Welcome to Letting Go With Love.

Chapter one.

You're on a dock.

You've been here before.

Choose to walk down the dock.

Notice the boat.

Notice the gathering clouds...

the high winds...

the unsteady seas.

Choose to board the boat.

Now hold on...

and never let go.

Happy 4th July.

If you're looking for that perfect burst

of fireworks in the sky,

Colleen Malone has already done

the groundwork for you.

Colleen and her team of experts

have designed the show

over LA's Dodger Stadium,

and she's here to talk to us now.

- So, Colleen, thanks for joining us.

- Happy to be here.

Hey, you have reached Seth and...

And me, too!

- Should they leave a message?

- Leave a message, please.

Did I do good?

The mailbox is full and cannot

accept any messages at this time. Goodbye.

Hey! Open up.

- Yeah, OK. Just hold on one second.

- Can you open the door?

- Just don't touch the thing.

- Can you open the door? I can't open it.

What? Oh, there you go.

- OK, we got it.

- Whoo!

- Oh, can I have a little room?

- Just hold on one second. I got it.

All right.

- Hi.

- Hi. I thought you forgot about me.

- I'm 15 minutes early.

- Is your brother coming tonight?

- Yeah.

- Really?

I sent Ella the cutest little truck

and he hasn't called me to thank me.

Oh.

- You know where we can go?

- We're not going to CVS.

Oh, come on. Please?

They're having this big make-up special.

You know, eyeliners and lip liners

and eyebrow liners.

Anything that has a "luh" sound in it

is on sale, two for five.

You don't need...

You have so much make-up.

- Maybe on the way back.

- You just want to wander the aisles.

You don't get anything.

It should be quality over quantity.

Are you going to put

some earrings on later tonight?

Yeah, I have these on. I'm going to...

But you have a different...

For the party tonight,

are you putting on earrings?

Maybe a little lipstick?

- Yeah.

- Maybe we can get you a nice liner.

I'm going to...

I'll put all the make-up on.

- You will? Oh, good.

- I mean, I'm...

- It's a party.

- No, I know.

I know what... I know what...

OK, fire her up.

Coming through, hot soup.

Oh, excuse me.

Sorry.

- Whoa!

- It's for Ella. Isn't that cute?

- It's definitely a dog toy.

- It's not a dog toy.

Um... There's a spot

to blow all these up in the back, right?

OK, great.

OK. Yeah, we need all this stuff.

Oh, how cute. That's so big.

Don't you think that's good value?

OK, don't. Don't, don't, don't.

- I don't think they're going to fit.

- Oh, they will fit.

- Oh, God! Are you OK?

- Oh, my gosh!

Come on, you guys.

You little bastards. Get in there.

- Let's pull them through.

- Seriously, I've got to pee.

OK. All right.

OK. Ah!

Oh, that looks good. OK.

Mom! Mom?

Mom?

That's great. Can you fill

half of these with juice boxes?

- My niece is coming.

- Sure.

- Cups!

- Killing it.

Hey, hey, hey.

I owe you. I swear this time.

You know, there's an outlet over there.

Thanks so much.

What's going on here?

There's a drought in California.

- I was just going to turn it off.

- OK.

Are these pig blankets

tight enough for you?

Yeah.

- Yeah.

- You're going to re-roll.

- She's going to re-roll those.

- You guys are so mean. I...

I might... I might re-roll them.

Hey, Mom?

Mom! What is...

- I'm thinking this.

- Yeah.

- Is that what you're wearing?

- No.

Well, you don't need to...

It's a good outfit, but no.

Oh, hold on. Your tag is out.

- Thank you.

- OK.

Oh, my God. He will see the balloons

from down the block.

Wait. What are you wearing, if not this?

- I have a thing laid out. Another outfit.

- A thing?

I have a... It's cute. I think

it's pretty cute. It's like a dress.

It's like a dress?

- It is a...

- Hold on.

I think maybe people

might come into your room.

You can fold a couple of things.

Is this a shirt or a dress?

I think if you

have to question what it is...

Don't think.

One, two, three. Shirt or dress?

I mean, I think it could be

either of those things.

If you have to ask yourself, maybe

it's not the best choice. I don't know.

I need to ask myself.

- I just... I can't...

- This is stressing you out.

- Hello!

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Hey, Dad.

You can see the balloons down the block.

I know. Will you say something to Mom?

I just can't with her right now.

Yeah, sure. Yeah. Is Seth here?

- Wait. You were supposed to get him.

- Was I?

- Definitely, you were.

- Hey, Cam.

- Hi, Gar.

- Hey.

Let's get this party started.

Yes.

Here we go.

Looks good.

Just peeling eggs.

It's actually exhausting.

- Hell, yeah. Thank you.

- Sure.

- I will go deal with your mother.

- Thank you.

Your dad is so hot.

OK.

It's true.

Did that, like,

make you uncomfortable growing up?

It was really hard.

It was a dress for a child.

I looked it up.

Hm. What the f*** is that?

Um... What the f*** is this?

- Yeah.

- It's a sign I handcrafted.

No.

- Respect it.

- No.

- Is this glue stick?

- Yeah, this is glue stick. Yeah.

- You can pay people to do that for you.

- You can.

- You can if you're a sucker.

- For sure, yeah.

I don't know.

Oh, my gosh.

OK. You guys, Jack made it to drinks.

- Good

- Yes.

You guys don't think he knows?

- Yeah.

- No.

Yeah, I know that he doesn't know.

- Right, he better not know.

- Uh-uh.

I am dying to see

his cute f***ing face when...

I can't even. I mean, I can't even.

In my heart, I can't.

F***ing face.

The fireworks. It's going to be...

- It's almost too much.

- It is.

It is almost too much.

OK. All right. OK.

I'm going to go get the cake.

- I can do that.

- No, I'm going to get the cake.

Then I'm going to get the tacos

before my mom starts telling me

everyone will starve.

- OK.

- OK.

Please stop eating everything.

This is a tiered thing.

- I worked hard on making these color...

- You're losing your mind. Go.

- Remove yourself from the premises.

- We love you. Go!

- Call me if you need anything.

- Have fun. We are covered.

- She's freaking out.

- You're stressing her out.

I ate one of these.

- Can you peel or...

- Have you tasted these?

- Put that away.

- Will you taste it?

Chapter two.

You are on the same boat.

Notice how water has rotted the boat.

Promise yourself to fix it

before you travel.

- Lost one.

- Yeah, it was my fault.

My fault. My fault. I got excited.

OK.

It's OK.

Katie, I hope you have

more food than this.

Your friends are going to starve.

Yeah, Ma, I'm going.

And get your brother

for me on the way.

Ding-dong!

I'll be right there.

All right. Got your backpack? Your shoes?

Have you got your shoes?

My balloons.

I forgot my red balloon and my blue one.

I have two balloons.

Two red ones...

- Yeah?

- ...and two blue.

- Can you go get them?

- Are you OK?

Yeah.

Keep that there, and give you this guy.

Oh, yeah.

Kitty cat.

This f***ing thing just, like...

It's... It's a normal seat belt.

- Just click it in.

- Maybe you could come back and help me.

I don't know why you're in the front.
