And so, I had to call Graceland.

They were all freaking out.

Priscilla, Vern.

But I think I handled it. Maybe...

Jerry, you're out of town?

Yeah.

You don't remember, do you?

Remember?

My parents are flying in.

Oh, sh*t.

- They're gonna love you.

- Dinner.

Yes, I remember. 8:00.

I arrive at LAX at 6:00,

so I should be home by 7:00.

- Do you promise?

- Of course. Why?

I can hear it in your voice, baby.

You're back.

- I'm not back.

- Good.

Then come back home to me.

There's nothing I want more.

I miss you. I miss everything about you.

- You miss me?

- I miss your face.

And I miss that sweet, sweet ass.

Do you miss Elvis more?

Oh, wow..

E?

Hey. Where's E? He's not here.

I fell asleep.

I leave you with one thing, one thing.

We're the only two people

who know where he is.

I fell asleep. E!

Did you look in the dining room?

E!

- This is Ronnie.

- Ronnie, it's Jerry

- Hey, Jer.

- Are you with E?

- Yeah, I got him.

- Thank God for that.

He was hungry so we're heading over

to Stan's Original Donuts.

- Thank you, Ronnie.

- You're welcome, boss.

- Hey.

- Gentlemen.

Kepple Carpet is gonna charge

to just come in there and measure.

They gonna charge him for the appraisal.

They gonna charge him

just to even come out there.

Now I'm getting you... What?

Excuse me. Are you in line?

What it look like?

Looks like you in the way.

Like I said, two television stands.

Living room...

One original maple bar, please.

Original, my ass.

Where'd you get that necklace, daddy?

It's Elvis Aaron Presley.

I know who you are.

Well...

My boys, they had it made for me.

It has all their names on it, on this tree.

Tree of Life.

Sweet.

I got mine at a store.

Sweet.

I see you got some sweet rings there, too.

Yeah.

Before you go getting any ideas,

you should know that we aim to keep them.

Who's "we"?

Me and Lucille.

Got it?

You somethin' else, baby.

You all right, man.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Jerry. Sonny.

You gotta try one of these

original "my ass" maple bars.

Yeah. I think we should

head back to the hotel.

Just in case we get that phone call.

Two more maple bars, please.

Are you sure it's him?

I know it sounds crazy,

but he literally

just walked up to the gate.

- You wanna bring him in today?

- Yes.

- When?

- End of open hour.

Well, that's the President's nap time.

We understand that, sir, but...

All right, you got the letter?

Read it to me.

"Dear Mr. President.

"First, I would like

to introduce myself... "

Not in his goddamn voice.

Sorry.

"I am Elvis Presley and I admire you

"and have great respect for your office.

"I talked to Vice President Agnew

"in Palm Springs three weeks ago
