Doesn't matter now.

Scott spent the night at Brad's house.

He should be back soon.

Great.

Where are your friends?

They're out back.

Don't you think we should get them?

Well, sure. Yeah.

- Let 'em in.

- Okay.

Welcome.

Can I get you something to drink?

Yeah.

Do you want one, Fred?

No. Thanks.

Well, I bet you're all glad to be back.

- Yeah.

- Oh, yes, ma'am.

Excuse me for a minute.

Sit down.

So.

How are you?

Fine.

Are you sure?

Is anything wrong?

No. Nothing.

Something's wrong.

I don't see you

for almost two years, and then...

I don't know.

Well...

I don't know, either.

Well, I guess they say that...

you know, that...

it's difficult at first, and...

I'm sorry. I jus... I really am.

I just can't do this.

Everyone told me to wait,

but I don't see the point.

You know me.

I'm no good at pretending.

Pretending about what?

Fred, you're not gonna like this.

Okay.

Okay.

I think I w...

I need a divorce.

What?

I'm sorry.

But to go around pretending

for a week that it's not true,

well, that didn't seem fair to you, either.

Wait a minute...

I come home, and...

Why do...

Why do you want a divorce?

I didn't plan it this way.

It just happened. You were gone.

I'm sorry, but I've moved on.

You gotta be kidding.

I got a new job, and I'm finally happy.

Finally happy? What...

You mean you weren't...

you weren't happy before?

Well, I guess I was. I don't know.

I... I...

You seeing someone else?

- No.

- You can tell me.

I'm not seeing anyone else.

I don't want to see anyone else.

I'm happy being alone.

I want to be alone.

I know that sounds harsh,

but it's the truth.

I am happy.

Without you.

Oh, my God.

This is what makes a guy flip out.

He's gonna strangle her.

If it were you,

you wouldn't strangle her.

Okay.

Shoot her. Whatever.

Hey.

- What's up?

- Hi.

Who are you?

Friends of your dad.

My dad?

- He's...

- Scott.

Dad!

It's good to see you.

Wow! Look at you.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

Just great.

So.

Did Mom tell you?

Yeah.

You surprised?

Yeah.

Can you believe it?

Stanford.

- What?

- I got into Stanford.

What?

Yeah, I got in!

You got into...

I got into Stanford.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, my... Yes! All right!

- I did it.

- I knew you could do it!

Yeah, and I got a scholarship

that'll pay for half the tuition.

- Fantastic.

- And I made six grand working this year.

- Excellent.

- And I need $20,000 to pay for the rest.

That's not so great.

Well, I told him I'm not sure

we can come up with the $20,000.

It's doable.

I'll just get my old job back,

and if we have to,

we'll take a second mortgage

on the house.

We have a second mortgage already.

Well, then we'll sell
