How long do you have to wait for my prescription?
Ten minutes or so, mother.
What are you doing now?
Nothing. I'm just killing time.
Clark, could you run a few errands for me?
Okay.
First, pick up my cardigan at the dry cleaner's. Then pick up a vegetarian soup at Super Duper Soup's. And I need eggs, milk and goat cheese and if you have (the) time, pick some wildflowers for our house.
All right, mother. I don't think that'll be a problem.
Should I text you the list?
No, mother. I'll do my flying chore right now. （chore = 雑事、雑用）
Go, Clark! Go, Superman!
That was a surprise ending.
That's the Clark they were talking about.
Clark Kent.
Yes.
And you are Mrs. Kent.
I must be his wonderful fabulous mother.
Wow. He needs only ten minutes to do all that.
Right. He could probably do it in less time. （in less time = 少ない時間で）
Yeah. He is Superman.
That's right.
I see.
Um... Ken?
What are you doing right now?
What are you doing?
Well, I'm just killing time.
Oh!
Well...
Is that allowed?
I don't think so. Rules are made to be broken. （規則は破られるためにある）
Ta da da!

Aren't you going to your auto club meeting tonight, daddy?
No, I quit that club, honey.
I thought you liked it.
It was all right. I resigned from the bowling league, too.
Whatever for?
I've been spreading myself too thin lately.
Really?
Yup. Besides, I'd rather spend quality time with my darling daughter.
Oh daddy, you're the best! Can we listen to Rajiei together?
Of course. I like that Jeff guy a lot.
I like Katie.
I like Ken, really.
Oh, we've been spreading ourselves too thin lately.
Uh-huh.
I'm afraid... Better collect ourselves, put ourselves together.
And grow.
Uh-huh.

Gordon, I made a casserole for you.
Thank you, Mother. Please excuse the mess. I've let the housework slide.
Are these your moving boxes?
Yes, Mother. I put unpacking on hold.
Hmm… Where’s your kitchen timer?
Here it is, Mother.
Set it for one hour, Gordon. Now open a box.
Yes, Mother. I’ll start unpacking.
Do this every day until you finish unpacking.
Whatever you say, Mom.
Mother!
Mother.
It's been an hour, Mother.
No cheating, Gordon.
Ouch.
Oh, poor Gordon.
Really strict.
Very strict.
Sounds like a boot camp or something.
No. She accused him of cheating.
Hmm... That was such a short hour, though.
I think he was letting his unpacking slide.
You can say that again.
He wanted to keep it on hold.
Well, I can't let this closing slide.
Oh, yes.
Because it's time. So until next time

Look, there's my friend, Tara. She's smiling at you. Smile back, Shizuo!
This is awkward, Annie.
Go strike up a conversation with her.
The music is too loud.
That's no excuse.
She's talking to another guy.
Come on! I'll introduce you. It's now or never.
But I don’t know what to say.
Ask her to dance! Come on!
How did it go, Shizuo?
Good. I've got a date!
Great!
Yeah, it's a Rajio Eikawa date. We'll listen to it together.
