18. 185968 - Carnival (第2季)【完整台词】

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO] [MUSIC STOPS] Hey.

Mother.

Your tour has just been cancelled.

-I thought you were working late.

-I did.

You'll be pleased to know that I did all the dishes and put your dinner in the oven so it would be warm when you got home.

I did the dishes and I put your dinner in the oven.

Yeah, well, who told you to do it? Thank you, Carol.

Is your dad in the kitchen? Ah, no, he's gone.

Left me in charge.

[SCOFFS] Where is he? He's at Ben's school at the Mothers' Club meeting.

-Tonight? -Sounds a little shaky to me too, Mom.

I'm so busy with this story, the meeting completely slipped my mind.

-So you believe him? -Of course.

Why shouldn't I? You know, you've been busy with the paper and a man can get to feel lonely after a while-- Michael Aaron Seaver, what are you suggesting? That a man who leaves his home with two dozen homemade fudge surprise brownies is up to no good.

-Hi, Benny.

-Hi.

[CHUCKLES] How's my favorite 10-year-old on the planet? I'm good.

It's nice to see you doing your homework, but isn't it past your bedtime? Yeah.

I was waiting up for you.

Aw.

Why don't you stay up a few more minutes and keep me company while I eat? Great.

Look what I made in art class.

[GASPS] Wow.

How stylish.

And if I'd happened to eat that, it wouldn't hurt me.

[LAUGHS] They know you, Ben.

So do you have a picture I can put in it? -You want my picture? -Oh, yeah.

Gee, Benjamin, this is quite an honor.

-And practical too.

-Ha, ha.

-Practical? -Sure.

I figure with your picture, I won't miss you so much, even when you work late.

So how was your day? [SIGHS] JASON: Maggie? -In here.

Hi, honey.

Sorry I'm late.

I trust the mothers at the Mothers' Club enjoyed my fudge surprise brownie recipe? -Yes, they did.

-Good.

The meeting kind of bogged down when we got to the plans for the school carnival.

Myrtle Deforest said: [IN WOMAN'S VOICE] "We're gonna have to drop the dart booth because it's too violent.

" [IN NORMAL VOICE] That's Judy Jones' thing so she said, "Over my dead body.

" Myrtle said: [IN WOMAN'S VOICE] "That sounds fine to me.

" [IN NORMAL VOICE] Judy freaks then, "Rawr!" She leaps over the desk, grabs Myrtle by the throat, starts throttling her.

Throws her down, two, three, we're pulling bodies apart.

There's makeup everywhere.

Mwah.

I'm just kidding.

I knew that.

Did you think I didn't know that? Hey, am I off-base here or are you a little tense? What makes you think I'm tense? Well, you're soaking, and you never prune out like this unless there's tension.

If you know me so well, why didn't you let me know that I was failing as a mother? Is that the darn doorbell? Aren't you going to tell me that I'm not failing as a mother? Of course, Maggie.

You're not failing as a mother.

Don't patronize me.

-Did you get fired today or something? -No.

At work everybody loves me.

Well, before I turn in, I think I'll go buff the Volvo.

At home, little Ben has to carry a picture of me to remember what I look like.

Maggie, Ben carries pictures of Rambo.

And I totally forgot about the Mothers' Club meeting.

Do you want a massage? And then I find this.

Read this.

Might have to help me here, Mag.

It's a letter from the Wendell Willkie Elementary School Mothers' Club.

And the first line says, "Fellow mothers.

" And it's addressed to you.

An official body of the Long Island school system recognizes you as Ben's mother.

What do they know, Maggie? They're just a bunch of women.

It's a joke.

Come on.

Laughter is the best way of releasing tension naturally.

Come on, try it.

[LAUGHS] Okay, we'll get serious for a minute, then.

If you don't lighten up, I'm gonna have to shoot you.

[BLOWS RASPBERRY] [LAUGHS] -Is that the best you can do? -Well, without a rubber chicken, yeah.

Jason, I expected some sound advice.

Like, "Maggie, put your feelings of failure to work.

" Do something, spend more time with Ben.

Volunteer for his carnival so he knows that I care.

Why not? That is a great idea.

It's so good, it's so simple.

Jason, why didn't I think of it myself? You're welcome.

Honey, I am not showing off.

I just felt like killing six hours and whipping up a batch of baklava.

-Yoo-hoo.

Jason, hi.

JASON: Hi.

-Oh, Jason, you came.

JASON: Hello.

-You remember my wife.

-Oh, of course.

Annie.

MAGGIE: Hi, Annie.

-No, I'm Gail.

-Hi.

MAGGIE: Maggie.

No, Myrtle.

Girls, girls.

Let's grab our seats.

Okay, we have a lot of carnival business to discuss before we can get to those luscious, succulent and very tantalizing desserts.

Some of which are still warm.

Mm.
