Hank (2009) s01e01 Episode Script
Pilot
"OK, stay close everyone.
Our car will be here in a second" I just hate that the whole city is watching our lives being carted away.
Nobody knows it's our stuff, Tilly.
Keep it moving, boys.
Keep it moving.
They're bringing the car up right now.
Thank you, Don.
We've got a long drive to Virginia.
I read about what happened to you in the papers, Mr.
Pryor.
I'm sorry you lost your everything.
That's very kind of you, don.
But don't feel sorry for Hank Pryor.
Never feel sorry for Hank Pryor.
You can feel sorry for the woman who lives with Hank Pryor.
I'm gonna miss this place, Hank.
Tilly, let me tell you again what I told the board of my company this downturn is an opportunity for us to find out what we're made of, to emerge stronger, to snatch success from the jaws of failure.
You should have seen their faces, Til.
It killed them to fire me.
Bastards.
- Unanimous bastards.
- Yes.
It's gonna take a lot more than a hostile takeover and losing all our savings to get me down.
I'm Hank Pryor, damn it.
I'm gonna get us back up on top, maybe not today maybe today.
Maybe today.
There's the smile.
When you first told me you wanted to move back to river bend, I sort of wanted to, I don't know, kick ya.
But I mean, I did grow up there, and now there's a part of me that's looking forward to the move.
- Of course.
Of course.
- Not a big part.
Come on, though.
River be where better to rise from the ashes than where I opened the very first Pryor sporting goods 170 stores ago? - Yeah, it's also where you met me.
- That, too.
That, too.
There goes our mattress.
We've had many an exciting evening on the old girl? Not lately, but still.
- Who's that with Madelyn? - Spencer.
Spencer? Well, they've been dating for five months, Hank.
He looks like an idiot.
Is he an idiot? Henry, honey, that's dangerous.
Excited I am.
Undertaking a grand adventure are we.
Why is the boy talking like that? What? It's Yoda, Hank.
Yoda's his hero.
What, the kung fu frog from "Star Wars" is his hero? That boy needs me, Tilly.
Now that I'm no longer a slave to that damn company, I've got a chance to be a real hands-on dad.
This is an opportunity for us to start over as a family.
Team Pryor.
Yeah, you know, I guess, in a way, we're lucky.
We're blessed.
If you and I weren't us, i'd wish we were.
There's our car.
Children, let's go! Consuela arrivederci.
-= 101 =- "Pilot" VO By : ¤Aka¤ Team Subs-Addicts" This is lovely.
Trees, grass it's like we're living in Central Park.
Which was our other option.
I'm kidding.
Here we go.
This Is exactly what we needed to simplify, get back to basics.
No more long walks to the kitchen.
The kitchen's right there.
And we never knew our neighbors in New York, but here, in river bend look.
There he is.
Hello! He seems like a Cheery Fellow.
Maybe later he'll bring us a pie.
Then we can bring him a shirt.
Speaking of local flavor, my brother's gonna drop by later.
Probably eager to welcome us back to his tax bracket.
- Mom! Mommy! - Henry, we're in here, honey.
Virginia is awesome.
I cannot wait to go to the bathroom here.
Yes, I imagine that's one of the activities we'll all enjoy.
Sweetheart, why don't you go out and check out the backyard? I'll bet you there's tons of fun stuff out there that you and your daddy can do together.
Maybe later we can go out and throw a baseball.
At what? I hope there's a shed.
I need a place for my secret projects.
He's an odd little duck, isn't he? Oh My God.
It's like a horror film in here.
At least in a horror film, the pretty girl dies.
Even the stove is trying to make a run for it.
Mom, why does god hate us? Honey - I don't know.
- Tilly.
Madelyn, why don't you just give a chance? I think you'll soon be saying what your mother and I are saying "Yes, we can.
" You can't use that.
That's Obama's thing.
He owns those words, does he? You know, my high school baseball team had the same slogan on our run to the state finals Yes, we can.
Ultimately, of course, we couldn't.
But Not because of me.
I hit.
500 for the series.
That is such a great story, daddy.
