Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій


Gloria: Of course we would love to have the baby. All the other cousins are sleeping over tonight.

Jay: The more, the merrier.

Gloria: Okay, see you tonight. Bye-bye.

Manny: Is Haley still coming?

Jay: You're related. I will spray you with the hose.


Jay: All the grandkids are coming over for Jay's Night. Family tradition. Everybody wears PJs, which they love. I make my famous sloppy jays, which are really sloppy joes but made by Jay, which they love. And then we all watch a Western together, which they don't really care for, but hey, it's Jay's Night.


Haley: So, Mom, there's a party tonight at Andrew Adler's, and everybody's going to be there.

Claire: Ooh, that sounds like so much fun, but I have other plans.

Haley: Oh, that's hi-larious. But I'm talking about me.

Alex: That's unusual.

Claire: Honey, you said you'd go to your grandfather's tonight.

Haley: See, that's what's so perfect about this. Andrew only lives, like, a couple blocks away from Grandpa's. So I figured that I could go.

Claire: Sweetie, you made a commitment.

Haley: But I really want to go. And plus, every time I go over to Grandpa's, Manny just stares at me the whole time.

Alex: Maybe if you wore a bra.

Claire: Alex.

Alex: What? I can't wait to go to Grandpa's. Family means everything to me.

Haley: 'Cause you have no friends.

Alex: No. Because I love Grandpa. And he's getting older. Who knows how many years he has left?

Luke: Is Grandpa dying?

Alex: Didn't they tell you?

Claire: Alex, stop torturing your brother. No. Your grandfather is fine.

Alex: For now.


Jay: There are my little stinkers.

Haley: Howdy.

Alex: Hi, Grandpa.

Jay: Come on in.

Gloria: Hola. Hola, hola.

Manny: Well, hello there, Haley.

Jay: Take it down a notch, Jethro. So, you guys ready for some fun? What?

Luke: I love you, Grandpa, and I'm never going to forget you.

Jay: Okay, okay. Back at ya, champ. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a pajama party. Where's your PJs?

Haley: Yeah, they're in my bag. I need to talk to you about something.

Alex: She wants to go to a party with Dylan, Grandpa.

Haley: Shut up, Alex. It's at my friend Andrew Adler's. He lives three blocks from here.

Jay: Oh. Walking distance.

Haley; Right. So I wouldn't ask you this because I love coming to your house, but it's kind of an important party.

Jay: Somebody invites you over, the last thing you want to do is insult them.

Haley: Exactly.

Jay: I'm glad we agree.

Haley: Oh, my God. That was so easy. This is awesome.

Alex: You really don't understand what just happened there, do you?

Jay: PJs on, Haley!

Haley: What?

Manny: Um, I would be happy to let her change in my room.


Jay: I got the movie. Manny, why don't you go fire up some popcorn? You looking for these?

Haley: You took my shoes?

Jay: No, I took your freedom. Sorry, kid. It ain't your night.

Haley: Why are you being like this? I just wanted to go to that party for, like, two hours. I would've been back by now. Would that have killed you?

Jay: She's just like her mother.

Gloria: Why are you treating Haley like this?

Jay: Me? She's the one acting like a pill.

Gloria: You're taking this too personally. When I was Haley's age, I loved my grandfather, but I still wanted to go to parties and be with boys.

Jay: I know. I know. So did Claire, and Mitchell. But you know what? You try to put something over on me, you're going to lose.

Gloria: So, what? Now you're going to make this into a big game?

Jay: I'm trying to keep them around a little bit longer, that's all. I mean, who knows how many nights like this I got left?

Luke: I miss you already.

Jay: What's wrong with this kid tonight? Go in the kitchen and help out the guys, and I'll be right in.

Gloria: It's great that you want to spend time with your granddaughter, but is this really the way?

Jay: Fine.

Gloria: You're a good abuelo. She's upstairs.

Jay: I know.


Jay: Dylan!

Dylan: Yeah?

Jay: Get up. You're here to take Haley to the party, right?

Dylan: Yeah.

Jay: She's in the house.

Dylan: How did you know I was here?

Jay: This is how I first met Phil.


Haley: Thanks again, Grandpa. We'll be back by 11:00.

Jay: will track you down.

Haley: I believe that.

Dylan: What's that smell?

Jay: Sloppy Jays. Help yourself. There's plenty left.

Dylan: Oh. Sloppy jays because your name's Jay. Right on.

Manny: I can't believe she's into this guy.

Gloria: If you want, I'll fix you a plate.

Dylan: Yeah, definitely. That'd be great.

Haley: But, what about the party?

Dylan: We can go in just a minute. Just let... Oh, no way. The Gunfighter. I love this movie.

Haley: Dylan, the party.

Dylan: But cowboys.

Gloria: Don't fight it, Haley. They never grow up.

Dylan: Thanks.

Manny: I'm going to the kitchen for an espresso. (Does) Anybody need anything?

Alex: No thanks.
