- Okay, here we go.
Which president negotiated The Louisiana purchase? - Let me stop you right there.
I don't care.
Because mom's coming, and I'm too excited.
- Who is Thomas Jefferson? - You don't need to put it in the form of a question, mom.
And since I'm asking Ellie, you don't even need To put it in the form of an answer.
Okay, honey, come on.
You have a history test this week.
- Oh, give her a break.
I'm excited, too.
I love Jill.
She's pretty, she's smart, she's an excellent mother.
It's like you married me, Sean.
Ellie, your father married his mother.

- Aah! - Aah! - Oh, my God, she's here! - Why aren't you ever that happy to see me? - Because you never go away.
- Mom! - Oh, my baby! Oh, I missed you so much.
Oh, and who's this fine, sexy man? - Oh, I'm Sean, but there's something You should know about me.
- No, no.
Don't tell me until I'm pregnant.
- Oh.
- That's so funny.
I love it when you guys Joke about the fraudulent miracle of my creation.
- Oh, Lorna, you always look So beautiful and chic.
- And this is why I never took you out of the will.
- Hey, seriously, can you give my mom some tips? All she ever wears is a purple track suit.
- That's a shame.
Track suits are like wheelchairs Once they get you in one, you'll never get out.
- So, can you stay for dinner? - Oh, I'd love to, but the man whose senate campaign I'm running has a big fundraiser tonight.
And you know what that means? - Free shrimp? - Free shrimp.
- Your mom scarfs them down like a manatee.
- Hey, Ellie, you want to come with me? I can introduce you to Hillary Clinton.
- Oh, my God, Hillary Clinton? - And free shrimp.
- Oh, can I go? Wait, who do I ask? Wait, mom said I could go, so I'll ask mom.
Mom, can I go? - Uh, yes.
And then you can stay with me at the Drake.
We'll get sundaes and use way too many towels And do our nails in the jacuzzi tub.
- I'm staying at the Drake this weekend with Lee.
Only I'll be getting nailed in the jacuzzi tub.
- Please, save some of the details for the paramedics.
- So what do you say, honey? You and me.
It'll be so much fun.
Oh, if it's okay with your father.
- Yeah, before you decide, I am making my signature taco pie tonight.
The corn chip crust is never as crispy the next day, so You'll want to factor that in.
- Yeah, I'll go get my stuff.
- Pack your flashcards.
Memorizing historical facts is very important, Even though we have Google, so it's not.
- All those years I was the one Nagging Ellie about her homework.
I gotta say, it's nice to parachute in And be the fun parent for a change.
Hey, maybe I'll take Ellie And return her to you with chicken pox.
- All right.
So you got over the gay thing, But that you can't let go? - I can laugh at it now.
You know why? Because I'm the fun one.
- Oh.
- This is excellent taco pie.
If I had to make one criticism, It's that the crust is too mushy.
- That's because the beef is so moist.
I said this would happen with the corn chips, And it did! - So Jill showed Ellie a great time.
- Because when Ellie chose to live with me, We agreed she could change her mind If she missed her mom.
Now Jill's back, and she's all fun, And I'm just Joey flashcards.
- Mm.
- Sean, Ellie's not going to want to go back To New York with Jill.
Right, hunter? - She might.
I mean, look at the girl's choices.
New York or evanston the city that always sleeps.
- Oh, come on, guys.
Evanston's great.
The new chipotle's beautiful.
- Sean.
My father is in town And demands to have a word with us.
Come, come.
- Hello, Lee.
I understand you're going to see my mom.
- Yes.
Daddy has asked that we stay out of his way While he visits your prenatal stomping grounds.
Right, father? - That's right.
I don't want you bozos screwing it up this time.
I've got my pills, and I've been giving myself B-12 shots for stamina and mental acuity.
So after I pleasure your mom, We'll be able to discuss what happened.
- I don't think anyone would object If you kept some details to yourself.
But I promise I won't get in your way.
Between our parents, you and I could end up as brothers, Which might be Kind of nifty.
- Why do you always have to make things weird? - Oh.
- Why the long face, broseph? - My ex-wife's in town, And she's showing Ellie the time of her life.
I mean, she met Bono last night.
- Bono Bono.
Help me out.
Oh, that the poor magician Who got attacked by his lions? - Could not be more someone else.
