迈克的选择：迈克号称要学一门实用的知识，因此打算去上师范学院。而迈克实际上还
是想从事表演，他所谓的上师范学院只是在父母面前演戏而已。杰生夫妇不知迈克的用
心，还为此兴奋不已。迈克得到了一个新角色，准备在演艺事业上大展宏图，杰生却仍
然固执地认为迈克是在胡闹。然而这一次，迈克下定了决心要坚持自己的选择。

him?
J:Be right back. And I don't ream Maggie, I discuss.

trouble?
J: Daddy told me how happy he was I was a clean
slate 3 .
J:Still no sign of his car?
Chrissy: Mike's in trouble. Wait till I tell Ben.
Ma: Honey, Mike's car makes such a horrible sound.
Can't we just listen for it inside like normal people?
J: Well, last time we wanted to e him, do you
remember what he did? Shut off his
engine and slid it into the driveway inneutral 4 .
Ma: Jason, he knows. Honey he knows we are ten
and I think he's too smart to try and
duck 5 us today.
J: Too smart. Yes, then why would he leave this
unopened college registration form, which
as direct sunlight reveals was due today, right out
where anybody could find it Maggie? In the
dresr under the socks, tucked away in the back.

Mummy, mummy, mummy,
谁要倒霉了?
Chrissy 谁告诉你有人要倒霉?
爸爸说他太高兴了,肯定就有人要倒霉。
他的车还没有踪影?
Mike 要倒霉,我要去告诉 Ben!
亲爱的,车声音大的吓人,我们就不能,像
个正常人一样,坐在里面等吗?
上一次我想让他检点自己的行为,
可他关了引擎偷偷滑入车道。
他知道我们,非常生他的气,
他不笨今天他不会再骗我们了。
噢,不笨,对!那他为什么把这封没有启封,
但透过阳光人人看的出,是今天
到期的大学注册单,放在人人都能找到的
地方,塞在抽屉里和他臭袜子揉做一团。

演员并不是一件很容易的事情,学一
门有用的技术赖已生存,不是更加好
吗?还要向以前哪样,虚度二十岁光
阴……前门!
怎么了?

J: Mike, you don't understand something. I am not

M: Well then you've got to understand something. I've

J: Ok. Answer me this Mike. Do you really think it's a
good idea to go off and pursue your
acting bug, without a college degree? Is that practical?
M:No, it isn't.
J:Ok, we're getting somewhere.
M: I don't need to be practical dad. I've got talent. Ok.
And besides, it is nota bug. I think
that is part of the problem we have here. When I'm
interested in doing something it's a bug,

J: You keep your sisters aspirations out of it. Now I'm
