summer holiday . one of my favorite episodes. school break from scumbag college
Both my parents are dead! The selfish bastards!! lol
RICK: [stands, a little cocky] Well, thank goodness I haven't got to stay here all summer with you ghastly so-and-sos. I can wait to get home.
MIKE: Oh, sorry, Rick. I forgot to tell you. You had a phone call this morning.
RICK: Did I? Oh, it's probably from Mummy, wanting to know what time train I'll be getting. [very happy] Honestly, she gets so overexcited when she hears I'll be coming home. She's probably started making scrummy Shepherd's Pies already!
MIKE: Actually, Rick, I don't think she'll be making any more Shepherd's Pies.
RICK: And Daddy, alright, so he's an old square. And maybe he does vote Tory. He's got where he is today by hard slog, and he's got to put tax concessions first. [laughs] Daddy's just going to be chopped to bits when he hears about my exam results. Touch wood! [laughs] Of course, we argue about politics and things all the time. Did he ask about my exams?
MIKE: Uh, I don't think so, Rick. He wouldn't be able to.
RICK: I wonder if they've redecorated my bedroom. They always talk about wanting to do it, but I'll never let them do it!
MIKE: Rick, your parents died this morning.
RICK: [continuing on] Really, I suppose it is a bit childish to have aeroplanes on your wallpaper. But they are blue, and I am a boy! At least I was the last time I looked!
<[laughs, then stops as what Mike said sinks in]
My parents are dead?
MIKE: So, I guess you'll be spending your summer here, like the rest of us.
RICK: I can't believe it. My parents are dead!
NEIL: You think that's bad?
RICK: Yes I do, actually, what's it to you, pissface?!
MIKE: Shut up, you're ruining my holiday!
RICK: Ruining your holiday? What about my holiday?! Both my parents are dead! The selfish bastards!! I was going to spend the whole summer with them!
