to sleep in weeks. It’s screwing his brain for school. And it doesn’t stop. It goes on and on and on and on and on and on.
Yes, that could be annoying.
That’s it . I’m going over there.(去找他们）
Gloria, now, don’t go staring something. Because whenever you do, I’m the one that—that she couldn’t hear.

All the children are gone.

I was running in the park, and I noticed that none of the kids lily usually plays with were there.
Well, it’s still early
But then I ran into Lori.
boobs Lori or adult-braces Lori?
Great-shoes Lori,
Oh, I like her.
And she said that they all sent their kids to preschool.
What? We agreed to wait till nest year.
It was a fake-out to make sure that their kids got a spot.
Those shinny bitches.
We have got to get her into school, Cameron, or else she’s gonna fall behind.
Don’t you think I know that?
This is perfect. Oh, leave it to the gays to raise the only underachieving Asian in America.

Okay,here you go. Guys, breakfast. Guys. Phil. Hello.
Totally with you. Kids, put your dishes in the dishwasher.
Okay,no. that’s it. Everybody, gadgets down now! Why are you freaking out?
Because you’re all so involved with your little gizmos, nobody is even talking. Families are supposed to talk.
What are you doing that’s so important?你做什么呢这么重要 你在处理是了不得的事吗
Oh, I’m locking in my fantasy roster. i’m unbeatable. We’re totally getting an aboveground pool.
Die, studio, die! Luke, I told you to put that down now. Come on, baby.
One second. I’m about to beat dad’s record.
You heard your mother.
What is so funny?
Nothing.
Mom’s insane. Thank you, haley.
At least we talk.
Hello.
Hey, it’s me. What’s a good preschool?
Uh, well, our kids went to Wagon Wheel.
And it was good? You like it?
Oh, well, you know my kids are middle-management meterial at best. Didn’t want to waste a lot of money— yes, Mitchell, it’s good.why the interest?
I just realized that all of Lily’s friends are going to school this year, and now she’s late.
don’t worry. She can wait another year. Just buy her a Blackberry, that’a all she’s gonna want to do anyway.
What did she say?
She says to buy her a Blackberry.
Lily doesn’t have the dexterity for that, Claire!
What I happening?
Can you just check with your school and see if maybe you can get us in?
Hmm. I-i can probably get you an interview.
Oh, no. that’s great. That’s great. Thank you, I really appreciate it. Oh, and, by the way, what do you think of that place Billingsley Academy?
Ooh, Billingsley. Very hoity-toity. You can’t get in there unless you’re really rich or you know somebody on the board.
Oh,god, this is a nightmare.
Mitch, it’s preshcool, don’t overthink it. My kids didn’t go to Billingsley, and they are fine. I have to go.(我得挂了）

Hi. We haven’t formally met. i’m Gloria Pritchett from next door.
Larry Paulson. Yeah, I’ve seen you. Mm. Lucky guy.
Wait a minute, then tell me.
Your dog doesn’t barking. All morning, all night. He wakes my son up, and he needs his sleep.
It’s not my dog. It’s my soon-to-be ex-wife’s. She moved out three weeks ago.
Is she coming back for it?
Not unless it starts crapping money.
Well, you need to do something about the dog.
The dog is old and stupid.
Who are you really mad at,Larry? The dog or your wife?
Who the hell os this kid?
Hey, there’s no need for that. I’ll tell you who he is. his name is “shut up your damn dog”!
You know what’s ironic? You come over here complaining and I have never once said a word about that obnoxious parrot of yours. That’s always squawking.
Parrot?
What parrot?
What is he talking about? What parrot?
How the hell do l know?
Wo, what do we do now?
Nothing, we did it. He heard us.
He didn’t hear nothing.
Jay, don’t go. Jay.

