Couples Retreat Page #2

Synopsis: Dave and Ronnie, Jason and Cynthia, and Joey and Lucy are close. The group used to include Shane and Jennifer, but they divorced and she's gone. Jason and Cynthia announce that their marriage is in trouble, and they beg their friends (and Shane's young girlfriend) to join them on a couples' retreat, at the package rate, on a tropical island. The others reluctantly agree, planning to play while Jason and Cynthia work on their marriage with an island psychologist. To everyone's surprise, the package is inflexible: each couple must participate in the couples' exercises. Soon fault lines appear in all four relationships. What's in store for each couple?

You know, I got him on the other line.

You can tell him yourself. Hold on.

I don't want to... I don't...

Hello, Jason?

Yeah. I got Joey on the line.

Hey, Joey, I've left you

a bunch of voice mail messages

all morning. Where are you?

Listen, I can't make it.

Well, we haven't even

set a time yet, you know.

If you'd listened to the voice mail,

you'd know that this

is just a feeler call

to check your temperature on schedule.

I'm not sitting through another

slide show about ball cancer.

Listen, pal, I'm alive today because

of early detection, all right?

Is this about ball cancer?

"Cause I..

- I'm not into that, either.

I'm gonna wrap this up right now.

and if you two refuse to check

your scrotums for hardened nodules,

I certainly can't force you, can l?

Look, I gotta go, all right? Bye+

Dave, are you still there? Hello, Dave?

Kevin! Kevin, that's not a real toilet!

Sweetheart, he's pissing in

the middle of the whole thing!

Buddy, I gotta go.

But Cynthia and I are willing to

offer you a life-changing opportunity.

Jason, you don't understand.

My son is literally peeing

right in the middle of the

store. I gotta go. Go, go, go.

Okay, but that's not

a real toilet there.

It looks like a real toilet to me.

Yeah, it looks real. Okay.

That's a whole other conversation.

You feel better? Yep.

Okay, let's button those up.

You want me to get those for you?

Yep.

There's not a lot to

say. Sorry about that.

Mom, Dad's home.

Hi, hon.

Hey, how was your day?

Usual. Yours?

Good.

Okay, love you. Bye.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait

a second, wait a second.

You're going out? Yeah, I'm going out.

What are... What are you wearing?

Shorts. Shorts?

That's... That's a Maxi Pad.

Dad, they're designer shorts.

They're French. Goodbye.

Could you just come over

here? Sit down for a second.

I don't have time for this.

Come here. Sit down. No, I'm...

I'm late and they're waiting for me.

I know,

but you still live in my house

for another few months, okay?

Yeah, I know. Now when

you dress like that,

you send signals.

You know what kind of

guy you attract like that?

You attract the guy with the...

With his pants around

his ass at the mall.

No, I don't! Yes, you do.

Sweetheart, he is right.

Lacey, I'm saying you're beautiful.

You're smart. You're a good person.

You just got accepted into Stanford.

We're so proud of you.

I'm just saying know your value, okay?

And if a guy doesn't see

that, he doesn't deserve you.

No, and you don't want to

be with those guys, honey.

Okay, then I'll go change.

Thank you.

And could you change the

pictures on your Facebook page?

Dad.

It's just 'cause we love you.
