Alex Pearson:
All right. I've-I've-I've done wrong and... and I deserve punishment. It's good to admit that. Let 'er rip, Dad. Any time now. Don't hold back. Fine. I'll start. "Alex, you are grounded for... for two weeks." No, that's too little. Four weeks. Six weeks. More?

Professor Pearson:
I'm not grounding you, Alex.

Alex Pearson:
Hard labor it is. Uh, I'll-I'll put up a new fence. I'll paint the house. I'll re-sod the lawn.

Professor Pearson:
I'm not going to punish you at all.

Alex Pearson:
What?

Professor Pearson:
If I punish you, when it was over you'd feel like you made up for it. Instead, I want you to feel the consequences of ruining things for Emily and her friends.
