You will.

Hey, Franklin, we have to

hit the skins hard today.

My son's coming straight from

football practice to watch us.

Damn. And my carpal

tunnel acting up.

Drum it away, Franklin.

Drum it away.

Okay, men, let's hit it!

Step it up, boys.

Drum like thunder!

Now we're hittin' it.

Ladies!

We're in the spreadsheet

class next door,

and we can't hear

ourselves think.

So bring down the tippy-tappy

to a pitter-patter. You got it?

Sorry!

It won't happen again.

Wait.

We're in a drum circle class.

We shouldn't

have to keep it down.

Oh, yeah? I say you do.

So I'm gonna adjust

your volume control.

He done knocked

a hole in your drum.

What do you say? Your inner man

want to do something about it?

Huh? Does it?

No.

No, I'm sorry.

We'll keep it down.

Thought so.

Oh, God! You guys are gonna

"eyes wide shut" me, aren't you?

Dad! I'm connected.

I'm ready to shave.

Teach me. Teach me!

Go with your grandfather.

He can teach you

what you need to know.

So how did it go?

Did Ubuntu like it?

I'm sure he was...

What happened?

Some spreadsheet bullies

broke my drum,

and I didn't

do anything about it.

Well, restraint and pacifism

- are manly attributes...

- Don't, Helen!

Now, in a few years,

you'll need to learn

how to shave drunk.

Mo? Trish? What are

you guys doing here?

Sorry, Gerald. Kevin climbed up

your tree and won't come down.

And I'm not coming down

until Bliss takes me back!

Or Amber.

We've never seen him like this.

We don't know what to do.

We can't burn him out.

Can we?

Ubuntu!

You said I could have

as many girls as I wanted.

- Now I have none!

- You said that?

That's what grampa told me.

Right, grampa?

Damn straight.

Now, I may not know

everything about women,

but I do know that

that is dead wrong.

You should always treat women

with respect and as individuals.

Now come on down.

I'm not coming down!

My heart is broke

over Bliss... Or Amber.

Kevin, I know you think you're

angry, but you really aren't.

What you're feeling

is sad and rejected.

But those are scarier

feelings to let out,

aren't they?

Yes.

It's okay, Kevin.

I always tell Ubuntu that

it takes real courage to cry,

- especially for a man.

- Oh, God!

Go ahead. Let it out.

I want to come down.

I don't want to be alone.

I want to be with Bliss...

Or Amber.

Kevin, if you learn how to

make a girl feel special,

you will never need to

worry about being alone.

But you really do need to

decide between Amber or Bliss.

What? No.

I strongly suggest Amber.

Amber!

Wow, Gerald,

that was... Impressive.

Manly, even?

In a weird way, yes.

You know, we realize we have

our hands full with Kevin,
