But we'll work on that later.

lt means a lot.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

So, what are we

having here?

Okay, l just think it's so cool that he

actually did what he said he was gonna do.

l know. l know.

See, l told you everything

was gonna work out.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Hey, we still going

to the DMV tomorrow?

Um. Yeah.

l'll be by around 10:00.

Yeah, that sounds good.

All right.

Good night.

Night.

# l'm happy to say

# It's really not

too bad a day out... #

Hey, Sean,

turn that down, please!

Yes!

Sean, turn that down now!

l mean it!

Your mother said

to turn it down!

# Do you know why? #

Do you think it's a good idea

they're so passionate at their age?

They've known each other

since grade school.

She's a good influence

on Michael.

You should stop being

so old-fashioned.

l think it's so lucky

that your mom met David.

Why is that?

He is gonna be your ticket

to staying here with me.

Maybe l don't want

to stay here with you.

Maybe you want to go back to

an all-boys military school.

Maybe.

Mmm-hmm.

But l like

Iooking at you.

That's why we

make a good couple.

Because l like

you looking at me.

You okay, Sean?

Um...

Yeah, l'm okay.

You sure, buddy?

This is great.

l've missed family

dinners like this.

You've missed them? Does that

mean you were married before?

David lost his wife and

daughter in an accident.

Yeah,

a drunk driver.

Oh.

l had no idea. l'm

sorry, David. l'm sorry.

l guess that's why family is

so important to me, Michael.

Well

family is imp!ortant.

We haven't always had such

great experiences as a family.

Hey, it wasn't all

Dad's fault.

No, l didn't say it was.

But, you know,

our family wasn't that bad.

l saw on TV this woman who drove off a

bridge with her three kids in the back seat.

That is so not dinner-table

conversation, young lady.

They all drowned. That kind

of thing really gets to me,

that someone could do

that to her own children.

lt makes you wonder,

though, what it takes

to make someone do

something so sick.

Okay. Can we change the

conversation? Yeah, l'm sorry.

Dad!

Maybe they disappointed her.

Dad!

Hey, how are you? Let me

take this. l'm good. Thanks.

Hey, sweetie.

Hi, Dad.

Aren't you gonna

say hello to him?

No.

Shotgun!

What?

There's no way

you're getting shotgun.

Hey. Hey, work it out,

guys. Work it out.

Hey.

Back on Sunday.

They're going to camp.

We have a million

things to do.

l know they're

going to camp.

l'm only in town

a couple days.

l'm taking the kids

to a Blazers game.

They can spend the night with me at

the hotel. l'll have them back tomorrow.

Where's the co-ed girlfriend?
