Joan attempts to lead an impromptu family therapy session, and Matt and Colleen have a great bad date.

_
WOMAN (over TV): Of course, I do understand...

Hey, uh, Mom, Dad, have you seen my phone?

Oh... oh, oh! Oh, no.

- What are you doing?
- Well, we have to do it this way

so we can both watch Charlie Rose.

- Okay. I'm sorr...
- This is what I keep saying...

Move back into your bedroom.

- Don't live in the damn garage.
- Yeah, and I keep saying to you, Mother, that

feels really permanent and I
need this to be a temporar...

You know what, I can't have
this conversation with you.

There's too many holes in that afghan.



Just... Here, I found it.

- Keep it.
- It was under your mother.

Oh, honey.

Sit down, your mother made you a waffle.

Oh, no.

No, I am not having the-the

special-talk waffles. Now...

if you'll please excuse me,

I am going to go buy a new phone.

JOHN: Yeah, you should.

It accidentally filmed us,

and I-I don't know how to delete it.

Oh! Oh, God.

Honey.



Honey, having you back home...

It's a big adjustment for all of us.

I'm now a porn star. I didn't...

(laughing): That's...

It filmed us. You can delete that.

I'd give it up, Joanie. He doesn't want

to talk to his mom about it.

That's true, I don't.

You may not want to talk
to your mom about it,

but you should at least
talk to a therapist.

Oh, man.

I mean, of course I didn't want
to see my parents doing that,

but I just... I don't
see how talking about this

is gonna make it go away.

Well, then, is there a feeling
that you wish would go away?

There's an image I wish would go away.

Right. But you need to talk
about this with someone.

I talked about it. You did?

Yeah. With Greg and
Heather, I texted all night.

Believe me, they're just
as disturbed as I am.

Oh.

That's so interesting.

You know, I think it's
clear that, as a family,

we're falling into some unhealthy

communication patterns.

If we can send it electronically

through our phones,

then we can say it emotionally

through our mouths.

- Yes?
- I was told there would be doughnuts.

- Yeah, they're coming.
- Do we really have to be here

all just because Matt walked in on...

whatever it is he walked in on?

Greg. You can't even say it.

- Intercourse.
- Oh, you're such a kiss-ass.

The sooner we give her what she wants,

the sooner this is over.

Amen to that, girl.

Yeah, you're buying me a new purse.

- Sure.
- Have-have you

given any thought to what you would say

to a child who-who saw
you in that situation?

Our baby only sees shapes
and colors right now, Mom,

- so I think it would really just be guesswork.
- Yeah.

Okay. Okay. The real issue here

is communication, and that affects

every member of this family.

Why did we have to get out of the pool?

Because Uncle Matt walked in

on Mom-Mom and
Pop-Pop communicating.

- Dude.
- Oh, dude.

- Dude.
- So...

can we go back

to playing Marco Polo?

Yes. But first I have a game

that might be even more fun.

Can you do your job overseas?

Okay, everybody,

keep eye contact and be honest.

Like this:

John, sometimes I feel I need you

to be more in the moment.

Um,

keeping it fresh...

keeps it special.

Oh, thank you.

He just read that off the doughnut box.

Well, yeah, but I read it

- in the moment.
- Ready,

set... keep sharing,
keep looking...

Go!

I've always been
intimidated by your strength.

Yeah, I'm not doing this.

That was strong.

You need to start wearing deodorant.

I know what you do in the bathroom.

GREG: So, who did you

see more of, Mom or Dad?

Dude. It was like watching

two candles melt onto each other.

Oh. Yeah.

- You promise to be honest?
- 100%.

Who's your favorite child?

Tim.

Pretty sure it's Tyler.

Ugh.

Mom, how much longer do we have to do this?

Let's try to say the same
thing at the same time.

Okay. All right, you ready?

- Apple.
- Shoes.

- Hamster.
- Pencil.

- Rhinestone.
- Cowboy.

BOTH: Whoa!

- Yeah.
- You guys need a third over there?

Done with my doughnut.

Aw, look at 'em all talking.

You're a hell of a mom, Joanie.

That was in the moment.

Well...

can I go back to the pool now?

Let's both go. They're fine.

Still got nobody.

Solo.

WOMAN (over TV): version, and now
that it's a big blockbuster hit...

- Hey.
- Joanie. Hmm?

Look at this.

Whoa.

Charlie Rose...

I think we should watch from the bedroom.

Mm, yeah.

Yeah.

(creaking)

(muffled giggle)

JOAN: Oh! (Laughs)

_

- Try it again.
- Okay.

(engine sputters)

Aw...

Well, well.

Here's the problem.

