They're in this cocoon,

but they wake up and it's
like a primordial soup.

- Soup, I know.
- And their mouth is the butt...

- Please stop.
- ...and the butt' the mouth, which is...

I know, I already know!

I just don't want to hear
it again, no offense.

I... um, you're driving me nuts.



I'm excited!

I've never been to a mansion before!

Well, it's not a social
visit, all right?

My sister sucks.

Hey, okay. That's your sister.

Yeah, you despise your sister.

Yeah, well, 'cause my
sister's a locksmith.

She lives in a box.

Your sister's a freakin' millionaire.

Well, no, she married a millionaire,

there's a big difference.

- (engine running rough)
- Oh...

baby got a big old butt! (laughs)

That's gasoline.

What?

Oh, my God! (spits)

Why do you have gasoline?

Well, I'm not gonna
pay Greenwich prices.

So you keep it in a juice jug?!

Yeah. You spit all over my dash.

What'd you want me to do with it?

I don't know, deal with...

here we go.

- Cop, cop, cop! Put the gas away.
- What happ...

- Why?
- I got this.

- Why, why?
- I got you, I got you.

Howdy.

Everything okay here?

(restrained laughter)

- Security.
- Yeah.

(laughing) Yeah.

We're fine, not that it's
any of your concern.

- You guys lost?
- No.

My sister lives here.

Okay.

Stay out of trouble.

Will do, Officer.

(both laughing)

What the hell was that?

- Well...
- Guy treats us like a bunch of lowlifes?

Yeah, welcome to Greenwich.

Yeah, I should have spit on him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Jimmy, where you going?

To the barbecue.

Oh, no.

No, you're not coming in with me.

Why not?

'Cause your embarrassing.
You embarrass me.

I'm embarrassed of you. (laughs)

Then why the hell
did I just drive up here

from Rhode Island?

So I can drink.

Uh, just pop on the game.

No! I'm not gonna sit out
here like some goon and...

Whoa, uh, ninth, go, go.

Here comes the pitch.

Everyone, shut up.

Can I bum a smoke, please?

(coughing)

No.

Well...

okay, fine. I'll kick you a dollar.

It's okay, I already have a dollar.

Thank you, though.

(laughs) Well, it's just
kind of customary

to help out a fellow smoker in need.

I get the sense that
you're in need a lot.

What's your problem?

I don't have a problem.

You do.

Otherwise, we wouldn't
be having this conversation.

- Sorry to bother you.
- It's okay.

Intercepted.

Are you serious?

Bitch!

Bitch.

BOY: Relax, Mom. It's only cider.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Chip Pemberton.

I live right up there.

In the spirit of Labor Day,

let's give it up to the real laborers,

the caterers,

- the valet, and...
- Hey, there.

- Oh, my God. Mackenzie.
- What?

Hi. What are you, um,
wha-what are you doing here?

Well, you invited me.

But we invite you every
year and you never come.

- Huh.
- Mackenzie, wow.

- (sighing): Christopher.
- (phone buzzing)

What has it been like,
eight, nine years?

- Oh, I got to get this.
- Whoa. No, I can't... okay.

Uh, Liz, look.

Um, this is my sister, Mackenzie.

- Oh, this is the sister.
- Yes.

The sister?

What are you? You're the...

- Neighbor.
- The neighbor?

Well, I'll let you two catch up.

- You don't...
- Poodle, call me.

- Mm-hmm.
- Good luck.

Okay.

Did she just call you Poodle?

It's cute, right?

- Poodle, huh?
- Yeah.

All right.

- You look nice.
- Thank you so much.

Yeah.

What'd you do to your...
you did something to your face?

I did, yeah. I upgraded a bit.

- Uh-huh.
- BEN: Mommy?

I got a nosebleed.

Oh, gross.

Get-get... Alba, could you...?

ALBA: Oh, yes, Ms. Poodle?

Oh, okay. Estás bien.

- Vámonos, Benito.
- Gracias, Alba.

Ay, vamos a limpiar.

They have their own
little secret language.

So annoying.

And you should see Sabrina.
Oh, my... oh, there she is.

Sabrina, look, it's your Aunt Mackenzie.

(laughing)

Sabrina.

Wow. Aunt Mackenzie.

I haven't seen you since you were young.

- (laughs)
- Sabrina's going to Yale next year.

I got into Yale,
that doesn't mean I'm going.

- Well, you sh...
- That's probably a good call.

Cute.

Remind me, what do you do again?

You know how it goes.

Just kind of in between things.

- (chuckles)
- I don't...

but good luck with your things.

- Thank you.
- (giggles)

- Isn't she amazing?
- Oh, she is.

I am amazed.

- So, listen,
- Yeah?

Poodle. (chuckles)

Um, I wanted to give you an opportunity

- to invest in my future.
- There it is.

This is the Mickey that I know.

- What are you talking about?
- I was half your age when I settled down.

