to the Watchdawg launch.
Well, why don't you
give it to her yourself?
'Cause she won't take it
from me.
She won't even answer her phone,
return my calls.
I wonder why.
Hey, I didn't steal that money,
all right? I was borrowing it.
I was doing everything I could
to save her business.
You were trying
to help yourself.
Well, the two aren't
mutually exclusive.
What you did is not some sort
of Robin Hood thing.
I mean, it was selfish.
It was wrong.
And frankly, it's the same sh*t you've
been doing to her since she was a kid.
Look, I'm a father
and I'm not gonna apologize
for trying to give my daughter
a great life.
You could have just mailed that.
What?
Your stupid invite...
You didn't have to come here
I mean, this isn't seventh grade.
Um...
I wanted to see you.
It's the tits, right?
Excuse me?
Are they too low?
What are you talking about?
Well, 'cause, you know,
and I thought it was
really good.
And I don't know
what you thought,
but you got to my tits
and you shut down.
Would you stop saying
that word?
- Tits?
- Yeah.
Phoebe, I think you're terrific,
but the tough guy talk...
it just sells you short.
And I shut down
because you're my daughter's friend.
And the tits are fine, all right?
They're not too high.
They're not too low.
They're just right where you want them.
# Happy birthday. #
Can I meet you guys at the table
in one second?
- Okay, happy birthday. Love you.
- Happy birthday. We'll be right here.
We've got news.
Big news.
You're pregnant?
No, we're moving to Tampa.
- Tampa?
- I just want to relax
enjoying my husband
for a while.
Wait, what's this really about?
We got an offer on the house...
furniture, cars, everything as-is.
So the only thing left
is your little blue house.
And with any luck,
we're gonna sell that today.
- Wait, to who?
- To you.
The price is $1.
Make the check payable
to Jerry King.
Guys, this is really
not necessary.
Sweetie, I think it's adorable
that you're working in a coffee shop,
but you had a career,
and a good one.
I will get back
to saving the world at some point,
but right now
I just need a break.
This is not a break.
This is a cop-out.
Claire, your mother loves you.
She just doesn't want to see you make
the same mistake she did.
Letting Robert Axle ruin her life?
Not forgiving him.
I'd better go back to work.
G54.
- I26.
- Oh, this is for you.
It's from your dad.
He came by my school.
You still talk to my dad?
G49.
I kissed him, okay?
You kissed him?
I'm sorry.
I really feel like crap. I just...
- You should feel like crap.
- Donna, you're not helping.
I'm not trying to help. After everything
he's done, she's being nice to him?
O61.
It's just that he makes me feel,
like, funnier than I thought I was
and less hideous.
B5.
I don't know, it just felt good
not to be pissed off.
I'm sorry.
Bingo!
I got bingo.
Bingo.
What's next
for one of the most prolific
and unpredictable inventors
in modern history?
In the room today,
financial movers and shakers,
also the tech-savvy
parents and kids
who are just excited
to see this latest invention.
Did I tell you
we're having a boy?
No, Matt, you didn't.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You know, Matt, I haven't said it.
I really ought to before I go out there.
Not a lot of people would have
It means a lot to me.
Thank you so much.
I won't let you down.
Axle, I didn't take
'cause I'm a good guy.
I did it because
I honestly believe
that you're gonna make me
one of the richest men in the world.
Sorry I'm late.
Hey, Sheila.
The traffic was brutal.
I had to go back by the office
and pick up your lucky picture.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Mr. Robert Axle.
Thank you very much.
Good afternoon.
From the moment
they are conceived,
our greatest fear as parents
is losing our child.
We do everything we can
to keep them near us
and keep them safe.
But sometimes they slip away.
It can happen in shopping malls,
airports.
You know, the...
the truth is
it's not always the kids that get lost.
Sometimes it's us...
the grown-ups, the parent.
And that's certainly true for me.
You see, I was convicted
of gross negligence
because of a product.
I mean, you all know that.
is gross negligence
as a father.
And so here I am
giving you another
Robert Axle fabrication,
which is the last thing
I should be doing.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Watchdawg is a good product.
It serves a purpose.
I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it.
But it's a Band-Aid.
It's not gonna solve
the disconnect I have with my daughter
or the disconnect that any of us
have with our kids.
I mean, do we really need
another toy
to keep our kids distracted
so that we can feel free
to take our eye off the ball?
We have to learn
to connect to our kids
without the need for this
or the thousands
to distract ourselves from being
the best parent we can be.
'Cause this...
this isn't the answer
for me anymore.
Sorry I missed your birthday.
How was it?
Good.
But I'm not
much of a birthday girl.
I see. I keep learning new things
about Claire Elizabeth every day...
not much of a birthday girl.
It's Claire Axle.
I'm kind of over the whole
Claire Elizabeth thing.
I'm glad to hear that.
Axle!
You gotta get back there, man.
Matt's going out of his mind.
Why? Does he want to sue me?
Sue you?
He wants to back you.
Back me for what?
Ideas, inventions, consulting.
He doesn't care.
Well, you tell Matt
I appreciate the gesture,
but I've got to get a job...
a real job.
You've got a real job, Dad.
You're a fabricator.
Okay, I'm in.
But you tell him
that at the moment
I'm taking a walk with my daughter.
So you go back and work that room
for me, partner,
and I'll join up with you
as soon as I can.
I'm on it.
# You and I
look good together... #
No, you're going b...
# This day is getting #
# A lot better #
# Let's get inside #
# Out of this weather #
# There is no one #
# Than me, my dear... #
Does that guy Troy
have a girlfriend?
Are you serious
or are you just trying to freak me out?
A little of both.
# When I first met you, love #
# We held hands
# And I'll never let you go #
freaked out that you were black #
# And now I'm just like a kitten #
# And I'm rolling around
in the grass #
# Come here,
# I'm about to tap that ass #
# I'm in love #
# With you #
# Ooh, I'm in love #
# With you #
- # You're my woman #
- # All we need #
- # I'm in love with you #
- # All we need is love #
- # And that's all we need #
- # All we need #
- # Is love #
- # Is love #
