I go to spin classes.

You went to one.

Yeah, and now

you walk like John Wayne.

Hey, this is important to me.

I mean it!

Look, I'm sick of

being a nearly man, all right?

I'm sick of being scared.

I'm sick of the regret

I feel every day...

'cause I didn't have the guts

to marry the woman I love!

All that ends

tomorrow at 6 A.M.

# Ow! #

Not bad.

Hi.

Feel better?

Much.

Oh, how was spin class?

Uh, it was...

It was an amazing workout.

Is that right?

Yeah. And I also thought

it would be...

a good chance for me

to get to know Whit...

a little bit better, so...

Well, maybe we should all go out

for dinner then.

- You think?

- Yeah.

And then we could go dancing.

- You're jokin'.

- No, not at all.

And then, afterwards,

we could come back here...

and have a threesome.

Oh. You are joking.

Of course, I am.

Look, Dennis, I don't know

what's going on...

in that head of yours,

but whatever it is...

- I don't like it.

- I've-- There's nothing--

- Daddy!

- Hey, buddy.

- You ready for school?

- Yeah.

Wait up, wait up, wait up a sec.

Can I walk with you guys?

OK.

- I'll see you later.

- OK.

- Bye.

- Bye-bye.

All right, you ready?

Yeah.

So, Whit, you were, uh, 'round

at Libby's pretty early, eh?

Whit stayed over last night.

- Oh?

- Yes.

They were jumping on the bed.

Wow.

Hey, Jakey, guess what?

Uh, I spoke to my friend...

and he does have an extra ticket

for the show tonight.

What do you say

we, uh, ask Emily to come along?

Yeah!

- Yay.

- What, he told you about Emily?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, and, uh...

Libby tells me that you

decided to run the marathon?

Yeah.

That's great, man. Seriously.

Really, that's awesome.

Thank you.

How did you manage to get in?

What do you mean?

Well, you can't

just show up and run.

Well, why not?

You have to apply in advance.

Well, how far in advance?

Uh, three months.

And when is it again?

Three weeks.

Right.

They'll make exceptions

sometimes...

if you're running for a charity,

but, uh, you know...

each charity is only allowed

a certain amount of runners.

No, you don't have to worry

about me.

I'll get in.

All right.

You ever, uh,

run a marathon before?

No. Why?

It's pretty gruelling.

Well, yeah, that's why

they call it a marathon.

Yeah, actually, technically,

it's called a marathon...

because of the events

of 490 B.C.

There was a Greek soldier...

- named Phei--

- Say, can I just...

- stop you there?

- Yeah.

I've got have nothing to say.

I just wanted to stop you there.

All right, all right.

Hello. Is that

the Cats Protection League?

Hello. I was just--

I'm-- I'm running a marathon

next month...

and I was wondering if I could
