You will introduce me

to all your educated friends,

and they will think,

"Bryan has let his dick make this decision,"

I will know what they're thinking

but that will not bother me.

What will bother me

is being in the wrong place.

You and I will become out of alignment.

Disaster will follow.

Tell me about the sex again.

What?

- Okay.

- Vision?

I was thinking,

in case one of us drops dead,

we shouldn't leave anything unsaid.

I don't want to be in cardiac arrest

thinking I forgot to tell you something.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay.

The girls were really lucky

when they got you for a mother.

While it's true that every so often,

you get on my nerves,

I just want to say

that the things that bug me about you

have never meant anything

compared with how much I love you.

Your turn.

Hey, GUYS.

We've reached a conclusion.

This is nuts.

We've spent three days running around

on the word of a Gypsy psychic.

Alleged Gypsy psychic.

Well, it's all we had to go on,

so why not?

I know. I'm tired of it. I am.

I'm tired of it, too.

Hello?

Okay.

Carmen's had another vision.

between the ice cream parlor and the church.

- Can we do this?

- Let's go.

Thank you.

Okay, okay.

I really thought he'd be there.

What dog goes to church at 9:30?

He didn't say where he was going?

Sneaked out before I woke up.

And he just took your car?

Stole it.

Well, don't worry, He won't get far.

I got his plane ticket right here.

You all right?

No, I got it. I got it.

Here's Bryan now.

Hi, honey, You made it.

- Hey, Bryan.

- Thanks for everything.

- There he is.

- He's got a dog!

- Hey, guys.

- Oh, my God.

- I wasn't sure I'd make it.

- Oh, look.

You're one lucky dog.

- Carmen, thank you.

- Don't worry. Bye.

- I will keep looking.

- I'll see you on the plane.

Sorry about the car.

But I had to get to Norwood.

It was supposed to be his last day.

And you were right.

He was waiting for a man.

But I think he's your dog.

He doesn't have a name.

What do you think? Django junior?

I think I will call him DOC.

It's gonna be a little bumpy

till we get over the mountains.

I will never forgive you for this.

This isn't even a real airport.

There he is! Freeway!

He's down there! Oh, my God! I can see him!

- You see him? - Yes, he's down there.

We've got to go back.

- What are you doing?

- I'm gonna tell them!

No, no, no.

They're not gonna tum the plane around

because you think you saw a dog.

They'll have you arrested!

Joseph, I saw him.

What? You saw Freeway?

You saw Freeway!

Oh. my God!

I knew it! We're crashing! We're crashing!

- Oh, my God!

- Oh, God.

Wait, are you okay?

- Don't overdo it.

- Good plan, right?

Okay. I got it.

On three. One, two...

Oh, God! Help us!

Oh, please, help him!

Hurry, please!

I got it! I got it!

Hold him. I got him.

It's a hijacking!

What the hell is going on back there?

Something happened to my friend!

Shut Up!

I don't know.

- It's the appendix.

- Or it could be a kidney stone!

Are we gonna die? Tell me the truth!

No, ma'am, I've got a passenger in distress.

We have to get this man

to a hospital immediately.

Turn this plane around right now.

- Are you a doctor?

- Yes!

Look down. Look down.

Watch your stairs. There we go.

Watch your stairs.

There you go. Nice, deep breaths.

Okay, guys, yeah. Thanks.

All right, here we go.

Arm around me. Arm around me.

Come on. Come on.

What's the problem here?

This one said

that one's appendix was bursting.

No, no, I said I thought it was his appendix,

but now I think more it's a kidney stone,

You a doctor?

Yeah, yeah. Well.

You in a lot of pain, Joe?

Well, no question it hurls.

Or rather, it was hurting.

I feel you, brother.

Let's get you to the clinic.

Okay, okay, yeah. Thank you.

Watch your head now.

Nice work. What do we do now?

Here! Right here is where I saw him!

Okay, stop!

No, no, Beth!

Come on!

Freeway!

Here, Freeway!

- Freeway...

- Freeway!

Come on, Freeway!

- Freeway?

- Here, Freeway!

There! Right there! There they are!

Here's good. Yeah, thanks a million,

Sheriff. We'll never forget this.

Hope it doesn't cause you any problems.

No one's ever gonna know about it.

Hey, Carmen, wait up!

Freeway!

- Carmen?

- Bryan?

Freeway?

Come on, Freeway.

Freeway!

You see him?

I don't know.

Freeway!

Freeway!

Freeway!

Freeway!

Freeway!

Freeway!

Hello, Look at you.

Freeway, you're back!

I missed you.

Thank God.

- Gracie?

- Dad!

Are you guys still in the mountains?

What's going on?

Well, you know, we're having so much fun.

I'm so glad you guys

took a few days to unwind.

We've been having the best time.

I love being married.

Dad, how's Freeway?

Freeway?

Freeway's fine.

You're back!

You're back, I knew it, I knew it.

Beth, I'm so happy for you.

Shut up!
