The Salt and Pepper Shakers
Grayson
Okay, which one of you assholes stole my toolbox?
Holt
Why would any of us have stolen it? We all have our own.
Emmett
What Holt said. Are you sure you didn’t misplace it?
Grayson
It literally never leaves the garage.
Knox
Except when you use it and don’t put it back.
Holt
Weren’t you fixing Luddy’s bookshelf the other day?
Grayson
Oh, fuck. I’m never going to see any of my tools again.
Emmett
Knox
Serves you right for forgetting to put your toolbox away.
Grayson
Why do you have to be mean in my time of mourning?
Holt:
Because you’re an idiot?
Grayson
Judas!
Emmett
Go ask London where she put them.
Holt
He’s got a point. She probably remembers better than you do.
Grayson:
She put them in her closet because I never actually finished hanging the shelf and they were taking up space in her room.
Fuck. Why am I such a shitty dad?
Knox
No.
Holt
Take that back right now.
Emmett
That is the furthest thing from the truth, and you know it.
Knox
Think back, Gray. Why did you stop putting up the shelf?
Grayson
Because Luddy asked if I would color with her, and I did.
Knox
What was more important?
Grayson
Coloring with my kid.
Knox
Exactly.
Grayson
Thanks, guys.
Grayson changed the name of the group to The Best Daddies in the World.
Knox
If you call me Daddy, I will punch you straight in the teeth.
Emmett
Same.
