Really? I just tipped an invisible cap to the man I lost my virginity to.
So why don't you drive me on home? Yes, ma'am.
Mags, the house looks just the same.
Is that the porch swing your dad built? Yeah, we brought it around to the front.
Oh, I love it.

- Oh, man.
Oh, I want one of your bear hugs.
- Wait a second.
Wait a second.
- What? Are they not feeding you in China, you Skinny Marink? Okay, you know what it is? They are working me, literally, to the bone.
It's the different sauces.
They got different sauces there, and it wreaks havoc on the plumbing.
- Oh, babe, can we not - No, it really doesn't.
- And be honest with me.
- Yeah.
Did those sauces take your butt by storm? - Babe.
- No, can I just say? They actually did take my butt by storm.
- I knew it.
- It's real.
I didn't have the words, I didn't have that phrase, but - I'm gonna tell you what it is.
- That's what was happening.
They haven't defined whether or not these are sweet sauces or sour sauces, okay? - Right, and you're mixing 'em.
- You're mixing 'em up.
- And it becomes like a - All of a sudden - Mr.
Wizard situation.
- You know what I'm saying? Sorry to, like, interrupt this reverie Yeah, yeah.
But did you finish the crib like I asked? Damn it! I forgot to do it.
- Yeah, all right.
- Yeah.
You know what? I'm gonna go down in my man cave, I'm gonna finish it up right now, and you should go inside and see what your weird brother did to the place.
- All right, buddy.
- Okay, welcome home! It's so good to see you.
- Okay, thank you.

I got it.
Come on.
Thank you.
All right.
To the left, my lady.
Oh, my God.
What is this woodland wonderland? Do you like it? Do I Is this a hedgehog cupcake? I'm gonna punch you in the face right now.
- It was all Zach.
- Thank you.
I take walks in the forest when I need to think, and that's where I got my inspiration.
If you hadn't sexually harassed me all through high school I would assume you were a stone-cold gay man.
I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
- Hold on.
- What is wrong? Nothing.
It's just work.
- I got to - Uh-huh.
I have a big presentation that just got moved up, so I got to do it tonight, but No, this is the only weekend you've asked off for in three years.
I know, but you're not even gonna notice.
- I'm noticing right now.
- No, because you know what? I'm gonna do it at night when you're snuggled up like a bug in a rug growing this human.
- All right? - Okay.
Will you make me a fluffernutter, please? - Yes.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- It's good from behind too.
Hey, Pan's Labyrinth, get down off that step stool.
- I got to talk to you.
- Sure.
I just need to ask you one question.
What? - Do you notice anything? - No.
I gained 15 pounds since last we met.
Well, it doesn't show.
Well, that's because it's all in my thighs.
That's where a woman gains weight, just FYI.
Well, just FYI, that's where I gain weight too.
Could you just tell me what's going on with the video? Yeah.
I just gotta Ken burns it.
Ken bur what? The shower's in two hours.
Hey, they have Apple TV.
All I do is connect my laptop to their wi-fi, although I would feel more comfortable if we had a code word for when to start.
Okay, fine, what do you want the code word to be? - Tornado.
- Ugh.
I can't - I just felt a kick.
- Aww! Mags, Bruce's mom is here.
- Hide the booze! - Oh! In front of you, you'll see diapers loaded with melted chocolate, simulating poop.
You can sniff it, you can lick it.
Just scream out what kind of chocolate it is.
Everybody ready? Start sniff in'! - Okay.
- Oh, God.
- Is it a Mr.
Goodbar? - This is delicious.
- Take 5.
- Is this a Krackel? Yep.
- Is this Oh.
- Nestle Crunch.
Don't you dare answer that phone.
Oh, my God, listen.
Keep sniff in', Tom Selleck.
You're doing great.
- Goobers.
- It's outrageous! - Milky Way Midnight.
- Mounds! - No.
- Oh, my God.
This is real poop.
Just kidding, you guys.
Almond Joy.
Five more seconds, ladies.
A Snickers.
Snickers! - Cookies 'n' Creme.
- I got a nut.
- Emma.
- Sno-caps! Correct! Diapers down, hands up.
With a record-breaking number, six diapers, Zach is the winner! Yeah, Zach.
- Sorry.
- That's okay.
There'll be other diaper derbies, probably not my own.
Okay.
So I'll just have to struggle on, I guess.
All right, I have a little something that's gonna make this chocolate frown turn upside down.
All right, Mary Pat, may I have the floor? Of course.
All right, if I could have everybody's attention.
Tornado.
We have a little something special planned.
Zach, tornado.
Why do you just keep saying "tornado"? Oh, right.
This is just a little audio-visual presentation that Zach and I put together.
What the hell is this? - You told me to score it.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, Em, where did you get that? Oh, you're the spittin' image of your mother.
Yeah.
She would have been really proud.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, my God! Whose butt is that? Show me that juicy ass.
