Relax. We're just acquisitive young minds.

Okay, it's "inquisitive,"

and you don't have a mind like that.

Kenny, get out of there. Dad will kill you.

(KENNY SCREAMS PLAYFULLY)

Sheesh!

That egg could feed the whole football team.

MARK:
Hey!

You break it, you not only have to buy it,

you have to eat it.

- Now, get out of there.

- How is it going up there, Dad?

- Get out of there.

- Sorry.

Okay.

You hiding from T. rex?

If I were still a kid,

I could definitely see a nightmare coming.

Can you see that woman

across the room wearing the red dress?

(INDISTINCT)

- ANNIE:
She's beautiful.

- Inside and out.

I'm a lucky man, and I knew it

from the moment I saw her.

- Not many men could say that.

- That's true.

If you don't mind,

I wouldn't take this out the entire evening.

I'm faithful in the big things,

but this is business.

And you've never used your cell phone

as an excuse to avoid talking to her?

No. Never. Absolutely not.

Okay. Well, let's use technology as a way

to enhance your relationship with your wife.

Text her right now.

Tell her she's the most beautiful woman

in the room.

Are you kidding?

Trust me on this.

Type.

to stay eligible to play. That's me.

PHOTOGRAPHER:

Go ahead, go.

There she is.

That's the young woman

I was telling you about.

SOPHIA:
What a beautiful family.

ALEXANDER:
Yeah. She obviously knows

what she's talking about.
