It's funny, I....

I can't even go inside anymore.

Look, Nick...

...I know I screwed your Iife up.

And I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry,

you got no idea.

You didn't screw my Iife up.

I did.

And you'II always

be a part of my family.

I actually came over here

to make sure you was okay.

I was so upset about how things

were going over at your place, I just....

I went ahead and Iet Magic know that

you really, really need to speak to him.

Man, that's great. That's great, man.

I really need it.

While I was at it, I also happened

to have put my Realtor's cap on...

...and I made a couple

of phone calls.

I got a Russian banker

coming out here next Friday.

Just might be very motivated.

If you get the roof up on that place,

you might be able to flip it.

Get out from underneath

the whole thing.

Well, Iet me get the roof on.

Do you have a nail gun with the

air compressor? The whole unit?

No. I'm old-school with it.

Oh, you're doing it old-school

between now and next Friday?

Maybe just borrow mine.

That'd be good.

Thanks, Chuck.

Thanks for everything.

You got it.

You can ground me Iater,

but right now, you need help.

Mr. P, the Iittle Pulu

has something to tell you.

I'm sorry about the party.

I should have never taken

Lindsey without asking you.

You got that right.

And if it's all right with you...

...me and my brothers would

really Iike to finish this job.

Hey, fellas! I got some great news.

Tremendous news.

We are not just working

on a house anymore.

From now on, we're committing

to finishing a home.

You heard it, baby.

We're gonna finish Nick's home.

Check that for dry rot.

You. I'm so darn proud

of you right now.

You're making me feel a Iittle

"Nickeladocious," I'm not gonna Iie.

I just wanna give you a hug on your

Nickelback, my old "Nickabocker."

My Nick at Nite.

Enough!

Well, you caught me just

in the "Nick o' time."

Is it a blessing or a curse?

Go ahead, try it.

Let's go. Hey, hey, hey.

-Suzanne.

-Nick.

Now, before you say anything,

I need to get this out, okay?

-Okay.

-Now, you was right, and I was a fool.

The house is just a house...

...and it'd never be a home

without you and the kids and--

-Yes, baby, I get it.

-I'm almost finished.

Would you please consider forgiving

me and coming back home?

Babies.

Babies? You know, we can work

on that once you drop those two.

I don't think it's

a good idea to--

-Babies.

-Babies?

-Babies, Nick!

-Oh, babies!

Okay. Let me get you to the car.

Come on. Come on.

-Honey, how far is the hospital?

-About a half-hour.

Nick, we can't wait that Iong!

We gotta. That's where the doctors

and nurses and all the equipment--

-You're hurting my hand now.

-Honey, it is happening now!

-Now?

-Now!

Okay, kids, get them bags

in the house.

Look, your mom about to have what

she always wanted, a home birth.

Oh, Nick. I Iove the floors. Teak?

Oh, no. That's bubinga.

Nick, slow it down. I'm hot, honey.

I'm hot. Get it off.

Well, what now?

I don't know. I thought you knew.

What you trying to say, baby?

Chuck!

Chuck? I'II go this way!

I'II go this way!

Oh, Nick, I'm gonna kill you.

- For what?

-You did this to me.

Hello? Nickster, how we--?

You what?

Okay. Keep this Iine open.

Chuck is in the truck.

Oh, come on!

Okay.

Baby, is he on his way?

That was him.

He's on his way. Don't worry.

-Everything gonna be fine.

-Are you sure?

Go wait for Chuck downstairs.

Hello? Nick? Chuck had

a Iittle trouble with the truck.

But don't worry, I'm on my way.

Man, just tell me what to do.

Okay, now, tell Suzanne to

stay calm, and to breathe.

Okay, you got to stay

calm and breathe.

-I'm breathing.

-She's breathing.

Now tell her to relax.

Maybe do the color imaging

we worked so very hard on.

Baby, relax!

Honey, I'm relaxing.

-Don't yell at me!

-Honey, I'm not yelling!

Keep her breathing, Nick.

Put Lindsey on the phone, please.

-He wants to talk to you.

-Why?

-Who knows? Here.

-Hey, Chuck.

I want you to Iisten very carefully.

I need you to grab me some things.

I need a bucket of hot water,

an oral thermometer...

...Iatex gloves, towels, a shoestring

and some jalapeo hot sauce.

Hot sauce?

Get that for me.

Put Nick on the phone.

-Okay, Chuck.

-I am almost there.

I want you to go into the bathroom

and get some hand sanitizer.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm gonna go in the bathroom

and find the hand sanitizer.

Okay, got it. What now?

We're gonna use that

to sterilize your hands.

Why? I'm not touching nothing.

Nick, you are.

Oh, God, they're coming! Honey?

How far apart would you say

the contractions are?

Fast and furious, Chuck.

Fast and furious.

Pillow! I need a pillow.

Okay, game time, baby.

Go down there and see if

the first baby is crowning.

Come on, man, what that mean?

Can you see the baby?

Oh, God.

It's Iike the guppies all over again.

-Honey?

-Chuck, he's down.

That's what the

jalapeo hot sauce is for.

Give him a Iittle dash of that.

Hold on.

He's back.

-Put your father back on the phone.

-Yeah.

I need you to go in there,

grab that baby's head, gently.

For God's sake, gently.

Give it a pull. Then take the

shoestring and tie off the cord.

-Hello? Hello?

-Hello? Hello?

I Iost him. Are you sure

you don't wanna try a hospital?

Guess that means no.

Oh, so close. I just missed

the state record. Let's--

-How's the patient doing here?

-Oh, Chuck.

Let's go into our fun breathing.

Let's go into a deep, warm place,

and a quiet place.

Okay, quiet and deep.

Family, Iet's breathe together.

Now we're releasing on sound.

Nick, I can't take that noise.

I can't take that noise.

Hey, Iook, I'm having a baby.

I can't talk right now.

-Yo, Nick, it's Earvin Johnson.

-Magic?

Chuck Mitchell said you need

to talk to me.

Look, my wife having a baby

right now. We can't talk.

I remember when I had mine.

Yup. That's how I remembered it.

Tell Magic Chuck-dog said,

"Holler. Much respect. You the man."

Chuck-dog said,

"Much respect. You the man."

Tell Chuck-dog he's the man.

Yo, Chuck, he said you the man.

Oh, natch. That's so Magic.

Hey, man, what's up with the

Lakers, man? Y'all need a center.

He wants to talk to you, Chuck.

Roundy-round. Roundy-round.

Hello?

You got your hands full over there.

Ask Nick if he has

any more questions for me.

You have any questions

for the greatest point guard...

...in the history of the NBA?

Oh, yeah. In that '85 series

against the Celtics...

...was that a true crossover?

Because it Iooked--

Knock it off!

So gotta go. Bye, Buck.

-I need you, baby.

-Look, it's showtime now, okay?

-We got this. We got this. AII right?

-Okay. We got this. Okay.

Oh, God.

Told you it'd be beautiful.

Oh, before I forget, I got you

kind of a homewarming gift.

AII the best.

Yo, Chuck.

Thanks for coming back, man.

You kidding me?

I'm stuck on you, Nick.

And so it goes.

You know, sometimes life

throws you a changeup...