How am I supposed to do my homework?
The way I did.
With a chisel and a piece of stone.
Phil.
Can’t unplug of my funny bone.
I have a huge science paper due.
And we have a great set of encyclopedias… somewhere. What do you think the public library is for?
I thought that was a bathroom for homeless people.
Can I still play plants vs. Zombies?
Are you not listening?
But you learn about plants.
Mm-hmm.
And plants are life. Are you against life?
How am I supposed to talk to my friends?
Talk to them at school.
Ot at a juice bar.(果汁店）
Or on the house phone.
Nobody even knows our number.
I don’t even know our number.
So, you’re saying dad’s not going to go online?
Yep.
Dad?
That’s right.
What about fantasy football?
Not a problem. My team’s set this week.球队这边已经安排好了 I am completely on board your mother’s horse and buggy to yesteryear. For the next week, I may as well be Amish. Jebediah Dunphy. Raising barns, witnessing murders, making electric fireplace hearths.
Oh! This is so unfair.
You know what? We’re gonna make this fun. Turn it into a game. Whoever says unplugged the longest, wins.
Not what I had in mind, Phil.
What do we win?
What do you want?
I want a new computer.
Done.
We’re gonna get them off of electronics, with the promise of more electronics?
I want chicken pot pie.
And chicken.
I want a car.
No way!
done.
Yeah, I’m getting a car!
Yeah, fun , right?
Phil! We cannot afford a third car.
relax. They’re never gonna last as long as us.
Oh, honey, don’t take this the wrong way. But I have almost no faith in you. 但几乎对你毫无信心

I know.
And did you see the duckies in the yard? Lily love duckies.
I know. I’m gonna mention that.
Okay, well, do, because that’s really gonna set her apart from the rest of the kids. We should also mention how she always perks up when we watch “Charlie Rose.”
That was one time. He was interviewing Elmo.
You boys ought to be relax.
Oh, I’m sorry. We just— we really want to make a good impression.
Mm. Gay adoptive parents with a minority baby? Sugars, you can get into any school you want.
What was that? Really?
Oh, you didn’t know that? Oh,yeah. All of these schools like to brag about their diversity. you’re diverse times three. In demand. You’re like Jimmy Buffett tickets to these hybrid-driving, straight white folks.

Where the hell is the dog?
Who is it?
It’s our neighbor.
The dog is gone.
Maybe it ran away.
It was chained to a tree.
Maybe your wife took it.
According to my credit card, my wife is in europe, searching for the world’s most expensive hotel.
Then what do you want from us? 这关我们什么事？
You come over complaining about the dog and the nest day it’s gone? You Tell me .
I’ll tell—
How dare you? You come to our house, you ring our bell many times. And you accuse us of taking your dog.
You should go home.
We’re not done here.
Yes, we are.
What did you do?
You don’t want to know.
Gloria’s grandfather and uncle were butchers, so she’s always had a certain comfort level when it comes to… killing. One time, we had this rat…
What? First you smash it, then you cut head off.
It was like nothing to her.
I go to church now.
She left the head out there to send a message to the other rats.

hey。
Hi,honey. How was your day at work?
Amazing. Mwah.
Graat. What happened?
Instead of wasting my lunch hour surfing the web, checking football stats, I put on some mellow music, and I meditated.
Wow. For how long?
I have no idea. Just woke up 20 minutes ago.
Hey,mom. I need a bar of soap and a black marker for an art project.
Okay,well. The marker’s over there, and the soap is under the sink. Isn’t it great how much time you have now that you’re not wasting it online?
Oh,my god. Is this what you always sound like?
Look what I built, dad. Dunphy towers. 200 condos, a happy family in every one.
Way to go, buddy. I got to hand it to you, honey. 24hours without video games, he’s already contributing to socity.
Die! Die!
To be fair, he’s using his imagination.
There’s no fire escapes! They cut corners! I’ll cut your corners!
Hello? Oh,hi. Luke, honey, it’s for you, hi, griffin. How are you? Yeah, he’s right here. Hold on.
Hey, Griffin. Oh,my god!
What happened?
There’s a parasailing-donkey video on YouTube.
Oh,my god. Wait , luck. What about the contest?
I quit. I’m not made of stone, you know.
Uhh! Ic an’t believe it. I got a “B” on my paper.
Good for you .
Yeah.
No, it would be good for you. It’s terrible for me. Thanks to your moldy encyclopedias, my take on mitosis was completely out of date. They don’t even call it protoplasm anymore, it’s cytoplasm.
Well,you could have asked one of us.
Now you’re making jokes?
I’m not making a joke.
Really? What’s the difference between a gamete and a zygote?
don’t fall for it,Claire. She’s just making up words.
that’s it. I need the internet. I’m out of your stupid contest.
And then there were three.
She’s kind scary.
We’re not buying her a car.

