The Cape

Previously on "Related" We wanted this baby, Ginnie.
Not enough.
Yes, we did.
Because if we didn't, it wouldn't hurt this much.
Rose is my ex-nothing, okay? We were never anything.
Exactly.
Whatever it was that I once felt for her, it's over, okay? It's gone, completely gone.
- You hate dogs.
- I love you.
We'll call you Ruth Bader Ginsberg II.
If you guys like it on the Cape, maybe you could stay longer.
Joe is always saying what a headache it is to run the deli these days.
"Let's retire.
" I think that's a wonderful idea.
I think Joe's gonna love it.
Tonight on "Related" Patrick's place is -- it is unbelievable.
How would you and Bob like to come up for the weekend? Are we gonna go on a trip to the Cape? - Ginnie? - We're going to Cape Cod.
Bob and I would be happy to take them back.
She doesn't like me, either, does she? Okay, they just don't like you for me.
And stop listening at the door! Renee and I have decided to move here permanently.
- What? - What? Oh, my god.
Oh, I'm gonna kill that Patrick.
What is that? Hmm? - What is that? - I don't know.
It's, like, a burglar, Jason.
Come on, go look.
What? No, I'm naked.
So what? I don't want to die naked.
The police take pictures.
The carpet is newly installed, and it has all of the original crown molding.
What -- there's somebody in the apartment.
- Do you have a bat? - That sounded like Trish.
Or a gun? And in here is the bedroom.
- What the hell, Trish? - What's going on? You can see it gets a lot of great sunlight in the morning.
Who are these people? Oh, don't worry about them.
They're on their way out.
Trish, can we talk to you for a minute? Oh, sure.
You'll learn this about me.
I always have time for my tenants.
Hey, why don't you guys go look at the kitchen? What the hell is going on here? You're showing my apartment? No, I'm showing my apartment that I sublet to you -- past tense.
- Really? - Yeah.
Isn't it subletted? Let-ted.
No, it's actually sublet.
Yeah.
Hmm, sounds weird to me.
I'm not gonna use it.
How did you not tell me that this apartment was subletted to you by Trish? Huh.
I thought you'd look better in the morning without makeup.
You know what? I -- No.
You're trying to get me off track.
You need to give Jason some kind of notice.
I suppose you're right.
You got 24 hours.
If I weren't naked right now, I'd kick your ass, Trish.
Lucky for me, you don't know how to keep your clothes on.
Ah! So what did you think of the kitchen? - I love the tile.
- Me too.
But just out of curiosity, does the apartment come with the -- With the ho? No.
Sadly, it doesn't.
What is it, Marjee? Do you ever have one of those days where your boyfriend gets kicked out of his apartment because it was owned by his ex-girlfriend, who also happens to be your ex-boss? Wow, who'd have thunk that stealing Trish's boyfriend and then her dog would come back to bite you in the ass? Hey.
In my defense I got nothing.
Yeah, you got nothing.
Okay, here's the situation.
Can Jason stay here for like a couple days, just until he finds another place? I don't -- no, Marjee, my place is so small.
Please.
He doesn't have anyplace to go, all right? And he's quiet.
He's so quiet.
And he'll be all really respectful of all your stuff.
He doesn't shed.
Please, just come on.
Let him stay.
Please? - I guess so.
- Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, but there's gonna have to be some ground rules.
Please, I don't listen to dad.
I'm not gonna listen to you.
Jason, hi.
Darling, don't you think that the wolf in her wants to live outside and be free to howl at the moon? She's not sleeping on the terrace tonight, Bob.
Can you at least train it not to watch me while I'm on the toilet, then? Who cares? I care.
I get shy, all right? Close the door.
I like to watch TV.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I want to talk to you, Gin.
I want to talk to you about sex.
Well, when a man and a woman love each other or when they've had way too much to drink -- Thank you, because I've forgotten.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
I do.
It's just -- I just haven't really felt like it.
I don't know, maybe it's hormones.
