Scotty, huh?

Yup.

All right. Hey.

- Who are you?

- Gustav.

I am Gustav. Yes.

I never know

how to describe you.

Um, well, estate manager

is cool, Stephy, yes.

That works.

I used to run

the four seasons group in Asia

but after some point, you know,

the corporate life becomes

a bit of a snooze-fest.

You know, "Tiffany's this,

Cartier that."

But, you know. Just dot,

dot, dot. Enough already.

You know what I'm

talking about, Ned.

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Boring.

Where's laird?

Laird is upstairs.

He is just finishing

a teleconference.

He'll be right out.

Oh, okay.

Why don't we go up then?

Laird, I'm Ned.

No, no, no.

No, this is Randy.

That's not laird.

He's our intern.

Just graduated

Summa cum Laude at MIT.

So Randy, shake a leg.

Get their luggages.

Yes, sir.

The motherfucking Flemings

are in the house!

Yes!

This is f***ing awesome!

Get up here.

I'm so psyched to meet you.

Family, baby.

F*** yeah!

Oh, my god.

Scotty.

Yes, my brotha!

Welcome.

Hey, Barb.

Hi.

Oh.

Welcome.

Hey, Ned. All right.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

So glad you're here.

Yes.

Hey. Hi.

Hey, baby.

Hi.

I f***ing missed you.

Why aren't you wearing a shirt

on your body?

Oh.

Don't worry about that.

I have a little surprise.

Let's stay half an hour and

then we go back to the hotel.

That's a good plan.

Thank you.

Dad, come on.

This place is so sick.

Yeah, it's sick.

25 minutes.

That's it.

Hey! Just leave her alone.

Hey, oh, Ned. Ned.

Ned, would you look at that.

That's your face, sis.

Oh.

Very good likeness.

Oh, thanks. Yeah.

The Stephy tattoo. I got it, like,

a week after we met, right?

One week. You know,

right on my heart.

Great. Okay, do you guys

want to go see the house?

Uh...

We probably should...

We came to stop and say hey.

Yeah. We should go.

Actually, no.

No. Before we go, um...

I have a little surprise

for everybody.

Sh*t.

I'm f***ing nervous.

Do you want to

consult me about it?

You want to talk to me

before you...

You know what? No, I'm just

jumpin' in. All right?

I'm just going to do this.

Laird, it's going to be

f***ing great.

Ta-da!

Oh, my god.

I just got it done this morning

yeah.

I bet it's red, huh?

I need a little feedback.

Is that our Christmas card?

Yes.

Yeah! That's exactly what

I used. How'd you know?

Look, he even got

noodle in there.

Hurt like balls.

Gosh, it says "happy holidays"

and everything.

What?

Get the f*** out of here.

Okay.

It says "happy holidays?"

Barb, f*** you.

God damn.

I gave the guy

the Christmas card.

I didn't know he put

"happy holidays" on there.

Wow.

F***.

Guess it's stuck on there, huh?

Oops.

F***.

Well, you know,
