Howard Langston:
I couldn't find the kid a doll. Now, does that make me a bad father? No. But yelling at him for no good reason. Now, that makes me a bad father.
Myron:
Look, we get one chance a year to prove we're not screw-ups, and what do we do? We screw it up!
Howard Langston:
I remember a few years ago, I really wanted to do something special for Jamie. So, I built him his own clubhouse. It came out great. Oh , well the door was a little crooked, right? The roof didn't sit quite right. But you should have seen his face light up! Ah, when he saw that, he was so excited. We played in that clubhouse the entire day. He even made us have Christmas dinner in it.
Myron:
[surprised]
No!
Howard Langston:
Oh, yeah. I was the hero then. Look at me now.
Myron:
You're right. That kid's gonna need some serious therapy, man.
Howard Langston:
Oh, don't say that.
Myron:
Mmm-hmm. I know what I'm talking about. See, I never forgave my father. I remember one Christmas, I wanted this one special toy. A Johnny Seven OMA gun. You remember those, don't you?
Howard Langston:
No.
Myron:
I still remember the commercial like it was yesterday. Two kids playing out in the backyard.
[imitating the whole play]

Myron:
The thing looked like a blast. But, of course for my old man, Christmas was just another opportunity to let me down. I never did get that Johnny Seven OMA.
Howard Langston:
Sorry to hear that.
Myron:
Ah, it don't mean nothing. Have you ever heard of a guy named Scott Sherman?
Howard Langston:
Yeah. The CEO of Sherman Industries.
Myron:
Well, he was my old neighbor. And his dad got him a Johnny Seven OMA gun. You know what happened? He became a billionaire. And me, well, I'm just a loser with no future.