No, I get it.
I just -- What about if I cook a meal? We can have red wine.
We can put some music on.
I want you to know that it's gonna be all right.
That's really sweet.
It is, but -- Ginnie, we both know how awkward and strained it's been lately.
I just feel like this is a good way to move past it, you know? Hello? Hey, Ginnie, it's dad.
Hey, dad.
How's Cape Cod? It is amazing.
Patrick's place is -- it is unbelievable.
Oh, is that the ocean I hear? Oh, god, I'm so jealous.
Well, actually, honey, that's why I called.
Patrick said the "B" and "B" is pretty empty right now.
How would you and Bob like to come up for the weekend? Well, that sounds great, dad, but Bob and I -- we have so much to do this weekend.
- So, yeah, I just don't think it's -- - You don't think what? Well, dad wants us to come up to Cape Cod this weekend.
That's perfect -- sun, sea, the cape, romance, us.
Come on, give me the phone.
Give me the phone, Gin.
Joe can the dog come? The dog can come.
- Yeah, all right, mate.
Say good bye.
- Bye, dad.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye, Joe.
Are we -- are we gonna go on a little trip? Are we gonna go on a trip to the Cape? - Ginnie? - We're going to Cape Cod.
- I can come, too, can't I? - Yes.
Good.
Sorry I'm late.
I had a client who actually realized that he's not a woman trapped in a man's body.
Oh, good for him.
Not really.
He's an operation too late.
Ouch.
Yeah.
So, I'll spring for a cab to Ginnie's.
Oh, thanks.
Ann? Hey.
- Hey, Justine.
- Hi.
Hi.
- You remember Rose, right? - I do.
Hey.
- How are you? - I'm pregnant.
Four months.
Go ahead, feel.
Wow.
It's amazing how things change in four months.
Tell me about it.
I heard you and Danny got back together.
I knew you guys couldn't stay apart for long.
Oh, well, actually, Danny and I broke up.
No, you didn't.
Oh, yeah, we did.
Really? I'm pretty sure.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
We're still friends, and it was a pretty mutual thing.
Oh, well, that's good.
Well, I've got to run to a prenatal yoga class, but, uh, you should come have dinner with me and Henry sometime.
That sounds like fun.
- It was good to see you.
- Nice to see you, too.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Do you want to talk about it? I'm sorry.
I already dragged you guys through the whole me-and-Danny-break-up thing once this year.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not.
I don't want to do that again.
Okay.
Oh, and no mentioning this at Ginnie's, because she's got so much of her own stuff going on.
Yeah, okay.
I promise.
So, what is everyone doing this weekend? Well, I'm staying home.
I got a lot of work to do.
Me too.
You know, maybe I'll come over, and we can work together.
Jason and I are putting his stuff in storage.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Yeah.
Anyone gonna ask me what I'm doing? What are you doing this weekend, Ginnie? Well, thank you for asking.
Dad called and invited Bob and me to the Cape for the weekend.
Oh, and you want us to be jealous.
Yes, please.
Actually, I am kind of jealous.
That sounds nice.
Yeah, it kind of does.
Why weren't we invited? Dad loves me most.
But, also, it's good timing.
Bob and I had been talking about how we need to get out of this weird place that we're in, and then dad called.
I thought you guys were doing better.
Yeah -- it's just, you know, we really haven't connected since So you're gonna try to "reconnect" this weekend under the same roof as dad.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
That's hot.
You guys can call me Rosie O'Donnell from now on, 'cause I'm out.
You always win.
What's wrong with you? - Go fish or something.
- I know.
I'm, like, amazing.
Okay, where was I? Chloe had just stormed off.
Right -- so I'm sitting there with Gary, and I realize I love Joel.
I love Joel.
- No kidding.
- Can you pass me the cheetos? Wait a minute.
Did you guys know? Why didn't you tell me? Because, Rose, when the Hulk was in the picture, you probably wouldn't have believed us.
But Joel has a girlfriend.
