What are you doing?
Nothing.
Why are you watching Roadhouse?
Why aren't you at work?
I asked you first and my question is way more interesting.
It was just on.
I don't even know what that is.
Then how'd you know his name's Dalton?
I don't have to explain myself to you.
This is a pretty dirty movie.
How do you know it is rated R? for violence, language, and sexual content.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
So how many times have you seen Roadhouse?
Sorry, can't hear you.
More or less than five.
That's how many times I've seen it.
That's how many years you're going to be grounded if you don't drop it right now.
Does Dad know you like this movie?
No, and it is going to stay that way.
Because it is not something I should be watching.
Then why are you watching it?
It is a guilty pleasure.
So will you drop it now?
Relax.
I ain't going to tell nobody.
Thank you.
I think it's awesome you like it.
It is pretty cool how Dalton doesn't drive his Mercedes to the bar because he knows they're going to trash it.
Don't so dumb it.
No, sir.
I think Dad will love that you're into stuff like this.
I'm sure he would.
He took me to see Mad Max twice.
Really?
Actually, the second time, we couldn't find a sitter, so we brought you along.
How old was I?
I don't know.
Four?
No wonder I'm so cool.
So...
Why are you hiding it?
Well, because I'm supposed to be a good Christian.
Clearly, this is something I need to work on.
Well, before you fix it, you've got to watch Die Hard 2.
Bruce Willis stabs a guy in the head with an icicle.
I heard that that movie Roadhouse is supposed to be good.
Oh, yeah.
It's got that guy who looks like Georgie in it.
No, he doesn't.
Are you kidding?
He looks exactly like him.
Let's just watch MacGyver.
Everything okay?
I'm not sure.
What's going on?
He was muttering in his sleep that I am his training wheels.
What on earth does that mean?
Well, let's think about it.
Training wheels for little kids.
Maybe he doesn't want to be a little kid anymore.
What does that have to do with me?
You have made it your life's mission to hold him up.
What are you saying here?
That I am wrong to love and protect my son?
That he doesn't need his mother to keep an eye on him?
I'm not saying that.
I would never say that.
All right, then.
I'm not an idiot off the phone with your mom.
She's gonna work late, so i'll hang out to your dad.
I don't care.
Thought you might want to talk.
That's where the door was shot and the music was loud, because i want to talk, okay.
Okay, this is about a boy.
I know it feels like the end of the world, but i promise you're gonna have other boyfriends.
I don't want other boyfriends.
I want Marcus.
You feel that way now, but you're only 11.
So my feelings don't matter?
Hey, how about we go get some ice cream?
I'm not a child.
Just trying to help.
Leave me alone!
We'll get you another picture.
I don't want another picture.
I want this one.
I told you not to go in there.
It's my room.
Hey, you watch your tone.
What's going on?
Missy tore my Professor Proton picture, and now Dad's yelling at me.
You yelled first.
He yelled first.
I'll take care of this.
You don't even know what happened.
Did she tear up his picture?
Well, yeah, she did.
Honestly, I can't leave this house for five minutes without everything falling apart.
I was handling it.
Obviously.
You yell first.
Missy Cooper, you apologize to your brother right this second.
No.
I am not going to tell you again.
Why do you always take his side?
I do not.
Yes, you do.
Everybody does.
I hate this family.
You are grounded, young lady.
Fine.
It is fine.
Whoa, did somebody really die?
No one died.
Cool.
Where's dinner?
Anyone who wants dinner can make it for themselves.
I am not cooking.
Don't take it out on him.
Oh, take what out on me?
Stay out of it.
You really want to start this up again?
Well, are you asking me what I want?
Well, that's a first.
Oh, please.
Your whole life is doing whatever you want.
Oh, really?
You can just leave.
Did I want to get stuck coaching high school football?
Did I want to live across the street from your mother?
Did I want to spend my evening getting yelled at by my daughter and my son and my wife?
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you were so unhappy.
Because you never bothered to ask.
I figured you didn't eat.
I made you some soup.
Oh, thank you.
But you didn't have to do that.
Everything's fine.
I ain't a kid.
