Hello, It's Me

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Come on, guys.

Come on, kick it, Milo!

Go, go! Go! Oh!

(LAUGHING)

A little help, honey?

Sure.

I got it! I got him!

- I got him! I got him!

- (GROANING)

Go! Go! Go!

Go, go, it's all you!

Go, Milo!

- ALL:
Goal!

- Yes!

World Cup champions!

(ALL CHEERING)

(CHUCKLES) That's it!

- Goal!

- (GRUNTS)

(LAUGHING)

Goal!

- Goal!

- Yay!

- You're next, Annie!

- No, I am not next.

You're not allowed to

throw me into the goal. No.

No.

I hope we got all that.

(PANTING)

Last day of summer.

Anything else to say

before I turn this off?

Just that this has been

the best day of my life.

You say that every day.

'Cause it's true.

You are seriously the cheesiest

person I have ever met.

And that's why you love me.

I know.

- (CAMERA BEEPS)

- Oh, battery's dying.

Say goodbye to summer.

Bye.

(BEEPS)

I guess we should pack up.

If you don't mind, I'm going to

take the boat out one more time.

Okay. I'll see you at home.

- Love you.

- I love you.

Mommy, could I have

a cookie now?

Not until your Dad gets back

from sailing, okay?

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Hey, it's me.

I just put the kids to bed.

It's getting late and I'm worried

about this storm. Where are you?

(PHONE RINGING)

Andre?

Yes.

(SOBBING)

No.

Mom, the cookies are

burning!

What? Oh, no!

Oh, shoot!

Oh, no. Shoot!

Oh, my gosh.

Great.

Now I'm a batch behind.

(SIGHS)

What?

- Nothing.

- Oh...

I promised I would take you and

Maddy to the mall, didn't I?

Okay. Okay, no,

I can make this work.

Okay.

You know,

Maddy just texted me.

She said she can't make it.

Really?

Okay, well, maybe you could have her

come over and just kick the ball around?

Soccer tryouts are

next week, aren't they?

I don't know.

I'm not trying out.

You're not?

I thought you changed

your mind.

I bought you those cleats.

I don't need them.

Maybe you could spend

the money on, let's see...

Tickets to ComicFest?

Oh, sweetie, not this again.

Well, tickets just went on

sale like five minutes ago.

If we don't hurry,

it'll be like...

I told you, you're not going

until you're older.

Technically, I'm older than

the last time I asked.

Not quite yet.

Okay, okay.

Hey, since you're staying,

do you think I could get some help?

I'm so far behind.

Please.

(SIGHS)

Come on, you used

to love baking with me.

You used to love baking.

MILO:
I'm hungry.

I know. We'll stop

and get something to eat

as soon as I drop these off.

Or I can have a cookie.

Uh, no, sweetie,

these are for work.

Daddy would've let me

sneak a cookie.

Dad would've taken me

to ComicFest.

I know.

I wish he were here too.

Can we go to the beach

on the way, Mom?

No, I really have to do

this for work, sweetie.

There's not enough time.

Come on, it's on the way,

just five minutes.

Please? Please?

Okay.

Real quick. Okay.

Let's get this up, guys.

(GRUNTS)

Yes! In you go.

Daddy loved it here.

I loved it here, too.

I can't believe

it's been two years.

Can we watch the video?

Sweetie, there's not really time.

We have to get going.

But Mom, I want to see Dad.

Okay.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Just that this has been

the best day of my life.

ANNIE:
You say that every

day.

'Cause it's true.

ANNIE:
You are seriously the

cheesiest person I've ever met.

ANDRE:
And that's why

you love me.

I miss him.

I miss him, too.

- Say goodbye to summer.

- Bye.

Come on.

- Mom.

- Yeah, sweetheart?

How could you let me

have hair so stupid?

(CHUCKLES)

You mean the "I have

to have this hairstyle

or I'm never speaking

to you again" hair?

I'm so sorry.

(CHUCKLES)

(ENGINE CRANKING)

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no!

What do all

of those lights mean?

It means we have

to call a cab.

Can I go collect some rocks?

Five minutes. Stay where

I can see you, okay?

- Okay.

- (ENGINE CRANKING)

Oh...

Milo, come on. The cab's

here.

WOMAN:

Everyone is here, James.

What kind of host arrives

late to his own party?

The kind that doesn't

care about...

- (TIRES SCREECHING)

- (ANNIE SCREAMING)

Oh!

ANNIE:
Are you okay?

Are you all right?

What's the matter with you?

What were you thinking?

I'm so sorry. You must've

been in my blind spot.

We were right behind you.

That's not a blind spot,

that's a "pretty sure you were

on your cell phone" spot.

Technically, yes

I was on my phone,

but I was on a speakerphone,

so totally legal.

- So you're a lawyer.

- No.

No, not a lawyer.

Okay. Well, it doesn't

matter.

All right. You should just

be more careful next time.

- Yeah. You could've killed us.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad I didn't,

and I'm glad

that you're all okay.

Well, we are.

Unfortunately...

Yeah.

What exactly is all this?

It's an entire day's pay,

that's what it is.

Well, let me cover

the cost of that, please.

No, thank you.

I don't want your money.

(CHUCKLES)

What?

Nothing, I just, uh...

I don't hear that very

often.

ANNIE:
Well,

you're hearing it now.

You need to be more careful.

- There are a lot of kids around here.

- JAMES:
You're right.

Want one?

Mom makes a lot

of fancy stuff,

but her cookies are

the best in the whole world.

And this one didn't even

touch the ground.

Well, thank you

very much, young man.

Would you at least let me drive

you to wherever you wanna go?

This is our cab.

Well, let me cover

the cost of the cab.

- No, thank you.

- I insist.

Okay.

This is for the fare.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Really? Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Whoa!

Is this where Batman lives?

- Hi, Ericka.

- Hi.

Milo, Ella, there is a room

at the end of the hall

with a fully-loaded Xbox.

And I'll bring you guys something

to eat in a few minutes, okay?

Sweet!

Can't I just stay in here?

Just give me and your mom a few minutes.

Okay, sweetie?

Come on, Milo,

I'll kick your butt at the dancing game.

MILO:
You said a bad word!

It's only a bad word

if you're seven.

Cool. Then I'll say it

when I'm eight!

Hey.

What happened?

We stopped at the beach,

and then the car wouldn't start,

and then some rich guy almost hit

us with his gazillion-dollar car.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN:
James, I thought

you'd never arrive.

Mother.

I want to introduce you

to a new friend of mine.

Oh, you're on a date?

That's great!

Does that mean I'm going

to have a new daddy?

(CHUCKLES)

Don't be ridiculous, James.

- She's for you.

- Oh.

Her name is Susan Slater.

She went to Sarah Lawrence

and she's perfect.

Is this someone

you actually know?

I know of her, close enough.

Mother, for the last time,

I don't need your help

finding a girlfriend.

No, just finding a wife.

I'm just trying to

help you stop traipsing

around the world

and settle down.

I very seldom traipse,

Mother.

You know what I mean, James.

I'm more of

a gallivantor, really.

(CHUCKLING) Stop trying to be cute,

James.

You need to think

about your future.

Financially,

I'm doing just fine.

You know what I mean.

Look, in two weeks,

I'm going to Hong Kong.

After that, Paris.

That's as much future
