You know, Ellis never called.

The pool looks really nice, Javier.

It's so blue.

Aren't you the chick

that threw the rock at Ellis?

Yeah. So what?

- Besides, Ellis was spying.

- Come on.

I need to feel like a mom again.

It's been so long since Ellis left.

I'm going to take Aubrey to the mall.

I'll pick you up some of those

boxer shorts you like.

Mmm. What about me?

We'll get you a new swimsuit.

That is so sick!

And Bennet, clean up that juice mess

before the ants come.

What do you mean,

you're leaving right now?

It's Thanksgiving!

Stop, right now.

You need to behave.

Why do you have to go?

You know what,

because I need to go.

Please! This isn't fair!

It's totally fair.

Because you're acting out.

This is totally fair, now I feel justified.

She's such a b*tch.

Tastes like ass.

You would know.

If your friend's sleeping over,

I don't want him touching anything

in the guest room.

I leave in two hours.

Don't touch anything.

The credit card is in the kitchen.

You can have Thanksgiving

at the Beckers'.

Fine.

At least you can do whatever you want

the whole weekend.

If she weren't so selfish, she would be

going to Paris on Monday instead.

My mom wrote the book on selfish.

F***.

- I'll call you later, okay?

- All right.

It's good to see you. You look tall.

I grew, I guess.

- You look different, too.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

Judy will be glad to know

that you think I look different.

She's been sort of

cultivating my new image.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

I forgot to show you my store

back there on the right.

I actually sold all 48 stores

to a furniture conglomerate.

They're changing the name to Adobe,

which I think is dumb, but...

What do you do now?

I still... I keep pretty busy.

Yeah, I read a lot.

Yeah.

A senator from Georgia lived

in this house for 30 years in the 1800s.

That's actually a portrait of him there.

Dog lover, I guess.

Listen, about Judy and me,

the reason I wanted you to visit...

I thought I smelled it in the car.

Have you been drinking?

Hey, guys.

Ellis, it's so nice to finally meet you.

You, too.

Whoa. You been hitting

the bottle today?

That's what I thought.

Why don't you bring your bag upstairs?

It's the first bedroom on the left,

and then you can meet us at the table.

You can eat off any lingering inebriation.

He'll be okay.

I don't share Judy's cavalier attitude

about your drinking.

I don't have a cavalier attitude.

Ellis, do you want some more stuffing?

Yes, ma'am.

Ellis, you can call me Judy.

You know, you're the one who's cavalier.

You're married again.

I'm gonna have a new brother or sister,

and you didn't even tell me.

Brother.

A new brother.
