It was great! Really kicking.

But, E.B., shouldn't you be

rehearsing your speech?

You're about to be

crowned the Easter Bunny

in front of

Uh, yeah, about that.

Yes?

LOOK, Dad,

ever since I was

yea big, it's been,

"The Easter Bunny

wouldn't do that" and

"The Easter Bunny

has to be perfect. "

But I'm not perfect.

I know that, Son.

But you'll get there, eventually.

But I'm...

Listen.

You want me to be this.

But maybe I'm not this.

Just maybe, maybe I'm this.

A Sock?

Ugh. "

Yeah, that's right.

I might be a metaphorical sock.

I might not be

a good enough egg,

but I might be

the best sock ever.

I might not cut it

delivering Easter baskets,

but I might be

great at something else.

Oh, the drums!

Why, I think that's fine.

I think it's really nice that you have

a hobby. Everyone should have a hobby.

It's not a hobby, Dad.

I want to drum in a band.

I want to see the world.

E.B., the Easter

Bunny sees the world.

Every country in one night,

making people of the world happy.

Really, Dad?

The whole world?

What about China?

No!

Look, it's candy, woman!

Madam, please.

All right. So,

we haven't cracked China yet.

But, for all those that do

believe, you will be there.

No, Dad. I don't want

to be the Easter Bunny.

Now, listen to me.

Four thousand years of

tradition doesn't end

just because one selfish bunny

doesn't feel like doing it.

Look. Dad...

No, E.B., you look!

You are going to

be the Easter Bunny!

Now you need to get it together,

get rid of these drums,

and get your

priorities straight!

I'll see you out there!

No, I don't think you will.

Destination.

Where dreams come true.

In-flight snack preference.

Any baggage?

Just emotional.

I'm sorry, Dad.

OW!

I did it.

Hollywood.

Right. First order of business,

find a place to stay.

Perfect.

Fred, wait, wait, wait! Fred.

Did you know

about this, Sam?

Oh, uh...

You did.

Okay, look.

The rules of this

intervention state

that I am not

supposed to help you, okay?

So you can't tell anyone

what I'm about to do.

No! I'm not going to

take money from you.

Wasn't going to

give you money.

We can call it a loan.

Fred, look,

I got you a job interview

tomorrow at my friend's company.

I'm a little

slammed tomorrow.

I know you're not.

I'm pretty busy.

No.

Look, it's an

entry-level position.

Entry-level?

At a video game company!

Okay. That's kind of cool.

I know.

All right, look, if it means

that much to you, I'll swing by.

No, Fred.

You don't "swing by. " Okay?

You shower, you shave, and you show up.

The three "shs. "

Come on, Fred. You've

got to start your life.

Think of this as a reboot.