Tell it again.
Fine.
You don't want me to say "Yes, we can"? I'll do the President one better.
I say, yes, we will.
Yeah, because you're better than him.
He's the President.
- I could have been president.
- Yeah, right.
This is America, young lady.
A rich white man has just as much a chance of being President as anybody else.
What the hell was that? Consuela! Oh, right.
Hank, now that you're gonna be spending some time at home, and it looks like you're actually gonna try to speak to the children, why don't you let me tell you a little bit about them? Please.
Okay, go ahead.
For example, with Maddie, whenever I say anything to her I don't ask myself, "how is Maddie going to react?" I ask myself, "how is moody going to react?" Trust me.
Moody Maddie.
Hyper Henry.
Moody.
Hyper.
Good tip.
Got it.
Say have you got any secret nickname for dealing with me? Awesome Hank.
Awesome Hank.
Not bad.
I've called this meeting because moving day has gotten off to a rocky start.
Now at the pryor corporation you know what, Tilly? Perhaps you should take some notes.
At pryor corp.
, we attacked challenges as a team.
Now every team needs a leader.
Fortunately for us, we have me.
I am assigning each of you one room to unpack.
Our goal to climb into our beds this evening so that we may sleep soundly with the satisfaction of a job well done.
Now, Madelyn, your assignment will be to - cell phones off, please.
- Hey, Spencer.
No talking during a family meeting.
- No, I'm not doing anything right now.
- No leaving during a family meeting.
What the hell? Henry, site, stay.
Here's your notes, chief.
So this is supposed to be me with my head inside my bottom.
Excuse me, Mr.
Pryor, where do you want this couch to go? - Right, that should go - That goes in the family room.
Thank.
Wait.
Family room? What room is this? This is the living room.
The living room? W need a living room and a family room? That sounds a little silly.
I mean, not silly.
Not silly.
Just I was I was hoping that that room could be my office, my office/study.
Well, it's gonna be the family room, so sorry/no.
There they are! Hyre we go.
Somersault, half-twist.
Yes, he nailed it.
- Hello, Grady.
- Hey, put that away.
I'm hugging ya.
Coming in for a hug.
You know, it was really nice of you to stop by, - we actually stil - Hi, uncle Grady.
Hey, henry! Put her there.
Tall you are.
Strong with the force is this one.
Super Kyle, you remember your cousin Henry.
I'll show you the backyard.
I think there's something - dead back there.
- What? I got you something special.
Yes, a little housewarming.
I was gonna get you a bottle of champagne.
Then I thought, Grady.
Probably don't want to remind 'em of the good life right now.
- Very thoughtful of you.
- Yes.
Thank you for the 5-pack.
Yeah, I thought I'd drop by.
Just gotta check on one of my crews out on a kitchen remodel job a little bit later.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bring up work in front of you.
Shoot.
Shoot! It's all right, Grady.
I've got a few irons in the fire.
Damn it! Do you have to enjoy this so much? The heart wants what the heart wants.
How you doing, Matilda? I've been worried about you up there in Fancy Town.
It's been a really rough three months.
Nothing that can't be fixed with a little family and a whole lot of booze.
Listen, Hank, if there's anything I can do for you in your time of need and failure, let me know.
I want to be with you in your darkest hour.
Something tells me if it's our darkest hour, you'll be around.
This fell off the banister earlier.
You think you can fix it? Sure.
Got a lot of little things to fix around here.
I'll just put it on the list.
List? So what, you recommend that we buy a house that needs work, and you're a building contractor? What a wonderful coincidence for you.
Don't worry about it, Hank.
I'll give you a family discount 5%.
There you are.
There is no running out on a family meeting.
I'm on the phone.
Hi, uncle Grady.
- I'll call you right back.
- Hey, Maddie! How you doing, kiddo? Just talking to my boyfriend.
He's back in New York.
Long distance relationship.
That's a toughie.
Yes, it is.
Thank you for noticing, uncle Grady.
Honey, come on.
Let me handle this.
Now listen up, Moody maddie.