Hey, buddy, what you reading?
“ The old man and the sea.”
You like it?
I like that Hemingway gets to the point.
You read a lot of his stuff?
Taht was a hint,Jay.
Oh, okay. I want to ask you something… between you and me.
You want to know if I think my mom did something to the dog.
Yeah.
Sit.
Don’t most kids drink soda?
Who knows what they do?
So, your mom.
Jay, I’ve learned a few things in my 12 years. Don’t skimp on linens, don’t compliment a teacher on her figure, and when it comes to my mom, never ask questions I don’t want the answer to.
I don’t buy it, sensitive kid like you. I think you want to know every bit as much as I do.
You’re wrong. Then why is your hand shaking?
This is my fifth one of these today. I may have a problem.

Sinece a spot opened up at Billingsley Academy.
But I like Wagon Wheel. It had all the duckies. And it reminded me of where I went in Missouri.
Cam, everyone goes to Brillingsley for a reason— it’s the Harvard of preschools.
She’s not even 2 years old yet. She doesn’t need the Harvard of preschools. She needs finger painting and duckies.
I’m begging u please just say”ducks.”
great news, Wagon wheel loved you. You’re in.
Oh. Wagon wheel wants us.
Oh, yes.
Okay. Well, that’s great and everything, but actually we have an appointment tomorrow atBillingsley.
Really?
Yeah, apparently we are in very high demand.
Oh, well, just so you know. I don’t think Wagon Wheel is gonna hold a place for you.
Well, I think we’re gonna take our chance.
Take our chance？ That sounds chancy.
You know, you were the one who called me in a panic. You were the one who needed me to get you in.
I’m sorry, Claire. I didn’t mean to put you out. But let’s not get too dramatic here. You wrote an e-mail.
It wasn’t’ an e-mail. It was a phone call from a land line.
what did you do?
What’s the best for lily/
Did you?
Cam, this is the first time that being gay is a competitive advantage. They’re choosing teams for gym class. and we’re finally getting picked first.
I always got picked first. I could throw a dodgeball through a piece of plywood. But I see your point.

don’t sneak up on me like that. What are you doing out here?
You got in my head about my mom.
Is that the rat shovel?
Yeah.
Are you checking it for signs of dog?
I was going to.
Well, let’s do this quick. if she catches us, we’re as dead as that dog probably is.
What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Why are you looking at that shovel? Do you think did something with that shovel, Manny?
He think you killed the dog.
You little rat
Don’t call me a rat! She kills rats!

You really think that I would kill a dog?
Well, what was I supposed to think?
I don’t know. How about I didn’t kill a dog?
Just tell me what you did with it.
He’s in a better place.
That’s what people say when something’s dead.
Okay, fine. I took him to a farm where he as plenty of room to run.
That’s the second thing people say when something’s dead.
My hairdresser’s brother has three kids. They live in the country. They were so happy to have the dog. That they gave me a jar of pickles. Is that also what the say when something is dead?
Really?
Look. Look how happy they are. Instead of his tied to a tree outside with no one to talk to.
Why don’t you just tell me this in the first place?
Like you would be okay with me stealing a dog?
No.
Exactly. That’s why I didn’t tell you. Now the dog is happy, Manny can sleep, and we have pickles.
Okay, it worked out this time.
But don’t forget that stealing is against the law.
Now, maybe in Colombia.
Ah, here we go. 又来了because inColombia we trip over goats and we kill people in the street. Do you know how offensive that is? Like we are Peruvians!
