These next few weeks may be hard on Mom.

Well, I always do.

More?

Will you try harder?

Promise?

Of course I will.

- Thanks.

So why didn't Joseph invite me

to stay tonight

since you're going to be here?

Did you want to stay?

No, I can't sleep in this altitude.

Where's your new boyfriend?

I want to say good-bye.

- Really?

- I'm right here, darling girl.

Let go of me, you sexy minx.

We don't want everybody

to know, do we?

Muriel, it's a delight.

I should have known

Penny's mom would be a fox.

Stop it, please.

Mom? Mom?

I can't sit in the back. I'll get carsick.

Especially on these horrible roads

you've got here.

I know, Mom.

That's why I'm putting you in the front.

I'll probably get sick anyway.

Well, that's the spirit, Mom.

Here, you know,

that's why I gave you that Tigan,

to help with the carsickness.

I didn't take it.

I don't know what's in that stuff.

You know what's best for you, Mom.

Bye.

Jeff, thanks for sacrificing your sanity

for the good of the family.

No problem. I'll get her to the airport.

Sam, you got a lot to live up to.

Wait till you get to know my family.

- Say it? Say it?

- Bye, Ethan.

- Say "Poppy "

- Poppy

- Pee-Pee.

- We're trying!

That'll do. Love you.

- Bye, I love you.

- Bye.

I love you! See you soon!

- Bye-bye!

- Bye, Mom.

Bye!

You shouldn't have told

her we were staying.

Bye!

- Bye!

- Bye!

Bye-bye!

Have a wonderful lime!

Bye!

It was really nice, actually.

Everybody was in a good mood.

No, Penny didn't say anything.

Violet, no one was insulted.

Don't worry about it.

I told them it was important

for you to be at your thing. it's fine.

Russell?

No one will mistake him

for a rocket scientist.

Except for my grandmother, who loved him.

Kind of wish she'd marry him.

Okay.

Yeah, go ahead.

All right. I love you.

Hi.

Why didn't your wife come?

I'm not married. You're Carmen, right?

I'm Bryan. I'm Joseph and Beth's nephew.

So, what, you live here?

You take care of this place?

Caretaker a hard job?

My other two jobs are harder.

What's going on with your neck?

It's killing me.

- Maybe I can help.

- Are you a masseur?

No, I'm a surgeon.

Maybe you can help me slit my throat.

Wow, tough day.

Wait, let me get it. I got it.

All right, where to?

- Out there.

- Okay.

You guys really rocked. You didn't rock.

You were blue grassing. I'm sorry.

- Had a good time.