- What?
- Your car's a piece of crap.

This girl already knows
you're broke, right?

No. No, she thinks it's vintage.

I-I told her I got it at
an auction in Pebble Beach.

You've never been to Pebble Beach.

- I've never been to an auction.
- Oh...

Look, Colleen's my boss

and she just broke off her
engagement to her weird fiancé.

I'm trying to seem like
I'm the better option,

which I don't think I'm going to

when I show up to pick
her up on my skateboard.

So she's special, right?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You ever have something
really great come along

at the worst possible time?

Oh, yeah.

Your brother Greg.

Yeah, we were supposed to stop at two,

but it all worked out,

because he's successful.

Thanks, Dad.

Can you please just help
me get the car started?

Well, there is an old trick I used to use

when I couldn't get an
aging aircraft started.

Yeah. Anything.

Little tequila...

Try her now.

(engine starts)

- There you go.
- Ah? Hey!

Wait, you put tequila in a plane?

Yes, sir.

Works good on old motors.

Also good in old pilots.

Thanks, Dad.

Go get her, son.

COLLEEN: Thank you.

- After you.
- Oh.

I'm so glad you're a let-the-
lady-sit-first kind of guy.

Yeah. Uh, unfortunately, I am also

a slide-my-hands-into-your-back
pockets kind of guy.

I'll overlook it, 'cause you're very cute.

(laughs) Excuse me, sir?

We're having trouble starting your car.

Oh, yeah. There's...

- there's just a trick to it.
- Okay.

All right.

I shall El return-o.

Um, please forget that I said that.

- It's broken.
- Yeah, I know.

Can't really afford to fix it.

You want to buy it?

(kicking)

It's broken.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

Guy just didn't know
anything about cars. Whoa!

Look at that wine list. Huh. There's

so many of them. Sometimes

I look at it, I'm just,
"Aah!". You know?

Aah! Uh, don't even want any wine anymore.

- There you go.
- Oh. So, I ordered another one already?

Yeah, you grabbed my forearm and
you told me to keep 'em coming, so...

- Oh. Okay.
- Something to drink, sir?

- Uh, water, please.
- Oh, sparkling or flat?

- Tap is fine.
- It's brown.

That's fine.

- No. Don't look!
- It's easy for you to say.

You're a good artist. I'm terrible.

- Nobody is a terrible artist.
- Okay.

- Pencils down.
- (sighs)

- (giggles)
- Some people are terrible artists.

- (laughter)
- That bad?

Oh. Oh, let me.

No, I got this. You may be

the boss at work, but I asked you out.

- I'm just gonna run this up there, you know.
- Okay.

So that we're not, like, oh,
you know, what's taking so long?

- That went through?
- Uh-huh.

Yes!

She's pregnant.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

(whispering): You aren't. Thank you.

- Mmm.
- Oh. (Laughs)

Couldn't help but notice
that something's going on.

- Uh-huh, mm-hmm.
- You okay?

I was supposed to be
somewhere else tonight.

- Okay. Where?
- Mm-hmm.

At my wedding.

I'm so sorry I didn't tell you,

but today is the day I
was going to marry Chad.

- Oh.
- Yeah. And if that wasn't bad enough,

we canceled so late, I'm
still paying for the reception.

Well, that's just cruel.

What, they wouldn't give you a refund?

I tried. The manager...
He was like, "No."

- Just like that? Like, "No"?
- Yeah.

- Right in my face... over the phone.
- God.

What I wouldn't give for, like,
five minutes with that guy.

- It's really close. We could go.
- Like right now?

- Yeah, like right now.
- Yeah, all right, let's go.

- Okay, get the car. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

Yeah, you know what? Let's
walk. I'm too angry to drive.

- Sir?
- Yeah.

- Your car is on fire.
- (scoffs)

This guy.

I'm sorry, ma'am. As I told you

when you canceled, the reservation

- is nonrefundable.
- Oh, is it?

- Yes, it is.
- Mm, this is why I didn't go to law school.

You're doing great. Isn't she doing great?

You know what? We're gonna need

to see the supposedly empty ballroom

that she's paying for.

Yeah, there's no way you
guys aren't double dipping.

- Okay, let's go.
- You want to... ?

- Mm-hmm, yeah.- Yeah.
- Probably should.

COLLEEN: Yeah. I don't...

- I'll do it. I'll show you.
- MATT: Okay.

Here's my card with my cell phone.

If you have any problems,
don't hesitate to call.

(scoffs)

This guy.

(scoffs)

It's magical in here.

- (crying)
- Oh, no. I'm sorry.

- Mm...
- No.

I am...

I'm so sorry.

