and compact in there.

Oh, that's so great!

Oh, thanks.

- Oh, my God, do I look okay?

- Yes! Yes.

[Diane cheers]

- [Sharon] Here we go.

- [Diane] Bye!

- Bye.

- [Vivian] Bye.

[doorbell]

[knocking]

My shoes.

Oh, and Carol, your show!

Oh, God, don't be ridiculous.

And Diane...

you're leaving!

Oh, my God, you're leaving.

What am I gonna do?

Shoes!

Oh, God, thank you, guys.

I love you so much.

[shouts]

To the airport, Mario!

[Latin music playing]

[audience cheering]

Okay, that's scary.

[audience cheering]

You're gonna do great!

Gonna do great.

[audience whooping]

[audience cheering]

And that was Jed and Leyla

Sanderson performing!

Hard to believe

she's an anesthesiologist.

Arthur, it's Vivian.

Call me back

before you board your plane.

Mario, are you using Waze?

[Mario] Yes, Miss O'Donnell, but I

don't think we're gonna make it.

And last but not least,

everyone's favorite chef

and our fearless organizer.

Dancing a solo will be...

Carol Colby!

[applause]

["I'd Do Anything for Love"

by Meat Loaf playing]

Wait. No, no, wait. Sorry.

That's not the right song.

It's supposed to be

"Red, Red Robin Goes Bob, Bob..."

Oh, shoot.

Meat Loaf? Come on!

Aw, screw it.

Oh, my God, she's tap dancing

to Meat Loaf!

[Diane]

And she's pulling it off!

[feet tapping]

[Carol shrieks]

[cheering]

Bruce!

[cheering]

Five, six,

seven, eight...

Oh, my God.

My, oh, my!

How about those Colbys?

A romantic way

to end the show.

Oh God,

I can't believe you're here.

I couldn't miss a chance

to dance with my girl.

- You were incredible.

- No, I wasn't.

None of our steps

go with Meat Loaf.

Who needs the steps?

We were dancing.

I'm sorry. Your cell phone

is poking me.

No, I didn't bring

my cell phone.

- Oh.

- You want to go home now? What do you say?

- I say yes.

- Okay.

Arthur!

I thought you left.

I did.

I went to the airport

to try to see you.

Why are you here?

I realized I...

forgot to give you back

your penny.

Why did you go

to the airport?

I realized

I wanted my penny back.

See, I tried to live without it

for... for the past 40 years.

And I didn't like it.

Do you want

to make a wish?

I do.

Oh, my God, you probably

killed someone.

There's a subroof.

Nancy in my office,

she's in a book club,

and I thought

you might like to meet her.

Well, that's...

that's very sweet.

Anyone else want

another piece of pizza?

I have one.

- Mom.

- What?

You're not hungry?

I guess not.

Well, I mean,

you're probably exhausted.

[scoffs]

It's really not okay that you

drove here all by yourself.

At your age, Mom, you could

have killed somebody.

I really don't think so.

And the fact that you

don't even realize that

is what is so scary.

Oh, Jesus! Will you just...

[groans]

Please stop, okay?

I mean, really!

Oh, my God.

Okay.

You know how proud I am

of both of you.

[sighs]

The greatest gift I think

a parent can give a child

is to lead by example,

and I don't think

I did a very good job.

But your father...

Oh, my goodness,

he was stable, wasn't he?

And smart and kind.

He was just a great dad.

Fine husband.

And we had a nice life.

But there's something...

I really have to say.

There's a man out there

who makes me feel things

that I didn't think were...

still possible.

You know what he does?

He makes me feel

curious and excited

about the world.

And maybe things with us

will go bust.

Maybe my feelings

will be hurt, but that's life.

And in spite of what

you both seem to think...

I'm not through

living mine just yet.

I have things

that I want to explore.

And guess what? I think

I've earned that right.

So it's time for all of this

to just stop, okay?

You both seem to have very, very

strong parenting instincts.

But do save it

for your children

because your mother

is doing just fine.

And...

I know I'm getting older.

But I'm still learning.

And one of the biggest

lessons I've learned

is not to be afraid

to be happy.

I love you both.

But I'm not

staying here anymore.

Mom...

Mom! Mom!

Have fun.

Love you.

- Love you, Mom.

- Love you.

- Drive safe!

- [Jill] Bye!

[pop music playing]

Can I come in?

No way.

- No way?

- No way.

- What's in the U-Haul?

- Just my overnight bag.

My inner goddess says,

"Most definitely yes."

[pop music playing]

Oh. Yeah, yeah,

I see the arms.