You ain't gotta lie to me.
OK.
Honestly, I'm upset with your father.
And I'm upset with myself.
Why?
Because.
He's right.
Maybe I do think I know best, and I can be critical.
But thank you for making me soup.
You're welcome.
Did you put water in this?
Was I supposed to?
That's the thing with pool balls and people.
They are both unpredictable.
Hi, George.
Oh, hey, Brenda.
What brings you out tonight?
Just needed to get out of the house.
I hear that.
Want some company?
Sure.
Mary, it's Brenda.
George is in the hospital.
What?
What's going on?
I'm not sure.
The paramedics think it might be his heart.
Is he OK?
I don't know.
The doctors are with him now.
All right.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Bye.
Hello.
Are the kids with you?
No.
Why?
George is in the hospital, and the kids are missing.
What's wrong with George?
Something with his heart.
I don't know what to do.
OK.
OK.
Well, you go to the hospital, and I'll go over to the house and see if I can find the kids.
Thank you.
You think they might be with Georgie?
I don't know where he is either.
Well, is he going to be OK?
You know as much as I do.
Now help me find the kids.
I'm on it.
I have an idea where they went.
Great.
And where are you, by the way?
Uh, at work.
This time of night?
Why?
Got to find the kids.
Brenda, have you heard anything?
Not yet.
Oh, what happened?
Um, I ran into George at the bar.
Next thing I know, he started having chest pains.
Thank the Lord you were there with him.
Oh, I really didn't do anything.
Don't say that.
Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't been there.
Yeah.
We're neighbors.
You and my wife are friends.
That's why it's weird, George.
But nothing actually happened.
There's no reason to feel guilty.
Okay.
I mean, do we have too much to drink?
Sure.
Did we talk about going home from the bar together?
Okay, I'm sorry about that.
Don't need to apologize because we didn't go.
All we did was have a nice time in a public place.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Kind of feels like it.
It does feel like it.
Why does it feel like it?
Maybe...
Because it was nice to talk to someone and feel special.
It was.
Okay.
Who is your favorite apostle and why?
Ooh.
I'm going to say Judas.
What?
How?
Well, for man to be redeemed, our Lord had to die.
If Judas hadn't betrayed him, Mankind wouldn't have been saved.
Pretty cool.
I never thought about it like that.
You know, when you come at things from unexpected angles, people pay attention more.
It's what I hope to do with the kids.
Well, you got my attention.
Hold on.
I'm not sure that we should be teaching the kids that Judas was cool.
Well, I just try to see everyone the way Jesus would.
Preach.
No, no.
That's your job.
Look.
I just want to get the kids excited about church.
Think of me as the warm-up band before you hit the stage.
I think we just found our new youth pastor.
Can we discuss this?
Of course.
When can you start?
This is wrong, right?
You mean how much we're enjoying it?
Yes.
Well, that's the nice thing about being a Christian.
We can always ask for forgiveness.
You have to really mean it.
Trust me, when I wake up with this taste in my mouth, I'll mean it.
I guess it reminds me of being young.
You remember your first cigarette?
Eighth grade.
I snuck it out of my mom's purse.
Ugh, menthol.
Ooh.
You?
Freshman year of college.
Trying to impress Melissa Coolidge at a party.
Man, I threw up so much.
Oh, no.
In my defense, it was an impressive amount.
You realize you have to tell your mother.
Well, I just told you.
Maybe we let it sit a while.
I can't know this and keep it to myself.
Del did, like a champ.
Georgie, you have to tell her.
Fine.
Will you at least be there?
Yeah.
And tell her?
What's going on?
Everything OK?
You might want to sit.
Now you're scaring me.
No one died.
Tell her the opposite, actually.
Tell me.
Um.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna have a baby.
Are you kidding me?
It's true.
Okay, now I do need to sit.
What do we even know about this girl?
Well, that's the thing.
Buckle up.
She's 29.
You's old?
Guess we're standing again.
What kind of 29-year-old dates someone your age?
Obviously the kind that was lied to.
What are we gonna do?
That's what we're figuring out.
You're gonna have to marry her.
