what I am wearing.
- Oh, no, it's not.
I'm not gonna have it, son.
This is my house and you're
gonna be sittin' at my table,
and I will not have you...
sittin'at it
dressed like that.
So go upstairs and change
your clothes. Now.
- What brought this up?
- I just... mentioned...
that what he had on was not appropriate
for Thanksgiving dinner.
Well, first off, whatever he wears
is none of your damn business.
Second off, he hasn't started
a conversation with anyone in months.
If you're goin' around, tryin'
to mind other people's business,
this is what you can expect.
I told you this morning about this,
didn't I? What did I say?
- All I was tryin' to do was help.
- Your help is not needed.
From now on, mind your own
damn business, and leave...
the running of this family
to your mother and me.
We've been doing it for 26 years
without your help. I don't see
as how we need it now.
- All right?
- All right.
Psst.
- Do you want somethin'?
- I just want to tell you...
I'm not gonna be havin'
dinner with you today.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- J ust that.
Since you wish I'd never come home,
and since I'm such a weirdo...
and since Thanksgiving is such
a family event and I'm not
your brother anymore...
I won't embarrass you by
having dinner at your expense.
Have a wonderful time.
Jeremy!
Jeremy, you're trying to get me in
trouble, and I'm not going to have it.
If you don't
want to have dinner...
- blame it on Daddy, not on me.
- Get away from my door.
It's only your door in the inside,
it's anyone's door out here...
and I'll stand by it as long as I want
to and you just try and stop me.
Jeremy, you better
open this door, or...
I'll knock it down.
I swear I will, and I hope
it bashes your ugly head in!
Open up!
- Open up!
- What the hell are you doin' now?
It's all my fault.
I did it. I'm responsible.
What are you talkin' about?
What did you do?
Jeremy has just locked
himself in his room...
after informing me that he will not
be having Thanksgiving dinner.
And you did absolutely
nothing to provoke him?
I did absolutely, positively nothing
to provoke, anger or antagonize him.
Now, I know that doesn't
make a bit of difference...
I know that it's still all my fault,
but he's the one who did everything!
Listen, there is one thing I do
not need around here right now
and that's anotherJoan of Arc.
Get away from there!
- Jeremy, are you changing your clothes?
- Those clothes Mother told you...
- to have me change?
- J ust answer the question.
- No.
- And why not?
- I'm not having dinner.
- And why not?
I had a big breakfast.
- All right, Jeremy, I'm not
jokin' around out here.
- I'm not laughin'around in here.
He's only doing this
to make me look bad.
Jeremy, I'm not asking you
anymore, I am telling you.
- Change your clothes and get
your butt out here pronto.
- Fuck off.
- What did you say?
- I said, "Fuck off." Go fuck yourself.
I'll beat the shit out of you.
- Is everything all right?
- Oh, yes, fine.
Everything is fine, honey.
I wonder how late they're gonna be.
Well, the dinner's almost ready.
I guess I planned it all wrong.
- Jeremy.
- Maurine.
- Wait a minute.
What are you wearing?
Same thing I was wearin',
I thought you told him
to change clothes.
I did.
Now, Jeremy, your father told you
to change clothes for dinner.
I'm not havin'dinner.
Did he say he's not having dinner?
Now, why would he say
he wasn't having dinner?
He's not sick, is he? Is he sick?
- No.
- Jeremy, are you sick?
Do you not feel well?
His door is locked.
Jeremy.
- What do you mean, you're not
having dinner? Explain that.
- Ask Karen.
I'm asking you.
Why can't you tell me?
- What does he mean, ask Karen?
- They had an argument.
- Did they have an argument?
- It's what I just said, are you deaf?
