Clip 5
So, um, how's the acting career going, Hank?
lf it was goin' any better, there'd have to be two of me.
eah, we saw you in the commercial with the gargling-- the mouthwash ad.
You know, the remarkable thing about my career is...l only started acting, uh,
a month ago... and, uh, l'm already on TV. lt's the real deal. The career
is white hot, Tom. lt's on fire.
l read that most actors end up in the food service industry.
That's not gonna happen to Hank, Kim.
Candidly, l, uh, think Nora's right. lt's really-- lt's gettin' so as l can hardly go out in public anymore. l mean, really, with--between the autograph hounds and the paparazzis--
Autographs and everything? l mean,just the one commercial... and you have paparazzi?
Yeah. l've-l've actually-- l've never actually seen them...
but, you know, they hide in the bush and they get their shot.
The crazy thing is that now we're trying to sit at home like regularjoes--Yeah, well, honey, it's--And we're watching TV, right?And, boom, comes on a commercial,
and, bam, there's me. lt's, like, you expect to see yourself in the mirror...you know, and you expect to be lookin' at the handsome devil... but not on--not on the TV like it is. lt's, like, bam.! Bam.! You turn the channel. You're tryin'to... you know, get it out, and it's—it just keeps poppin'up. lt's like l can run from me, but l can't hide from me.
What a nightmare!

to Dylan's birthday party?

You are going to miss it!
Now, go to bed!

l'm resigning after the season, Shake.
Giving up the dream, huh?
Just going with a different one.
No regrets?
lf l screw up raising my kids... nothing l achieve will matter much.
We'll make an announcement at the end of the week.
Come on. Keep the assembly line up here. We gotta get this done.
- Where's Dad?
- He went to the game.
Why didn't he ask us to go?
Because... he didn't want you to be there on the day that he quits his job.
- He's quitting his job?
- Mm-hmm.
- What would we have to do so he wouldn't quit?
- l'll give up clarinet lessons.
? l'll go back to hand-me-downs.
Okay, ease up. Everybody listen. Dad's a big boy, and he makes his own decisions...
and he's doing this because it's what he wants.
ln that case, l totally take back what l said about the hand-me-downs.
l thought so. Anybody else wanna take back their offer?
Yeah, there we go.
l guess you could say that when Tom and l left Midland...we had a mess of theories
about how to raise children.
We still have a mess of children, but no theories.
Sure, 12 is still our number. lt's the number of months my book was on the best-seller list. lt's the number of job offers Tom turned down before we found one close to home. And each day, it's the number of times l'm thankful there's such a thing as family.
