That's what's up.

Okay? That sets the tone.

Handle your business,

big bro.

That's exactly

what I'm gonna do.

Bro, but wait, man.

Can we talk, man?

You can't just

bring up Mr. Andy

and then walk away.

That's just...

There is no merit badge

for what they were doing.

Driver:
Watch your step, sir.

Here you go.

Hey, man! Taxi!

I'm trying to get to judge

peeples' house. Can you take me?

That's a private road. The closest

you're gonna get is on that.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, God. (Groans)

Oh...

(Belches)

(Dog barks)

Hello?

(World music playing)

(Yelling)

What in God's name...

Don't run or present your

hindquarters to the dog.

You're gonna set off

his instinct to mate.

(Yelps)

Well, now you're

having puppies.

Wade:
Get this dog!

Aaah!

Please, somebody, help me!

Help me!

Just relax!

He's getting to know you.

Wade:
This dog

is doing it to me!

Banneker, off!

I told you not to run.

Wade:
Man!

I was just trying to live.

We usually have him leashed

when we're expecting visitors.

Are you okay?

Well, this isn't exactly

how I planned to meet you two,

but I'm wade.

(Chuckles)

Hey.

Virgil peeples.

Daphne peeples.

Can we help you?

I'm wade.

Wade Walker.

I was hoping to

surprise grace.

You know our Gracie?

Yeah.

(Chuckling) Grace and I have

been... Grace:
(Yelling) Peanuts!

Peanuts! Peanuts! Peanuts!

Peanuts! Peanuts!

Hi.

Hey.

Hey.

(Chuckles)

This gentleman just washed

ashore, and he says he knows you.

Yes.

This is wade Walker,

everybody.

Guilty.

Yeah, and he's my friend.

Daphne:
Oh, how

wonderful. (Chuckles) Yeah.

And also,

he and I,

we see each other.

And we are...

We are in a relationship.

(Chuckling)

(All chuckling)

Awkward.

Virgil:
Excuse me.

A relationship?

Grace:
Yeah.

Dad, I'm sure I mentioned

I was seeing a wade.

No. No, I don't remember that.

Yeah.

Virgil:
I don't recall a relationship

or a wade. I'd recall that.

Well, that's wonderful, and he's

here now, and that's all that matters.

That is correct.

(Chuckles)

What a surprise. Right?

I'm Gloria, grace's sister.

Of course! I watch... We

watch you all the time on CNN.

Cool. This is my friend, Meg.

She's the reason you can watch me.

Hey, I'm

the camerawoman.

(Chuckles) Wow. Grace has told

me so much about all of you.

Where's Simon?

Simon!

Grace...

Additional trials

on the cybotic helmet prove

that instrument can

isolate thought commands,

such as left,

right, stop, go...

Grace:
Simon!

...but can also pick up on emotional

states, such as anger and anxiety.

Grace:
Simon!

Will any of this

help me to get laid? No.

Just a minute!

What?

This is my

little brother, Simon.

I'm 16.

What's up, si?