- Did you call me Moody? - No, I didn't.
I think you did.
Moody.
Moody maddie is that, like, what you call me behind my back? No, it's just what your mother no! It is good to have you back.
So you think I'm Moody? You don't like all my moods? - No, honey, I love all your moods.
- So you do think I have moods.
- That everybody has moods.
- Fine.
You know what? I'm just gonna have one mood from now, then you can't call me Moody anymore.
This is my only mood! Problem solved.
I cannot believe you called her Moody and then pointed the finger right at me.
Is that your idea of team Pryor? Well, I'm sorry.
Never should have put that ridiculous Moody Maddie thing into my head.
It is not ridiculous.
You know what's ridiculous? This family meeting.
The children and I are not your employees.
Of course not, but can't we all pull together as a family and do as I say? Excuse me? We can't get this mattress up the stairs.
- They're too narrow.
- What? But that's our bed.
Well, then you're sleeping downstairs.
Nice house you found us, Grady.
What are you gonna tell me next the backyard's a pet cemetery? Don't worry about it, Hank.
I can have my guys widen those stairs.
- By tonight? - No.
Tell you what, I'll loan you Kyle's old fire truck bed for tonight.
And, what the hell? I'll take that king-size jobber off your hands.
Let's go, boys.
Kyle, time to hit the road! I just found your mom an anniversary present.
This is not right.
Hank.
Come on, honey.
It's just a mattress.
It's not just the mattress, Tilly.
It's everything.
I don't get an office, my children don't listen to me and I cannot climb into bed and sleep with the satisfaction of a job well done because the job has not been done and I have no bed! You're breathing on me.
What? Your breath it's all over me.
Well, this is how I sleep, Hank.
- Well, this is how I sleep.
- Well, then get used to my breath.
Fine! I know that you are purposely sticking your butt into my stomach.
- It doesn't bother me.
- Good.
I'm glad it doesn't bother you, that how it's gonna be all night.
- Good.
- Good.
You like it? All night? You like it? You like it? Yes.
What? I like it.
It's like we're poor now, and all we have is our bodies.
- I'm so sorry about today.
- I'm sorry, too.
- It was so stressful.
- It was a stressful, stressful day But now it's the night.
Honey You can have that back room for your office.
Gosh.
Thanks, Til.
It's probably for the best.
That way I can get away.
Get away? - From what? - No, I mean out of the way.
I mean, out of your way, out of the kids' way.
I was in the way.
Does your pj's have a-a little drawstring or something? So what, you want to go back to the way things were before you actually had to spend time with your family? Good news.
I got it.
Unbelievable.
One day with us, you're ready to climb out a window.
Admit it.
You like the idea of being around me and the kids more than actually being - around me and the kids.
- How dare you! That is absolutely okay, here's the thing.
Look You're just so darn good with the kids, and Frankly, I felt like I was intruding on that today, so, yes, I think it would be better if I got myself set up in my office/study and focused on the Business/money side of things.
Hank, you know, I didn't love having you around today either, but I am not doing this on my own.
I can't.
I know it may not seem like it, but I am freaking out here! No, I get that.
You're are not backing out on me.
I'm used to having help.
I've always had Consuela.
Well, guess what.
You're Consuela now, buddy! So what? I'm just supposed to completely forget about getting a job? Look, I am not going back to the way things used to be.
You have got to be a part of this family.
I am a part of this family.
There's nothing the world more important to me than you and the children.
- Mommy? - Not now, Henry.
I mean, hello.
Come in.
What can I do for you, my son? I can't sleep.
I'm pretty sure there's a ghost in my room.
- Dad? - What? Me.
Of course.
Come on, henry.
Let's, tuck you back in to bedand we can talk.
To each other? That's the plan.
I think one of the ghosts was ringing a bell.
Rest assured there'll be no more bell ringing tonight.
Now, Henry, I know you like to use your imagination, and that is to be celebrated to an extent.
But when that imagination becomes more of a liability than an asset, perhaps it's time to rein it in a bit.
You with me so far? Good.
Now Franklin Roosevelt once said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
" You've heard of Roosevelt? Famous.
