<Claire> What are you doing here?

<Jay> These two knuckleheads were fighting each other.

<Claire> What?!

<Phil> Could have been worse. I was not ready to face Durkas today.

<Claire> So, what happened?

<Principal> Apparently, there was some name-calling and shoving on the playground. By the time a teacher separated them, Luke was sitting on Manny's chest.

<Jay> Luke, that's not like you.

<Principal> Wait a minute. You're Luke's father?

<Jay> Grandfather.

<Principal> So Manny's father is...

<Gloria> Javier. Crazy guy. That's where he gets his fire.

<Principal> Okay, you're...

<Claire> He's our son.

<Jay> And my grandson. I'm his daughter.

<Principal> So, you're...

<Manny> His uncle.

<Luke> Stop saying that, or I'll sit on your chest again!

<Claire> Wait a second. Is that what this was all about?

<Luke> He keeps calling me his nephew.

<Manny> You are my nephew!

<Luke> Shut up!

<Principal> I'm getting the sense that you're all related... somehow.

So it's probably best if you work this out at home so the boys can go back to class, okay? But we're not happy about this, boys. This is not how mature young men behave. Here's your note for Miss Passwater.

Look. I wouldn't worry. They're good kids. It's just tough when one kid's a little different.

<Claire & Gloria> Yes.
