"Just Had A Good Talk With Dad..."

[ALISON]
September 15.​
Just had a good talk with Dad, and I feel so much better! Underline, underline, underline.​
I'm going to spend four years reading books and drawing. And I feel so relieved to let go of the insane idea that I'm supposed to throw myself out into the world—

[MEDIUM ALISON]
—It's not the world anyway.​
It's Oberlin College

[ALISON]
Wow. I had no idea what was coming.​

[BRUCE]
Sorry the kids must have been cleaning in here. Uh, this is the one we spoke about, the cherry—quite popular.​

[PETE]
This?

[BRUCE]
Uh, also quite popular. Why don't we take the brochures into the office where you can look them over and—

[PETE]
So you say we won't see any other bruises?

[BRUCE]
No, no. We remove all signs of trauma. Don't worry, Pete. She will look very peaceful.​

[PETE]
Thank you. Thanks, Bruce.​

[BRUCE]
Of course. Uh, shall we?

[PETE]
No... I'll, uh, I'll just take these home.​

[BRUCE]
Good idea. Take them home, look them over, and give me a call.​
Pete, get some rest...

Kids! Get out of there! Now!

[JOHN]
When you break your neck, is it just like "crack" you're instantly dead?

[SMALL ALISON]
You guys, we gotta practice our commercial

[CHRISTIAN]
Yeah, we messed it up before.​

[JOHN]
Should we start from the top?

[CHRISTIAN]
Yeah.​

[JOHN]
Wait, should we say "Fun Home"? We only call it that in the family.​

[SMALL ALISON]
It's our commercial. We can do what we want.​

[JOHN]
I guess it's okay... Places everybody!

[SMALL ALISON]
Fun Home commercial—Take seven-million-billion-thousand!