I think so too.
Hell no!
What do you mean no?
He got her pregnant.
Mary, she's 29.
Well, what choice does he have?
She's not gonna marry him.
What's wrong with me?
You're an idiot.
You're irresponsible.
You live in a garage and use a sink as a toilet.
Care to jump in?
Hello?
Yeah, baby?
I was just wondering where everyone was.
Uh, we're just in here talking.
We'll be out in a little bit.
Everything okay?
I'm fine, but Missy's watching a movie called Porky's.
I don't know what that is.
That one's rough.
Not good.
I'll be right back in, baby.
You're gonna have to introduce us to this girl.
Why?
Because she's having a grandbaby, you dumb son of a bitch.
George!
But what he said.
I'll ask her.
She's not very happy with me right now.
Yeah, like her already.
Relax.
You earned this one.
Thank you.
You coming back to bed?
In a minute.
Kind of deja vu, huh?
Kind of.
I want to be furious at him.
But how can I?
The trick is to forget we did the same thing.
Then it's easy.
At the time, it seemed like our lives were over.
But then Georgie was born.
That crazy head of hair.
And just like that, it was the best thing that could have happened to us.
What kind of cigarette are you smoking there?
Oh, so what do we do now?
You know, we have a lot of choices.
We're going to be grandparents.
And what's the girl's name again?
Mandy.
And Mandy is going to be part of our lives in some shape or form until we're, you know, dead.
What do you mean shape or form?
George, he's got to marry her.
No, Mary, he doesn't.
How am I supposed to set foot in my church if our son has a child out of wedlock?
It's nobody's business.
It's a small town, George.
Everything is everybody's business.
You ever stop and think maybe she doesn't want to marry a 17 year old?
He'll be 18 in March.
All right, you're just being ridiculous.
I'm being a Christian.
When you were born, you were a gift from God, but that does not change the fact that I'm very mad at you.
Pastor Rob should be here any minute.
Maybe if it was in the classroom he was supposed to be, none of this would have happened.
You can't blame him for Missy punching someone.
If he was there to shut that kid up, Missy wouldn't have had to.
Sunday school is no place for violence.
The boy's parents are very upset.
Yeah?
Well, so am I. Sorry I'm late.
Hi.
I'm Rob.
Nice to meet you.
Wish it were under better circumstances.
Oh, that's right.
You haven't met.
Well, I've seen you around.
So, shall we get to the business at hand?
Obviously, we're mortified by Missy's behavior.
You know, it sounds like that punk had it coming.
While his words were out of line, it brings us to the bigger issue, which is...
People are talking about Georgie.
Bunch of holy rollers with no lives.
Well, we are a tight-knit community and sometimes that means what happens to one of us affects all of us.
Whether it's their business or not.
As Pastor Rob helped me realize, if I were in their shoes, I would have been judgmental myself.
Well, it's a mess, and something needs to be done.
I'm glad to hear you say that, because I was thinking that maybe you could give a sermon reminding the congregation what Jesus said about judgment and forgiveness.
Making a teaching moment.
I like it.
That's a way to go.
But I was thinking, you've got a lot going on right now.
Maybe take some time off, focus on things at home.
Hold on.
Are you firing her?
No, no.
Just a little leave of absence till things settle down.
Is that really necessary?
I believe it is.
As leaders of this church, we are held to a higher standard.
Are you asking us to leave the church?
Of course not.
Y'all talk a big game about community and then turn your back when things get a little messy.
Okay, let's just take a breath.
You do that.
We're leaving.
Come on, Mary.
George, let's talk this through.
I've heard enough.
I'll be in the truck.
There must be another way.
It's all right.
I'll, um... cleaning out my office.
I just can't believe the church turned its back on us.
The church may have, but God didn't.
I don't feel his presence right now.
Well, let's invite him to join us.
Oh, okay.
Heavenly Father, we ask for your guidance in these troubled times.
Please, watch over Mary Cooper and her family.
Let her know that, though this unborn child is out of wedlock, he or she is a miracle in your creation and should be celebrated as such.
Amen.
Amen.
What's going on here?