President.
Dead guy.
It's like we just lit those tuition checks on fire.
You okay, Henry? Your brother couldn't sleep, so he and I are talking.
To each other? Well, I mean, when Henry freaks himself out, I usually just - come in here, and we hang out.
- Good.
Hang out.
How does that go, exactly? Well, I sit on the bed.
Facing him.
Then what? Then I sing to him.
She sings to you? Really? Yes.
I don't know what to sing.
It's the singing not the song.
O, say can you see By the dawn's early light Very funny.
You're singing to an 11 year old.
You are both awful, awful children.
- What's going on? - You have given me awful children.
I just got dad to sing "the star-spangled banner.
" Well, I am glad to be the family clown.
If this were the Pryor corporation This is the Pryor corporation now.
Fine.
I am putting the boy to bed.
I'm going to finish the job.
If you two will excuse me Now, Hank, just so you know, henry is potty trained.
Good night.
And, madelyn your mother didn't vote for Obama.
Just so you know, that singing thing was Maddie's idea.
She makes me do stuff.
Women are good at that.
Why do you think we had a second House Here you go.
I'll see you in the morning, Henry.
Can I leave light on tonight? I don't know.
It's just this room is different.
Everything's different.
It's a little scary having everything change, isn't it, having to start over? I'm a little scared, too.
How about that? Even at my age.
- And you're old.
- I'm not Old.
But I'm not 25.
- You're not 25 times 2.
- Yes, I know how old I am.
If you like, I could just lie down with you for a while.
Just when I thought they couldn't make a smaller bed.
Good night, Henry.
Good night, dad.
Dad? You're breathing on me.
Awful sweet, awesome Hank.
I just need to get a few hours sleep and then have some minor back surgery.
You know, I was thinking last night that back in New York, with all the money, the nannies and the staff, we insulated ourselves from the everyday struggles and challenges of real life.
How great was that? Just this is harder than I thought.
You're Hank Pryor, damn it.
At lst we got each other and a 5-pack of beer.
What the hell is that? Grady's starting to make some improvements.
Yeah, this is much better.
I'm okay! So Mr.
Family decided to work instead of spending time with his son.
I'll put it on the list.
Team Subs-Addicts"
Our car will be here in a second" I just hate that the whole city is watching our lives being carted away.
Nobody knows it's our stuff, Tilly.
Keep it moving, boys.
Keep it moving.
They're bringing the car up right now.
Thank you, Don.
We've got a long drive to Virginia.
I read about what happened to you in the papers, Mr.
Pryor.
I'm sorry you lost your everything.
That's very kind of you, don.
But don't feel sorry for Hank Pryor.
Never feel sorry for Hank Pryor.
You can feel sorry for the woman who lives with Hank Pryor.
I'm gonna miss this place, Hank.
Tilly, let me tell you again what I told the board of my company this downturn is an opportunity for us to find out what we're made of, to emerge stronger, to snatch success from the jaws of failure.
You should have seen their faces, Til.
It killed them to fire me.
Bastards.
- Unanimous bastards.
- Yes.
It's gonna take a lot more than a hostile takeover and losing all our savings to get me down.
I'm Hank Pryor, damn it.
I'm gonna get us back up on top, maybe not today maybe today.
Maybe today.
There's the smile.
When you first told me you wanted to move back to river bend, I sort of wanted to, I don't know, kick ya.
But I mean, I did grow up there, and now there's a part of me that's looking forward to the move.
- Of course.
Of course.
- Not a big part.
Come on, though.
River be where better to rise from the ashes than where I opened the very first Pryor sporting goods 170 stores ago? - Yeah, it's also where you met me.
- That, too.
That, too.
There goes our mattress.
We've had many an exciting evening on the old girl? Not lately, but still.
- Who's that with Madelyn? - Spencer.
Spencer? Well, they've been dating for five months, Hank.
He looks like an idiot.
Is he an idiot? Henry, honey, that's dangerous.
Excited I am.
Undertaking a grand adventure are we.
