Where the hell have you been?

I got sick.

Oh. She said she got sick.

I just, uh...

I just need to... I've

got to go and do something.

It's okay, baby.

Hon.

- I was just leaving.

- Wait...

What's going on with you?

- What's going on with me?

- Yeah.

I saw you.

I saw you.

So right now I don't

even want to look at you.

Let's just quietly talk

about this for a second.

Talk about what? I'm

sorry, talk about what?

I don't know.

People grow together, they grow

apart. It's always shifting.

Oh, right. Three decades

of marriage to Mom

and you're going to describe

what I saw as shifting?

Wait.

- Hey. You okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. Savannah and Theo

- want to talk to us.

- About what?

- I don't know. Come here.

- Okay.

Oh, good, there you are. So...

Theo and I have been talking it over

and even though you guys

aren't technically married...

You know, you're doing the

whole Goldie Hawn thing.

You know, you've been

together the longest

and you are young

- and you are fun...

- So fun.

And, you know, if we're being

responsible, you're stable.

And what we wanted to ask you is...

- Is...

- Ready?

Would you be our baby's godparents?

Whoa!

- Are you kidding?

No.

- Sure...

- Yeah, we would.

We would be honored.

- See, I told you.

- Is it official?

You are looking at

Juppiter's godparents.

- There they are.

- Juppiter?

Yeah, nobody has that name.

- No one.

- Oddly.

I bet not.

Like the planet. Except

two "P's," two "P's. "

You know, I think this is

going to be really good for me.

Me too.

It's like you're having your

bachelorette party but at a seminar.

Yeah.

Maybe you'll get a shark too.

Maybe.

All right, bye.

Drive safe.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hello?

Hey, what up? It's Annika.

Uh, huge emergency,

could you come down to my

school and pretend to be my mom?

Whoa, what?

Yeah, I'm supposed to have this

parent/teacher conference today,

but I threw the note out.

So my counselor said

she's gonna call my dad,

but he will be super pissy if

he has to come sit down here.

So I told them my mom already knew

about it but was just running late,

so basically my point is,

could you just come down here

and pretend to care about

me for like 10 minutes?

I'll owe you,

and I know I already

owe you for the beer,

but I will really, really owe you.

But, but I don't look related to you.

Maybe I'm adopted. What

the f*** does she know?

Probably not much.

So will you come?

- Hi.

- My God, you actually came through.

And you have the fake wedding ring.

Nice touch.

Mrs. Hunter?

Hey.

Hello.

So, I'm becoming concerned that

Annika is not taking

steps towards her future.

Got it.

Well, I'll be sure to talk

to her about it at home.

So, we're good here?

Mrs. Hunter, I realize you must

have a very busy life. But...

I was hoping that we could

all come up with a plan today.

Okay, sure. A plan. Do you have one?

Oh, uh...

I don't know. I mean...

It kind of seems stupid

to plan that far in advance

when you're just gonna change

your mind anyway, right?

I mean, say you had a kid,

and then you realize you

didn't really want the kid.

Was there a pregnancy?

No, she's talking about her mom. Me.

Her mom.

And as her mom, I'd say that...

I'm sure it does seem kind of stupid

to make some sort of rigid

plan for the future. But...

It's stupider not to start

paying attention to who you are

and what makes you happy.

Otherwise, you just float.

So...

There's the start of her plan.

Good meeting, Mrs. Halpsky. You've

given us a lot to think about.

Yes, well... Yes.

So this is kind of an

interesting job to have, huh?

What kind of licensing does it take?

Are you questioning my qualifications?

No. No. Never mind. I...

I was just curious. Come on.

You worked her over.

You can take that stuff off now,

you know. She totally bought it.

Remember half an hour ago when

you said you'd really owe me?

Holy sh*t. You collect fast.

I need to lay low for a

week. Your dad works, right?

So, my dad usually

comes home around 7:00,

but he's going to some lame,

divorcee mixer, so he'll be late.

This is the living room.

And this...

Ooh, this is Lynn.

- Jesus Christ.

- Yeah...

My mom bought her when

she was Finding Nemo

'cause she thought that

turtle was cute, but...

Then she realized that

this kind doesn't swim.

So she ditched you,

too, didn't she, Lynn?

You don't really have

to do anything for her.

Just don't step on her.

She likes to hide back here.

Do I need to feed her?

Um, you can try, but we're

pretty sure she's an anorexic.

Cool pet.

So, this is the kitchen. You can

basically eat whatever you want.

But this is his box of wine.

So if you have some, use the funnel

with the Tupperware and fill it

up with a little bit of water.

It's what we do. I don't

think he really notices.

And tonight, this guy Dan

has invited some people over

'cause his parents are out of town. So

if you want to do that, we can do it.

- And then we'll just sneak you back in.

- Okay.

And I'm using Humid. It's

a really gorgeous green.

Under. Yeah,

on the edge. All right.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

You know, I always

wanted to try a smoky eye.

But I thought it might

be too much on me.

I don't know. I like it.

Hey!

- Whoa! You're supposed to knock.

- Write a letter. I don't know you.

- Megan.

- Craig.

She's a new friend.

You're supposed to be at that mixer.

Yeah, well, I came home to change

so I don't look like a lawyer.

Wow.

High school students are looking

rougher and rougher these days.

Just graduated.

God, you can be rude sometimes.

Look, she's a new friend, okay?

We're just gonna go to the movies.

Right well, let me know if

the teen vampire gets the girl.

And be home by 10. I know I'll be.

You know, why doesn't he just stay

out if he wants to be less lonely?

I don't know. Come on.

I'm the life Of the party

Every time I show up, life of the

party Every time I blow up, hey

Is this turning into a college party?

Where's the f***ing beer? This way?

Junior!

- What's up?

- Hey.

Long time no see since Econ.

Yeah, that goes on around him all night.

Yo. Yo, Annika!

- Hey.

- Hey.

Oh, yeah, let's do this!

It's not a party till we start.

Who's gonna help me get this going!

Here.

Yeah. This is definitely

having people over.

Oh, yeah. I've always loved Neil Young.

I just discovered him.

Okay, I'm gonna put the ice cube.

It's gonna be good.

Okay, on the count of three. One...

Two!

Okay, girls. We need the hoop.

Come on. Hand it over. Yeah, thank you.

Hey, I think it's past your

curfew, so we should probably go.

This is my mom.

Wow, that's your mom?

Yeah, she models for catalogues now.

I've come across them before. I

don't even know who she is anymore.

You don't see her?

We did phone calls for a bit.

It didn't really last.

Do you know where she is?

There's an address. On the child

support check she sends my dad.

He puts them in a box

labeled, "No, thanks. "
