Richard mentioned the message about Cher's sister, saying that it talked about something about "Little Sunshine", which immediately excited Oliver. Can't wait to run to listen to the answering machine's message.
It turned out that Oliver had won the runner-up in the beauty pageant before. The champion had his trophy confiscated because of the diet pills, and Oliver became the champion and was able to participate in this Sunday's interstate campaign in Redondo Beach.
The news made little Oliver unable to contain his excitement, and began to scream frantically, "Oh, God, I won, I won, I won." Watching Little Oliver shout "I won" and start packing All the spectators smiled involuntarily as they prepared to go to the competition.
After Cher called back to inquire about the situation, she learned that her sister's family was going to a riding competition this weekend, and if Oliver wanted to go to the competition, Cher or Richard would have to take her to Redondo Beach, California. Richard was reluctant, and he vehemently opposed it, because he had to meet his publisher, Stan Grossman, over the weekend. This suddenly detonated a fierce quarrel between Richard and Cher.
They want to go by plane, but don't have the money; drive the automatic car and grandpa can't sit down - grandpa thinks he is Oliver's coach and he has to go; drive the manual car, Cher can't drive, the only one who can drive is Richard I don't want to go there. After hesitating, Richard was willing to drive over, but Frank couldn't stay at home alone, and it was not safe enough to leave Dwyane and Frank at home, and finally decided that all six of them had to go. Dwayne strongly objected, and finally Cher promised him the conditions he wanted to apply for the Air Force Academy, and finally persuaded Dwayne to agree to go to Redondo Beach.
In this whirlpool of quarrel, Oliver still shouted "I won" and ran around the house. That lively little figure brought joy to every corner of the place.
Richard grabbed the excited Oliver seriously and said, "If you think you can't win, there's no point in participating in the competition. Do you think you can win the 'Little Miss Sunshine' competition?" Cher felt The husband put too much pressure on Oliver, but Richard insisted.
After hesitating, Oliver gave an affirmative answer. Richard finally made a final decision, and everyone went to California to participate in the competition.
Before going to bed at night, Dwayne wrote a note to Frank, "Don't kill yourself tonight." This stubborn and indifferent little boy wrote this sentence, which made people smile. Frank made his promise, and Dwayne again wrote "Welcome to Hell". It was late at night, and the Hoovers had officially embarked on a road trip to Redondo Beach.
The creamy yellow six-seater old-fashioned bread minibus gallops on the road, just like the warm sunshine, smearing a warm color between the mountains and the road.
In the van, Oliver was listening to music with headphones. Grandpa began to complain that the road trip was really tiring. "Even if a woman comes and asks me to **** her, I can't do it." This made Richard worried, but Grandpa didn't care at all, he patted and sat side by side. Dwayne "Let me give you a suggestion." Even though Dwayne shook his head and refused, Grandpa insisted on saying it.
"That's a rule of thumb, do you hear? Fuck more women, Dwayne, don't just do one, do more." Even though Richard kept calling stop worriedly in front of him, hoping to stop his father, but Grandpa was still unrelenting, undisturbed, and taught tirelessly, "You are fifteen years old and haven't **** a woman yet? God, you have to hurry up and have more little girls, that's a good thing."
Frank was frightened by Grandpa's vulgar words, and Richard shouted irritably, but was blocked by Grandpa's words, "Can you please not interrupt me...". After letting Richard quiet down, grandpa continued, "You are a young man, they are little girls, they are all minors, they are perfect match! When you are eighteen years old, if you are looking for minors, you will be imprisoned. "
Hearing Grandpa's blatant words, Richard was completely angry, and he quarreled directly with Grandpa. Both father and son blushed and had thick necks. Grandpa couldn't help but say, "You are exactly the same as the guy in Xiyanghong Nursing Home." Evicted from the nursing home.
Out of curiosity, Frank asked, "What happened to Sunset Red?"
It turned out that grandpa started smoking **** in the nursing home because he felt that he was old and should enjoy it, he shouted to Dwayne, "You think I'm stupid, you must not smoke that thing, young people play that Stuff is crazy. I'm old, and it's crazy not to do this when I'm old."
But when Grandpa was having fun talking about drugs and sex, Oliver took off his earplugs and turned to ask, "What are you talking about?"
Grandpa's eyes are sure, and he blurted out "politics."
The whole movie theater burst into laughter. On the one hand, he was laughing at how fast his grandfather changed his face, and on the other hand, he was also laughing at the fact that politics, drugs, and **** were not much better. This is also an irony.
The Hoover family was having lunch at a fast-food restaurant at a gas station. Oliver was going to order an ice cream. Everyone else estimated Oliver, but Richard kept saying that eating ice cream would make him fat. It is absolutely not allowed. Richard was asking a seven-year-old girl to lose weight. This move was immediately attacked by everyone. Grandpa didn't give Richard a good face.
When the ice cream came, Oliver struggled to decide not to eat ice cream. But Grandpa deliberately joined Frank, Dwayne, and Cher to eat ice cream together, showing a look of relish. The young Oliver naturally couldn't stand this temptation, so he immediately held the rest of the ice cream in his palm, and after taking a bite, he showed a happy and contented expression.
After lunch, Richard took out his mobile phone to call Stan, but the call was still recorded, and Richard still earnestly left his request. When Cher came over and asked, Richard said there was no signal.
After getting back into the car, Cher, who could not drive the manual transmission but only the automatic transmission, thought that she should learn how to drive the manual transmission and share it for Richard. Sadly, the clutch and handle were broken. The repair shop said that the parts of this classic car must be temporarily transferred. Today is Saturday again, and there is no way to repair it. However, one advantage of this classic car is that it does not require a handle to shift from third gear to fourth gear, only the first gear is required to shift to second gear when starting, so as long as the car has a starting force - for example, on a **** , after the car is started, it can resume normal driving.
