In this scene, a mother is frustrated with her son, Alex, for not completing his chores, particularly taking out the trash. Alex, focused on his video games, argues that he should be paid for his work and insists he only does what’s required. When the neighbor complains about Alex leaving dog poop on her lawn, the mother scolds him for neglecting his responsibilities. Alex continues to rationalize his actions, claiming he shouldn’t have to clean up after the dog unless he’s compensated. The conversation highlights themes of responsibility, entitlement, and the challenges of parenting a child who is learning about the value of chores and accountability. The mother tries to instill a sense of duty, while Alex pushes back with his desire for fairness in the “payment” for tasks.
