From an old Episode of South Park I happened to see last night.
A subplot in this episode is the breakdown of Stan's parents' marriage. Randy and Sharon divorce due to constant bickering. Sharon does not seem to dwell on the break-up too long, however, and introduces Stan to a new stepfather, Roy, who promptly moves into the family home.
Stan's dad come to pick him up for visitation:
Sharon: Stanley, it's time to go! Stan: Go where? Sharon: Your bastard father has visitation rights, and this is his time with you. Stan: But no! I have to get the girls to come- Sharon: Come on, Stanley! [takes him away by the hand] Stan: Weak! [a car is heard pulling up. It's Randy in a red sports car] Dad? Randy: Hey, Stanley, uuh, hop in. [Stan gets in, and they peel off] Listen, Stanley, I I know all this change must be tough on you, but you know, your- your mother and I thought it'd be best for all of us if we'd split up. Stan: But I don't understand why we have to- Randy: [stopping next to a pink Jeep] Well, hello, ladies. Passenger: [a blonde] Hi, handsome. We're gonna be at Larry's Bar tonight. Randy: [suavely] I'm already there. [the passenger winks at him and the ladies peel off. Randy turns to Stan] What were we talking about? Oh yeah. See, your mother and I still care about you and your sister. But we just don't like being around each other any more. Stan: Well, I don't like being around my sister anymore; does that mean I can leave her, too? Randy: Well, no, because you're a family! You just can't leave family; you have to stick with family, no matter what. Stan: But you and Mom are family; how come you can just split up? [Randy is stumped on that one] You know what I think? I think that when you and Mom got married, you became family. And now that you are, you shouldn't be able to leave her anymore than I can leave my sister. Randy: Ho ho, Stan, you're so young. You just don't get it. [arrives at the house] Well, anyway, have a nice day. Stan: What? That's it? Randy: Yeah. But I loved our time together. I hate to see it end. Go on, get out. [Stan gets out] You know that nothing is more important to me than you, right, Stan? Stan: I guess, but- [Randy drives off, and Stan watches]

Later, Stan is talking to his moms new boyfriend who is living with them.
Stan: Do you mind if I watch cartoons? I've had a rough day. Roy: Nnuuhunuuhh. Stan: What? Roy: Chores. Do chores. Stan: My dad lets me watch cartoons. Roy: Well I'm not your dad. Okay? I'm NOT your dad! You you can't just go around playing games with my emotions. [starts weeping and walks away as Sharon approaches] Sharon: [arms akimbo] Stanley, what did you do to Roy?! Stan: Roy's a dick! He ruined my chances with Wendy in the clubhouse! Sharon: [sighs] Stanley, you know you're the most important thing to me, right? Stan: If that's true, then get back together with Dad for me! Sharon: Now Stanley, you have to understand how divorce works. When I say, "you're the most important thing to me," what I mean is, you're the most important thing after me and my happiness and my new romances. Stan: Oh. Sharon: Bye now. Roy! [goes after him] Stan: Divorce is stupid! [clicks on the TV, and the new Fat Abbot show comes on]

[The Marsh house] Sharon: Stanley?! Your father is coming over for visitation! Stan? [sees the note and reads] Meet me in the clubhouse. [tosses the note onto the sofa and walks out] Roy: [coming in] Sharon? Sharon, have you seen my copy of Harper's? [sees the note and reads] Meet me at the clubhouse. [In the clubhouse. Randy is alone there] Sharon: [opens the curtain and sees him] Oh, Randy. What are you doing here? [gets in and sits apart from him] Randy: Iii-uuh got a note from Stanley to come out to the-uh clubhouse. Sharon: Oh I thought that note was for me. Randy: Oh, maybe it was. Sharon: [looks around the room] Well, it looks like our little Stanley has built himself quite a clubhouse here. Randy: I remember not too long ago we were just kids playing kissing games in my clubhouse. Sharon: [an awkward moment, then gets up and goes for the curtain] Goodnight. Randy: Sharon? Sharon: Yes? [turns to face him] Randy: Truth or Dare? Sharon: It's too late for games. [goes back and sits down] Randy: No, I'm serious, please. Truth or Dare? Sharon: Truth. Randy: Do you still love me? Sharon: Oh, Randy, I do love you, but- now I'm so confused-uh. I'm living with Roy and-, I don't know how to break it off with him. Roy: [exits the house looking for] Sharon- [the trap is sprung] Guh-ow! Uh. Ey! Uh. Randy: Well, you never know. Maybe- Roy: He- Randy: -thing will work out. Roy: Hello? Sharon: Maybe. I guess it's my turn. Truth or Dare? Roy: Sharon? Randy: [sensually] Dare. Sharon: Do me. Right here in the clubhouse! [he pounces on her and they go at it]
