It's Labor Day weekend, Dad.

I didn't take a Friday off

until I turned 50.

Well...

Does she need any help?

No, she said she had it

under control.

Ooh.

Ha-ha.

Where's everyone else?

Don't you have another, uh,

friend coming?

Blake and her guest

are arriving later.

Ooh.

I can't believe that you're

friends with Blake Curtis.

Why would she want to be friends

with a writer on her show?

Oh, shut up, Roger.

Isn't that like hanging out

with the help?

She likes the lines

that I write for her.

Well,

you certainly decided

to bring an entourage with you.

You used to bring your frat

buddies up here all the time.

- They were my brothers.

- Uh, actually, no.

I'm your brother.

Well, at least I don't bring

B-list TV actresses

whose ass I'm kissing.

I love Blake Curtis.

We watch The Boardroom

every Sunday.

You watch The Boardroom

every Sunday.

See, I have the unconditional

support of my family.

Should we try the lake?

Thought you said

it was freezing.

It'll turn your balls

into popcorn kernels.

- That's so funny.

- Mm-hmm-hmm.

Yeah, 'cause you already have

popcorn kernel balls.

Ow! Ow!

Stay away from my balls.

How'd you like it

if I did that to you?

Oh, he's so sensitive.

You gonna run and call Mom?

Roger,

Theo, Vanessa.

- How are you?

- Good, thank you.

Good, good, good.

Hector, this is Luke.

Oh, hey.

Hi.

Is everything

all right in there?

Yeah, it's great.

Um, you been having

a good summer?

Yeah.

Just shout if you need anything.

Thanks, Hector.

- See you.

- Nice to meet you.

I always feel like such a prick

for relaxing while he's on duty.

Roger, his job

is to take care of the house.

Why shouldn't you be allowed

to relax while he's working?

Thank you.

Mm.

That's nice.

Hey, what's up with the floor

in our bathroom?

I thought you said you were

gonna redo it in bamboo.

What floor?

I don't... I don't know

what you're talking about.

The bathroom floor

in the guest house,

the one with that nasty 1970s

linoleum you never replaced.

Oh, that.

Roger, bamboo is expensive.

I know it's sustainable,

but it didn't make sense

to spend the money when, uh...

When what?

Nothing.

Just when you're hardly

ever here.

We use the house all the time.

Oh, come on.

How many times did you

drive up here this summer?

The three holiday weekends,

right?

No.

It was more than that.

It was

the three holiday weekends.

Celia,

would you like a glass of wine?

Eh, just a splash.

I mean, you don't use the house

as much as you used to,

and you...

Thank you...

And your... your brother

is always in New York.

Do you want the guest house

to look like it's stuck

in some crappy, cheapo
