[moaning]

I thought I had them

in this pocket.

- What, your phone?

- No, my keys.

- My house key.

- Oh, no.

- You lost them?

- Oh, got it.

Um..

[chuckling]

Hey.

- Why are you up?

- It's morning.

Where were you?

Oh, I just, uh,

took Karen home.

How is she?

Nicholas.

How is Karen?

Uh, I don't know

what you mean.

You don't?

She's alive.

[dog whimpers]

Come on, Max.

Uh, what time

did you guys get in?

Ma? You're not gonna

answer me?

What does it matter

what time we got in?

Why are you pissed?

Well, good morning.

You smell.

Okay.

Well,

I'm going to go to bed.

I did that. Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

- I loved that job.

- You did?

Yeah, I actually did.

Like..

[indistinct chatter]

Let's see.

Let's give you this one.

Hey, Miss Floy.

Mm!

- Look who it is.

- Hey.

I'll take that.

Is this free?

- Yeah, yeah.

- I'm gonna use this.

That's just

orange juice there.

Aren't you hot?

You're wearing

a sweater too.

Hey.

- You want some juice?

- Yeah.

Perfect.

Um, silverware?

Oh, this,

this drawer right here.

[laughing]

Last night..

What do you think

of this guy?

It should be

the other way around.

- Michael?

- No.

Um..

I don't know.

He's nice enough, right?

- I feel bad.

- No, you're fine.

And if that's

the real question or not.

If it is..

I don't know

how to behave.

- Chris, can you get these?

- Yeah.

- I can do it.

- Chris!

- Ma, I'm doing it.

- What?

He's doing it.

You hear her?

What?

Oh,

who needs some coffee?

- I'll have one.

- I have some.

We should say

something.

- I think...

- No, no, I think I'm gonna say something.

No, no, no, no.

It's fine.

What? No, no, no, no.

Just a little.

[glass clinking]

I just want to say

a little something

in honor of our

new guest.

Happy birthday,

Michael.

We are very happy

to have you here.

Very happy.

Thank you.

And, of course, to, uh..

To little,

uh, uh, Zachary.

Um, who's also here.

To Michael and..

...to, um..

...this..

...special..

...thing that's happening

right before our eyes.

Even though..

...we're desperately trying

not to notice, it is.

And I think it's right

that we celebrate that.

So, to Michael and mom.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Hear, hear.

You wanna say something,

Michael?

You don't have

to say anything.

I think you're

doing great.

Thank you.

Nothing?

- Would you like me to?

- Yeah.

Sure. Uh..

This has gotta be

really hard.

Ah..

I thank you for

welcoming me here.

Uh, however you have.

It can't have been easy.

I understand that.

And it had to call on

some reserves.

And I had

a great dinner.

And you were very nice

to my guy.

So, thank you.

Hear, hear.

To Michael.

- To Michael.

- To Michael.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

It's hard to know,

you know, what to..

It's right to ce...

to celebrate it in..

...some f***ing way,

but it's..

I don't know what to say.

- You did great.

- Thank you.

It's not like

there's, uh..

It's not like

there's a card for..

...good luck with your

new relationship

older people.

That's enough, Nicholas.

It's hard to know, isn't it?

It's hard to know what to say.

Stop!

Thank you.

Zach, uh,

you wanna help me clear?

[sighs]

- You're so selfish.

- Nick.

- You're so self...

- Nick!

Shut up.

Where are you..

Wait. Wait!

- Let her go! Nick.

- You should've asked.

- You should've asked!

- Don't do that to her!

- Dick!

- You should have asked!

- Ah!

- Nicholas! Nicholas, no!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Come on!

Nicholas! Ugh!

- Come on! Come on!

- Get off him, Nick!

- Get off him!

- Goddamn it!

Oh!

Jackass.

[breathing heavily]

And, um, he comes along

and he..

...he's got his

own tricks.

He's got a few of his

own tricks up his sleeve.

I mean,

he can walk on water.

He can turn water

into wine.

Ain't he? Uh, you get

what I'm saying?

I think everything he did

was kind of a step down

from the old man.

Like..

...water into wine?

Congratulations,

that's a great trick.

Um... you... he, your dad

made both of those

out of hydrogen

and oxygen

which he also made..

...out of sh*t

that he made

out of sh*t that he made

that we don't

even know about yet.

Um, okay,

so Jesus multiplied

a bunch of bread

and fishes.

Like, that's a great trick

if your dad is David Blaine.

But, um..

...that ain't sh*t

when we're talking about

wormholes, and antimatter.

That's like,

that's some

Frank Sinatra, Jr. sh*t

right there

is what I call that.

That's not even..

That's not even

Julian Lennon.

That's like a Sean Lennon

body of work.

"Hey, Dad."

"What?"

"Um, uh,

I make cabinets."

"I want..

You want an armoire?"

"I created light."

"Back off, moron."

I don't know, I just feel,

I lost my dad

so I feel a little..

It's hard

to live up to him.

Maybe that's coloring

my thoughts right now.

Uh, apple falls far

from the tree sometimes.

I did, um, I did,

I just lost my dad.

Uh, my father

passed away.

That's something that Jesus

never had to deal with.

One of the perks

of dying at 33.

When your dad's

immortal anyway, like..

He didn't have

to go through this.

Or like,

sell a house ever.

Jesus never had

to do that.

And I feel like,

oh, if my dad just died

I'm starting to worry about

myself 'cause I've heard

that kind of thing runs

in the family, you know?

Anybody else

lose anybody recently?

Yeah, it sucks.

My dad, gone.

Just like,

that whole stick figure

just wiped off

the back of my minivan.

That must be a sad job

down at the gas station.

That takes an auto detailer

with a certain finesse

to be able to, like,

scrape the family member

off the back of the..

...van.

Um, but you know,

it's tough.

It's tough when you go

through losing a loved one.

Someone you grew up with

someone you admire

or hate or..

...hatemire.

Um, and then, like,

you... you

you put them away

forever.

Put 'em away? What? I don't think

that's the right terminology.

Yep.

Put that away.

That's the wo..

I don't underst..

When you have the ashes,

what are we saving them for?

Uh, it's a bit like,

it's a ho..

It's like, when you save

ornaments for Christmas

but it's not every year.

Every 50 years,
