Act Like Bernie Knows [1.1]

 * [We see Zachary and Clementine sitting on the couch, Zachary is reading an issue of Computer Gaming World, while Clementine is watching Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983). 10 seconds later, though, a loud version of Act Like You Know by Fat Larry's Band plays]
 * Zachary: (covers ears) Aaah! What the hay? (he later sees his father, Bernie, next to the record player) Dad?
 * Bernie: (singing) Yeah. You ought to know! Act just like it. Act just like you know. Whoa! You just ought to know. Yeah. When you're feeling down and low, and you need a place to go. Oh! Just pick up your shoes and go... To the hottest place you know. When you can free your mind, and have a good time. Just step right up- Hurry, hurry, hurry! -to the fire line. Act like you know! This is your way to shine! (Tia walks in angry and turns off the record player) Act like you know! There's only... stars... in the... (stops)
 * Tia: Bernie, how many times have I told you to stop playing that annoying record? This has been the seventh time this week, when are you going to stop playing it?

 * Bernie: B-but you love the record! Hell, we even got it at the Sam Goody store at the mall.
 * Tia: I'm not talking about some media store in a mall, I'm talking about how many times you played that record!




 * Tia: Alright, that's it! (runs to record player in living room, she takes the record out of the player and splits it in half)
 * Bernie: Tia, what on Earth is the- (looks at split record) D-did you just destroy my record?
 * Tia: I had to. We were all getting sick and tired of that stupid song by Chubby Larry, or whatever he's called.
 * Bernie: B-but Tia, that record meant-
 * Tia: (interrupts) I don't wanna hear another word from you today, or the rest of this week! I'm taking my kids and we're going to stay at my parents' house in the West Indies for the rest of the week, and you're not coming!
