- Craig Manning: [At a restaurant] Good to see everyone at the hospital again. But Dad, boarding school?
- Albert Manning: Well, I couldn't tell everyone you went and why.
- Craig Manning: Yeah, I guess not.
- Albert Manning: You know, you leaving was a huge wake-up call for me. I got myself into anger management, and I've gotten better. Gotten a lot better. Everything working out okay at Joey's?
- Craig Manning: Right now, it's a bit crazy, um, because of exams but uh...
- Albert Manning: But you can concentrate on your exams. I mean, your marks are so important.
- Craig Manning: Yeah, no, it's under control, really.
- Albert Manning: Well, if you need help with anything... . you let me know.
- Craig Manning: I'd have to ask Joey.
- Albert Manning: Especially science. Is that still your worst subject?
- Craig Manning: [laughing] Yeah. Some things never change.
- Albert Manning: Some things do.
- Craig Manning: Dad, uh sorry, Joey got held off...
- Albert Manning: Sit. Sit.
- [takes out an envelope]
- Albert Manning: I got you a little present.
- Craig Manning: [opens the envelope in excitement] Tickets to London?
- Albert Manning: We'll start there, take a trip over to Paris, run a car for couple weeks.
- Craig Manning: Dad! That's awesome, really!
- Albert Manning: This is the perfect opportunity for you and I to climb on-ties, you know, before school starts.
- Craig Manning: What do you mean?
- Albert Manning: It's time for you to come home, Craig. I mean Joey's was necessary, but it's not the best environment.
- Craig Manning: [struggling with words] But... but I like it at Joey's.
- Albert Manning: Of course you do. I mean, with Angela there? Look at your study situation. It is not stable.
- Craig Manning: Being at Joey's is a stability.
- [flaps the tickets down on the table]
- Craig Manning: Dad?
- Craig Manning: [Albert tends to leave the restaurant, walks out] Dad, wait up!
- Albert Manning: Are you talking to me or are you talking to Joey?
- Craig Manning: Well that's not fair!
- Albert Manning: Life's not fair, and you're right, Joey is better for you! This way, he can kiss your potential goodbye, settle for some interesting little goth girl!
- Craig Manning: Don't talk about Ashley like that!
- Albert Manning: And one day, you can take over the car lot!
- [Craig pushes him in anger. Albert slaps him]
- Albert Manning: .
- Albert Manning: [Craig is shocked when he feels a scar on his cheek] Craig, I'm so sorry.
- Craig Manning: And it'll never happen again? HUH? That's what you were gonna say? Because that's what you ALWAYS say!
- Albert Manning: You're just a little screwed up.
