Synopsis: In four days, Jerry Peyser and Steve Tobias will become in-laws when their respective offspring, Melissa Peyser and Mark Tobias, get married. Married Jerry is a Chicago area podiatrist. He is risk averse to an extreme, afraid of heights including being in tall buildings and flying, even watching airline commercials. He is also extremely controlling, having organized the lavish wedding against the simple affair Melissa had envisioned.

In reality, Steve is a deep undercover CIA field agent, something that Mark knows but is unable to divulge to anyone, even Tracy and her family.

- We'll talk about it on the plane.

I don't fly. There's no plane.

Doctor, do you know what a roofie is?

Yeah, I know what a roofie is.

Frat boys give them to girls at parties.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, don't rape me.

Hello?

Hey, Jer.

We're on a plane!

Yes, we are. And you're

doing quite well, I might add.

I'm making myself an omelet.

You hungry?

I feel sick.

How did that stuff work out

that I put in your drink?

Gives you a hell of a kick.

People say they wake up so refreshed.

You gave me a roofie.

- There's nobody flying!

- No, Gulfstream 5, top of the line.

This baby flies itself.

This one, I think,

belongs to Barbra Streisand.

- What kind of omelet fillings you want?

- You stole Barbra Streisand's plane?

I borrowed it. It's not like we're going

to the Bahamas or anything.

I mean, this is official business.

- I'm gonna throw up.

- Bathroom's right behind me.

I'm really proud of you, Jer. I think

you really conquered this flying thing.

You're my hero.

You have dialed

an invalid country code.

Okay, Marc is such a wonderful guy.

And you are so lucky.

I'm gonna get so drunk.

I'm totally fine.

I fall all the time, you guys.

I fall every day.

- Marc?

- Melissa, it's your father!

- Dad?

- Honey.

Dad, I can't hear anything.

You're breaking up.

I can't hear anything.

- Jerry?

- Katherine!

I am in the bathroom

of Barbra Streisand's airplane.

Steve is taking me to France!

Honey, your father's going to France

with Barbra Streisand!

What?!

Babs! Babs!

I'm not going to France

with Barbra Streisand!

So, what's she like? Is she nice?

She's not here!

I love Barbra Streisand.

- They're taking me against my will!

- This doesn't make any sense.

These things don't have to make sense,

Katherine. Call everyone.

All the authorities!

Do it now!

Is Melissa okay?

She said something to me in the office.

I'm worried about her.

Put her back on the phone!

Jerry?

- Yeah?

- Hey, Jer, you fall in?

Yeah, I did. I fell in.

I'll be out in a minute.

Hello?

Mom, can you come here for a minute?

Oh, no. This is about the tax return,

isn't it?

You ever been to France, Jer?

No.

I think we're flying way too low.

Well, we gotta stay under the radar.

It makes things a little less complicated.

Yeah, but this is just too low.

Let me tell you about this guy we're gonna

see. His name is Jean-Pierre Thibodoux.

Now, he is a smuggler of the worst kind.

But not to worry, all right?

We're just going in and out.

Gotta pick up $ 170 million.

Hopefully broker a deal where I can bust

both the buyer and seller, put them in jail.

You're getting $ 170 million?

Yeah. It's chump change for a guy

like that. Once he's got Olga...
