using' em that's the idiots.
[Gus] We won his fishin' contest, Joe.
Man, I can't believe it!

- he's the greatest, Joe.
- Dad, look. Are you
gonna wear your shorts?
- Yeah, they're my lucky shorts.
Baby, get my lucky shorts
too, okay?
You gotta be the one
you want to catch.
- Yeah, you can have that.
- Hey, keep packing, guys.
It's the hands, the hands.
Believe in your hands.

help the contest winners pack.
[Chattering]
[Woman #2]
Okay, everybody.
you're doing a goodjob.
Okay, everybody out now.
- Thanks. All right.
-' Cause me and Aunt Cookie wanna
say one thing to your fathers.
- Find mine, Tracey.
- All right, listen.
We know how important
this trip is to you. We really do.
- But I just gotta say this one thing.
- One thing.
- Thanksgiving' s on Thursday, you know?
- Thursday.
And call me silly,
but I'm worried...
that you're gonna end up
in the hospital or somethin'
like last year.
- Or in jail like you did
the year before.
- Yeah.
- Everything' s gonna be fine.
Yeah, this is gonna be good.
- Come on. Everything' s okay.
But here's the thing.
you've gone fishin' every year
since before we knew you,
and so far everything
has never been okay and fine.
And you've never been
as far away as Florida.
But that's why this trip is so nice.
that's why it's so important.
we're goin' to the Everglades.
that's the biggie, right, Joe?
- Yeah, the Everglades.
Hey, listen to this.
- Everglades, yeah.

tarpon, snook, pompano...
- Yeah, tarpon.
- Catch this.
- I know you'll love that.
If you two are not back