Why is the boy talking like that? What? It's Yoda, Hank.
Yoda's his hero.
What, the kung fu frog from "Star Wars" is his hero? That boy needs me, Tilly.
Now that I'm no longer a slave to that damn company, I've got a chance to be a real hands-on dad.
This is an opportunity for us to start over as a family.
Team Pryor.
Yeah, you know, I guess, in a way, we're lucky.
We're blessed.
If you and I weren't us, i'd wish we were.
There's our car.
Children, let's go! Consuela arrivederci.
-= 101 =- "Pilot" VO By : ¤Aka¤ Team Subs-Addicts" This is lovely.
Trees, grass it's like we're living in Central Park.
Which was our other option.
I'm kidding.
Here we go.
This Is exactly what we needed to simplify, get back to basics.
No more long walks to the kitchen.
The kitchen's right there.
And we never knew our neighbors in New York, but here, in river bend look.
There he is.
Hello! He seems like a Cheery Fellow.
Maybe later he'll bring us a pie.
Then we can bring him a shirt.
Speaking of local flavor, my brother's gonna drop by later.
Probably eager to welcome us back to his tax bracket.
- Mom! Mommy! - Henry, we're in here, honey.
Virginia is awesome.
I cannot wait to go to the bathroom here.
Yes, I imagine that's one of the activities we'll all enjoy.
Sweetheart, why don't you go out and check out the backyard? I'll bet you there's tons of fun stuff out there that you and your daddy can do together.
Maybe later we can go out and throw a baseball.
At what? I hope there's a shed.
I need a place for my secret projects.
He's an odd little duck, isn't he? Oh My God.
It's like a horror film in here.
At least in a horror film, the pretty girl dies.
Even the stove is trying to make a run for it.
Mom, why does god hate us? Honey - I don't know.
- Tilly.
Madelyn, why don't you just give a chance? I think you'll soon be saying what your mother and I are saying "Yes, we can.
" You can't use that.
That's Obama's thing.
He owns those words, does he? You know, my high school baseball team had the same slogan on our run to the state finals Yes, we can.
Ultimately, of course, we couldn't.
But Not because of me.
I hit.
500 for the series.
That is such a great story, daddy.
Tell it again.
Fine.
You don't want me to say "Yes, we can"? I'll do the President one better.
I say, yes, we will.
Yeah, because you're better than him.
He's the President.
- I could have been president.
- Yeah, right.
This is America, young lady.
A rich white man has just as much a chance of being President as anybody else.
What the hell was that? Consuela! Oh, right.
Hank, now that you're gonna be spending some time at home, and it looks like you're actually gonna try to speak to the children, why don't you let me tell you a little bit about them? Please.
Okay, go ahead.
For example, with Maddie, whenever I say anything to her I don't ask myself, "how is Maddie going to react?" I ask myself, "how is moody going to react?" Trust me.
Moody Maddie.
Hyper Henry.
Moody.
Hyper.
Good tip.

Awesome Hank.
Not bad.
I've called this meeting because moving day has gotten off to a rocky start.

At pryor corp.

Now every team needs a leader.
Fortunately for us, we have me.
I am assigning each of you one room to unpack.
Our goal to climb into our beds this evening so that we may sleep soundly with the satisfaction of a job well done.
Now, Madelyn, your assignment will be to - cell phones off, please.

What the hell? Henry, site, stay.
Here's your notes, chief.
So this is supposed to be me with my head inside my bottom.
Excuse me, Mr.
Pryor, where do you want this couch to go? - Right, that should go - That goes in the family room.
Thank.
Wait.
Family room? What room is this? This is the living room.
The living room? W need a living room and a family room? That sounds a little silly.
I mean, not silly.
Not silly.
Just I was I was hoping that that room could be my office, my office/study.
Well, it's gonna be the family room, so sorry/no.
There they are! Hyre we go.
Somersault, half-twist.
Yes, he nailed it.
- Hello, Grady.
- Hey, put that away.
I'm hugging ya.
Coming in for a hug.
You know, it was really nice of you to stop by, - we actually stil - Hi, uncle Grady.