But if I don't find a way to compete with Jill, She'll lure Ellie back to New York, And I'll be left all alone with crappy taco pie And a sexually satisfied mother.
- Isn't Ellie the daughter that likes volleyball? - I only have one daughter.
- Oh.
What happened to Allison? - There never was an Allison.
- I think you're mistaken, but go on.
- So, Ellie, the only daughter I ever had, Loves volleyball.
Why? - Would Ellie, clearly your favorite, Like to meet beach volleyball gold medalist Misty may-treanor? - Misty may-treanor? She's the reason my only daughter, Ellie, Got into volleyball.
- I've been in talks with her To handle her product line, she's in town.
I'm sure I could arrange a meeting this afternoon.
How would you like that, bro-diddly? - Oh, my God, misty may-treanor.
Ellie's going to freak out.
I'll be the fun one again.
Hey, thanks, Eleanor bro-sevelt.
- Love it.
- Someone very special.
I don't want to oversell it, But compared to this, your wedding day will suck.
- Jill, it's so great to see you! - Oh, Lizzie.
- Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Running a senate campaign that's so exciting.
My big challenge this morning was writing ad copy For a raincoat and trying to think Of a different word for yellow.
- Actually, my job is pretty exciting.
My boss has a real vision for this country.
Except for when he's drinking, and then it's a double vision.
- Ah-ah-ahem! - Oh, uh, Ladies, enough girl talk Because, Ellie, you are about to meet Misty may Or may-not-be-here.
- There was a slight hitch.
She said, "absolutely not.
" But don't worry.
You're about to meet someone Possibly even better and definitely very different.
- Wow.
It's - What the hell? - It's beloved local weatherman Dan drizzle And his good friend sleety Pete.
- Eh! - He was all I could get on short notice.
He usually does children's hospitals, So if he calls Ellie "a brave little girl," Just go with it.
- Hey, Ellie.
Today's forecast is sunny with Smiles and a chance of full remission! - Hey, isn't this great, honey? I'll bet Hillary Clinton can't talk Without moving her lips.
I didn't ask her when we were discussing world hunger.
- Well, she can't, so - Sleety Pete, what are you doing here? Is somebody sick? From this nice man and his domestic partner, But can I talk to you for a moment? - Yes.
Uh-oh! - So what's going on? You know Ellie's 15, right? - Okay, look.
I got it in my head that you might Want to take Ellie with you back to New York.
It's crazy, right? Crazy, I know.
- It's not that crazy.
- Yes, it is.
- Sean, things are going really well for me.
I've taken Larry from nowhere to leading in the polls, And when I get him elected, I'll be able to do any campaign I want.
Ellie will have access To all kinds of amazing people.
Plus, New York would be such an exciting place For her to live.
- Evanston is exciting.
We have a new chipotle.
People are throwing around the word "flagship.
" - Do you hear you? - Would I say things like that if I could hear them? I just don't want to lose Ellie.
- I know, because you'd miss her.
But I miss her, too, Sean.
Every day.
- But if you take her, then I'll miss her every day, And it'll be worse because it'll be happening to me.
Does she even want to go? - I haven't asked her yet.
But I think I've got a pretty good shot After don dribble and tragic Pete.
- It's Dan drizzle, and he's a hero! So, what, this is a contest now To see who gets our daughter? - You're the one turning it into a contest.
- She lived with you for 12 years.
I've only had her for eight months.
My time's not up with her yet.
So stop trying to buy her off with your glamorous life.
- You think I'm trying to buy her off? Wow.
- No.
You wow.
- That's it? That's your whole argument? "Chipotle" and "you wow"? - No.
This region is rich in culture And natural resources.
The largest body of water in the entire world.
- I believe that's the pacific ocean.
- I meant the largest lake.
- It's not the largest lake.
- I meant of the Great Lakes.
- That would be lake superior.
- Oh, so you know more things than me.
- Than "I.
" - Well, "I" not giving up Ellie! - Neither am me! - Guys, you're missing it.
Sleety Pete is pretending to eat Ellie's hair.
It's beyond classic.
- I'm gonna go see that, And not just because I'm losing this argument.
I don't want that filthy puppet touching my daughter's hair.

We have to make him like you.
So one more time What is his wife's name? - Could I please just have One of those little baby vodkas? - Close.
It's Gina.
And you promised no more drinking.
