- Friend zone. Friend zone.

- Don't say I didn't warn you.

- Friend zone.

- Here you go.

- Oh, Nick, thank you so much.

You are such a great friend.

The friend zone is for losers only.

Please unload your friend

and get on with your life.

- Well, wish me luck.

- Good luck.

Thanks for everything, Nick.

Suzanne, can I talk to you

real quick?

Sure.

You know, what we got going... I mean,

we don't really have something...

I don't really know what to call this...

- Hang on.

... but it seems kind of...

This is Suzanne.

Yes, Frank.

Just one sec.

Well, when did that happen?

Well, actually,

I'm already at the airport.

- Hey. You can't park here.

- I know.

My friend's making a call.

She'll be off in a second.

- Gonna be an expensive call.

- I'm right here.

That's why you're getting a ticket.

They're expecting to spend

New Year's Eve with you.

Oh, don't... Don't even go there

with me, Frank.

You haven't spent five minutes

with your kids since Labor Day.

Frank, you know what?

I am so sick of this.

L... Hello? Hello?

Know what?

That lady's got enough problems.

All right, let's move it along.

- I'm not going.

- What's the matter?

My ex is sick, and he's not

gonna pick up the kids.

- What about the babysitter?

- She's leaving for Las Vegas...

...with her church group.

- Oh, no.

You know,

my kids miss him so much...

...and all he ever does is pull the rug

out right from under them.

I'm gonna lose my job.

What if I bring them?

I couldn't ask you to do that.

That's too much.

Why not?

Look, it's no big deal. Serious.

- Really?

- Positive.

- Are you sure?

- I wanna help you on this.

Nick, this is huge.

Thank you so much.

You are a lifesaver.

Okay, so I'll get the three tickets, and

as soon as you guys land, call me.

Oh, no, I meant that I'll drop them off

at the airport.

Oh, no. You can't expect the kids

to travel alone, Nick.

Kevin's got asthma. That recycled air

in the plane... I mean, yuck.

But it'd be fine. Kids fly all the time.

It's nothing.

I'll make sure they get on the plane.

They'll get milk and cookies, little

plastic wings, get to meet the pilot.

You know, it'd be real cool.

Especially with me sitting next to them

making sure everything is all right.

Oh, how could I ever repay you?

Obviously, you don't care

that she's using you.

But ask yourself this:

Would you trust a woman

who'd trust you with her kids?

I'm tempted to call Child Services

right now.

Uncle Nick loves kids.

Big lummox.

Might as well just put myself on eBay.

Hello. I'm here to pick up the kids.

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

What you wasting your time

with Miss Suzanne for?

- Excuse me?
