that's fine.

This is-

this is my son Brendon.

Hey, Brendon.

I'm Bobby or Bob.

This is my wife, Jane,

boy Jared.

Say, Brendon,

how old are you?

Eight and three quarters.

Is that so?

Because this one

just turned nine

a few weeks back.

Is that right?

Uh...

We get that reaction

a lot.

He's just big for his age.

He's big-

Ha!

Well, if there's anything

we can do for you,

don't-

don't hesitate to ask.

No, no.

No, no, no, no,

not at all.

It was great to meet you,

Mark.

Good luck.

And come on, gang,

let's go.

We could bring them

some food.

I'm sure that Mark

and his family

have enough food, honey.

Not my salad, though.

Salad-

she's obsessed.

Uh...

I don't know.

Maybe.

You want to do a little

get-together?

Let the kids play.

We could get to know each other,

maybe dressed?

We'll see.

We'll see.

No.

Okay, good.

Come on, honey,

another time.

Baby, come on,

come on.

Good to meet you, Mark.

Honey?

Good to-

hey, hey, hey, come here.

No, Harris, back inside.

Come on.

Can you take him up?

Yeah.

Thank you.

See ya.

All right, yeah,

go upstairs.

Oh, wait.

Now, just hold on a second.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't mean to be-

I mean-

- No, no, no.

We don't want to-

- What time did you want

to come over?

No, no,

don't worry about it.

She's just-

she gets a thing in her-

- This afternoon.

Does that work for you?

We're free.

Would you like to

this afternoon?

Let's do this afternoon.

- Mark.

- Very nice to meet you.

I'll bring you

something healthy.

- Good.

- Something healthy.

But don't you put yourself out,

now, okay?

Okay"

- All right, Mark.

- Thank you, Bob.

Great to meet you,

you know?

Nice to meet you.

Good to meet

the neighbors.

- Enjoy the wood.

- Thank you.

Get a nice little fire going

there, huh?

It's so nice.

Oh, it's beautiful.

" No!

[laughs]

You have to stop.

Bye.

Who was that?

It was the neighbors.

Who was on the phone?

Oh, my sister.

She's back

on the east coast.

How is she?

Oh, same old.

She says hello.

Hello.

What neighbor?

The, uh...

the neighbors.

The Sakowskis.

Who?

The Sakowskis.

Well, what was so important

they had to wake us up?

They brought us

And you already said

Huh?

What was I supposed to say?

"I can't,

we're busy,"