Uh, Brian.
We're praying.
Just praying.
Why aren't you in school?
You told me not to punch anyone else, so I left.
Well, go to your room.
I should probably go.
Of course.
Um, thank you for stopping by.
Of course.
Thank you for the tea and, uh, Oh, Pastor Rob dropped by.
Why?
Just seeing how we were doing.
You mean to see how you were doing?
What's that supposed to mean?
Come on, Mary.
You're not fooling anybody.
We were just praying.
Was that what we were calling it?
Yes, because that's what it was.
All right.
I've had enough of this.
Where are you going?
I'm making dinner.
Yeah, well, maybe Pastor Rob will eat it.
Actually, I work here now.
Oh, sure, okay.
I'm so sorry about how things went down at church.
If it helps at all, the place has gone to heck since you left.
Good.
I sure do miss working with you.
Well, we can still be friends, even if we don't work together.
I'd like that.
You find a kitty ball yet?
It's not about the weight.
Just, I have small fingers.
Oh, uh, Mary, this is Shannon.
Shannon, this is Mary Cooper.
Hi.
You used to be Mary Tucker.
Not in a long time.
You remember me?
Sorry, no.
Shannon Dixon.
He used to babysit me.
Is that so?
So great.
She would let me stay up late and watch TV while she would make out with her boyfriend.
Don't remember any of that.
Well, I'm not surprised.
You used to hit my dad's liquor cabinet pretty hard.
Well, Mary Cooper.
I was young and hadn't found the Lord.
You two.
Anybody here?
Missy?
Yeah?
You're home early.
It's 7 o'clock.
Is it?
Are you sleeping?
Yeah.
Where's dad?
Come here.
We were both just real tired.
Please stop talking.
That's what a lumberjack gets for chopping all that wood.
I'll be Paul Bunyan.
You can be my babe, the blue fox.
George.
Still?
Morning, honey.
What is happening with you two?
What do you mean?
Is one of you dying?
No one's dying.
Sometimes married people kiss.
On TV, maybe.
Not here.
Well, young lady, how do you think you came into this world?
Okay, you're freaking me out.
Nope.
I don't have any good stories.
Oh, come on.
You're married.
You're the only one of us getting any.
Really?
That's what we're talking about?
Married people sex?
Well, George and I have been...
Connected more lately.
Oh!
Details now.
No, no, no, I can't.
Oh, come on.
It's bad enough this one's got a secret boyfriend she won't tell us about.
Brenda Sparks?
How do I not know this?
First of all, I'm not Brenda Sparks anymore.
Oh, don't go changing the subject.
And there's no one.
She's lying.
There's some guy that she was sweet on, but she won't give us any info.
I think he's married.
Oh, interesting.
I thought there was no one.
You stayed out late.
I did what you said, and I made some new friends.
Well, good for you.
Who?
Brenda, Jill, and either Helen or Ellen, but I missed my window to make sure.
Sounds fun.
It was.
Oh, and get this.
I got dirt.
Ooh, what kind of dirt?
Brenda has a secret man that she is hiding from everybody.
Really?
And he might be married.
Really?
Well, who do you think it is?
Oh, I don't know, but me and the gals are going to find out.
What the hell, Brenda?
What the hell what?
Your friends all know about your secret boyfriend?
You think that's you?
Well, it's not.
No, George.
But who is it?
I didn't tell them.
I'm not going to tell you.
OK.
Oh, god.
Are you upset that there might be another guy in the picture?
No.
Good.
Go home to your wife.
I will.
OK.
Remember the last time we were here?
You mean the night you gave me a heart attack?
Stop it.
I did not give you a heart attack.
You gave me something.
Well.
Oh, hey, Mary.
What's going on?
Nothing.
What's going on with you?
Who's with Mandy?
The doctor.
What are you two doing out here?
Waiting on you.
Where have you been?
I was at lunch.
Hey.
I hear we're having a baby.
What, did I miss it?
What is he doing here?
He's a pastor, and he wanted to be here.
I mean, what is he doing here with you?
He asked me for some advice, so we had lunch.
So that's why no one could find you for hours.
