All right, I'll let you know.

I'm looking out for you.

Be cool.

I'm gonna go see

your dad and your brothers now.

Unless you're too weird

with it, then we're out.

-I'm going in.

-And going out would be...

-Mistletoe.

-Done. Let's get out of here.

Brad, we're going in.

Let's go.

Son of a b*tch.

The TV stars actually came.

-Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas, Dad.

Merry Christmas.

Good to see you.

-Thanks for having us.

-Good to see you.

-Come on in.

-Okay.

Let's... Let's celebrate.

Okay. Sounds good.

That's a lot

of presents you sent.

You're trying

to outdo us?

The biggest

one is for you, Howard.

Yeah? What is it?

I'm not gonna tell you.

What, are you crazy?

-Bro.

-Hey, buddy.

Baby!

Kate, these are my brothers:

Denver and Dallas.

-Hi, nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

You must be Orlando's girl.

Orlando?

We're named after the cities

in which we're conceived.

I'm Denver, that's Dallas.

And this is Orlando.

Orlando?

My given name is Orlando.

But I changed it to Brad.

I'm Brad.

What?

Well, Merry Christmas

one and all.

-Ordeurs for anyone.

-Come on.

Who are you trying

to impress, Suze?

We also got beer in the back.

Ladies first.

Thank you so much.

What is this?

Is this cheese?

Yeah, spray.

Spray cheese from the famous

family of aerosol cheeses.

Give me a hand.

Here we go.

Do you have something

to say about my wife's cheese?

Hump it! Hump it!

I haven't seen

that in a while.

Shut it, soldier boy!

The spray cheese!

The spray cheese!

Bring it home, soldier boy.

God, honey. I'm so sorry

that you had to see that.

Let me

apologize for them.

If you wanna say "Mistletoe"

'cause it's too heavy, I get it.

I get it. Don't feel weird.

Need to get out, let me

know about your comfort zone.

That was weird.

Can't believe you didn't

tell me your name.

-What are you saying?

-l...

It's crazy.

We've been together for 3 years.

I don't know your name.

Isn't that odd?

No, it's not. I hated my name

so I changed it.

Don't say:
"My name used

to be a**hole, but it's Bob."

-Just:
"My name is Bob."

-Maybe to a stranger...

...but to somebody close?

You say your real name.

I don't want to get into

this now.

This is what I was

afraid would happen.

This is isn't us, it's them.

We're letting them in.

Your name isn't a**hole.

It's like your middle name.

Don't wanna be

blindsided again.

Very funny. Go ahead

and take a shot at me.

I have to deal

with those Neanderthals.

I gotta take it from you.

No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't

let them walk over you.

Kate, they're trained

USC fighters.

Know pressure

points on people.

You're twice their size.

They're semi-professional
