even married, we're not even engaged

You know what I mean

That's why you invited me here?

To tell me this?

I thought you invited me to meet your parents

I didn't really actually invite you

Excuse me, but you

invited me to your parents' house

And then you called and said

we were coming to Mexico instead

When I said we were going to Mexico,

I didn't actually mean you

What?!

It was just supposed to be me

and my parents for my dad's birthday

And you got so excited;

I didn't know how to break it to you

Laurie, what's happened to you?

Six months at home and you've mutated

From a fun-loving free spirit

into... Nancy Reagan

Look, I just want stability in my life, Charlie

I need to be with someone

who really knows who they are

And knows what they want in life

You know what this is all about? Your folks

They don't like me, and it's

affecting the way that you feel about me

But just wait, Laurie

My being here will turn

out to be a blessing in disguise

I'm not giving up on you, Laurie

- Is my hair all right?

- I am open-minded

It's just that he's such a dip!

Do you think he's a dip?

I think he's really cute

And he seems funny, and he seems smart

I mean, what do you want for Laurie?

I want what I was when I was his age

- I was charismatic, ambitious...

- That's right

- I was clearly headed to the top

- Clearly, darling

The very, very top

I mean, we can be honest with

each other when we're alone, can't we?

Oh, I think that's a good idea, Wooly

I've always wanted to be...

Oh, I forgot something,

will you go down and get us a table?

- What's the problem?

- No problem, no problem

I just forgot something and

I'll be there in just a second

Okay? I'm running

Senorita, no, no, it's for decoration,

not for sale, sorry

I better go check on Bear

- Ah, Mrs. Bennett

- There you are, Bear

We ordered you an enchilada

- Bear, are you all right?

- Mrs. Bennett?

Jesus! Ma, are you okay?

- Would you, would you like to... to sit?

- Mom, what are you doing?

Good God, Bear, don't tell

me you've been drinking again

Now, remember what the

doctor said, take nice deep breaths

- I have some pills if you're not feeling well

- Yeah, why don't you take some?

It's, it's, it's... all right, folks

She's just a little hungry, she's

hungry and her blood sugar's dropped

Are you hungry, Bear?

- Mom, for God's sake?

- Would you like an enchilada?

It's all right, folks! No harm done

They're just happy to see each other

You little son of a b*tch, I should have known

Wake up, Qaddafi,

we're gonna play College Bowl

For ten points of your life...

Hey Stevie, you got any notes

from last night? I don't need them

Hey!
