Mama Cast
Bad news.
Yeah, if it's about being out of mini donuts, I'm aware, and i'm not happy.
No, you know how i'm supposed to show those model homes today? I've been talking about it for the last 2 weeks so i can finally prove myself to mr.
Kaufman.
My boss? Ok.
Anyway, i totally forgot.
We're supposed to meet with steve, our financial adviser.
Do you ever listen to me when i talk? Do you? You're really boring, i gotta tell you.
Doug, i really need you to listen to me right now.
All right, i'll give it a whirl.
Go.
I need you to take our tax refund check And sit with steve and talk about investments.
Wouldn't i be more useful doing something i'm good at, Like soda shopping or lying down? Come on.
I need you to take an interest in our finances.
Now, there's a bunch of investments here.
I'm sure you can find something you can get excited about, ok? Tell steve i'm sorry i couldn't make it.
Who's steve? Our financial guy.
I'm kidding.
I'm joking around.
You weren't joking, were you? No, i wasn't.
Oh, i'm sorry.
I'm supposed to be showing a model home.
No, this is it.
Come on in.
The kids and i are just watching the 40-Year-Old virgin.
It's raunchy, but doggone, it sure is funny.
Carrie, good, you're here.
Uh, mr.
Kaufman.
Who are these people? They're professional actors pretending to be a family.
Oh, ok.
Question answered.
It's called home staging.
When potential buyers see a family living in the house, It helps them envision themselves living here.
I gotta tell you, that sounds like a super weird idea.
It was mine.
Excuse me, carrie.
Hello.
Oh, damn it.
All right.
I'll take care of it.
It's bad news.
Our mom isn't showing up.
She just booked a c.
S.
I.

Well, single dad.
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with the breakdown of the american family? You know, we are really not here today, are we? Carrie You've gotta be the mom.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I am much better at selling.
Besides, i am way too young to be playing someone with kids that age.
I think you can get away with it.
Wealth building annuities.
That's stupid.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing? He's saving my place.
Hey, no back cutsies.
Everybody knows that.
Believe this guy? Unbelievable.

Doug, you threw away $3,000.
You told me to invest in something i'd be excited about.
Well, guess what? I'm excited.
Yeah, i bet you are excited.
How much of it did you eat already? None, ok? That's rule one in the ice cream game.
You don't get high on your own supply.
Oh, my god.
I think it's really gonna happen.
I'm actually gonna kill you this time.
Would you stop? I thought this out, believe me.

P.

I'm on top of it.
I looked at his books.
I saw his profit margin.
Huh? I got a list of all his suppliers.
It's gonna work.
Yes.
Really? Carrie, i'm telling you, You're gonna be proud of me.
I swear.
I don't know, maybe maybe this could be your thing.

Doing dishes It's a joy.
I know i'm not crazy.
I'm not.
But it's just that it's getting harder and harder Not to fall into this fantasy and- What are you doing? I'm kicking ass and taking names.
Doug, i am trying to talk to you here.
I'm happy in the model home, Happier than i am here.
I'm falling in love with my fake family.
Quick, get down! What is going on? I'm being stalked by mr.

And you guys are ok with this? I mean, you want her to be the mom and not me? Uh-Huh.
You were cool until you kind of went all nutbar.
Did i go nutbar, kenny? Really? Because you didn't think i went nutbar When i got that splinter out for you.
And you had no problem with the nutbar When i was doing your math homework.
I got a check minus minus.
