and not have it."

Oh, yeah, she did say that.

I remember that. That was cool.

Are you going bald?

Huh? No, no, no, no.

You're getting fatter, and

your hair doesn't realize

that it needs

to cover more face.

Okay. Where'd you put the car?

You really had

to bring your bird?

Yeah,

she's my best friend.

Anyways, Jill, I was thinking...

Yeah?

The house is going

to be very crowded

'cause we got the kids,

and all the guests

are coming by,

and blah, blah, blah.

So, there's this new hotel,

a Hilton that they

just built down...

But I want to spend time

with Sofie and Gary.

Why, do you not want me

to stay with you?

No, no, no, no. Of course

I want you to stay with us.

I was just...

I was just saying.

Okay, I'll stay with you, then.

It's too bad, 'cause the hotel

was starting to sound fun.

Why are you doing that?

Why do you sigh so loud?

I just really, really

love your shoes.

You are so weird.

Isn't he weird, Poopsie?

Where were you?

Poopsie gets it.

Yeah. Poopsie really gets it.

She always did get it.

I... It's just...

She always loved getting it.

And then your dad and I

went to the soup kitchen,

and they gave us Otto

to bring to Thanksgiving

dinner this year.

Thanks again for having me.

It's very nice.

Are you going to eat

dinner with us tonight'?

Yes, he is, honey.

And what about tomorrow night'?

Tomorrow, Otto's going

to go back home...

Less.

Sorry.

Uh, Sofia, show Otto

your karate moves.

You know, why don't...

Why don't you go wake up Jill?

What? It's 5:
30.

She's here. That's

the important thing.

It counts as a day.

So what? She's sleeping. Jack...

All right, I'll go check on Jill.

Thank you.

It's okay, Otto.

It's just her...

Jill.

Wake up.

Okay, stay sleeping

Jet lag.

I have a gun! Oh, my God!

You see, I live alone.

Poopsie's trained

to watch out for me.

Don't sneak up

like that, all right'?

Where were you?

I don't...

Come downstairs.

Uh, the food's ready.

Can you just lay down

with me for five minutes?

I'm not laying down

with you. No.

Come on. I just want

some twin time.

I'm a grown man.

I'm not laying next to you.

Just have Poopsie lay with you.

I... I don't know.

Aw. All right.

I'll take a bath, and I'll meet

you downstairs in an hour.

Good looking out, Poopsie.

Don't forget your sweat shadow.

What?

All right, just take your

bath and all that stuff,

and then burn those sheets.

Hey, GUYS

Jill! You look amazing.

Aw. Macy's, Marshalls.

Hey, where am I sitting?

What do you mean?

'Cause, usually,

I sit next to you.

So all of a sudden, I'm...

I'm not going to sit here?

Oh, uh, would you...

I thought you could

sit down here.

I always sit next to Jack.
