Pod!Connor: To Family from Home (Season 4) |
(After a long drive in a limo, Angel arrives for some window-peaking, watching Connor and his new family at dinner)
CONNOR: You just opened up a whole bottle for yourself, didn't you? (laughter)
DAD: I'm just saying, you know, you've got your pick. Any college you want to.
CONNOR: It's really not a big deal.
MOM: Top tenth percentile is a big deal.
AUNT: Are you and Tracy gonna try and go to the same college?
DAD: Oh, bad idea.
CONNOR: We haven't really talked about it.
DAD: No, I love Tracy. I'm just saying it's a bad way to go.
SISTER: Tracy's a vegan.
MOM: So? At least she doesn't live on pop tarts.
CONNOR: You know, maybe I'll go to school overseas, like Russia. Is there anything further away than Russia?
MOM: Don't you even joke about it.
DAD: I feel a toast coming on.
CONNOR: Gee, big surprise.
MOM: There he goes.
DAD: To the top tenth percentile— (holds up his glass)
CONNOR: OK, whoa, whoa. Enough. That's all I had to hear. Since it's my special day and I'm all brilliant and everything and I'm forced to spend at least a few more months with you freaks...
AUNT: (gasps, feigning shock) How mean!
CONNOR: Uh, heh heh, I get to make the toast, OK? To family. (clinks glass with dad)
(Angel watches from outside, smiles, then walks away.)
SISTER: I think I should get wine for the toast.
CONNOR: No, really? Well, I wasn't talking about *this* family. I made that clear, right?
(laughter from the family)
SISTER: I'm not gonna tell you. (more laughter)
