What?

Contempt.

You know, I hate what you're

doing to the memory of us.

Acting like what we had together

wasn't real, and it was real.

You know, maybe it didn't last,

but it was real at the time.

Stick with 'em. Stick with 'em.

I know it was real. You're right.

When Melinda left me,

she said the same thing.

She said that... Said she didn't

like the way I spoke to her.

- She wants to have kids.

- Wow.

Can I do that? I'm 42.

Can I be having babies now?

Of course you can. You're

a great father, you know.

Why wouldn't you?

I thought you'd freak.

If she makes you happy,

just try and work things out.

Don't do what I did.

You're not seeing your guy anymore?

No.

And one and two and three and four.

And one and two and three and four.

You know, I'm going to Hawaii for Christmas.

- You are?

- What?

- You are?

- I'm taking the kids.

- Are you going to Oahu?

- Yeah.

Did you call Kyle?

You know, I haven't yet.

Maybe I will when I get there.

What if he's still with someone?

You know, if he's moved on,

then that's fine.

We'll still have a wonderful week there.

And Will will get to surf, and so will I.

- So, how's packing going?

- Good.

Jess wants to know if Santa will

be able to find us in Hawaii.

- What did you tell her?

- I told her yes.

Smart move. Here's sunblock.

- Kyle called.

- Kyle called?

About an hour ago.

Kyle Hamilton? Did he leave a message?

He said not to try him.

He said he'd call back.

Thanks.

So, the surfer closer to the

break gets the right of way.

And the break is the white part of the wave.

- I know what the break is, Mom.

- Do you, now?

Merry Christmas!

- Hey!

- Hi.

Thank you for having us.

I'm keeping it simple

this year. I ordered pizza.

Pizza! That's perfect.

It's freezing.

There it is.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no. I'm getting it.

You guys are not gonna believe this.

Jackie, you have guests.

Hi.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Hi.

I'm... I'm taking Will and Jess

to Hawaii tomorrow for Christmas.

You're kidding me.

No. The whole Christmas vacation.

And my friends came over

early to celebrate Christmas.

And this is Annie.

- Hey. It's a pleasure to meet you, Annie.

- And you. Yeah.

Jackie, this is Sabrina.

I'm sorry. Hello.

My sister.

- Hi.

- So nice to meet you.

You, too. I've heard so much about you.

What are you doing here?

Business. There was a surf and

ski expo at the Denver Center.

I love this.

Oh, my God, you are lit up.

I've never seen you look happier.

- He does that to me.

- He is beautiful.

- What is today?

- Today?

What is today, my fine fellow?

Today? Why, it's Christmas Day.

It's Christmas Day! Yes!

Excuse me.

Take a look.

- What is it?

- Open it.

Wow! Is this yours? It's beautiful.

I didn't think you were

ever going to leave the rock.

Well, you weren't coming back,

so I had to figure something out.

The surf expo was a good

excuse to come find you.

Well, you look so professional.

- What have you been doing?

- Acting my age, I guess.

Me, too.

You look great.

I can't believe that we're going to

Hawaii, and you're not gonna be there.

I'll be there.

Good sticks.

I learned it in high

school. Is that what I say?

So, where did you...

So, where did you...

Where did you learn to take...

I'm sorry.

I can't do it that way.

Marker.

What?

Take the sunglasses off.

Thank you.

- I said... Yeah.

- What do I say?

Does that hurt?

- No, it doesn't hurt.

- Does that? Or does that?

That's sweet. That's cool.

Sorry.

And look like this?

Hi, hi.

Is it great? Does it look great?

I forgot I was working with him. Sorry.

Sorry.

Not home.

So good.

Look who has their

commercial on Logo Channel.

- Scene.

- And cut!
