ls there a

reason I'm moving? No.

Jill, if you'd like, you could sit here.

I'd be happy to move.

Oh, that's okay. You're fine.

If you want to... If you...

Do you want to sit here?

I don't know.

Okay, you just sit in my chair.

How's that?

There you go.

All right, thank you.

Gary, is that you?

Yes, it is.

Look how handsome you are.

Thank you.

It's so nice to see you.

Look at this leaf.

Look at this.

You have it taped on you?

That's so cute. Yes.

Why did he do that?

He likes tape.

Hey. Sofie, is that you,

or is that you?

Good to see you, Erin.

Good to see you, Jill.

How was your flight?

Oh, the house looks amazing.

You got a new chandelier?

Yeah, yeah.

I loved the old one.

SO,

how's every bodys

Gobble-Gobble Day'?

Great. Excellent.

By the way, Jill,

this is Otto. Otto.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

He's homeless, right?

He seems clean,

but you should put

one of those toilet seat

protectors underneath him

to make sure he doesn't

ruin the chair.

Are you whispering with

a bullhorn or something'?

Everybody hears you.

No, they can't,

Mr. Hearing Expert.

So...

Pass that down, Daddy.

I'm allowed out here

once a year,

so I tend to miss things.

What's going on? Anything new'?

Well, Sofie just got her

green belt in karate.

How come I didn't

know about this?

I didn't even know she did karate.

What... I mean,

I feel like I'm in the

Twilight Zone right now.

I'm like Jimmy Stewart

at the end of that movie,

the one where... They...

They're in Pottersville.

What... What is that...

That movie called?

It's a Wonderful Life?

No, no, with Jimmy Stewart.

The... The one where he meets

the angel and he's mad.

It's a Wonderful Life.

Why do you keep saying that?

No, the one where

he falls in the pool

and he sings Buffalo Gals.

He gets all the money

at the end,

and he finds out that his

life really is wonderful.

Star Wars.

They play it every Christmas.

You must have saw it before

Jack made you convert.

What? What are you

doing right now?

Your brother didn't

make me do anything, Jill.

Everyone has to be

like Jack over here.

Even poor Gary.

What?

What does that mean?

You made him switch

from being Indian.

What is wrong with you?

We adopted him when

he was 10 days old.

This is all he knows.

Did you ever think maybe

he tapes things to himself

'cause he doesn't

feel connected?

You know, to his real parents'?

That was very smart.

I just thought of that.

Isn't it? That was interesting.

Aunt Jill? Yes, sweetheart.

Yes, Sofie.

Do you and Daddy

have twin powers?

What's this?

What is twin powers?

It's this thing we saw

on 60 Minutes.

Some twins have strange powers,
