As Duncan was sitting in his cell in Juvenile detention one of the guards walked up to his cell and opened the door and called for him.

Guard: Duncan report to the visiting room your parents want to see you

Duncan: now this is a surprise

When he reached the room, he found his parents sitting at one of the booths behind the glass holding the communicating phone.

Duncan: mom dad what are you doing here?

Duncan's Mom: son we have great news

Duncan's Dad: well great news for you, horrible news for me (his mom elbows his dad in the arm)

Duncan's Mom: son a TV company has accepted you to be on their reality TV show here see for yourself

She places the letter in the draw thingy and Duncan receives it on his end and opens it finding a contract, a plane ticket and a letter that said:

Dear Duncan Coleman

Duncan: I can't believe they accepted me

Duncan's Mom: better yet they're willing to pay your bail if you compete

Duncan: are you actually serious

Duncan's Dad: yes, but think this through son they'll make you do things you won't…

Duncan: who cares I'm getting outta here

He leaves while cheering to himself.

Duncan's Dad: he takes too much after your side of the family you know

Duncan's Mom: no one in my family has never even had a parole, but didn't you your brothers and cousins get sentenced here (Duncan's Dad frowns while annoyed)