What are you gonna put up there for daddy? What about this biscuit can? - Oh, no.
- Yeah, put that up there.
Okay, what's happening? I think Bruce's laptop is overriding mine from the basement.
Well, fix it.
Just turn it off! What you going to put up there for me, daddy? Let me show you, sweet mommy.
Let me show you.
Bruce! - Maggie! - Oh! Yeah, honey, I'm working on the crib right now.
We have to turn this off! We have to turn this off! Bruce! Bruce! What who is munichmuncher69? Who's what? The woman on your screen.
What is happening? I don't know.
She just I don't know who that is! - Why are you down here? - Give me one of these! Okay.
Okay, okay.
- You know I'm down here! - You have a boner right now! A big boner! Ohh! At best, it's a semi! I don't have a boner right now! Should I take out the can? - Oh, God! - Ooh! I'm sorry! Please don't look.
Can't unsee that.
Zach! Tornado! Tornado! Maggie.
Mags.
Who is it? It's your old pal, Emma.
How's it going in there, buddy? Pretty terrible.
Yeah? Okay, you maybe want to come out and talk? Can you come in? Um okay.
I just I don't know how much space there really is.
I know.
I'm huge! No, no, no, no.
We're gonna figure it out.
Okay, now I'm coming in.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Do you want to tell me what happened downstairs? Okay.
Well, apparently, there is a whole online community of women who specialize in putting things up their butts.
And are they all German? Well, they're not all German, but I think he prefers German, you know, 'cause of their husky nature.
And does he see them in person? No.
I don't know why I'm surprised, you know? It's been it's been really bad for a while.
Mags, why didn't you tell me? It's embarrassing.
I mean, you're over there in Shanghai hobnobbing with Asian high rollers, trading, I don't know, diamonds for briefcases of money.
What are you talking about? I don't know, that's what happened in Skyfall.
My life is nothing like Skyfall, okay? Daniel Craig is not my boyfriend.
I don't even have a boyfriend.
I don't have any friends, except my assistant Ryuchi who only goes to karaoke with me 'cause he has to, and because I do a phenomenal Mandarin version of "I don't think you're ready for this jelly.
" It's pretty depressing.
I just wanted to make a right choice.
You did.
You made the right choice for then.
All right, you were, what, like, 25? Yeah.
You know, you lost both of your parents.
You wanted someone safe.
What am I gonna do now? I don't know, but I know we're gonna figure it out.
Okay? Okay.
- Can I have a hug? - Okay.
- Okay, um - Mm-hmm? I don't want to alarm you, but there is a slight rustling sound behind me.
Oh, yeah, there's a raccoon family's been nesting What are you talking about? - No, no, no.
- Then why are we in here? Wait, don't worry.
They're friendly.
We just only need to work if they make this sound - Aah! Oh, my God! - Okay, okay, okay.
I felt its whiskers! Oh, my God, the meeting.
The meeting.
Oh, my God.
Okay, I need a blazer.
Where is a blazer? Oh! Ow! Laptop, laptop, laptop.
Just chill out! Shut up! Okay.
This is the right time to strike with a casino complex of this magnitude.
I'm so sorry to have been delayed.
There was some, um, technical difficulties.
Ah, Emma, excellent.
So what we're looking at, Mr.
Zhang, is oops.
Know what? Just I'm sorry, hold on for one second.
I just oop.
Oh, God.
You're slipping away on me here.
Okay, but we're back.
All right, here we go.
With 805 slot machines, 507 50 Is it 557 gaming tables? That doesn't sound right.
I mean, I would like to double-check if If I may interrupt.
Yes, please.
Thank you.
When my father started this company in the early '20s, he was a shoe salesman.
Uh-huh.
No, not even a shoe salesman.
He just made soles.
Oh.
And now this company's a multibillion-dollar corporation.
And I am responsible for the integrity of my father's name.
Come on! Is she sleeping? I'm sorry.
What happened? I'm sorry.
I have never been so disrespected in my life! Oh, I Mr.
Zhang, please, my apologies.
- This deal is off.
- Oh, no, no, no.
Sir, I sir, please, I can explain.
It was just a technical snafu.
And, Mr.
Zhang, please don't leave the room.
- Ugh! - What was that? I have never seen a display like that from you ever.
Graham, I'm so sorry.
My friend's husband left her, and I I honestly don't care.
Just get yourself on a plane to Shanghai and fix this now! She's literally falling apart.
Emma, if you are not on that plane, you are gone, understood? You mind telling me what you're doing here, sir? - Oh, my God! - Emma? Mark, what are you doing creeping around? Mrs.
Johanssen from next door called and said there was a broad-shouldered, blazered man sitting on Maggie's porch.
Can you please get the flashlight out of my face? Oh, sorry, yeah.
What are you doing out here at 3:00 am in the morning? I messed up something huge at work, and I got to wake up Maggie and tell her that I have to leave like And I can't stay like I promised.