Hey, henry! Put her there.
Tall you are.
Strong with the force is this one.
Super Kyle, you remember your cousin Henry.
I'll show you the backyard.
I think there's something - dead back there.
- What? I got you something special.
Yes, a little housewarming.
I was gonna get you a bottle of champagne.
Then I thought, Grady.
Probably don't want to remind 'em of the good life right now.
- Very thoughtful of you.
- Yes.
Thank you for the 5-pack.
Yeah, I thought I'd drop by.
Just gotta check on one of my crews out on a kitchen remodel job a little bit later.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bring up work in front of you.
Shoot.
Shoot! It's all right, Grady.
I've got a few irons in the fire.
Damn it! Do you have to enjoy this so much? The heart wants what the heart wants.
How you doing, Matilda? I've been worried about you up there in Fancy Town.
It's been a really rough three months.
Nothing that can't be fixed with a little family and a whole lot of booze.
Listen, Hank, if there's anything I can do for you in your time of need and failure, let me know.
I want to be with you in your darkest hour.
Something tells me if it's our darkest hour, you'll be around.
This fell off the banister earlier.
You think you can fix it? Sure.
Got a lot of little things to fix around here.
I'll just put it on the list.
List? So what, you recommend that we buy a house that needs work, and you're a building contractor? What a wonderful coincidence for you.
Don't worry about it, Hank.
I'll give you a family discount 5%.
There you are.
There is no running out on a family meeting.
I'm on the phone.
Hi, uncle Grady.
- I'll call you right back.
- Hey, Maddie! How you doing, kiddo? Just talking to my boyfriend.
He's back in New York.
Long distance relationship.
That's a toughie.
Yes, it is.
Thank you for noticing, uncle Grady.
Honey, come on.
Let me handle this.
Now listen up, Moody maddie.
- Did you call me Moody? - No, I didn't.
I think you did.
Moody.
Moody maddie is that, like, what you call me behind my back? No, it's just what your mother no! It is good to have you back.
So you think I'm Moody? You don't like all my moods? - No, honey, I love all your moods.
- So you do think I have moods.
- That everybody has moods.
- Fine.
You know what? I'm just gonna have one mood from now, then you can't call me Moody anymore.
This is my only mood! Problem solved.
I cannot believe you called her Moody and then pointed the finger right at me.
Is that your idea of team Pryor? Well, I'm sorry.
Never should have put that ridiculous Moody Maddie thing into my head.
It is not ridiculous.
You know what's ridiculous? This family meeting.
The children and I are not your employees.
Of course not, but can't we all pull together as a family and do as I say? Excuse me? We can't get this mattress up the stairs.
- They're too narrow.
- What? But that's our bed.
Well, then you're sleeping downstairs.
Nice house you found us, Grady.
What are you gonna tell me next the backyard's a pet cemetery? Don't worry about it, Hank.
I can have my guys widen those stairs.
- By tonight? - No.
Tell you what, I'll loan you Kyle's old fire truck bed for tonight.
And, what the hell? I'll take that king-size jobber off your hands.
Let's go, boys.
Kyle, time to hit the road! I just found your mom an anniversary present.
This is not right.
Hank.
Come on, honey.
It's just a mattress.
It's not just the mattress, Tilly.
It's everything.
I don't get an office, my children don't listen to me and I cannot climb into bed and sleep with the satisfaction of a job well done because the job has not been done and I have no bed! You're breathing on me.
What? Your breath it's all over me.
Well, this is how I sleep, Hank.
- Well, this is how I sleep.
- Well, then get used to my breath.
Fine! I know that you are purposely sticking your butt into my stomach.
- It doesn't bother me.
- Good.
I'm glad it doesn't bother you, that how it's gonna be all night.
- Good.
- Good.
You like it? All night? You like it? You like it? Yes.
What? I like it.
It's like we're poor now, and all we have is our bodies.
- I'm so sorry about today.
- I'm sorry, too.
- It was so stressful.
- It was a stressful, stressful day But now it's the night.
Honey You can have that back room for your office.
