Helicopter Mom Page #8

into coming down here.

My mom is insane.

You need to leave.

No! My son is trying to teach me

a lesson about meddling,

but you should stay. Because

this is all about you, right?

No... Do you like

Italian food, Dan?

Yeah, I love Italian fo...

Come here.

Wow.

How was that?

Good. Come here.

Uh

Now, please go home.

You should not be here.

I...

No.

Come on, Carrie, let's go.

Derek, listen.

I am so sorry.

I have been lying to you

this whole time.

My mom submitted me for the

scholarship without my knowledge.

I do not deserve it.

You should give it

to somebody who does.

I'm really sorry.

Wait.

What?

Are you telling me...

You're not gay?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Honestly, I

why is everybody so intent

on putting a label on me?

I have no idea IF I'm gay

or straight.

I'd never even kissed anybody

until about 30 seconds ago,

okay?

I don't know.

Is that all right?

Good night.

Come on.

Lloyd!

Yes?

You can just kiss

New York goodbye

because I can't pay for it.

I cannot pay for it.

And you just made it completely

clear you don't want my help.

I don't want your help.

No, I really don't.

IF I wanna go to NYU,

I will save up the money

on my own

and I will get myself there.

It's not even about NYU.

I don't care about NYU.

I just wanted to get as far away

from you as I could.

Well, now you all know me.

I'm principal Mackie,

and, uh, well, I'd just like to

welcome all you

Woodbridge students,

uh, to our prom.

And now,

Barbara wolf will announce

the winners of prom court!

I know that there is something

that we have all been

waiting for...

Who our prom king and queen

are tonight!

Here we go.

Oh, my gosh!

My own baby, Carrie wolf,

is prom queen!

Oh, I'm so proud of her!

Carrie wolf and...

Prom king is Lloyd Cooper?

Yeah-ha-ha-hah!

Whoo!

Carrie?

They left.

Son of a mother shh-ackin' son

my mother f-fist in the...

Oh, It's fine.

Our winners.

Oh, It's all...

Yes. Oh, yes.

Barbara wolf Says,

"enjoy your starry,

starry magical night."

Dance, shoo, go everyone, dance!

What, I'm your mother!

I know where you are

at all times!

Let me tie your shoes.

What do you think about

when you...

Are you seeing anyone?

Let me do up that shirt for you.

When was your first kiss?

I love you.

I'm never gonna leave you.

Do you... dust?

Lloyd, are you gay?

You ready?

So ready.

All right.

Hey!

What's she doin' here?

Wow.

You thought I was just gonna let

you go without saying goodbye?

Come here.

Oh, I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

Hey, listen, thank you.

For what?

For being my friend, really.

I wish it happened sooner,

but...

Better late than never, right?

Yeah.

I, um...

I got you something.

Oh!

Yes.

Little going-away present.

I've, um...

I've been saving up.

N-New York City is, like,

super super expensive.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you kidding me?

I can't... I can't take this.

Yes! Yes!

It's yours. And the next time

I find myself in New York City,

you can pay me back by letting

me crash at your place,

for life.

You know I got the scholarship,

right?

W-what? Wait, how?

How did this happen?

Well, apparently, bisexual

or questioning still qualifies.

Derek was super-impressed

that he was honest,

so that clinched the deal.

Doing the right thing paid off,

who knew?

Lloyd

Oh, my God!

I'm so happy for you.

Here, here, here, here,

please. Come on.

No, no, you know what?

Take it, you know?

I-I still want a place

to stay,

and the scholarship

won't cover everything, so...

You are just the best.

You're just the best.

Come here. Mm.

Ah.

All right, get out of here

before I take you with me.

Mm, I wish you would.

You all right?

Yeah.

Are you crying?

Maybe.

What's wrong with a dad bein'

sad his kid's goin' away?

Come here.

You're goin'.

You're gonna fly.

I love you.

I love you, too, dad.

You are gonna kick ass

in that town.

You are just... you are not

gonna believe it.

It's such a cool place.

Can't wait.

You are gonna have the most fun.

I will.

Wait!

I'm right here, mom!

A couple things.

I gotta go or I'm gonna

miss my flight, okay?

I know, I know. Here.

Okay.

Did you pack your I.D.?

Yeah.

Warm clothes?

Yes.

It's winter there, you know.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm good.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Even all your wildly

inappropriate stories.

Come here.

I love you, mom.

I love you, too.

I love you.

Okay, we're gonna let go, okay?

Okay.

On three, two, one.

Let's do three, two, one, ready?

Three, two, one.

Okay.

Good. Good. Oh.

Oh, I wasn't ready.

Okay, that's okay.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

See? There you go.

I love you, mom.

Okay.

Hey.

Huh?

You don't hate me, huh?

No.

Okay.

He doesn't hate me.

Good.

Keep an eye on her,

all right, Carrie?

Absolutely.

Bye, Lloyd.

Bye.

Bye.

Okay.

Surprise!

Hey!

Hi!

Hi.

Happy Birthday.

My birthday's not for another

six months. You know that.

Yeah, but the security guard

I had to bribe downstairs

does not.

Uh-huh.

Hi.

What are you doing

in New York City?

Well, I had these frequent flyer

Miles I had to use,

so I just thought,

"I'll come see my son!"

You don't have

frequent flyer Miles, though.

No, I don't.

No.

But your dad does.

And, uh, he's downstairs.

Right now?

Yeah.

'Cause, um, we're here together.

Really?

Yeah.

Mom, that's so good to hear.

It's okay, huh?

That's great, yeah!

Okay.

Um, so do you wanna have dinner?

No, yeah, that'd be great.

Really?

Yeah, yeah, of course!

Okay. We made

a reservation and...

Perfect!

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

It's really great in here.

Reservations for how many?

Mom?