And I'm just I am feeling like like the worst person.
- Well, you kind of are.
- I'm sorry? If that happened to my best friend, I'd stay.
Okay, I don't think you understand.
I've been working for this company for the past 11 years.
They can't give you a couple days off? No, you know what? It's a little more complicated, okay, than spending every Saturday night trying to figure out who threw the lawn furniture into the Riveras' pool.
I cracked that case with the help of a very small piece of red t-shirt fabric that belonged to Joffrey Davidson.
His parents were getting a divorce, and he was acting out.
So don't tell me about complicated.
Okay, whatever.
Oh, that's Okay, you know what? Do whatever you want like you always have.
You gonna go munch on a doughnut? Get that out of my face.
I'll call the real police.
Guess who's gonna answer the phone.
- Who? - Hello? Me.
I can't.
I just can't.
Hey.
- Mornin', sleepyhead.
- Mornin'.
Pop a squat.
I'm firing up the flapjacks.
I figured it out.
I asked my boss for a couple personal days, and he said, "no.
" So you know what I said? "Screw him," right? I'm quitting my job.
I'm gonna move in here and help you take care of the baby.
Hey, great.
The more the merrier.
What's Bruce doing here? Well, I mean, he came over early to get some stuff, but then he started crying and saying how he couldn't live without me.
And then I was like, "I'm about to have his baby," you know? "I should try and work it out.
" Is he gonna stop putting stuff up his butt? Of course.
I mean, he'll probably have to work on it.
Work on it? Okay, I don't have a lot of choices.
You do have a choice.
I'll move here.
I will help you.
- That is not an option.
- Yes, it is! You couldn't even drive down Main Street without having a nervous breakdown.
Oh, my God! So I'll just take the side streets.
What is your point? Hey, can you just take it down a notch, okay? Because there's raccoons in there that will charge at any minute.
Good! You know what? They're in there screwing their little raccoon brains out.
They need to know that sometimes life doesn't always work out as planned.
And when that happens, you got to be brave and let your friend help you.
But my raccoon friend likes to jump trash can to trash can.
Okay, when have I ever jumped trash cans on you? Well, that's what you do when stuff gets hard.
You did it with Mark, you did it with your mom.
And stuff is gonna get hard here, Rm.
The sh is literally gonna hit the fan.
And you're not gonna be able to Skype in or call Ryuchi, and then you're gonna bail, and I'm gonna be all alone.
You really think I would do that to you? All right, you know, fine.
If that's what you really think, then I have a plane to catch.
I hope you enjoy life with your new best friend, munichmuncher what is it? - 69.
- 69! He finished it.
Babe? Ilka, please try to keep it together.
I'm gonna keep sending you checks for that demo you're recording, all right? You don't have to do that, daddy.
Don't skimp on a sound engineer.
Promise me that you'll get someone really solid.
If it costs a few more bucks, I'll send it to you.
You're paying for her demo? No, no, no.
You know what is really confusing to me is why you would put together the whole nursery when you are clearly in love with another woman.
What are you talking about? I didn't put the nursery together.
Who oh, my God.
Emma.
Emma did it.
That's a real friend.
- And you can't find that - Okay.
Please shut your face and get out of my house! What did we do? Your driver has an expired registration.
And you have to do this right now? It's the one thing I have to do right now, you know, because my job's so uncomplicated.
Mark, should I call for backup? Is that man bothering you? Mrs.
Johanssen, it's Emma Carter, okay? You know me.
I'm a woman.
Mrs.
Johanssen, everything's fine.
No, you know what? It's not fine.
I get it, all right? I'm I'm a bad person, I screw up, so I am officially sorry, Mark.
I'm sorry to anyone else I may have hurt.
Pakistani man, for whatever I may have done to you.
We have no trouble.
- Okay, thank you.
- Are you kidding me? - Thank you, Mark.
- What is going on? I asked him to pull you over - because I need to talk to you.
- Oh, okay.
All right, what? I love you, and I want you to stay here and help me raise this baby.
Oh, this is different.
Okay, what about all that stuff you said about how I can't handle it? I don't know if you can handle it.
I honestly don't know if I can handle it, but I do know that you are the only one that I want with me.
Okay? Sorry I'm late.
Oh.
Oh, man.
You'd think I'd have more cardiovascular strength, what, with all the trumpeting I've been doing.
Emma, what do you say? Will you stay with me in my stupid trash can? Yes.
Yes, I will stay with you in your stupid trash can.
Kiss her.
Kiss her! It's not like that.
We're just very good friends.
I don't care.
After all that, somebody has to kiss.
Well, nobody's gonna be kissing, so - Yeah.
- Oh, my - Okay, Zach! - Zach! Give the people what they want.
People definitely didn't want that.
Get outta there! Get outta there! We did it! We did it! Ahhhh.
I did it! Go get a drink.
I can't drink.
Oh, get yourself some milk.
