AROUND HERE:

YOU KNOW THESE STREETS,

THESE SMILING FACES

AND HERE WE ARE.

AROUND HERE:

(clanging)

NICE. VERY SUBTLE. HELLO?

OH! THERE'S MY GIRL!

HI.

SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

OH! THAT'S A TIGHT ONE.

JEEZ, LOUISE. WHEN WAS

THE LAST TIME YOU ATE?

I'M GONNA MAKE YOU

A HAM SANDWICH.

ACTUALLY,

I'M NOT DOING MEAT.

WELL, I'M NOT ASKING YOU

TO DO IT.

(sighs)

IT'S CHILLY.

HOW ABOUT SOME TEA, THEN?

WHAT'S IN VOGUE

IN THE BIG CITY NOW?

CHAI? POMEGRANATE?

WE'VE GO A NICE, NEW GREEN GINGER.

YOU WANNA TRY THAT?

YEAH, SURE.

YOU KNOW, MOM,

ONCE THE NEW SAVE NOW OPENS,

YOU'LL HAVE OVER 50 KINDS OF TEA

TO CHOOSE FROM.

WHAT ON EARTH WOULD I NEED

50 KINDS OF TEA FOR?

I DON'T KNOW. OPTIONS, MAYBE.

(water running)

NO.

IF WE DON'T BUY OUR TEA

FROM THE CHANG FAMILY,

HOW WILL I KNOW IF THEIR SON

PASSED THE BAR:

OR THAT LYNN'S MOTHER PERFECTED

HER ALMOND COOKIE RECIPE?

(under breath)

IT'S CALLED TWITTER.

(indistinct conversations)

GREAT. THANKS.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE?

THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING

LATER?

IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS,

YES.

ARE YOU HERE ALONE,

OR DID YOU BRING SOME

OF THOSE LAWYERS WITH YOU?

BECAUSE I CAN SET EXTRA PLACES

AT THANKSGIVING IF YOU WANT.

THAT'S FUNNY, MOM.

WELL, I'LL TAKE MY DAUGHTER

ANY WAY I CAN GET HER.

YOU ARE STAYING FOR

THANKSGIVING, THOUGH, RIGHT?

(clanging)

COULD THAT THING BE

ANY MORE...

(door closes)

CARTER.

HEY.

(sighs)

YOU LOOK...

(claps hands)

YOU, TOO. YEAH.

(exhales)

HOW'S CHICAGO?

CRAZY.

BUSY. CRAZY BUSY.

I FORGOT SOMETHING BACK

AT THE JOB SITE. I...

OKAY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, THOUGH.

YOU, TOO.

(clanging)

YOU KNOW, THINGS DIDN'T WORK OU WITH HIM AND... TRISHA.

(door closes)

OH. WOW. THAT'S A SHAME.

AND HE TURNED ALL

HIS WOODWORKING:

INTO A CUSTOM CABINETRY

BUSINESS.

IT'S BACK-ORDERED

FOR OVER A YEAR.

YAY FOR CARTER.

(clears throat)

(door closes)

HEY, WE'RE HERE!

OH, MY GOSH.

LOOK HOW OLD YOU GOT.

AND SO DID YOU, JAKE.

OH, THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU,

MOUTH BREATHER.

MM-HMM.

OH! WELL, JUST THINK,

NOW THAT YOU'RE FINALLY HERE,

MOM CAN SHUT UP:

ABOUT HOW YOU NEVER VISIT.

OH, YEAH.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

MAYBE I'LL JUST ABANDON

EVERYTHING:

I'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR

AND MOVE RIGHT ON BACK

TO GOOD OLD STREETSVILLE.

HOORAY! THEN BY THIS TIME

NEXT YEAR,

YOU CAN BE A SINGLE,

DIVORCED MOTHER JUST LIKE ME.

MM, EXCELLENT.

IT'S SETTLED.

I HAVE AN IDEA I WANNA GE TO MY BUSINESS-SAVVY DAUGHTERS.

OH.

THIS IS FOR ME:

AND MY CONTEMPORARIES

WHO ARE GOING:

THROUGH THE CHANGE.

OKAY. INSTEAD OF HOT YOGA,

YOU HAVE THE A.C. CRANKED UP

TO 50,

AND YOU HAVE FANS BLOWING

LIKE A STORM.

I'M CALLING IT "FROZEN YOGA."

'CAUSE THOSE ZUMBA PEOPLE

HAVE MADE A FORTUNE,

AND I THINK IT'S A LOCK.
