bring on the virtual.

Hey, how bad has it been?

Really, scale of one to 10.

You really wanna know?

Since Mom died,

it's been about a solid nine.

You know what's always

there though, always?

I'm never good

enough for my dad.

Well, then you wouldn't

wanna live with us.

Why?

Because it wouldn't be

any different.

Hey, who is that?

Oh, no.

What?

The golf pro.

Your dad has a golf pro?

No, that's what my

mom used to call him.

That's Owen.

She hated him.

What's he doing here?

So?

So, are you ready

to do this?

You need to confirm.

Lunch at Bea's,

Nice work.

Yeah. It's amazing the way

this whole thing just

suddenly turned around, huh?

Tell me about it. I mean, for

years they rejected every proposal.

Yeah, it's the recession.

I'm telling you.

It softened them up a bit.

Everybody's hurting right now.

Well, it could be.

Might be something else.

Like what?

Who knows?

So many variables.

Tomorrow, we gotta ask

the tough questions.

Which we will.

All right,

and if the offer is right?

Then we close this deal

and become giants among men!

You still taking that

testosterone supplement, right?

Day and night, yeah.

You wanna come in?

No, no, I'm good.

I'm good. I got stuff to do.

Give my best to Kate.

Okay.

All right?

All right.

Will catch you tomorrow.

Right.

It's good, man.

Be positive.

Yeah.

So Owen's

part of this now?

Well, yes,

as a matter of fact.

But I thought

you promised Mom

that you're never

gonna work with him again.

That was a long time ago.

Things change.

Yep, they sure have.

Mom's gone,

you're remarried

and I seem to be the only one

who cares about anything she said.

Hey, hey, hey. Nikki.

Honey, slow down.

What's wrong?

Did seeing Owen make you

think about your mother?

I don't need him to

help me think about her.

I think about her

every single day.

I'm gonna go

check on her.

What just happened?

She's 17.

She misses her mom.

Wanna go for a walk?

Yeah, it'll help.

I don't understand why he'd

go back and work with Owen

when my mom specifically

asked him not to.

I don't know why

you care so much.

You know, Nik,

I remember you telling me

that your mom specifically

asked you to do something, too.

What?

You told me that she asked

you to take care of your dad.

Whoa! Whose side

are you on?

I'm on yours.

Come on, you know that.

I'm just also on

the side of your family.

Take it from me.

You got a pretty good one.

Ugh! Stop being

so mature.

Okay, last you'll see of it, I promise.

Let's go have some fun.

Do you think

we should turn back?

I really don't want to bump

into that old drunk guy.

Not without a cross and

some holy water, anyway.
