Brad Taylor
- [Tim walks into the kitchen from his workshop, unzips his coat and prepares to put it on the coat rack near the fridge]
- Tim: Hey, everybody.
- Brad Taylor: Hey, Dad.
- [Tim stops short and does a double take when he sees Brad's new haircut for the first time]
- Tim: [as he puts his coat on the rack] What the hell happened to you?
- Brad Taylor: I got a haircut.
- Tim: With what? A weed whacker?
- Jill Taylor: Tim.
- [Tim approaches Brad and tries to get a good luck at Brad's ponytail; Brad refuses]
- Tim: What's this thing?
- Brad Taylor: A ponytail.
- Tim: Why did you do that to yourself?
- Brad Taylor: I went to the barber shop, saw the picture and thought it looked cool.
- Tim: You look like an idiot!
- Jill Taylor: Tim, just give it some time. You're gonna get used to it.
- Tim: I don't wanna get used to it!
- Jill Taylor: Yes, ya do.
- Tim: No, I don't! I don't understand. None of your friends have haircuts like this!
- Brad Taylor: You're the one that's always telling me not to be like my friends. If all my friends jumped in a lake, would you want me to?
- Tim: With hair like this, I'd ask you to join in.
- [Brad scoffs and begins to walk away]
- Brad Taylor: You're real funny, dad.
- Tim: I'm not taking you down to the hot rod shop looking like that!
- [Brad stops to face Tim]
- Brad Taylor: Just because of my hair?
- Tim: You got it!
- Jill Taylor: Tim, c'mon. You promised you'd take him.
- Brad Taylor: No, no, no. You know what, Mom? I don't wanna go anymore! I mean, I don't give a crap about his hot rod or his stupid engine!
- [Brad makes his up way to the front entrance of the Taylor house before turning to face his parents one final time]
- Tim: [outraged] Don't talk to me like that!
- Brad Taylor: Don't worry. I won't be talking to you.
- Tim: I won't be talking to you either.
- Brad Taylor: Well, double fine!
- Tim, Brad Taylor: [bickering to each other] Fine, fine, fine!
- [Brad leaves and heads upstairs]
- Jill Taylor: [sarcastically] Well... that was mature.
- Tim: Don't blame him. He's just a kid.
- Jill Taylor: I was talking about you!
- Tim: You like that haircut?
- Jill Taylor: No! But it's no big deal. It's just hair!
