All Relative Page #5

I just did

some major renovations.

The original contractor

was a crook.

He used the wrong materials.

He cut a lot of corners.

Part of the foundation

was sinking

Four years after it was done.

That's not good.

No, I was so busy

with work at the firm,

I didn't even know what

was happening in my own home.

That's crazy.

- Hi!

- Hi!

Hi, sweetie! You're early.

I am? I thought I said 5:00.

- Really?

- I don't know.

Want some wine, hon?

Mom, are you okay?

Yeah. No.

No, I'm not okay.

I thi... I think I'm overheating.

Well, you were out there

for a long time.

That sun's a real killer.

- I'm so hot.

- I'll get you some water.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Stop fussing.

We're out of, um, bottles.

In the pantry.

Well, maybe you should go

lie down, huh?

No. Just go start the grill.

All right. Okay.

The f*** are you doing here?!

You said you were divorced!

What are you doing

with my daughter?

Oh, your daughter?

You mean "the one I was all bent

out of shape about at the bar"?

Oh, god.

- I found it.

- Hey!

Oh, mom. You look worse.

I'm just dehydrated.

Um, hey, I'm gonna go help

your dad with the grill.

No. No.

I want you right here.

I have so much to ask you about.

So, how'd you two meet?

Um, we were actually both

out bowling one night.

Oh.

You know, as someone

from an older generation,

I'm fascinated

by how dating works these days.

What do you mean?

Well, back in the days

of your grandparents,

Or even back when we met,

Things just moved a lot slower.

There was no internet,

no social media, no texting.

I remember being so nervous

when I picked up the phone

To ask your mother out

on our first date,

That I must have hung up

10 times

Before I actually dialed

at last.

Texting has got to be a lot

easier than that.

And, you know, e-Mailing...

let me tell you.

That has made coursework

so much easier.

Harry,

did you text or call first?

- You texted, remember?

- I texted?

I texted.

Yes. My mind's a sieve.

Must have been some other floozy

you were calling.

Oh, no.

I believe

that the best relationships

Start as friendships.

Yeah, dad.

I've heard this one before.

Well, I'll say it again.

It's what makes the relationship

I have with your mother

That much stronger.

So you two

are more like friends?

Of course we're friends.

So, it's platonic?

Well, like Phil so wisely said,

Um, you know,

the best relationships

Are... founded on friendship.

Oh.

So you two are just friends?

We're dating.

Wait, I'm... I'm confused.

Which... which is it?

Maren, I don't think we need

to label every little detail.

No, I don't see this

as every little detail.

I'd like to know what kind of