I have no business trying
to date somebody right now.

I'm a mess.

You're a really sweet guy,

and, um, you don't need this.

I release you from the
disaster that is my life,

and I will see you at work on Monday,

and we can pretend that
this never happened.

My car's on fire.

What?

I'm 38 years old. I'm drowning in debt.

I live in my parents' garage.
And when this date is over,

I have to call my mom
to come and pick us up.

Your life is a disaster.

My life is a disaster. It's why
we're perfect for each other.

And the best thing that we
can do for the dating world is

to just take each other off of the market.

(rhythmic whirring)

Okay, well, the honey
badger's finally down.

How's the dairy farm?

Oh. Almost out of business.

God, I cannot believe I'm failing

at, like, the most
basic task of motherhood.

Oh, honey, you are not failing, okay?

She's getting milk.

Yeah, but it's such a struggle.

Then there's Diora in mommy group.

Her breasts are like an
inner-city fire hydrant

in the summertime.

They're just like... (imitates whooshing)

Her children are frolicking under it

with umbrellas and rubber boots.

To be fair, she has huge boobs.

Who is that fair to?

Look, sweetie, I support
anything you want to do.

- You know that.
- (sighs heavily)

But there is a solution to this problem.

We-we can just supplement with formula.

- No. No.
- Okay.

My milk is what's breast for her.

Breast for her?

Best for her.

- I said, "Best for her."
- Okay.

JEN: Hey, thank you so
much for coming.

My, um... well, my friend Sasha
said you guys worked miracles

- for her and little Sephora, so...
- Oh, that was so sweet.

So sweet, but no, no.

Mother Nature is performing the miracles.

- We just facilitate.
- Oh.

- That's all.
- We are but tools.

I've never heard of a lactation
consultant couple before.

Well, breast-feeding is a family issue.

- Mm.
- So, let's dive in,

- shall we?
- Mm-hmm, sure.

Okay. (Exhales)

Now I just want you to

just feel the energy pass through as we...

Oop, don't flex. Why are you flexing?

- I'm not flexing.
- Just relax.

- Breathe in.
- Okay.

Close up the circle.

- We go here.
- Come on, connect.

Yeah, you. Right here. Don't be
afraid. I'm not wearing a bra.

- Oh. That's fun. Okay.
- MAN: That's it. There you go. Just, you two just have a...

- WOMAN: Just okay?
- No, you're not.

Grab on. There we go.

- Welcome to parenthood.
- (laughter)

And breathe in. (Inhaling)

(short, fast breaths)

Oh, your hand is incredibly warm.

Yeah. That's the energy.

- Okay.
- Now we just

remain here for an hour.

(man inhales and exhales)

The wheat grass and the
Japanese fish-eye paste

will stimulate your milk production.

- Okay.
- You are lucky.

Well... (clears her throat)

This smells like my
junior year abroad. Ooh.

- Okay. Okay.
- Just do it. Just go.

One, two, three.

There you go. That's my girl! Yeah!

- Oh, my God!
- (chuckling)

(panting)

It's coming back up, it's coming back up...

Your milk will not flow when you are at war

with your body. You're angry

- at your breasts, hmm? Yeah?
- Mmm.

- Yeah, you are.
- I don't... Oh. Oh.

Forgive them.

Okay.

Yeah. (Chuckles)

- I do. (Chuckles)
- No, don't tell me.

Tell them. Tell your breasts.

(quietly): I forgive you.

Louder.

I forgive you.

- I just got chills.
- (chuckles)

WOMAN: Okay, you are ready.

Okay.
You can do this. You're going to take the mammary

- and you're going to flatten it into a sandwich.
- Right. Okay.

- There you go. Flatten it.
- A sandwich.

And then shove that mamwich
right into Lark's mouth.

It's deli time.

- What?
- You know what? Let's show her, Teddy.

Right. I'll be the baby.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's okay.
- Oh... Oh.

Thank you. You don't have
to put yourself through this,

all right? Just say the word,
and I'll go get you formula.

- (gasps)
- (gasps)

- Oh, no.
- What did you...

Did you just say the "F" word?

Formula?

Don't you ever

drop the F-bomb in front of my sister.

Okay, look, I'm just trying
to be supportive for my wife

and my kid, all right? I'm not trying to...

- Wait a minute, sister?
- Yeah, that-that's what got me.

Lark is gonna be fine, okay?

- All right? You are smart, you are funny,
- (sighs)

you are tough, and those
are gonna be the things

that she gets from you,

and those cannot be bought at a store.

That's so sweet. Thank you. I love you.

I love you.

Oh, my God. What?

You did not pay us to quit.

