Are We Done Yet? Page #6

be very gentle. Around.

This may not be

the best time to tell you...

...your house needs

a new foundation.

Don't Iet that interrupt the flow.

-That's it! That's it!

-Nick!

Come on, Nick.

Somebody's having a bad day.

Now, be careful with that.

That is New England mahogany trim!

I bent over backwards to get it for you.

-What is up, Nick?

-This is what's up.

-You played me!

-No.

You knew this was a piece of junk

the minute you sold it to me.

I knew the minute I met you...

...that this home was meant for you!

You just needed a Iittle push.

Well, here's my push.

I should warn you, Nick.

I am trained in capoeira,

the Brazilian dance of war.

Yeah, I don't know karate,

but I know crazy.

Oh, Nick!

No!

That was a close one. Once it gets

going, man, is it hard to stop.

Get off me. You are fired!

What? Nick. Nickelback. Come on,

you can't blame me for all this.

No. I can. And I will. And I do!

I blame you for everything, Chuck.

It's all your fault.

I'm blaming you for the ozone Iayer,

global warming, the price on gas.

It's all your fault.

So get off my property,

get out my face and get out my Iife.

No, no, no, Nick. The good news here

is that all we need is some therapy.

Nick, we can work our way

through this, and guess what.

I'm a Iicensed couples therapist.

I am.

I see this tension happening

between contractors and clients...

...all the time.

It's the bread and butter

of my practice.

But just admit this one thing to me.

One thing.

What?

You never would've bought

this place if it hadn't been for me.

Exactly.

Why is that? I'II tell you why.

I'II tell you why that is.

Because I knew what you didn't.

Yes, I knew there was

more work to be done here.

But I also knew the value

of this place.

I knew that when you were done...

...that this was gonna

be a home for your family...

...not some stinking house. I got them

up to here, they're a dime a dozen.

But a home, a home, Nick.

This is it.

Your home.

Does this Iook Iike a home to you?

This is a mess!

I need you out of here, right now.

Well, if you--

If you can't see the value of a home

as opposed to a house...

...maybe I'm not your guy.

Where y'all going?

It's called Ioyalty, Mr. Persons.

We work for Chuck.

And if he goes, we go.

Well, then go.

I don't need none of you.

I can do it myself.

I don't know what you

were thinking, Nick.

You're gonna have to realize that

we're gonna have to hire Chuck back.

What? Oh, no, no.

That's never gonna happen, all right?

Nobody takes me for a ride...

...so he's never stepping foot

in this house again.

Chuck is caring, and he cares

about this family.

What he needs to do is move back

with his own family.

It's not normal for a contractor

to Iive with his clients, Suzanne.

I understand that, but it's been

fun having him around, Nick...

...and he's great with the kids.

No, he's not. He's the one tearing this

family apart, that's what he's doing.

He's the one tearing

this family apart?

You're the one tearing

this family apart, Nick.

-Me?

-Yes, you.

With your insane obsession

with this house.

You don't have to worry

about that anymore.

Got the perfect idea.

This house is driving

everybody crazy...

...so I say we just move on

and cut our Iosses.

Oh, and where are we gonna go,

Nick, to your condo?

Anywhere but here.

Nick. Nick. We cannot keep

uprooting our family Iike this.

Who was the one crying

that we needed a bigger place?

AII right? Now, I wouldn't

be stuck with this dump...

...if it wasn't for you

and these ungrateful kids.

Nick.

Suzanne, I didn't mean that. Come--

-Hold on. I didn't mean that.

-No. No. Don't touch me right now.

I'm just under so much pressure.

And I'm not under pressure?

I'm the one who's having babies

that I'm not even sure you want.

I really think you're overreacting.

I think we need to spend

some time apart, Nick.

Come on, now.

When we first got here, these kids

were not happy about being here...

...but now they're vested in this.

So, what are we gonna do? Just take

that all away because it's difficult?

Is that the thing you

wanna teach Kevin?

That when the going gets tough,

you just quit?

You should try putting that

on the cover of your magazine.

Look at you. I mean,

you quitting on me right now.

I am not quitting,

I just need time to think.

Suzanne.

Where you gonna go?

Oh, not you guys too?

Just cutting our Iosses.

Kevin, I know you understand.

Not now, Nick, I'm busy.

Well, you're gonna thank me

when we out of here.

You city kids and you know it.

Coco, get in the house.

I said, get in the house,

you ignorant mutt.

Coco!

Coco.

I'm sorry.

What you doing?

Jason Winchell caught an 8-pound

bass and brought it to school.

Well, actually, just the head.

But it was so big, you could fit

your whole hand in its mouth.

Chuck was supposed

to take me fishing.

That is, until you fired him.

You know what?

Why don't we just go now?

Really?

Come on. Let's try it.

Hey. I know it's been kind of hard,

making the move and all.

And I haven't actually been around.

Well, I've been around,

but I haven't been around, around.

Know what I mean?

-Yeah.

-Well...

...I'm here to Iet you know

that all that's gonna change.

Because FYI...

...I think you're a cool son.

Thanks.

And you're a cool dad.

Kevin!

What was that?

I don't know.

But he messed with the wrong kid.

Get him, Nick!

I got him! Stay back!

Yeah! You tell Jason Winchell

that the fish he caught...

...wasn't nothing but bait, baby!

Yeah!

Hey, hey. Hold up.

Forgetting something.

Lunch money.

Thanks. Bye.

-How's your mother?

-She's fine.

You're not gonna have

a heart attack out here, are you?

If I do, just pull my body

behind the shed.

My pleasure.

Lindsey.

I know you're still mad at me,

but I'm trying to get it right.

It's a new family, a new house.

It's all new to me.

But I'II try to be

more understanding.

Okay, okay, okay. I probably should've

handled the party a Iittle differently.

I'm sorry, Nick.

I should've asked you.

Does this mean

I can see Danny again?

Don't push it.

Go ahead and make your bus.

-Good morning, Mr. Rooney.

-Hey, hi, sweetie.

Hey. This is for you.

Thought maybe you could use this.

How's the house coming?

It's coming.

Hey, how is Chuck doing?

Don't know and don't care.

Boy, I hope he's okay.

This is a tough time of year for him.

Oh, yeah? Why's that?

His wife. He Iost his wife a few years

back around this time of year.

You didn't know, did you?

Oh, yeah, she was

really something special.

He's never been the same since.

She was his entire world.

- Hey, man.

- Hey.

I heard about EIIie.

Come in.

Hey, I got a Iittle organic

herbal mat going here.

Thanks.

-Can I tell you something?

-Yeah, shoot.

When I was working on

your home with you...

...to me...

...it felt Iike family.

It felt Iike the special stuff,

you know? The stuff you hang on to.

Stuff that's gone missing

around here for quite some time.
