Stop. What?

And I don't even have a uterus.

I mean, I have it. It's in a jar.

It's actually in the room

that you're staying in.

This is great, actually, because

we actually totally forgot

to pack our uterus.

Hey, all right! I like your shirt.

Here.

No, man, I can't do that.

We share everything here.

Wow.

Who are these people?

I have no idea.

I'm just going with it.

God afton.

One! Two! Three!

Give it a nice push!

Oh, you guys.

Incredible night. Truly.

Do you take credit cards?

No, no, we all decided that

you paid us last night

with your friendship and honesty

and your stories.

I mean... That's so kind.

Do we get change back for that?

If we didn't need the money

so badly, we would insist.

Just remember, money buys nothing.

Nothing important, right?

No, no. Money literally

buys nothing.

I think you mean metaphorically.

No, literally. Nothing.

Literally, money buys most things.

No, nothing. Are you saying that...

I'm saying that literally, it...

No, but I'm saying, literally,

money buys nothing.

It buys nothing. You're right.

Money pays for nothing.

That's right.

But not literally. Honey.

And I don't want to hear that this

one slipped back into the world of

two-way pagers and VCRs and

The Arsenio Hall Show.

You can't express your feelings

by sending a letter through

a fax machine.

Oh, God.

I'm having a feeling.

Hey, man.

And the feeling is that

you guys should stay.

We can't.

Wow. That is so sweet.

You never hear that at Embassy

Suites, do you?

No, you don't.

Anyway, you don't have

to answer now.

Just suck on it for a while.

Yeah.

We'll mull it over.

Suck on it.

Wait!

I made this for you guys.

So you'll always remember Elysium.

Wow! What is it?

It's some sticks glued

to orange peels.

Bye!

L, George!

You the man! You the man!

Bye! We love you!

We love you!

Bye, guys!

Hi!

George and Linda! Oh, my gosh!

What happened? We were so

worried sick about you!

What happened?

What do you mean? We just

spoke an hour ago.

Oh, that was you.

I was too embarrassed

to say, "Who is it?"

There he is, my moron homeless brother!

Where's your cardboard box?

Get over here, I'm going to

fill up your soup bowl.

Come on, you lose your sense of humor

when you lost your apartment?

"But I want to stay in my apartment

"even though I can't

pay my mortgage. "

"I'm all upset. "

Linda, look at you, your

body is redonkulous.

Have you been working out? My God!

Rick, I think you're making

everybody uncomfortable.

Oh, everybody knows what I mean.

Hey, Tanner, come out here and say

hello to your aunt and uncle.

Hi, Uncle George and Linda.

Hey, Tanner! Wow, you're so big!
