in the house to leave the seat up.
He can't lift the seat. He lacks
the strength and opposable thumbs.
Ah, right. Opposable...
Jinx is a house cat. He can't go out.
lt's just one of those things.
l don't think Greg will
be playing with Jinxy. He hates cats.
Pam, l don't hate cats.
l don't... l just happen
to be more of a dog lover.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it's OK if you hate cats, Greg.
l don't. l don't hate cats...at all.
That's OK. Just be honest about it.
There's some things l hate.
l'm being honest, really. Like what?
Why don't we let the kids freshen up?
Greg, we'll get you something
to wear from Jack's closet.
OK.
- Oh, honey.
- Yeah?
l'm so happy you're home, sweetheart.
Me, too, Daddy.
Hey, listen, be nice to this one, OK?
l kinda like him.
OK, l'll try.
Thank you.
Shirt fit OK, Greg?
Fantastic. Thanks, Jack.
l wish you hadn't said
that l hate cats.
You do hate cats.
But you didn't have to say
right when we met.
l'm sorry. lt just slipped out.
Get your red hot pu-pus!
My goodness! What is that?
Oh, that's just...
Go ahead, open it up.
Oh, look, honey.
Greg brought us a present!
Oh, isn't that nice?
Look at this. lt's a flower pot...
with the dirt in it.
Mm.
Actually, the real gift
is what's planted in the soil.
The bulb of a Jerusalem Tulip.
Which, l was told,
is one of the rarest and most
beautiful flowers in existence.
Oh, right, right.
Uh, the Jerusalem.
From the Jerusalis tulipizius genus,
yes, yes.
Anyway, the guy said
with regular watering
it should bloom in six months.
Well, we'll look forward to that.
(Pam clears throat)
So, uh, Greg, how's your job?
Um, good, Pam. Thanks for asking.
l recently got transferred to triage.
ls that better than a nurse?
No, Mom, triage is a unit of the ER.
That's where all the top nurses work.
- Well...
- No. They do.
Not many men in your profession.
No, Jack. Not traditionally.
Mm-hm.
Pam, did you know that your father
started his own business?
Really? Dad, that's great!
Oh, wow!
Yes, l thought with my experience,
why let retirement stop me?
So what is it? What's...?
What's the new venture?
Oh, let me ask you a question, Greg.
Let's say you have kids and you wanna
get out of the house, you know?
So you hire a baby-sitter,
someone you think you can trust.
References, experience -
all check out fine.
But, how do you know for certain
that your loved ones
are safe with this stranger?
l mean, can you ever really trust
another human being, Greg?
Sure. l think so.
No. The answer is you cannot.