This is a huge deal.
What do I do? Marjee, what to take that one? Gladly.
You suffer.
I don't want to suffer.
Rose, he has a girlfriend.
There's nothing else you can do.
Yeah, you have to act like you don't care, you know? Act like it doesn't hurt every time you see him, and then eventually you start to believe it.
The best thing to do is just stay away from him completely, Rose.
This seems so hard.
Yeah, that's how you suffer.
Here, let me.
Oh, thank -- Um, Marjee, I wanted to talk to you about something.
I think that you and Jason need to sign a business contract.
Yeah, why? Because you're not only boyfriend and girlfriend now, but you're entering into a business relationship, and you need to protect yourself.
From who? Clients, him, acts of god.
Oh, right.
Acts of god.
Yes.
Are there going to be locusts? Look, these are just a few provisions that will protect you against any indiscretions by your business partner.
Jason, my boyfriend.
Jason, your boyfriend.
Why do I need to be protected from my boyfriend? Well Oh my God, you don't like him.
No.
Do you believe this? My own sister doesn't like my boyfriend.
God, Ginnie.
I mean, the guy has no job, no apartment, and he cheated on his last girlfriend.
What's not to like? Oh, you don't like him, either? Actually -- Rose.
I was on the fence until Ann said all those things.
She makes a very good argument.
Thank you.
Marjee, do you really think that this could work? Considering your history -- I can't believe you guys have been talking about me behind my back like I'm Rose.
Hey! And Jason is awesome.
How can you not like Jason? "Like" is a strong word.
No, "love" is a strong word.
Marjee, we're just trying to protect you.
I don't get this.
I really don't.
Because, honestly, I have been nothing but nice to all of your boyfriends, always.
Like Henry Dinkin, the nursery-school love of yours -- the biter? I never once bit him back.
And you.
Lance the ice dancer? I knew he was gay.
I always knew he was gay, and I never told you.
Well, you could have told me and helped me out.
I had to find out the hard way.
Or the not-so-hard way.
I understand that we didn't start off so great.
That does not mean that we can't work out.
And for four months, I had to do this whole thing in secret.
So I would really appreciate it if I didn't have to go back underground.
We're just trying to be honest.
What is with the rule about being honest? What about just telling me what I want to hear, sometimes? - We really like him.
- Yeah.
Oh, you guys suck.
I am so glad you talked me into this.
Really? Yes, you were right.
This is just what we needed -- a weekend away, just the two of us.
Yeah, just the two of us and Ruth and Joe and Renee and Patrick and anybody else who happens to be staying here.
- It's a start.
- Yeah.
Come on.
Rose.
Hey, Joel.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Hey.
Will you get me a coffee? - What? - Get me a coffee.
He says he wants you to get him a coffee.
Personally, I think it's kind of a dick move.
It's my birthday.
Oh, well, happy birthday, Dick.
Uh, can I have one latte and a coffee, please? Hey.
Can I have a poppy-seed muffin, too? I love your muffins.
They're hot.
All right.
I'm sorry, but did you just tell Abraham that you liked his hot muffins? Yeah, just a little flirting.
We flirt all the time.
I think he's gonna ask me out soon.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
'Cause he doesn't seem like your type.
I don't really have a type.
Okay, but I'm pretty sure gay-braham does.
That's not nice.
That's how he introduces himself.
$7.
50.
Uh, yeah, here you go.
Thank you.
Bye.
Thanks, man.
Hey, you want to sit down for a minute? Uh, I have to go but -- Yeah, sure.
So, are you coming to my party tonight? What party? - Wow, okay, this is -- - Awkward? More like excruciating.
Don't sweat it.
Is Chloe throwing you a birthday party? Yeah, she sure is.
Yeah, well, if I were her, I wouldn't invite me, either.
Rose, come on.
I mean, I know that there's nothing between us.
You know that there's nothing between us.
Chloe just has to see us together, and she'll know -- There's nothing between us.
