Capítulo 1 de 19 · 1'55"
On the surface this is ordinary morning chaos: a kid wants to play croquet, another won't eat, and a dad heads off to work. Underneath, it quietly establishes the family's warmth and their money worries. When a swear word slips out, the mother corrects it: "That's a bad word."
The Kid Drops a Bad Word at Breakfast
Morning in a suburban family kitchen. The kids are at the breakfast table as the father comes back from a run; the mother gently nags about eating, and later reminds him to call Fenn about a tree in the yard. It's a warm, ordinary scene that quietly sets up the family's money worries and the film's low-key tone.
Nothing dramatic happens here, and that's the point. The film wants us to see this family as real before the plot asks them to make hard choices. The breakfast-table rhythm — small corrections, half-finished jokes, a kid asking for juice — does the work of building ordinary life. The one sharp moment comes when a child repeats a curse word and the mother answers, "That's a bad word. Okay?" It's played for a laugh, but it also shows how this household handles things: gently, without real conflict. The nagging about a tree and an unreturned phone call adds a thin layer of adult worry under the banter — the small, unfinished chore that hints at a life slightly out of control. By the time the scene closes with "I love you too, sweetie," we already know exactly who these people are.

Jackie wants Mike to call him so the tree gets dealt with before it falls and damages the house — a small but telling reminder of the adult responsibilities hanging over the morning.
Mostly, yes. A child copies adult language and the mother has to gently shut it down. The scene plays it light, but it also shows the parents trying to keep things civil at the table.
It's an idiom meaning something finally meets expectations — roughly "now that's better." Here someone reacts to something improving, like a game turning around or a kid finally behaving.
He's been out for a run. His jogging is a recurring detail in the film that shows him trying to hold onto a routine even as other parts of his life get messy.
