To bail you out again?
Dad, I swear this is the last time.
Son, I told you to be responsible. You got yourself into this, and you can get yourself out.

Where are you?
I'm nearby.
Dad? Is that you?
I made bail. I made a big, OK colossal mistake.

I won't tell Mom, but you owe me another bail if I need it.
Deal.