I get it.
So, Renee's brother was attacked by a badger? A badger? I always thought they were friendly animals.
Apparently, they can be quite vicious.
They're related to the wolverine.
Which is, in turn, related to the dog.
So when is Renee coming back? Well, if all goes well with the reattachment, he'll be out of the hospital on wednesday, and she should be home that night.
Just makes you shudder.
So! What do you think of the place? It's lovely.
It really is.
It's like a little piece of paradise but brisker.
Yeah, Patrick's done a lovely job, hasn't he? And the best part is, it's only four hours away from the city.
I know.
I can't believe it.
It's a whole different world.
We are so gonna come out here anytime we can.
Great.
Well, you know, I'm really glad to hear you say those nice things.
It makes it easier to tell you this.
Um Renee and I have decided to move here permanently.
- What? - Good for you guys.
What? No, no.
Dad, it's too damp here.
What about your arthritis? - I don't have arthritis.
- Yet.
What's the problem here, Ginnie? You just said you love the place.
Well, I was lying.
I'm a lawyer.
That's what I do.
Honey, this was such a hard decision to make.
Dad, you're saying you're going to leave New York? What about the deli? - I'm selling it.
- What? All right, listen.
You got to understand.
I got up at 4:00 every morning for over 30 years to slice meat.
I don't want to do it anymore.
You're gonna sell the deli and the house that we grew up in? That was the plan.
Ginnie, I smell like pimento loaf.
It's not a good thing.
You're used to it.
You don't smell it anymore.
I do.
It's not the best.
Dad, why can't you just use this place as a vacation home? Because I need more than just a vacation from the deli.
Honey, come on.
Up here, I can fish.
I can play golf.
And, besides, Patrick asked me if I would manage the place.
I could cook breakfast in the morning.
I can fix whatever needs fixing.
I love that kind of stuff.
Well, we need you a lot more than this place does.
All right, look.
The reason I asked you up here before your sisters was because I thought, as the oldest, you would be mature enough to understand why I was doing this and that you might be able to ease the other girls into the idea.
Well, I can't.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
Before you get on the phone with your sisters and start a panic, will you think about it for the weekend? Fine.
Thank you.
And to be safe, would you mind handing over your phone? Oh, dad.
Okay.
Thank you.
Well, this conversation is giving me a headache.
I'm gonna go lie down.
You do know she's going upstairs to use the phone? There's no phones in the bedroom and the one at the front desk is locked.
Damn it! Come in.
Hey, Rose.
Don't worry.
I'm not coming to the party.
I guess we've just gotten rid of all the niceties.
Sorry.
You want to sit? No, I'm fine.
Okay.
But you are here about the party, right? Oh, yeah.
Like I said, I'm not coming.
You have to.
And why is that? Because Joel wants you to.
- Yeah, but you don't.
- I know.
But I'm not gonna be the one that takes away his precious little Rose.
So just be there.
Wow.
Now I really want to go.
Look, I talked to Joel, and he said he's totally cool with where everything is and you're cool with where everything is and I'm trying to be cool with where everything is.
So just come.
Please.
Fine.
Good.
Okay.
See ya.
Bye.
Gin? Can I have a minute? If you think we're having sex right now, you're out of your mind.
Give me some bloody credit, will you? I just wanted to talk about what just happened down there.
I don't want to talk about.
Why not? Because, Bob, you just -- you wouldn't understand.
Try me.
Because I'm angry.
I can't believe he did this.
He brings us up here saying we're gonna have a relaxing vacation, then he drops this bomb on me.
And now I'm supposed to sell it to my sisters? Unh-unh.
No way.
I'm not doing it.
I'm bringing them in.
He said he didn't want you to do that.
I have to.
I need them.
We have to be a united front on this.
It seems like he really wants to do this, Ginnie.
He doesn't really want to do this.
And I'll tell you who I blame.
I blame that Renee and Patrick.
That's why she's not here, 'cause she's afraid to face me.
