Frank: Hey, you think I like having to do the hokey-pokey around you just to get some information? I mean, if you weren't such a Boy Scout, I could just come right out and say, "Ray, who do you like in the game tonight?" And then we'd bet together, and we'd win together. And then we'd go to one of those restaurants where the girls have the tight tops and bring you the big burgers. That's the real father-and-son stuff!
Ray: That's real nice, Dad, but you know what I do for a living. You know I could never bet with you.
Frank: Hence the ruse! You know, you're out of line if you think that I was faking the part about enjoying whatever, you know, you and me. And if that's how you feel about the betting stuff, I won't do it anymore, okay? [Ray shrugs]
Ray: What are you doing?
Frank: [sits down] How are the kids?
Ray: Yeah, they're good.
Frank: And how do the twins like that new preschool there?
Ray: Yeah, they like it. It's good.
Frank: Good! Okay. [gets up]
Ray: What?
Frank: I think that was a good start, don't you? Let's not push it.
Ray: Yeah, okay. Maybe we'll do some more tomorrow.
Frank: Let's play it by ear.