So, the Hoovers began to push the cart.
Richard was in the driver's seat, Grandpa was by the door, and everyone else was in the back of the car, pushing the car forward, but after the car started, Grandpa got in, then Oliver, Frank, and finally Dean. Wayne. This combination of primitive and mechanical travel made the Hoover family unite for the first time, and for the first time since the opening, the audience couldn't help laughing out loud.
The charm of road trips is that there are beautiful scenery along the way, and there are endless beautiful panoramic views. The only frustrating thing is that it would be a tragedy if people in the same group hated each other because everyone was stuck in a car.
Richard starts to brag about his own book, like a megalomaniac, which finally sparks Frank's displeasure, and the two taunt each other in the car. Richard still felt right, but everyone was watching his jokes, and when Stan called, Richard was like a clown and couldn't wait to pick up the phone. But on the highway there was no signal, and it had to stop at a gas station. Richard calls Stan on the payphone, but gets a tragic answer and the book is over.
Cher went to the bathroom, Oliver went to rehearse his performance, and Dwayne continued to do push-ups. The bored grandpa asked Frank to buy some pornographic magazines for him, and said jokingly, "I'll get you one too."
Frank is picking out all kinds of pornographic magazines in the convenience store, only to bump into his student, the boy he loves. Only then did he discover that his student and his lover, Frank's rival Larry, drove out to celebrate the scholarship. This stabbed Frank again.
Frank was embarrassed to hide his injured wrist, and tried his best to look like he didn't care, but the intermittent words revealed his inner anxiety. At this moment, the pornographic magazines that Frank bought were revealed from behind, which made the male student suddenly embarrassed that Frank should be gay. In a panic, the male student hurriedly said goodbye.
After buying the magazine, Frank, in order to avoid being seen by Larry, could not help but hide behind the bookshelf, looking rather embarrassed. Back in the car, the low-pressure Frank threw the magazine directly to Grandpa.
And when Grandpa heard the tone and situation of Richard's call, he knew that things were not good, and said worriedly, "God, he can't handle it."
Cher, who came back from the bathroom, saw the furious Richard, and knew that the publication of the book was in jeopardy. "I thought you said everything was done." Richard revised and said, "He said it was done. ."
Xueer immediately realized that something was wrong. "What? Then you didn't get anything? What should we do?" The two people in the rage began to quarrel again. This quarrel obviously hurt the feelings of the two couples. But Richard obviously didn't want to talk about it, and, moreover, it wasn't a good time and place for a deep discussion. So Richard got back into the car angrily. In desperation, Cher could only get into the passenger seat angrily. Since the car was parked on a half slope, Richard just released the handbrake and left. .
After the yellow van drove out for a while, all the audience at the scene noticed the abnormality, but they could not say anything. At this moment, Dwayne looked around and noticed something was wrong, took out his small notebook, wrote the words on it, patted Frank, and said "Where's Oliver?"
It was then that everyone realized that the cute little Oliver had gone to rehearsal, and everyone had forgotten her at the gas station. Richard had to drive back again. When passing the gas station, Richard slowed down the speed of the car, little Oliver ran fast, and finally grabbed Frank's outstretched hands, and was suddenly carried into the car. After receiving Oliver, the big family was able to move on.
After the car hit the road, grandpa walked behind Richard, knowing his son's career failure, grandpa finally stood on the role of father and expressed his condolences to Richard "No matter what happened, at least you tried, than Most people are stronger. That includes myself. I'm so proud of you." The quarrelsome father and son finally reconciled, with Richard still holding his breath, saying "Thank you, Dad." The bitter smile on his face revealed the pain in his heart. Grandpa put his hand on Richard's shoulder and patted it lightly, which made Richard put down his guard completely, lowered his voice and said again, "Thank you, Dad." Then he held Grandpa's hand. At least at this moment, the audience finally saw the warmth of the Hoover family.
Stayed in the motel at night, Grandpa and Oliver slept in one, Frank and Dwayne in one, Cher and Richard in the last room It is agreed that tomorrow morning at seven o'clock again Set off.
Cher and Richard had a fierce quarrel. They mentioned bankruptcy and even divorce. Even in the quarrel, Richard still kept every word from success, which made Cher more and more uneasy. Impatient, "I don't want to hear that **** nine-step song anymore!" The quarrel became more and more intense. Richard knew that it would not work like this. Impulsively, he put on his clothes again and walked downstairs. , which is only twenty-three miles from Scottsdale, and since Stan is on a business trip in Scottsdale, Richard intends to confront Stan directly. But he couldn't move the **** van by himself. In desperation, he found the young people who were chatting not far away, borrowed their mopeds, and resolutely set foot on Scott in the dark of night. Sid's road. After seeing Richard off, Cher stood in the hallway smoking a cigarette—even though she kept clamoring to quit. Dwayne slept next door, quietly listening to his parents' quarrel coming from the other side of the thin wall, he remained silent, even with a sarcastic smile on his face, while the sentence "I hate Everyone" seems to be more and more active at this moment. Frank was a little worried, and came out and turned on the TV, which was playing the picture of Bush Jr. delivering a speech. But when Frank got back to the bathroom, Dwayne turned off the TV again and listened quietly to the conversation on the other side of the wall. After washing up, Frank, who was about to go to bed, looked at the photo of him and the male student in his wallet, feeling sad by himself.
In the remaining room, it was a different scene.