There's no badger accident.
Oh, come on, Ginnie.
You can't fight something that is bound to happen anyway.
- You have to be pragmatic.
- You want pragmatic? Bob, who do you think calms me down every time you and I get into a fight? Your dad? Exactly.
So who's gonna calm me down now if he's not around? Did you ever think about that? Me.
Really? You're gonna calm me down? Okay, Bob, here's your shot.
Calm me down.
Go ahead, try.
Try and calm me down.
All right.
C-calm down, Ginnie.
Everything's gonna be all right.
No, it's not, Bob.
There is a gas station two miles down the road, all right? You -- Take the keys.
There's probably a pay-phone box.
Thank you.
See? I calmed you down.
What's up, Rose? Playing a little drinking game.
See Joel and Chloe over there? Every time they kiss, I take a drink.
Oh, look, wait.
There they go again.
Dude, I'm in.
Oh, Ginnie.
I decided this place is dangerous.
It's like "The Shining.
" People come here, and never leave.
Okay.
Um, look, about your dad -- I don't want to talk about it.
Oh, all right.
- How do you like your room? - It's lovely.
A couple was murdered there.
What? Oh, my god.
No, I was kidding.
I was going for the whole "Shining" thing.
Yeah, that's funny.
Okay, so I know I said that we weren't gonna talk about it, but F.
Y.
I.
, I blame you and Renee.
Okay.
I know you said we're not gonna talk about it, but just so you know, this was your dad's decision.
He really likes it here.
Of course.
Everyone likes vacation spots.
It doesn't just have to be that.
He's like a new person.
Well, you know what? I like the old person.
How do you know what he likes? You don't even know him.
I know that he agonized about leaving you guys, and I also know you're being really selfish.
Excuse me? Look, I'm not working against you and neither is my mom.
As a matter of fact, she suggested that he bring all four of you up here to break the news.
Which is why I was bringing you your phone.
I think you should call your sisters.
Thank you.
Don't use the elevator.
It bleeds.
Don't go in there.
Oh, god, Marjee.
I told you to use matches.
I put them right-- No, that's not what I mean.
- Oh, occupied! - Yeah! No, sorry! I'm sorry! What the hell? I told you not to go in.
Oh.
I can't use the bathroom in my own house? What is he even doing here? He's taking a shower.
No, I -- okay, you know what I mean.
You said he could move in.
No, I said, "I guess so.
" "I guess so" means "yes.
" "I guess so" means you put me in an awkward position where I couldn't say "no.
" No, that's not what it means.
Besides, didn't you hear my tone? You know my tones.
What am I, a dolphin? We said last night that we didn't like him.
So why would you put him in that position? Why would you put me in that position? Because I already told him that he could move in, because you already told me he could move in.
Where was he supposed to go? I don't know -- anywhere else but here.
It's cramped.
Is it safe? We should talk.
What? I love you, too.
Sorry.
Okay, look.
This is a phone chain.
Dad and Renee are moving to Cape Cod.
What? They can't do that.
Yeah, well, that's why I need you up here A.
S.
A.
P.
I'm on my way.
Okay, call Marjee.
Yeah, I know what a phone chain is.
Oh, no, it's not that she doesn't want you here, okay? It's more like she doesn't want you here.
I don't understand the difference.
I know.
It's 'cause you were in the bathroom.
You couldn't hear the tones.
What? What?! It's a phone chain.
Call Rose.
We got to go to Cape Cod.
Dad thinks he's moving there.
Oh, I'm gonna kill that Patrick.
You know what builds character? Suffering.
Oh, and sacrifice.
Sacrifice builds character.
It defines you.
I'm not following you.
Like Joan of Arc or Michelle Kwan or you know who else? Michelle Kwan.
Yeah.
You know what? I'm not gonna try and sleep with you anymore.
Oh, shh.
Speaking.
Rose, we're picking you up.
We got to go to Cape Cod.
I knew you were gonna say that.
I'm gonna get my skates.
