Sibling Rivalry

... you both apologize to Jan."

"I'm not apologizing for what she did!" They both said it in unison, as if it were rehearsed.

"I said enough!" He looked angrier than Penny could ever recall seeing him. "For all I know, you were both mixed up in it. If one of you is innocent, maybe you ought to ask yourself why I don't trust you?"

"Been doing that all my life!" Penny seethed.

"Excuse me?" her father snapped.

"Penny, just apologize already," Cornelia said in the sweetest tone of voice she could muster.

"For what you did?"

"What I did?" Cornelia looked at her in mock surprise. "Didn't you tell me you wanted..."

Halfway through her sister's question, Penny knew just what was coming. She immediately looked at her father and said, "No! No, I didn't say that, she did, honest!"

It was all for naught as usual, for Larry listened to Cornelia finish her question - "to make sure she didn't feel welcome here?" - and then looked at Penny in disgust. "Oh, Penny!" he said.

"Dad! I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't do it! What part of that don't you understand, you asshole?!" Penny's eyes were wet with tears of rage.

It's not my place to tell you how to treat your kids, but I just can't stand this kind of favoritism! I had to live with it constantly when I was a kid and I won't have any part of it now!"

"Jan, look..." Larry said; Penny saw a familiar fear in his eyes.

Jan fulfilled that fear with what she said next. "I just can't take any more of this, Larry." She snatched up her purse from the cocktail table and stormed off towards the door. "Goodbye!"

"Wait, honey, please..." But she didn't, and the door slammed behind her. Larry turned around and kicked the wall. "Oh goddammit, oh goddammit, oh goddammit!" He threw himself down on the couch and buried his head in his hands.

Penny hadn't seen him cry even when her mother had died. She did see him cry now.

"Nice work, Penny," Cornelia said.

"Oh, shut up, you!" Larry roared from the couch. "Both of you, get lost!"

In the kitchen, Joe and Eric both did their best to pretend they hadn't heard anything. But that was hopeless. For Cornelia, of course, it was one down, one to go. She intended to spill the beans about Joe's fiancee over breakfast. "Well," she said, doing her best to drown out her father's sobs in the other room, "We might as well have breakfast. Penny, what do you feel like making?"

"Nothing, for you!" Penny snapped. "I can't even stand to be in the same room as you right ...
