The Wonder Years, Season 6

Kevin:
Perfect. This is perfect.

Jack:
What's wrong with you?

Narrator:
And that just about did it.

Kevin:
Me? What's wrong with me?

Narrator:
It was time to tell him exactly how I felt. About him, about Mom, about the stupid gin games and the dumb boyfriends and the idiotic dog.

Kevin:
I hate this place!

Narrator:
Yeah, that was it. In a nutshell.

(Jack chuckles)

Kevin:
What's so funny?

Jack:
You're starting to sound just like your mother.

Kevin:
What?

Jack:
You heard me.

Kevin:
Yeah, but Mom loves this place!

Jack:
Yeah, for a day or two maybe. Trust me, 21 years ago she couldn't wait to get out.

Kevin:
You're kidding.

Jack:
Nah. Your mother wanted a lot more from life than a small town like this had to offer.

Kevin:
So why didn't she tell Grandma and Grandpa about it? She never says a word.

Jack:
She used to. They couldn't hear her. Parents are like that sometimes.

Narrator:
And I guess right about then, a few things started to fall into place.

Norma:
(returns from the dance) Hi!

Jack:
You're home early?

Norma:
Yeah, I know.

Jack:
How was it?

Norma:
It was… fine. But when the invitation comes for my 30th reunion…

Jack:
Yeah?

Norma:
Let's tear it up.

Narrator:
Maybe a lot of things.

Jack:
How was Roger?

Norma:
Roger… Roger's the same old jerk he always was.