Are you accusing me of something?
There's something to accuse you of?
Hey, today's a day of miracles.
Do you really want to be fighting?
Stay out of this.
We didn't do anything wrong.
I think I'm going to head out.
No.
He's staying.
You're staying.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
Just nothing.
What is going on with you two?
What's going on with you two?
You are being ridiculous.
Am I?
I got eyes, Mary.
So do I. And when I walked in, you and Brenda were acting weird.
What is that about?
Nothing.
It's about nothing.
Yeah.
It's nothing.
Is my husband your mystery man?
No.
She's dating someone else.
How do you know that?
She told me.
Why are you talking to my husband about your love life?
You know Mary, you might want to be careful about throwing stones, because I've seen your glass house.
What does that mean?
I saw how upset you were when this one was on a date.
Really?
What the hell do you mean real?
Oh, hi.
Everything okay?
Who is it?
Heather's mom.
Is everything okay?
You just heard me ask.
What's up?
No, Heather's not here.
They're at your house.
Huh.
What?
Heather told her mom she was staying here.
Classic.
I don't know if it's any help, but when I was her age and pulled this, it was just to go to a party.
Oh, great.
So she's at a party, who knows where.
You know what?
I'm going to go find her.
How?
I don't know.
I'm just going to drive around until I hear some carousing.
I'll go with you.
Will you both just stop for a minute?
There's nothing to do but wait.
Hey, to you.
How was Heather's?
Uh, fun.
Pizza, movies, the usual.
You look tired.
I didn't sleep too well.
Oh, sorry.
Well, I'm going to my room.
What happened to killing her?
I'll get to it.
I'm just so relieved she's okay.
Okay, I'm good.
Missy!
Wait for me! who wasn't there.
Keep your eyes on your own papers.
I'm not cheating.
Well, that's not what it looks like.
I guess you would know what cheating looks like.
Ask your husband.
What has gotten into you?
Well, it's your mother.
So the only time you two talk to each other is to yell at me?
That is not true.
Oh, really?
Where have you been sleeping the last couple nights?
Whoa.
You do not talk to us that way.
And you do not talk to your teacher that way either.
Sheldon says obnoxious things all the time.
But it's fine because he's special.
This is not about Sheldon.
For once.
We forgot to pick you up one time.
Cut the drama.
One time, you've been forgetting me my entire life.
Everything is Sheldon, now Georgie has a baby, and you two are fighting.
Might as well be invisible.
Not today, you're not.
Go to your room.
Fine.
And you're going to apologize to Mrs. Wilkins.
It's not her name anymore.
Can you believe her?
Maybe this wouldn't have happened if you were around.
Are you really trying to blame this on me?
I'm not the one sleeping across the street.
I'm here with our kids.
So you want to get into this?
Let's get into this.
What is going on with you and Brenda?
Nothing.
It doesn't seem like it.
Well, you're honestly saying that you don't light up every time Pastor Rob's around?
Maybe I do.
Nothing ever happened.
I wouldn't do that.
You saying I would?
You tell me.
I wouldn't.
But you like being around her.
We have nothing to talk about.
Fine.
Then let's just yell at each other.
I'm not yelling at you.
Mary, we're neighbors.
Our kids, our friends.
We're going to be in each other's lives for a long time.
Let's do this.
I am busy.
I am making a cake.
And I'm talking to a pain in the ass who won't admit she's mad.
I'm not mad.
Really?
How about now?
Backyard!
Do you even think about how your actions affect other people?
Love it.
Keep it coming.
You couldn't hang on to your crappy husband, so you tried to move in on my crappy husband.
Good, good.
That hurt, but good.
Do you have any idea what it feels like to have your husband prefer to hang out with your best friend over you?
I know how it feels to have my husband leave me.
Then you should know better.
You're right.
I mean, I get that you're fun, and I'm just a churchy stick in the mud.
Mary, I don't even think it was about me.
It could have been anybody.
That doesn't make me feel better.
I just mean I'm not his wife, which makes me easier to talk to.
Don't make it right, but talks all it was.
Are you sure?
I swear.
