Mom, Beans is dead.

Nobody cares about your stupid frog right now, FedEx, okay?

(Annoyed and irritated)

Stop calling me that! (charges at her, causing the whole family to start a heated argument)

Don't you dare call him that!

Tom

All right! Hey!

Stop! Stop!

Cameraman 1

What's the name of this segment again?

Cameraman 2

Uh, "One Big Happy Family"?

Cameraman 1

Okay, I'm calling Oprah's family right now.

All I'm saying is families are inevitable. It's like death or taxes.

Nora

Does that mean you don't want children?

Chil...?

Leave him alone!

Hello! Look at these-- They're monsters! Honey, you can't want this. That's why you're with me.

Tom

Nora! Come on! We need you down here!

Lorraine

You're stepping on me! You're messing my hair! Stop!

Nigel, get off your brother's head!

(Nora comes downstairs)

Get off me! Nobody cares about me!

Nora

Mark.

Nobody cares about me!

Nora
(tries to comfort Mark)

Mark, what's going on? (Mark runs upstairs in despair) Mark! Mark!

Sarah and Lorraine

What are you talking about?!

Tom

Kids, on the carpet! Now!

Lorraine

Dad! College guys?

What's going on here?

Tom

Where's Charlie?

He went to Midland for the day.

Tom

Midland? It's a school day.

Henry

He hates school.

Course you couldn't know that 'cause you're never home.

Tom

Well, that is about to change, Sarah Baker. Because since I can't go to work without you guys getting in trouble, and since I can't stay home without Shake bugging me, I have brought my work home with me. Guys, meet the family. Family, meet the team.

What's up, boys?

Football Players

What's up?

Tom

Okay, we will be in the living room. We got a lot of work to do. I don't want any interruptions unless it's an emergency. Clear? Okay, now go do your homework. Let's go, guys.

Lorraine

Mom, listen up. Here's the sizzle. Okay, Dad is stressed to the point of a total meltdown. Charlie's like a half a step away from juvie, and Mark's...

Okay, Oprah's coming. We'll talk about it later. Here we go. I just wanna get everything ready. What's the deal with Charlie?

Tom

Fine, thanks. How are you?

I'm sorry, hi.

Tom

Hi. Charlie got kicked off the football team.

What?

Tom

Don't worry, I'm handling it.

Tom
[knock at the door]

Shake. President Gerhard.

President Gerhard

Tom.

Shake

Tom, we need a minute.

(In the kitchen with beans)

Please don't die, Beans.

President Gerhard

The university is prepared to make a huge investment in the program, but we want some assurances.

Tom

What does that mean?

Shake

We wanna know that you're committed to the football program.

President Gerhard

You have to decide who's making the bacon and who's cooking it.

Shake

So, what's it gonna be, Tom?

Tom, honey, didn't you pick up my dry-cleaning?

Tom

Yes, dear, it's in the front closet.

Shake

Well, I guess the wife just answered our question.

The wife's name is Kate, Shake.

Nigel

What a wiener.

Shake
[Kyle agrees with Nigel]

We want an answer by Monday, Tom. This meeting's over.

Tom

What's this?

Nora

Hank slept over. Do you have a problem with that?

Tom

Yes, I have a problem with that! This house is G-rated.

Whoa, chief. Look, Nora's a big girl.

Tom

Now would be an excellent time for you to be very, very quiet, chief. Now, get dressed and get downstairs.

Whoa.

I just... I can't believe you let things get this bad around here. I can't believe it.

Tom

Well, what can I say? You didn't pick the perfect moment to have a career.

Oh, okay, yeah. I'm not even gonna touch that hypocrisy. You told me to go to New York. Do you remember that? Mr. I Can Handle It. "Everything'll be okay. Go, Kate! Go!" Help me, would you?

Tom

So you're telling me you didn't want to go to New York?

No. I want a lot of things. So do you. That's the problem.

Tom

This isn't working.

Yeah, that's my point.

Tom

I meant the zipper.

Let's just get through the next hour, okay?

Tom

Fine.

Fine. Okay, everybody. I know it's been a difficult day, but I need all of you, and I would appreciate it if you could just put on happy faces. Everything's great. We're a big, happy family. If you can remember the lines I told you to say to Oprah. If you can't remember, don't say anything. Big smiles. Let me see 'em.

Mom, Beans is dead!

Nobody cares about your stupid frog right now, FedEx, okay?

(Annoyed and irritated)

STOP CALLING ME THAT! (charges at her, causing the whole family to start a heated argument)

DON'T YOU DARE CALL HIM THAT!

Tom

All right! Hey!

Stop! Stop! Oprah is coming!

Cameraman 1

Cameraman 2

Uh, "One Big Happy Family"?

Cameraman 1

Okay, I'm calling Oprah's people right now.

All I'm saying is that families are inevitable. It's like death or taxes.

Nora

Does that mean you don't want children?

Children?

Leave him alone!

Hello! Look at these, children! They're monsters! Honey, you can't want this. That's why you're with me.

Tom

Nora! Come on! We need you down here!

Lorraine

You're stepping on me! You're messing up my hair! Stop!

Nigel, get off your brother's head!

Nora

Mark.

Nobody cares about me!

Nora
(tries to comfort Mark)

Mark, what's going on? (Mark runs upstairs in despair) Mark! Mark!

Sarah and Lorraine

What? What are you talking about? I'm perfect! I've never done anything like this before!

Oh, no, none of that!

Tom

Hey! Hey!

Cameraman 1

No, you do not want to come here. No, it's the farthest thing from a happy family.

Why am I the only normal person in this family?