Your baby will thank us later. Go, go,

go, go, go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

TEDDY: Like us on Facebook!

I hate those people.

Yes. I do, too.

Check the bag. There's still one more.

- We still got one. We still got one!
- Quick, they're coming back.

They're coming back.

Give it to me! Give it to me! (Screams)

- ♪ I like to move it, move it ♪
- Dad!

What? I'm just making sure that
everybody knows that

♪ I like to move it, move it ♪

- ♪ I like to move it, move it ♪
- Dad.

- (laughing): Honey, honey.
- What? Tyler smiled!

Don't encourage him.

Why? It's funny.

See, and that is why I love you best.

Okay, girls, that is so not true.

He loves me best more than
all three of you put together.

It's sweet that you think that.

Am I the only one who cares

that we're leaving this house forever?

We're only moving a couple miles away!

And the new house is gonna be even better!

I mean, yes, I know
this is where you used to

come home to with your little lunchboxes,

(crying): and then you'd run into my arms

and yell, "Mommy... "

Okay, I'm over it. Let's move.

Please, no, come on! I'll
give you five dollars.

You run into my arms and go,
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."

- Oh, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy...
- Oh.

- Oh, yeah!
- Hi!

Hey.

Hey, Uncle Matt.

(imitates explosion)
What are you doing here?

What? I came to help you
move. That's what family does.

Also because Mom and
Dad fired up the hot tub

and threw on some Josh Groban,

so I knew it was time to leave.

Also Dad told me

it was time to leave.

(doorbell rings)

Oh, hey, guys?

If the movers look a little
rough around the edges,

that's because Clean Slate
Movers only hires ex-convicts

to help them turn their lives around.

That's right... Wait, what?!

(laughing)

- It's a charity!
- Who cares?

It's deductible.

- Kids, this is a good cause.
- MAN: Morning!

I'm Aaron. You guys ready?

- Yes.
- (screams)

All right, men, let's move!

Looks like someone likes
to ♪ Move it, move it ♪

- TYLER: No, come on.
- Dad, stop!

♪ They like to move it, move it. ♪

Madagascar.

If it was between '98
and '07, I have no idea.

Were you studying abroad?

Oh, Tim, Tim, look, look, look.

Oh, what year is that?

- That's...
- See...

- (whistle blows)
- Oh, my God.

Workers, hold!

Sir?

Can I speak to you for a second?

- Me sir or her sir?
- Go, go, go, you go, go.

We are not allowed to come
in contact with anything

that pertains to our incarceration.

That's why I had to blow the whistle.

Oh.

Oh, the alcohol, yeah.

Sorry, no, I-I'll get that.

I'll take care... I'll pack that up.

Is there any other drugs
or alcohol in the house?

- No.
- HEATHER: No!

(laughing): No. No.

- No?
- No, it's not...

- There is nothing.
- What... ?

- What happened... ?
- It... (mouths)

Apparently there's nothing.

Aah!

(shrieks)

Hi. Thank you.

Oh, um...

I was just coming in
for my, um, mouth mints.

Please, don't do that! I
will get in so much trouble.

I have to.

Whoa... Stop.

If you blow that whistle,

this kid's gonna get grounded

for, like, at least a year.

Now, what would've happened

if somebody would've cut you a break

the first time you screwed up?

Where would you be right now?

Dead.

Okay, that was a bad example.

You know what? That's mine.

He's holding it for me.

I don't live here.

So that means, technically,

you don't have to blow that whistle.

I'm so tired of fighting.

All right.

Thank you, Uncle Matt.

Yeah, yeah, hey.

- I owe you, man.
- All right, man.

What are you... ?

- No?
- No more.

Okay.

(laughs)

One A.D.D. pill.

SAMANTHA: What are you doing?

Aren't we gonna say good-bye to the house?

We've been here our whole lives.

Oh, sweetie, it doesn't
matter where we live

as long as we're together as a family.

What about Sergeant Tweety?

And Eeky and Speedy the turtle?

Oh, honey, they're in Heaven.

No, they're technically

buried in the backyard.

Yeah, they are family.

We wouldn't leave Grandma in the backyard.

(quietly): That depends which grandma.

You know what? We dig!

(clicks tongue)

He's got a lot of energy.

We dig.

- We-we dig.
- We dig.

Let's, let's dig.

That's on there.

Yeah, I'll drive slow.

Yeah. Let's go.

(engine starts)

SOPHIA: Bye, house.

Don't like your new family better than us.

Hey, look, kids! There's
Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop!

Howdy, neighbors!

Hi, sweetie!

How great is this, yeah?!

TIM: Well, we're home!