Like how sometimes...
It was easier for you to talk to Pastor Rob.
But shouldn't George and I want to talk to each other?
Don't ask me.
I couldn't hang on to my crappy husband.
I'm sorry about that.
It's true.
You want to talk about it?
That'd be nice.
George around?
Okay, not ready to joke.
Oh, look, another letter from Mom.
Aw, I think it's so romantic you two writing to each other.
Just because he's a cheapskate.
He can be both.
Well, I think it's sweet.
Well, I can write you a letter if you want.
Please don't.
Why not?
Because your spelling makes me sad.
I can use small words.
Dear George, I really loved your last letter.
Who would have thought that I would have a love affair in Germany and that it would be with you?
I miss you all so much, but it sounds like everyone is doing great.
By the way, Missy's new friend, Taylor, is that a boy or a girl?
Missy!
I've included some Polaroids of your granddaughter and your hot American boy toy.
Don't feel bad for being confused about Missy's friend.
He is a boy, but don't worry.
I'm on top of it.
I've been sitting here staring at your picture, thinking about all the years we've been together and how I may have taken you for granted the last few.
I do appreciate you.
I do love you.
And I'm sorry I don't say it enough or say it at all.
So...
Rest up, because when I get back, I'm gonna show you how much.
Oh, Lord, I missed you.
Oh, I missed you too.
I was talking to the bed.
Oh, it's been a while since we've been apart for so long.
I know.
Long time for a man to be without his wife.
George, I want to, but I just spent 18 hours with you-know-who.
I need to sleep.
Understood.
Wouldn't take long, but understood.
I promise, if you wait, it'll be worth it.
I might even have a little surprise for you.
Ooh, I like the sound of that.
All right, I can wait.
But if you can't wait, just give me a poke in the ribs.
I'll be ready right quick.
Hey.
Hey, Mary.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
That's a nice surprise.
Well, I just thought I'd come hang out, watch you turn this ragtag bunch of kids into steak champs.
George, you didn't tell me Germany made her funny.
Hey, I think we got a real shot this year.
Lopez, what the hell did you eat?
What you got there, Mary?
Oh, I made some snacks for the team.
You bring anything for the coaches?
Just a little sugar.
So we over the jet lag?
I think so.
Okay, now I'm going to puke.
Grow up.
Are you ready for your surprise?
I sure am.
Okay.
Hello, you handsome American boy toy.
I am Helga.
Do you like what you see?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hello?
Are you sure your wife won't come home?
I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah.
I never talked to my father about what I saw that day, but from then on I added extra knocks so people could get their pants on.
Are you hungry?
I have half a bucket of spaghetti in the fridge.
I could eat.
All right.
I'll go heat it up.
What?
You think I'm going to take the baby and run?
Yes.
Would you like some garlic bread?
That sounds nice.
Thanks for coming by.
Yeah, what's the situation?
Well, right now it's kind of a standoff.
They're eating spaghetti, and Mary's holding the baby hostage.
All right.
What's our plan?
Well, I figure we'll be dealing with each other for the rest of our lives, so we got to keep things simple.
I'm with you.
Let me start by saying you are a pleasure.
Oh.
Back at you.
And your daughter is a keeper.
And your son is a fine young man.
Thank you.
So you ready to do this?
I'm right behind you.
Who stopped that?
Mmm, that's good coffee.
Is that Folgers?
Maxwell House.
Oh, sure.
Good to the last drop.
Audrey, am I crazy or didn't we used to drink Maxwell House?
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Why'd we change?
It's a mystery.
Speaking of mysteries, Mary, did you ever find out anything you were looking for?
Family heirloom, just gone.
Maybe her mother stole it.
I'm not holding a baby anymore, so you better watch it.
Audrey's uncle was a bank robber.
Jim!
He's in Leavenworth.
He's my uncle by marriage.
Look, all I'm saying is every family's got secrets, right?
We sure got some skeletons in the closet.
We do not.
Other than my mother.
And?
My cousin Janine is a practicing witch, but that's it.
Worship Satan.
Yeah, I got you beat.
My brother William, he's a Democrat.
