Give me a hug, oh, my God,

what the f*** happened to him?

- Two years happened.

- You already had your first kiss I bet?

Okay, he's only ten, so let's just...

- Oh, f***, I'm so...

- The language.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

Good to see you.

Oh, it's good to see you.

She looks good?

I think your butt got a little bigger.

How can you say that to me?

You're my daughter,

I can say whatever I want.

- No.

- Yeah.

- No.

- Yeah.

So Dad says you're working

on becoming a masseuse.

Oh, no, not anymore.

But I had this client. I think he thought

I was like a different kind of masseuse.

- Sh*t. Really?

- Yeah.

But you know what?

My line is totally coming together.

I have an investor all lined up

and they're just waiting on me,

so it's going to be so great to be here,

'cause I can focus on my designs

and draw every day and...

Speaking of which, did you ever wear

that dress I sent you for Christmas?

- Yeah.

- Did you look so money?

I looked so money.

- Alex, this is really f***ing weird.

- What?

That you sleep in their bedroom.

It's not that weird, I just...

it made the most sense.

So, what's happening with Dakota?

What do you mean?

I mean, have you told him

that his dad is a f***ing a**hole?

I'm not going to make Dakota upset

when we're just going to get back together.

You know what? You keep sh*t from kids...

He's ten. They get all f***ed up.

Thanks, Lily, but I can handle

my own ten year-old.

I know that. I wasn't saying

you weren't a good mom.

No, I know you weren't,

I know you weren't.

I am behind at work, so, I'm going to...

get to bed.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Where are you going to sleep?

- Right here.

It's going to be like old times.

Yeah.

Hey, Lee.

Yeah.

Okay.

Right.

Well, that's... perfect.

That's great.

Yeah, okay.

- I got the part.

- You got... you got...

- In the... in the play.

- You got Firs?

Yeah.

That's the greatest p... I'm...

Firs is the greatest part there is.

George? You said that you were going

to be here today,

so if you're not coming, can you just let me

know either way? Alright? Okay, thanks.

- Do you need help with those?

- What, you know how to do this?

No, but I'll figure it out.

Should you be drinking that?

It's just beer. It's like water.

Hey, Dad.

Hope you're having a good trip.

Miss you.

When you get back,

I have a surprise for you.

Not going to tell you

what it is right now.

You have to see it.

Alright? Call me back.

Hey, Friday.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, this is George, leave a message.

What the hell is going on, George?

You're not even going to text me back?

I can't believe you're doing this to us.

Dakota waited for you all day, George.
