Francis: [on the phone] Mom, great news.
Lois: Francis, I'm a little busy here.
Francis: Okay, here it is. I just sent you $20 good-faith money...
Lois: Great. Only $727 more before you can come home.
Francis: What?
Lois: Francis, I am not going to let you weasel out of your responsibility. Because of you, we are down to one car until your father's next paycheck. No, you either come up with the money or you don't come home.
Francis: Mom, it's impossible. I'm in school. When I'm not in school, I have homework. When I'm not doing homework, I'm in detention. If I'm lucky, I have six hours free a week. At minimum wage I wouldn't be able to make it home until Thanksgiving 2010.
Lois: You bring the yams. [hangs up] He'll find the money.
