Yeah, me, too. It'sjust...

I don't know, it's too bad.

What is?

It's just too bad they have to elope.

What? No, no! Absolutely not.

Well, Trey doesn't have a choice, Mom.

I mean, unless you and Dad

will show up at the same wedding.

I'll elope with them.

Mom, if you go, it's not an elopement.

- It's a destination wedding.

- That's right.

And, plus, Dad has to go and Sondra.

No,no,no,no!

The Cuntessa is not coming

to San Martin.

Melissa? Will you grab that penlight

in the kitchen drawer for me?

He's losing his mind. Tie it to yourself.

She usually calms down

in 10 to 15 seconds.

Thanks, Gary.

Found it. Sorry.

You know what?

I'll go to a wedding with your father.

YOU Will?

As soon as he pays me

that $485,000 he owes me

for my share of the lake house.

Larry Ellis was waterskiing there

last weekend

and he saw a light on.

Is your father using it?

You know he's not allowed to use it.

Mom, no one's been there in 20 years.

Because he's renting it! He's renting it!

Anything he earns on that house,

I get half.

That's in the settlement agreement.

That's how that works.

You know your father's refusing to put it

on the marketjust to spite me?

That means your father

is stealing from your mother.

That must really bother you.

- I don't...

- How does it not bother you?

No, it doesn't seem to.

Please tell me

you are not your father's son!

What?

Hey.

So here's a bit of news.

Kieko called me.

Yeah?

Yeah. She asked me to be

a bridesmaid. Straighten your back.

I didn't even know

they were getting married.

Yeah, I was going to tell you about that.

Trey and Kieko have been together,

what, four months?

Yeah, something like that.

And we've been together how long?

Well, that's kind of apples and oranges,

if you think about it.

It's four years.

Four years. And I don't even have

a key to your apartment.

Look, I've been patient. Really.

But how long do you expect me to wait?

- Oh, my God.

- I totally had you!

- You did. Yeah.

- I had you for a minute.

Jesus.

I'm really excited.

I think it's going to be great.

All right, get up. All right, everybody!

Gloves on, hands up.

They should be $6,

because they are fresh.

l-ley-

l-ley-

Your mom called.

Okay, thanks.

Four times.

Right.

And your dad called, too. Twice.

And we're off.

Carter, it's Mom. I've been thinking,

what about a surprise wedding for Trey?

Your father doesn't even

have to know about it.

Carter, listen, bottom line,

if I'm paying she can't come.

She's been suckling at my teat

for way too long.

Good news, Carter,

Gary has a friend with a boat.

It's a barge. It is big!

I'm not saying I'm gonna do it,

but if this wedding thing goes south,
