Violet and Kurt are walking into the tire store.

"Hey, Dad." Kurt greets.

"Hey Burt." Violet says.

Burt's in the middle of fixing a car. "Hey, that's my boy. And my future daughter-in-law." He says.

Kurt blushes as he gives his dad a to go packege filled with food. "You forgot your breakfast. Suzanne Somers says that skipping breakfast is suicide."

Burt checks in the bag. "What is this?"

Violet answers. "It's an egg white wrap on a sprouted wheat tortilla, half a grapefruit and a green drink."

Burt frowns. "Where's my usual breakfast?"

"A Coke and two Slim Jims?" Kurt says, his voice full of disapproval.

Burt nods. "Yeah. Breakfast of champions."

Kurt sighs. "Dad, you are not a kid anymore. You have to start taking care of yourself."

Violet nods. "He's right Burt. I'm not saying you should totally give up junk food, but maybe eat a bit healthier."

Burt sighs. "Well, I guess with enough hot sauce, this will be all right. Thanks. Hey, don't forget, Friday night dinner is 6:00 instead of 7:00 this week. Carole and Finn are coming over, and she has to work the night shift."

Violet smiles. "I love Friday night dinners. They're so much fun!"

Kurt frowns. "I... I can't do this Friday. It's Sing-along Sound of Music at the El Royale Theater. It's a once-a-year event."

"And last week, you had to camp out early so you could be first in line for those Grey's Anatomy DVDs." Violet and Burt say.

"Season six." Kurt defends.

Burt sighs. "Okay, those Friday night dinners are a ritual in our family... One your mom started."

"I know, but I'm a teenager." Kurt defends.

Burt sighs. "Friday nights are kind of important to me."

Kurt looks down. "Why are you making me feel guilty about this? I, of all people, know how important the relationship is between you and Carole."

"Those dinners are more than important. They're sacred. Okay, the whole point of having something sacred is that it takes precedence over anything else you got going on." Burt says.

Violet sighs. "Kurt why are you being so difficult?"

"Sing-along Sound of Music is sacred to me." Kurt defends.

Burt raises his eyebrow. "What? You think I don't know that? Okay, wasn't I the one who bought you that Maria bonnet when you were six? Okay, the point is, if you start giving up stuff like Friday night dinners, then you got nothing to hold onto. Okay, let's face it, Kurt. If we don't schedule it, then we don't hang out. If we don't hang out, then our lives... They just go right by each other. And we don't share very much." He says.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not missing something that I look forward to all year just for another dinner. Maybe we could do it Thursday or something." Kurt says, looking unapologetic as he says it.

Burt sighs. "I got to tell you, Kurt. I'm real disappointed in you."

Violet crosses her arms.
