And here's to many many happy birthdays to come

And I'll be at every one of them! Salud!

- Salud!

Brian, have you got any beer in the fridge?

- No.

Happy darling, would you like to come and ...

to a deli and see if we can pick up some beer?

There's a deli ... two blocks that way

oh it's in here, the elevator ...

Happy, I don't drink beer.

It's okay dear.

- I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I really wanted to come to the dinner.

- It's okay.

I called my mother the other day.

She ...

She didn't know

who I was at first.

She doesn't call me on my birthday

I'm sorry.

When is your birthday?

Uh ...

June 9th.

I was half a geezer,

when I had that boy.

He's been sweet

his whole life.

But he never had the family

the other kids did.

Everyone thought that we were

his grandparents.

He told his teacher once his real parents'd died in

a car crash and his grandparents took him on.

He did?

Well, he was confused I guess.

I don't blame him.

It wasn't disloyal, he was just trying to make

everything seem normal, I suppose.

But nothing's normal.

You guys seem pretty normal.

We're not.

You have a right to be worried I'm afraid.

I'm just afraid that I f***ed

everything up beyond repair.

Nothing's f***ed up.

Nothing's beyond repair.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Shall we go back?

This could use a wall light

or some kinda industrial screw.

The pipe looks strong enough, the rope looks

strong enough, leave the damn thing alone.

Welcome back girls.

Have a seat.

Now, Happy ...

For your benefit,

I want you to know that

For the kids when they were born I would

make a piata of a famous dictator,

Fill it with bitter honey.

John, uh, had Stalin.

James had Mussolini,

And Brian, had Pol Pot.

You see the progression?

And this is

Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Let's whack him. Now Happy, since May

can't exercise her own honour, I'm sure

She would want you to be the proxy whacker. Ok?

- Ok.

Blindfold her please.

- Yes sir.

Uhm Happy, you won't be able to break it

with the first burst. You're only going to ...

Put a start on it because of its

superior workmanship.

Over here.

Attagirl. Straight.

Here here, gimme that baby.

C'mon c'mon ...

Brian, there's a deuce loose in the caboose

and I'm not well-versed in that detail.

Champagne, cocktails, drinks ... c'mon everyone

we must drink up, today is one big f***in' day ...
