out of money for food and... Maggie: Of course sweetheart. How much do you need? Mike: Oh, just thirt...Forty would be terrific. Mike: Thirty, forty and fifty. Jason: Well congratulations Mike. You're first months rent on your first apartment, paid in full and on time. Mike: The first of many dad. Jason: Carol, I think you should consider having a little more faith in your brother now that he's out on his own. Maggie: Jason, do you have any cash? I need to go shopping and I just lent all mine to Mike. Jason: Mike! Mike: Hey dad. What's up? Jason: Your scam. Did you really think it was alright to borrow your rent money from mum? Mike: Yeah. Hey could you hold this? Jason: Mike, come on. Now we had an agreement about you renting, that we, uh, agreed to. Now here is your first day and... Mike: Yeah, but you didn't say anything about where I got the rent money. Jason: No, but come on. Mike: Can you pull it a little tighter? Jason: Sure. Mike: Thanks. Jason: Come on Mike. Now the spirit of our agreement is that there is a price that you pay to be on your own. An here you are, and right away, you're splicing into our cable TV, aren't you? Mike: Yeah, and you're helping me. Jason: Mike, this is wrong. Mike: Well then don't do it. I'll just get Ben. Jason: We've got to talk. Mike: What? Now? Jason: Yes. We've got to get this agreement of our cleared up if it's to have any future, If you're going to have any future. Mike: Dad, can we just talk about this later? I've got class in an hour. Jason: No! We can't. We..you've got a what? Mike: Class in an hour. Jason: Class? Mike: Yeah. Jason: Uh hu. Sure, no, good. Ok. Mike: Ok. Thanks. Hey dad. Jason: What? Mike: I just wanted to say that I didn't like borrowing that rent money from mum. It's just that I really wanted to honor our agreement. Jason: Uh hu. Honor's good. Mike: Yeah thanks. See you later. Jason: Well what do you know. What do you know what do you know, what do you know wo wo. Maggie: Jason! Jason: Listen to this. Do you know what Mike just said? Maggie: Mike's not here Jason and you're hopping up and down all alone. Jason: No but he was here. Listen to this. He just said he was going to class. Maggie: Mike who? Jason: Our son. That's not all. He also said that he wanted to honor our agreement. I'm not making this up. Maggie: Wow. Jason: And, he also apologized for borrowing the rent money from you so he could pay the rent. Maggie: That's why he wanted the money?
Jason: Yeah. Maggie: But he said that was for food. He lied to me. Jason: He realizes that. Maggie: Of course he realizes it. He did it. Jason: Calm down. Maggie: Well Jason, I certainly can't let him get away with lying to me. Jason: Oh yes you can, wait a bit. Maggie: I can. Jason: He lied to you to honor our agreement. Maggie: Oh and that's more important? Jason: No, I'm just saying that finally I think he's showing a little maturity and responsibility. He's actually choosing to go to class. And I think that's the direct result of us giving him a little independence and space. Treating him like an adult. Maggie: Oh if you're convinced that you're agreement is working, I can hold off talking to Mike. Jason: It's working better than I dreamed. Jason: Good! Now I need cash for the market, can you give me the money that I gave to Mike, that he gave you for the rent? You know Jason, if I didn't know better, I'd think that Mike just got out of paying his rent. Jason: Oh can I help with those groceries? Maggie: No. Your timing, as usual, is perfect. Jason: Not really, I was hiding in the hallway till I heard you close your trunk. Maggie: That's ok. Mike helped me. Jason: Mike's still here? Maggie: And he was so sweet about it. I didn't even have to ask. I mean, I got to hand it to you. You were right and wait a minute, there's a bag missing. Jason: Well, we're going to have a son missing too. Maggie: You don't know that he took it. Jason: Took what? Maggie: What have we been talking about? Jason: Talking about the fact that Mike is still here when he said he was going to class. Maggie: We were? Jason: Yes Maggie. He lied to me. Maggie: You seem upset. Jason: Of course I am. Wouldn't you be? Maggie: I would. I was. I am. Let's go talk to him. Jason: No Maggie. Wait a minute. The easiest thing in the world for me to do would be to go up there and treat him like a spoilt child. But we agreed, we're going to give him some room, some freedom. The freedom to fail. Maggie: we gave him the freedom, he failed. Let's go. Jason: Maggie, no. There's got to be a way to get some action without violating our agreement. Mike: Hey. Jason: Sorry Mike, I must have got a little careless with these clippers. Boner: Same thing happens with my baba. Jason: Boner! Jason: The one and only. Jason: Well where's Mike? Boner: Just missed him. He had a history class and he needed someone to wait here for a delivery. Jason: I thought his class started half an hour ago. Boner: Oh it did. Jason: Well I guess a little class is better than none. Boner: That's my motto.

Family Ties (Part 2 of 2)
Maggie: Jason, if I tell you something, will you promise not to laugh? Jason: Sure. Maggie: I miss Mike already. Jason: Excuse me. Ah ha ha ha. Eggs or pancakes. Maggie: You know what I think? Well I'll tell you what I think. I think you miss Mike as much as I do. Jason: Honey, he just moved out seven hours ago for crying out aloud. And it's just over the garage. Maggie: I guess this is something that all parents have to go through. Facing the day when their baby leaves the nest and doesn't need anything from them anymore. Mike: Dad I need your tool box. Jason: Basement, behind the dryer. Mike: Alright thanks. Maggie: Mike, have a meal. Mike: Sorry mum, no time. I have tons of work to do on my place. Believe me, you guys will not be disappointed. I am taking to independence like Carol takes to food. Jason: Still miss him? Carol: Good morning all. The first Mike free morning. I love it. Mike: Behind the washer or dryer? Jason: Dryer. Carol: I thought you moved? Mike: I thought you showered. Maggie: Well I have to change the baby. Carol, will you set the table please? Carol: Well it was my day yesterday. Today is Mike's day. Jason: Well Mike has chores at his own place now. Some of the load will have to shift. Carol: So how come every time a load gets shifted, it plops on me? Jason: Carol, I'm trying to cook food here. Carol: Ok, ok, its beneath me to complain. Ben: Anything beneath you… Carol: One word from you, and you will wish, as I do, that you'd never been born. Ben: What? Carol: So now that Mike's gone, it's your job to insult me? Ben: You got it jumbo. Jason: Ben! Mike: Alright. Electrical tape? Jason: Living room end table drawer. Mike: Thanks. Jason: Oh Mike. Just so we get this rental agreement off on the right foot here, you know that rent is due in… Mike: In advance. Jason: Yeah. Mike: Right, thanks. Jason: That would, uh, be today Mike. Mike: What you mean like right now? Carol: Hu! Jason: That, uh, rent is fifty Mike. You're thirty short. Mike: Well how the heck could that be? Alright, I will be back in less than a minute. Ben: Ha! Carol: He said that he'd be back. He didn't say that he'd have the money. Mike: Mum. Maggie: Yeah honey? Mike: Hi Chris. You know mum, what with me fixing up my new place and all, I've kinda run a little