Settle down? You got knocked up by

some rich guy when you
were working as a stripper.

(whispering):
I was waitress at a strip club.

You were a topless waitress.

Okay. And that's even worse,

it just means you couldn't dance.

Hey! I am a great dancer.

No, no, I-I'm a bad choice for that job.

Oh, no, no. You just need to

Have that neighbor lady,

Absolutely not.
I'd never hear the end of it.

Uh, babysitter? Don't
you have a babysitter?

Ooh, I know! Get one of those guys

outside the hardware store to-to do it.

- They'll do it.
- Damn it, Mickey.

My hands are kind of tied right now.

Uh...

(exhales)

So...

your parents are safe

and they just wanted to see

if I could spend a little

while this whole thing gets sorted.

(laughs)

It will get sorted, okay?

And when it does,

those FBI pigs will be
the ones rotting in jail.

Mommy and Daddy are in jail?

(stammering)

Don't worry, Ben.

The scales of justice tip
in favor of the wealthy.

If we throw enough money at this thing,

I'm sure it will go away.

And then we'll sue their
asses for defamation,

- okay?
- Okay.

Okay.

So, I have an idea. Ooh!

Why don't we all just hunker down

and play poker all night long,

until this whole thing blows over?

(scoffs) That's not gonna work for me.

Yeah, I'm gonna go to this fund-raiser

for Planned Parenthood.

Probably crash at my friend's place,

go to the city tomorrow.

So just don't expect to see me too much.

You know, we probably won't
see each other at all.

But hey,

let's catch up again in ten years

when you need another loan.

Listen, Sabrina,
I got a lot riding on this gig,

so can you do me a
favor and not be a big,

giant, pain in the ass, please?

Maybe you don't know this,
but Planned Parenthood

provides health care to
over three million women

in this country.

Oh, sweetie, I know all
about Planned Parenthood.

I should have one of those punch
cards that gets you a free sub

every ten visits.

Gross.

No, I just meant...

I-I never got, like... uh...

I just had a bunch of bacterial

you want to make a difference?

through a lot right now,

um, with your parents and...

Oh, I don't care about that.

Oh.

Okay, well, whether
you do or you don't...

I don't.

All right, well, the point is,

I'm your aunt and I want
to be the cool aunt.

I want you to come
to me with boy problems.

Or girl problems. I don't assume.

What do you say?

Can we start over?

Please?

Yeah, okay. Why not?

Mm-hmm.

Um... I just, like,

I'm really happy that we're talking,

I just feel like... there is something

that I wanted to say to you.

Yes, anything, please.

I know you think you're pretty clever

with this little plan to
drink me under the table.

But you see, there are two problems.

You're not.

And you can't.

Peace out, Mackenzie.

Uh-oh.

Something the matter?

No, I'm good, I just felt
kind of funny for a second.

Oh, man.

Funny how?

Funny like you just
drank six different types

What?

You got straight played, homie.

No, but you took it, too.

I can handle my 'Quil.

Well, I mean,

I don't want you to

All right,

Is it heated?

Oh, I don't know.

I never tried.

me you're here every single day

busting your hump,

these entitled monkeys
don't even let you get wet?

Oh, I cannot swim.

That's not the point.

The pool's a metaphor.

No, you're getting boxed out,

It's not gonna be awesome, it's sick.

He's gonna be trapped in a cage

What happened to you?

I'll tell you what happened.

I tried to trump violence with humor,

and violence won by a landslide.

Well, clearly you didn't do it right.

Did you remember to
laugh at his tiny penis?

That part's pretty important.

It was humongous!

I'm lucky he didn't beat me with it.

Okay. I... uh, go put a steak on
your face or something, I don't know.

Sabrina, can you please
try and think for a second?

You're the one who told me to
get out on the front lines.

Well, I don't... I give terrible advice!

- Look at me!

I'm grotesque.

- I'm gonna sue his ass.
- For what?

Battery.

And then I'm going to sue
the school for negligence.

Okay. Pipe down, all right? You're not

gonna sue your way

Now what?

What do you want?

Just checking in. You don't
strike me as much of a cook,

Oh! Shoot.

You did that on purpose.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my, what did you

- No. I didn't do that.

He got pounded at school for
checking out some kid's wiener.

Because of you!

freaking dong in school.

LIZ: Okay. (groans)

Mickey, can I have some more ice cream?

That's it. I'm calling the cops.

Why don't you call the
cops from your house?

even begun to put hands on you.

Don't you go anywhere.
I am not done talking to you.

- Yeah.

Who is this?

No idea.

Okay, ma'am. Why don't we step outside

until we figure this out?

You are not even a real cop.
You've got a cloth badge.

Don't make me detain you.

With what? You have no gun.

No, I have a Taser.

Bitch, I hope you brought
two, 'cause Mama's

got a real high tolerance.

Okay. Here we go.