Gosh.
Thanks, Til.
It's probably for the best.
That way I can get away.
Get away? - From what? - No, I mean out of the way.
I mean, out of your way, out of the kids' way.
I was in the way.
Does your pj's have a-a little drawstring or something? So what, you want to go back to the way things were before you actually had to spend time with your family? Good news.
I got it.
Unbelievable.
One day with us, you're ready to climb out a window.
Admit it.
You like the idea of being around me and the kids more than actually being - around me and the kids.
- How dare you! That is absolutely okay, here's the thing.
Look You're just so darn good with the kids, and Frankly, I felt like I was intruding on that today, so, yes, I think it would be better if I got myself set up in my office/study and focused on the Business/money side of things.
Hank, you know, I didn't love having you around today either, but I am not doing this on my own.
I can't.
I know it may not seem like it, but I am freaking out here! No, I get that.
You're are not backing out on me.
I'm used to having help.
I've always had Consuela.
Well, guess what.
You're Consuela now, buddy! So what? I'm just supposed to completely forget about getting a job? Look, I am not going back to the way things used to be.
You have got to be a part of this family.
I am a part of this family.
There's nothing the world more important to me than you and the children.
- Mommy? - Not now, Henry.
I mean, hello.
Come in.
What can I do for you, my son? I can't sleep.
I'm pretty sure there's a ghost in my room.
- Dad? - What? Me.
Of course.
Come on, henry.
Let's, tuck you back in to bedand we can talk.
To each other? That's the plan.
I think one of the ghosts was ringing a bell.
Rest assured there'll be no more bell ringing tonight.
Now, Henry, I know you like to use your imagination, and that is to be celebrated to an extent.
But when that imagination becomes more of a liability than an asset, perhaps it's time to rein it in a bit.
You with me so far? Good.
Now Franklin Roosevelt once said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
" You've heard of Roosevelt? Famous.
President.
Dead guy.
It's like we just lit those tuition checks on fire.
You okay, Henry? Your brother couldn't sleep, so he and I are talking.
To each other? Well, I mean, when Henry freaks himself out, I usually just - come in here, and we hang out.
- Good.
Hang out.
How does that go, exactly? Well, I sit on the bed.
Facing him.
Then what? Then I sing to him.
She sings to you? Really? Yes.
I don't know what to sing.
It's the singing not the song.
O, say can you see By the dawn's early light Very funny.
You're singing to an 11 year old.
You are both awful, awful children.
- What's going on? - You have given me awful children.
I just got dad to sing "the star-spangled banner.
" Well, I am glad to be the family clown.
If this were the Pryor corporation This is the Pryor corporation now.
Fine.
I am putting the boy to bed.
I'm going to finish the job.
If you two will excuse me Now, Hank, just so you know, henry is potty trained.
Good night.
And, madelyn your mother didn't vote for Obama.
Just so you know, that singing thing was Maddie's idea.
She makes me do stuff.
Women are good at that.
Why do you think we had a second House Here you go.
I'll see you in the morning, Henry.
Can I leave light on tonight? I don't know.
It's just this room is different.
Everything's different.
It's a little scary having everything change, isn't it, having to start over? I'm a little scared, too.
How about that? Even at my age.
- And you're old.
- I'm not Old.
But I'm not 25.
- You're not 25 times 2.
- Yes, I know how old I am.
If you like, I could just lie down with you for a while.
Just when I thought they couldn't make a smaller bed.
Good night, Henry.
Good night, dad.
Dad? You're breathing on me.
Awful sweet, awesome Hank.
I just need to get a few hours sleep and then have some minor back surgery.
You know, I was thinking last night that back in New York, with all the money, the nannies and the staff, we insulated ourselves from the everyday struggles and challenges of real life.
How great was that? Just this is harder than I thought.
You're Hank Pryor, damn it.
At lst we got each other and a 5-pack of beer.
What the hell is that? Grady's starting to make some improvements.
Yeah, this is much better.
I'm okay! So Mr.
Family decided to work instead of spending time with his son.
I'll put it on the list.