Rose, focus.
Dad is moving to Cape Cod.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I know.
I'm gonna make Patrick wish he never found his mother.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Okay, Rose, get ready.
We are picking you up in an hour, all right? And get me a beer.
- Preferably domestic.
- Okay, beer, mm-hmm.
Hey, I finally get a chance to talk to you.
I got to go.
What's the matter? My dad's moving.
I got to go.
Okay.
Well, you want me to at least walk you out? Oh, Joel, you're always walking me out.
Are you okay? No.
Joel? Yeah? Joel? Yeah? Oh, my god, Joel.
I'm not good at suffering.
Did I tell you what I did? Yes, Rose.
You told us when we picked you up.
And then you told us again when you forgot your jacket and we had to go back.
I kissed Joel.
And now you told us on the Henry Hudson parkway.
I kissed Joel.
Was there any tongue? I don't know.
I mean, I lost control of my lips.
I may have lost control of my tongue, too.
Okay, look, dad may be moving to Cape Cod forever.
But please, Rose, tell us again the one about how you kissed Joel.
Yes, I love that story.
Can't get enough.
- Come on, you guys.
- What? You were supposed to suffer in silence.
I mean, honestly, I don't know why we give you advice when you just do the exact opposite.
Yeah.
Chloe saw it.
I'm never going back.
Can I move in with you? No! Wow.
Answer it quicker, why don't you? Well, apparently, it's too cramped.
I'm sorry.
You weren't supposed to hear all that.
Um, okay.
Look, it was late, and I just tripped over your stuff.
And then I saw you half-naked, and so I got upset, you know? And when I said that I didn't like you, what I meant was that -- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You don't like me? I guess you didn't hear that part.
- What part did you hear? - That it was cramped.
But you don't like me? She kissed Joel.
- I did.
- Yeah.
You knew Ann didn't like me and you didn't tell me? I thought it would hurt your feelings.
And you'd be right.
See? Okay, do you guys need a minute alone? Yeah, that would be nice.
Where would you like me to drop you off? Okay, can we just talk about this when we get there, please? Good idea.
Okay? Fine.
You know what? I think there was tongue.
You! This is all your fault! I'm gonna kick your ass.
Okay, hey, hey, hey.
Easy, easy.
I've got coffee.
I don't want your coffee.
Marjee, Marjee, no.
Really, it's okay.
He's been great.
Okay, good.
I actually do want some coffee.
So where's dad? I sent him off to play an early round of golf with Bob so we can talk strategy.
I didn't know Bob played golf.
Well, he doesn't, so we have awhile.
Since you got some time, why don't I show you to your rooms? You could take a shower, maybe have a nap? Oh, that sounds great.
Wow.
Check out those views, huh? I hate to say it, but this place is great.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, it's the ocean.
Big deal.
- Well, hi, Jason.
- Hi.
Thank you so much for bringing the girls, but Bob and I would be happy to take them back.
She doesn't like me either, does she? You have to go potty? Yeah, okay, we're gonna -- I'll see you later.
See ya.
I think I'll take a shower, then go back to the city.
I'm asking you to please stay.
Why? Give me one good reason.
Because I just want you here, okay? Your sisters hate me.
No.
No, hate is totally the wrong word.
- Well, how would you describe it? - I'd describe it as not liking you.
Uh, Marjee, Jason, you guys can have this room, if you like.
Thank you.
That would be wonderful.
Shall we, Jason? I think you'll have, um, everything -- I am not staying here.
Okay, look.
It's not that they don't like you, okay? They just don't like you for me.
And stop listening at the door! Sorry! So, um, I thought I'd put one of you right here next door.
Okay.
Well, you should have all the towels you need.
We splurged on some really high thread counts.
Oh, shh.
The walls are thin.
I think we can hear them.
Oh, so this is what we're doing.
You know what I think? I think you're out to prove something to them at my expense.
Oh, really? What? You tell me.
