Couples Retreat
What was that?
Honey, are the kids
up? What are they doing?
I peed.
Kevin peed the bed.
Our bed? Uh-huh.
All 500 thread counts
of Egyptian cotton.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I don't want you to
worry about it, buddy.
It'll happen again your freshman
year of college, trust me.
Sit down here. But I like soda.
How you doing, big guy? Good morning.
Let's have a big morning!
Let's start off with a little
breakfast, get our Froot Loops.
Here's Daddy's coffee. And I need it.
Here's your bowl of
fruit, without the loops.
Why no loop?
Daddy doesn't need loops.
I gotta eat it. If I eat a big meal now,
then I can watch what I eat later.
Otherwise, I'll get starved
and raid the refrigerator.
Okay, honey. We've got to hurry up,
'cause we got to go to hockey.
because I might try to get a
little bit of work done today.
Honey, we have to go by the
showroom and pick out the tile.
I want you to see it. We
talked about this last week
and I told you how
important today was for me.
I'm Mega Man! May the best team win!
Okay, guys, let's keep it down.
Keep the eyes on the... On the screen.
You guys doing good?
- Yes.
Honey? Yeah.
What do you think? Nickel, brushed
nickel, chrome or brushed chrome?
I like the silver ones.
They're all silver.
Well, great. Pick out whichever
knob that you like, then.
No, I'm not gonna pick
whichever knob I like
because you know what's gonna happen?
Is that I'm gonna pick one
and then you're gonna complain
once they're in and
then it'll be too late.
Hello? Dave, where
the heck have you been?
I'm picking out pulls. Why have
you been calling me nonstop?
Well, you know how my credit's
all screwed up because of my wife?
But you're divorced.
I need you to cosign for my motorcycle.
What motorcycle? I'm
buying a motorcycle.
Shane, you have no money.
Why in the world would you be buying
a motorcycle that you can't afford?
Dave, you're white. You
can't understand this.
This is something different.
Don't play the race
card with me, Froot Loop.
I'll take him in. You
stay with Kevin, okay?
Okay. All right, go ahead.
Have fun, champ. Go get 'em, buddy.
You should see this thing. It's
Who's Trudy?
That's my girlfriend.
Girl from the mall?
She's 20 years old, Dave.
Let's go. Let's move
it. I got bikes to move.
Listen, Shane. You are not buying
some 20-year-old
broad a motorcycle.
I'm not buying her
anything, it's for me!
Daddy, what's taking so long?
Hey, baby, I'm on the phone,
didn't call me that in public.
But I call all my boyfriends Daddy!
Dave, you gotta do this for me.
Why don't you just lease it?
No, she'll know.
Who will know? She's a kid.
Get her an assignment notebook
and put rainbow stickers in it.
You don't have to buy her a motorcycle.
Did you or did you not say, "Move on"?
I told you to try to work it out.
Joey's the one who told you to move on.
Can you give me a minute?
Try to make it fast, Daddy.
Dave, I'm hurting. I would
love for my wife to come back.
But we know that's not gonna happen.
It's nice to feel appreciated.
I need this for me.
Fine. Just text me the address. Okay?
Pick out a helmet, baby!
Daddy!
So, honey, this is the tile.
and I really need you to dial in.
Sweetheart, I'll help you.
I want a sugar cone.
I'm gonna hit you
after this, buddy. Okay.
Honey, you work from 8:00 to 8:00.
You're not gonna be helping anyone.
Hang on, honey, okay?
It's just really busy right now
because the video game ships this month.
Now that I have you, I
just want you to dial in
and tell me what you really think.
It's fine.
Do you love it?
As much as I can love
tile, I love this tile.
Okay, good, 'cause it's $1,000.
Really? Mmm-hmm.
Is that installed?
Nope, just the tile.
Well, what is it made
out of? Whale tusks?
No, it's not made out of whale tusks.
This is so boring.
Give me just one second.
Let me just grab this.
Honey? We have to do this today. Hello?
Hello, Dave. Joey?
Yeah, hey. Look... Just
one second, that's it.
...what are you doing
about the Jason thing?
If it's Joey, can you ask him
if he's coming to the party?
Are you... Are you coming
to the party on Sunday?
Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.
Yeah, he's coming, all right?
Give me one second. Stay with Mom.
One second.
Jason's gonna be calling you, all right?
He's got another one of
his PowerPoint deals that...
Hold on one second. Hello?
Hey, Dave, it's Jason.
Listen, I'd love to put something
on the books with you and Ronnie.
Are you gonna make it to
Kevin's birthday on Sunday?
Yes, I am. Now, listen,
I was hoping that
you guys would come
down here to the firm
because Cynthia and I have
a PowerPoint presentation
that would just play gangbusters
in the conference room.
Okay, okay, hold on one
second. It's ringing.
Hello? Why'd you hang up on me?
I didn't hang up on you. You're on hold.
He's trying to get me to see
another one of his PowerPoint things.
It's just how he communicates.
He's... He's, you know...
He's overly efficient.
Well, I don't like
hearing about ball cancer,
let alone looking at diagrams.
Joey, he was scared.
Tell him I'm not going.
I ain't telling him you're not going.
You know, I got him on the other line.
You can tell him yourself. Hold on.
I don't want to... I don't...
Hello, Jason?
Yeah. I got Joey on the line.
Hey, Joey, I've left you
a bunch of voice mail messages
all morning. Where are you?
Listen, I can't make it.
Well, we haven't even
set a time yet, you know.
If you'd listened to the voice mail,
you'd know that this
is just a feeler call
to check your temperature on schedule.
I'm not sitting through another
slide show about ball cancer.
Listen, pal, I'm alive today because
of early detection, all right?
Is this about ball cancer?
"Cause I..
- I'm not into that, either.
I'm gonna wrap this up right now.
and if you two refuse to check
your scrotums for hardened nodules,
I certainly can't force you, can l?
Look, I gotta go, all right? Bye+
Dave, are you still there? Hello, Dave?
Kevin! Kevin, that's not a real toilet!
Sweetheart, he's pissing in
the middle of the whole thing!
Buddy, I gotta go.
But Cynthia and I are willing to
offer you a life-changing opportunity.
Jason, you don't understand.
My son is literally peeing
right in the middle of the
store. I gotta go. Go, go, go.
Okay, but that's not
a real toilet there.
It looks like a real toilet to me.
Yeah, it looks real. Okay.
That's a whole other conversation.
You feel better? Yep.
You want me to get those for you?
Yep.
There's not a lot to
Mom, Dad's home.
Hi, hon.
Hey, how was your day?
Usual. Yours?
Good.
Okay, love you. Bye.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait
