I got them for everybody.

Jimmy Horton included.

Now, would that be considered...

No.

You are good.

That's why you married me.

Come on. Give us a cheer.

Hey, Jimmy!

I really loved that article.

It was really beautiful.

I was, like, in tears.

So, he went back to Somalia, right?

Yeah.

Do you still keep in contact with him?

Yeah, you know,

we tweet and tweet and tweet.

Stop. This is for you.

I'll see you later, okay?

Thanks. Bye.

-Bye, Michelle.

-See you! Call me!

-What do you got there?

-A cupcake.

Let me see that.

Hey!

No eating and driving.

Do the drill.

Adjust seat, check mirrors.

Don't run anybody over.

Good idea.

Man, this is excellent. You should have

brought one for yourself.

I did, actually.

So, how was school today?

Same old, same old. How was work?

Same old, same old. Hey, you know,

I caught the end of practice.

You're looking a little slow out there.

Slow?

Yeah, Frankie was all over you.

You have to know where he is at all

times. You gotta feel him behind you.

Just get that body's radar going.

Where do I get that installed?

Becks are born with it.

Slow down. You're doing 40 in a 30.

Everybody does 40.

Yeah, well, not you, pal.

Good choice.

Who's it from?

Monet?

It's Monet. You know, like the artist?

-Oh! Tattoo girl?

-Yeah.

Well, she's an artist

with a cupcake, I'll tell you that.

She works part time at the Baby Cakes,

so they give her the day-olds.

Hey, you know, Coach T says the scout

from UVA is coming.

-Great. When?

-Homecoming.

Sweet. No pressure, huh?

-Make a right. Right! Right here.

-All right. Okay.

What was that about?

That was about being on your toes.

-Huh? -When you're driving, you know.

It's reaction time.

Sometimes you just

got to think fast, okay?

So that was a test.

That's right. That was a test.

'Cause you never know when something's

gonna pop out at you, okay?

-All right.

-All right. Stop sign.

Did you read Jesse's story

in the school paper?

No.

I'll show it to you.

It's about a Somalian exchange student.

It's really touching.

I think he has a gift.

Hey, you know, Rick called.

He wanted to know what

the company was donating for the event.

I told him we were kind of

feeling the crunch this year.

No, no. Dad got us a four-wheeler.

Honey, we can't afford a four-wheeler.

Brian Paul needed his driveway fixed,

so he traded.

-Thank you, Pop.

-Mmm-hmm.

I'll take it to the hotel tomorrow.

Then Jeanette and I are gonna go over

to Ava Andersson's.

Yeah?

I thought we'd bring her some flowers,

a casserole, something.

Well, that's nice of you.

-Yeah. Do you want to...

-No. No.

-You sure?

-Yeah, no, no, no. You go.

I figured you didn't... Yeah.
