(3.00 / 2 votes)- Mr. Mills, how are you?
- I'm fine.
- How are you?
- Fine.
- I suppose you wanna see it again?
- If you don't mind.
- You know where it is.
- Oh, yeah.
If I charged you a dollar every time
you came to examine the machine...
...you'd probably own it.
It's the one all the pros use.
Mariah Carey. Beyonc. Gwen Stefani.
Really? Who's Beyonc?
Just kidding. I'll take it.
Excuse me, sir.
The adult party's in the front.
- I'm Kim's father.
- Excuse me, I work for her father.
- Her real father.
- It's okay, Cyril. I got it.
- Hello, Bryan.
- Lenore.
I just wanted to give Kim her present.
We're letting the kids
have their space.
- Put it with the others.
- I wanna give it to her myself.
- Still having trouble following the rules.
- Oh, come on, Lennie.
- I've asked you not to call me that.
- Excuse me. Lenore.
- Dad!
- Oh, my darling.
- Hi.
- Hello, my sweet.
- Happy birthday.
- I was telling your father...
...how we arranged the presents.
- Here.
It's bad manners to open the one...
...and not the others.
- Go on. Open it.
- Cool.
- A karaoke machine?
- Well, I figured she wants to be a singer.
- When she was 12, Bryan.
- We've moved on.
- Thank you, Daddy.
My pleasure.
- I still wanna be a singer. Don't tell Mom.
- You got it.
Here. One for the book.
- We have a professional photographer.
- Big smile, sweetie.
That's my girl.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my... Stuart!
Stuart, I love you! I love you!
I love you!
Happy birthday, sweetie.
- Oh, Stuart, you're impossible.
- I know.
- Hey, Bryan.
- Stuart.
- She's not a little girl anymore, huh?
- I guess not.
- Will you join us for lunch?
- No, thanks.
I just wanted to be here
to wish her a happy birthday.
- Good to see you, Bryan.
- You too.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You forgot.
Come on in.
It's not like I didn't call to remind you.
Third Saturday in May?
- Red meat, red wine? Sound familiar?
- He probably had a lot on his mind.
Yeah, the busy life of a retiree.
Every day a new adventure.
What does a retiree do, anyway?
Take naps? Play golf?
- Hit on rich widows?
- That takes care of the morning.
Yeah, well, come on, guys.
You know why I'm here.
Yeah, how's that going?
Okay. We had her birthday today.
Can you believe my Kimmy's 17?
Seventeen?
- To Kim.
- Lennie still got a hard-on for you?
She's not Lennie anymore.
She's Lenore.
Oh, she's still got a hard-on.
- And the husband?
- The same. Perfect.
- Dig deep enough, there's always sh*t.
- We can dig if you want us to dig.
What, you think he hasn't
done it already?
Thank you, Bernie.
- How's Kimmy?
- Good. She's good.
Yeah? She sleep over yet?
Well, let's say we're working on it.
She appreciate the fact
that you've given up your life...
...in order to be closer to her?
What a life, huh?
Hey, remember Beirut
after the chief disappeared?
Bry was in deep with that
crazy sheik from Hezbollah?
The guy said he'd get us inside
then disappeared.
We're scrambling to get the hell out...
...before we get taken down
and where are you?
I promised never to miss her birthday.
Yeah, that went down well
at Langley...
...when they found out
you flew the coop...
...to attend your child's birthday
Where did you say
your next posting was?
The Arctic Circle spying on penguins,
I believe it was.
No, penguins live in Antarctica.
Actually, it was Alaska.
What's your point, Sam?
My point is we have an open space.
Say the word, it's yours.
- Guys.
- See you, Bryan.
- Good night, guys.