He voted for Mondale.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Actually, it feels good to talk about it.
Hey, what you doing?
It's the twins' first birthday.
Look how little they were.
Look how little I was.
And Georgie, when he lost his first tooth.
When he learned it was worth a quarter, he tried pulling out the rest of them.
Guess he's always been a businessman.
Yeah, and an idiot.
Tell me you don't miss their sweet little faces.
That's why we took pictures.
It's not the same as rocking them to sleep at night.
Until they wake you up at 3 AM.
Smelling their little heads.
Really?
That's the smell you remember?
Come on, it wasn't that bad.
It wasn't, but we were younger then.
I'm not saying we should try for another one.
Great.
I'm just saying if there was an accident, I'd be happy accident.
Mm-hmm.
I guess it's in God's hands.
I guess it is.
Hello.
I'm here about a vasectomy.
Actually, our earliest appointment is in three weeks.
That long, huh?
I can't do it.
I cannot do it.
Something may have just opened up.
I'm going to talk to you alone.
Okay.
You want to shut the door?
Uh-oh.
No, it's actually pretty exciting.
Oh, tell me.
And it's also a little scary.
George, just say it.
I'm getting offered a coaching job at Rice.
Really?
Special teams.
Wow.
Yeah.
And I know moving's a big deal.
And it's OK if now's not the right time.
You should take it.
You sure?
Well, I mean.
Georgie and Mandy are out of the house.
Sheldon's leaving soon.
Missy's starting a new school anyway.
It seems like a good time to do this.
What about your mom?
It's easy.
I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it's not that far away.
Yeah, I guess, but... George, you deserve this.
I mean, college ball.
That's the dream.
Sounds like we're moving to Houston.
I know it looks a little lived in, but it's got good bones.
Yeah.
How much can we get for it?
Well, I need to see the rest of the house.
Of course.
And we recently redid the plumbing.
And that was pricey.
Write that down.
And this is our daughter's room.
We told her to clean up, but no promises.
Oh, hello, ma'am.
What a charming room.
It's been such a blessing to grow up here.
I just hope some lucky family loves it as much as I have.
I'm sure they will.
Well, I'm going to pray on it.
Okay, moving on.
This is our little boy's room.
Might want to stay there until I finish my sweep.
What are you doing?
You said the realtor was coming over today.
I wanted to make sure my room wasn't still radioactive.
Oh, it was never radioactive.
We don't know that.
I did have radioactive material.
There was no radioactive material.
The FBI stopped him before he got any.
Oh, you're talking about the uranium I tried to buy.
I'm referring to the americium isotopes I was using to make a nuclear reactor.
Don't write that down.
Don't forget we have the family portrait today.
Do we really have to stand in a field of flowers?
Yes.
If you're worried about getting stung, I have a backup beekeeper uniform.
You are not wearing a beekeeper uniform in the picture.
Please, it'll really help my story about him going to a special school.
What's happening?
We are leaving for the blue bonnet picture at four.
Don't be late.
Wouldn't miss it.
Hey, you want a ride to school?
No, I'll take the bus.
Suit yourself.
See y'all later.
Four o'clock.
If I get stung by a bee, I'm turning you into Child Protective Services.
Hmm.
What am I smelling?
I'm wearing peppermint oil.
It's a natural bee repellent.
You smell like a candy cane.
Do not lick me.
Hey, speaking of smells, do I have time to change, Cece?
Still waiting on George.
Go ahead.
Okay.
You need some help?
No.
Well, I am an all-white.
Yes.
What's going on?
Mary, we got some bad news.
Where's George?
I'm so sorry.
He, uh, he had a heart attack.
He's OK, right?
I met George in high school.
Well, I was in high school.
He was an older man with a motorcycle.
I'd like to tell you he caught my eye, but actually it was the motorcycle.
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
I am so angry.
George and I had our ups and downs, but we were finally in such a good place.
And then he left.
He left all of us.
How could you do that?
I am so mad at him.
I'm mad at God.
I'm mad at myself for not trying harder while he was here.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Thank you.
Thank you, darling.
Thank you, Jeff.
