Scene: The family is watching the final moments of Bye Bye Birdie
Dick Van Dyke (singing about Rosie).
A: "Ugh. Romance, romance, romance."
M (leaning into J): "Ah. Romance, romance, romance."
A: "Hey!" Tries to lean into J and M.
M: "Nope, oh no. No romance for you. We'll call L and S and we'll build a barricade between the adults and the kids" (a reference to Thanksgiving, where the kids built a barricade across the living room entrance).
The movie concludes.
A (mouth hanging open as Ann-Margret sings a final "Bye bye Birdie."): "But... but... M, I thought you said that he goes into the Army."
J: "He does."
M: "Did you think you were going to see him fighting in the Army?"
A: (stricken dumb as the realization that he's been tricked into watching Romance Romance Romance. Nods head)
