and somebody's going to want him.

Yeah, but not us, right?

We're not getting a dog, right?

I think you should keep him. I'll help.

You're at school.

She's not gonna come back

every morning and walk a dog,

- and neither am I.

- I wouldn't mind doing that.

Beth, I don't want a dog.

I told you, I'm gonna find him a home.

Yeah, I know you.

And what's that supposed to mean?

- That was Dr. Bhoola.

- Who?

The veterinarian.

He's gonna stop by.

What is he...

He's coming here now?

Yeah, he has some

medicine or something.

I'm gonna use your shower,

'cause it's filthy in here.

The veterinarian makes house calls?

He's very attractive.

Did you see that?

- He's an amazing dog.

- I know.

- You did a great thing by picking him up.

- I couldn't leave him.

A lot of people just don't care.

Joseph, I want you

to meet Dr. Bhoola.

Sam, please.

- It's nice to meet you, Dr. Winter.

- And you.

Is this enough paper?

Yeah, that's great.

You don't want to get this stuff

on the floor.

Come on, buddy.

Okay, so...

There's the irritation, right there.

So you give it a little spritz, like so.

- What are you naming him?

- Freeway.

You've named him?

Freeway, I bet you didn't think

you were going to a spa today, did you?

Looks like you lucked out, buddy.

Well, we're not keeping him.

So says the pharaoh.

If you keep him,

you'll be getting a great dog.

Well, thanks for coming by.

I hope my patients don't hear

that you make house calls.

Do you think I could

take him for a walk?

Yeah, let's see how

he does on a leash.

I'll go with you, if you like.

That'd be great. I'll get my coat.

Would you like to come?

No, no, not at all. No.

I'm going to clean that bathroom.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Come, Freeway.

Let's go.

Come on, boy.

- Should I go with them?

- God, no.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, wait for us! Freeway!

Hey, where do you

think you're going, huh?

Hurry up, honey.

I'm here. I'm behind you.

Look what I found. Look at that.

Yeah. Come on.

How did you two meet?

- Don't ask.

- Don't... yeah.

- No.

- I don't want to talk about it.

- Why not?

- Let's just say.

Well, it was embarrassing.

There you go.

That's his choice.

He can get as many

opinions as he wants.

Morning!

Carmen, I'm out of basil.

Can you save me?

There's extra in the shelf

behind the spice rack.

Good.

- Carmen, we can't find

the big ladder.

- Don't talk to me, I

have to get this right.

The ladder.

In the shed, left side,

under the tarp.

- The ceremony is starting

- Okay.

Aunt Grace is so pretty!

Dad.

Namaste.

Welcome, everyone. I'm Todd.

Grace and Sam have foolishly asked me

to officiate today.

I recently was ordained

on the Internet, about last Wednesday,

so feel confident,

I know what I'm doing.

If the disk is massively herniated,

it's either got to be a laminectomy

or it'd be microdiscectomy.

It's unavoidable.

Have Ruthie send the MRI up here,

would you?

- Right now.

- Come on, Ethan.

I'll see you Monday.

Dad, everyone's leaving.

Grandma's waiting.

We have to go. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Listen, I know he calls your mother "Mi-Mi,"

but does he have to call me "Pee-Pee"?

He's trying to say "Poppy. "

He just can't say it yet,

We're working on it,

though, right? Poppy?

You're doing a great job with him.

Thank you.

Did you see Sam playing with him?

I think he's going to be

a pretty amazing father.

- Yeah. Hope so.

- Hope so,

Speaking of amazing,

you girls looked amazing today.

I've never seen

Gracie look so happy

Yeah.

Bride.

- Hi!

- Here's the pretty bride.

Hi, honey.

- All right, we're loading up.

- Okay,

Gracie, you know, it's not too late

if you want to change your mind.

Maybe after the honeymoon.

I want to see Bora-Bora.

Fine. Just don't sleep with him.

Dad, you know how when your daughter

asks for something on her wedding day,

you have to do it?

What, is that from The Godfather?

These next few weeks may be hard on Mom.

I'm sure, she'll be fine.

Will you make an effort?

Well, I always do.

More?

Will you try harder?

Promise?

Of course I will.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

- Get home safe.

- Thanks.

So why didn't Joseph invite me

to stay tonight

since you're going to be here?

Did you want to stay?

No, I can't sleep in this altitude.

Where's your new boyfriend?

I want to say good-bye.

- Really?

- I'm right here, darling girl.

Let go of me, you sexy minx.

We don't want everybody

to know, do we?

Muriel, it's a delight.

I should have known

Penny's mom would be a fox.

Stop it, please.

Mom? Mom?

I can't sit in the back. I'll get carsick.

Especially on these horrible roads

you've got here.

I know, Mom.

That's why I'm putting you in the front.

I'll probably get sick anyway.

Well, that's the spirit, Mom.

Here, you know,

that's why I gave you that Tigan,

to help with the carsickness.

I didn't take it.

I don't know what's in that stuff.

You know what's best for you, Mom.

Bye.

Jeff, thanks for sacrificing your sanity

for the good of the family.

No problem. I'll get her to the airport.

Sam, you got a lot to live up to.

Wait till you get to know my family.

- Say it? Say it?

- Bye, Ethan.

- Say "Poppy "

- Poppy

- Pee-Pee.

- We're trying!

That'll do. Love you.

- Bye, I love you.

- Bye.

I love you! See you soon!

- Bye-bye!

- Bye, Mom.

Bye!

You shouldn't have told

her we were staying.

Bye!

- Bye!

- Bye!

Bye-bye!

Have a wonderful lime!

Bye!

It was really nice, actually.

Everybody was in a good mood.

No, Penny didn't say anything.

Violet, no one was insulted.

Don't worry about it.

I told them it was important

for you to be at your thing. it's fine.

Russell?

No one will mistake him

for a rocket scientist.

Except for my grandmother, who loved him.

Kind of wish she'd marry him.

Okay.

Yeah, go ahead.

All right. I love you.

Hi.

Why didn't your wife come?

I'm not married. You're Carmen, right?

I'm Bryan. I'm Joseph and Beth's nephew.

So, what, you live here?

You take care of this place?

Caretaker a hard job?

My other two jobs are harder.

What's going on with your neck?

It's killing me.

- Maybe I can help.

- Are you a masseur?

No, I'm a surgeon.

Maybe you can help me slit my throat.

Wow, tough day.

Wait, let me get it. I got it.

All right, where to?

- Out there.

- Okay.

You guys really rocked. You didn't rock.

You were blue grassing. I'm sorry.

- Had a good time.

- Thank you. Okay.

Oh, God.

Sweetie. Hello, sweetie.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

We've unloaded both girls.

That just leaves Freeway.

No, he's not going anywhere.

He's a real mama's boy.

What do you think about Russell?

Penny has outdone herself this time.

I don't know. It could be serious.

She said she wanted to tell us something.

Maybe they're getting married.

- To that idiot?

- Hey...

Come on.

He's got the personality

of a used car salesman.

Penny is a bright woman.

He charmed your mother at the reception.

Exactly my point.

Russell, Penny tells me

you're in demolition.
