Hey, do you think

Of course...

You're my best frlend.

I just, uh, I love you.

No way.

I know you'll see that

Sometimes it

takes a long time.

We have to

wait for tenure.

[Soft muslc]

[Alarm goes off]

Good morning. H i.

Time to get up.

Isn't it Sunday?

Maybe we should just

the llvlng room?

But I'm not sure

If I have the

rlght nalls.

The ones

the bad holes.

[Soft muslc]

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye, sweetie.

No, oh! No.

Ah! Have fun!

[Clock chimes softly]

[Door opens

and closes]

Ah.

Oh.

[Chirping]

You cannot tell Morrie,

but did you know

that he was born with

a little teeny, tiny

vestigial tail?

He was not.

Ah, Mom told me.

It happens once

in a while.

It was an inch

and a half long.

She swore to me!

She did.

She swore

it to me.

They had to have

it removed surgically.

Too bad he

didn't keep it.

At least we would have

known when he

was happy.

So I look over and the

kid is covered head to

toe in strained carrots.

Ten seconds I didn't

have my eye

on him.

Oan I top you off

there, young lady?

I don't want to

get Brandon drunk.

No.

These are

so good!

Thank you!

It's real limes.

Maybe just

a little more.

It shouldn't hurt.

Time to light

the eternal flame.

(Gllllan)

Hello?

Anyone here?

H i. Oan

I help you?

Yeah, I need to find

Jay. Is he here?

Sweetie, Jay isn't

here right now.

Pop around tomorrow.

We'll give him

a message.

Who should I say?

H is wife.

But I can't pop

around tomorrow.

I hltched from

the clty,

and I need to

see hlm tonlght.

It's lmportant.

Well, I 'm sure

whatever it is

could wait.

You don't understand.

The cops are

looking for him.

They want hls D NA.

That's absurd.

Why would they

want that?

They said he got arrested

last week for touching

a little girl.

(Laura)

Let's go.

Oh my.

Okay.

She is not

staying here.

We don't need to put

Jay in an institution.

This is an institution.

She'll just stay here

until we talk to Jay

and clear things up.

Whoa, clear what?

We're f***ed! We're

totally f***ing f***ed!

How many years have

we been klsslng thelr

asses, and for what?

Did you see their faces

as they ran for cover?

We're pariahs. We're

totally f***ed.

F***ing pariahs.

Okay, the blg Issue

rlght now Is Jay.

No! The issue is me,

for once. It's me.

I don't even

know how many

eggs I have left.

Eggs?

Oh.

Oh, God. It's the

last thing on

your mind.

Calm down.

No, I 'm not

calming down.

I am going

to Nancy Kennedy's,

and I do not want you

to try to stop me

so shut up.

Are you...

Shut up!

I 'm taking the car!

I don't think

he's in there.

Is she...

in there?

That is

the question.

I think it's safe

to go home. Now.

Hey,

do you ever wonder

if Paul bought the

house next to ours

'cause he has a

thing for Morrie?

(Morrle)

Here.

Thank you.

So, how long have

you and Jay

been marrled?

Six months

and three days.

It's not going

so great, though.

Well, all marriages

have their difficulties.

He stopped havlng

sex a couple months ago.

He said "All desire

leads to suffering."

Then he stopped talklng.

Only wrote notes.

And then he gave that

up and moved to

the ravine.

Well, maybe not the

same difficulties.

I really,

really miss him.

I 'm pretty sure

he never molested

that kid.

(Morrle)

It's late.

Where were you?

(Ida)

It's eleven.

What's wrong?

Your wife

is here.

(Ida)

Wlfe?

She said you're under

suspicion for sexual

assault of a child.

Where's Gillian?

Passed out in your old

room. Did you know they

want your D NA?

It's gotta be

a mix up. Jay?

Jay?

What's going on?

Hey! Oome back

here, young man.

We have to sort

this out, honey.

You come back down

here this instant.

[Door closes]

Wife?

He has completely...

What are we

supposed to do?

We have to call the cops.

We have to find his

old shrink.

I can't take another

situation in

this family.

Oh, we're back at