Nothing! I'm not trying to prove anything! Then why are you forcing me on them? Did you bring me up here to try to make them like me? Kind of.
I've got news for you.
It's not working.
Does anyone feel guilty that we're listening in? - Not really.
- No.
Okay.
All right, Jason, hear my words.
Please.
I don't care what my sisters think.
- Yes, she does.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't! - Marjee! Fine, fine, I do, okay? I knew it.
I told you.
She totally does.
But here's the thing -- right now, what really matters is what I think.
And I think that they're wrong about us, and I know that they're wrong about you, Jason.
And I really don't feel the need to prove that because I know it.
And the other reason why you're here is because I need you.
Thank you.
Sure.
We're terrible.
Maybe he's not that bad.
He seems pretty likeable to me.
Yeah, me, too.
You guys don't think I'm a bad person 'cause I still want him to move out? - Oh, no.
- No, I totally get that.
So are we okay? Yeah, we're okay.
I'm sorry that I put you in that position, really.
I knew she didn't like you.
Ann it wasn't fair to you, and it wasn't fair to her.
Are you listening, Ann? Apology accepted.
Okay, we have about a half an hour before dad gets back to figure this out.
Rose, you're the baby.
We're gonna use that.
You got to cry early and often.
- Oh, but -- - Early and often.
Oh, I could remind him of all the things he's going to miss -- sunday night dinners, us just dropping by.
You can't just stop by Cape Cod.
I mean, it's four hours and two bridges.
I'm just gonna tell him point-blank -- if he's gone, I'm gonna wind up in jail.
That's true.
Or we just tell him how much we love him, and we can't imagine not having him in our lives every day.
Ooh, I got it.
Bob and I are having problems with our marriage and that I don't feel comfortable with him being so far away.
That's awful.
I love it.
Yes, yes, the marriage-on-the-rocks threat.
Great, Ginnie.
Oh, my god.
We're awful.
What? What are we doing? - We're trying to keep dad.
- Exactly.
We're acting like a bunch of manipulative 12-year-olds, guys.
How selfish can we be? This is the man who took care of us by himself for 20 years and put us all through college and then watched us move out and move on.
I mean, and look at this place.
It is beautiful.
How could we take that away from him? You're right.
We're total bitches, guys.
I'm gonna miss him.
Yeah, me, too.
Well, I see you brought in the troops.
I was afraid of that.
Me, too.
Good luck.
- Dad -- - No, listen.
You know, I watched every one of you girls grow up and leave my house.
And when each one of you went away to college, a little piece of my heart went with you.
But you know what? I survived, because I knew you needed to go.
Now it's my turn.
We understand.
You do? Yeah.
Ginnie already explained it all to us.
She did? Well, isn't that what you wanted me to do? Indeed it was.
Thank you.
Listen, darling, it's actually not such a long drive, you know? If we leave early enough in the morning, we get one of those radar detectors, we'd be down here in a couple of hours.
I'm sure you'll get to see your dad a lot.
You just like to play golf.
They let me drive the golf cart.
So listen, I hope you guys will come back sometime soon.
It's a really great place when you're not dealing with all the family issues.
I can't believe we didn't get our weekend.
Bob, I know.
I'm sorry.
It's just -- everything with my dad going on, I just didn't think.
So who's going with who? Actually, I'd like to go with Marjee and Jason, if that's okay.
Mmm yeah, okay.
Wow, you really made me sweat that out there for a minute.
Well, looks like I'm going with you guys.
Well, actually, I was thinking, um, we'd love to take you up on that offer and stay another night.
Absolutely.
Oh.
Weekend's not over.
Looks like you're going with them, Rose.
- Okay.
Bye.
- See ya.
All right.
- Bye, daddy.
- See ya.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
So this is what it's gonna be like every time we see you, isn't it? We'll get used to it.
I know.
- I love you, dad.
- I love you, too, honey.
- Okay.
- Drive safe, okay? - Okay.
- I'll see you soon.
- Okay.
- Good.
