-Do you girls remember your mother?

-Dad.

Of course we do.

No, l mean...

...l mean really remember her?

Remember her laugh?

How her hair smelled?

Just how full of life she was.

l remember Mom would make us all drive

to Big Bear just to touch the snow.

l remember she was great

at telling stories.

Especially about San Francisco.

lt'd be fun if we drove up

there some weekend.

What do you say?

-Thank you.

-Thanks, Daddy.

-Oh, here.

-Oh, it's on the house.

Oh! Thanks.

You know, l never liked the nuts.

l always just got them

on my sundae because...

...because your mother did.

l'm sorry.

You girls go ahead and finish up.

l'll meet you at home.

Come right away.

-Tess, you awake?

-You can't sleep either?

Thinking about Mom?

l miss her.

l miss her too.

l think about her every night.

Every day.

There's so much we never

got to talk about.

lf she were here,

she'd know how to help Dad.

-l wish she were here.

-Me too.

What if something happens to Dad?

What? Like he could die of sadness?

You've seen Jerry Springer.

lt happens.

Let's face it, maybe what Dad needs

to cheer him up...

...is a woman.

Sometimes l think you're the smart one.

You just figured that out?

l'm gonna get you.

SWF, 30s, n/s...

...lSO SM, B&B for R&M?

You need a code book to decipher this.

lt's easy, single, white female

in her 30s, non-smoker...

...seeks single male, brown hair,

brown eyes, for romance and monogamy.

-Wow, you're good.

-You have to read between the lines.

-Any time they compare--

-My fly girls. How's it going?

-Cody.

-Reading the personals? What's up?

Finding Dad a woman.

Easy. Get him a guitar.

Chicks dig musicians.

Our dad is a famous artist.

He's got enough groupies.

A smart and pretty woman.

lndependent, but still likes

to be taken care of.

You could sit

on an lnternet chat room.

Don't you watch the news?

That's creepy.

You go in for a chat, and you end up

stalked by psycho-people.com.

Dad won't go for it.

My dad's company got a billboard

on Sunset to advertise his CD.

Went platinum in one day.

Girls were mobbing him.

-l'm liking this.

-A personal ad on a billboard?

-The whole city would see it.

-Cody, you rock.

-lt's perfect.

-Maximum exposure.

We go in under cover of darkness.

Go, go, go!

Stop.

-Cool, pull out.

-Go, come on.

Stop, stop.

Stay right behind me.

all clear. Go, go, go.

-There's cars coming.

-Don't look down.

Camouflage, part two!

Easy, easy, easy. Take it back up!

Careful.

Wrong house.

The musician lives three doors down.

l'm looking for you, Dad.

Excuse me?

l realize it's unorthodox, just showing

up. But l'm no good with letters.

l can't write.
