worry about with me.

So do you want to listen

to our song one more time?

Knock yourself out.

Come on. Hurry.

Hey?

Wait up.

You gotta see this.

See what?

Shh.

Isn't it beautiful?

Look at it.

Yeah.

When I was little I used to

imagine that...

all my fears were

in the belly of the sun

and when the sun

would finally go down,

my fears would go down with it.

Do you know what

I was afraid of?

No.

Being alone.

I love this place.

I used to come

here for the summer

with my Grandpa Ed.

He has a soft serve ice

cream machine out in back

and we would sit

on the front porch

and eat ice cream

cones all day.

What's your flavor?

Ohh, I don't know.

Mint chip, maybe.

You don't look like

a mint chipper.

What am I then?

You're more of a Pralines

and Cream type person.

Pralines and Cream...

I think they're sexy.

It's not bad.

Rub your fingers

through my hair.

That feels good.

Do you know what today is?

Friday.

Funny.

It's our anniversary.

Our anniversary?

It was two months ago

today that you hired me.

And as I recall, just three

days later that you...

fired me.

And fire you I did. Twice.

You violated some

federal labor law I think.

I think I violated

more than that.

Two whole months!

You know, 'The Twelve Steps

to a Happy New Year'...

It says that if you can make it

through all of the holidays

with someone

you've found your mate.

Really?

Yup.

And if you can survive

New Year's Eve

then that says it all.

That Dr. Fisher. I tell ya.

We've only got Groundhog

Day under our belt.

President's Day, too, I think.

That doesn't really

count, though.

Father's Day is coming up.

Ooh, it's been a long,

long day.

We should hit the-

It's late. We should?

How do you feel?

I feel?

A little bloated

from the pasta...

I'm not really an Alfredo guy.

No. I mean about me? About us?

You feel our connection, right?

You know, it's hard for me

to think that I'd be here

if we didn't have

some sort of connection.

Yeah. Some feeling,

somewhere. Right?

I mean, we have fun together

and you make me laugh.

Make you laugh?

Yeah. You make me laugh.

Is that so wrong?

Is that so bad?

Make you laugh how?

I dunno. Like 'Hardy har har. '

Well then laugh it up,

Mr. Backer! Laugh it up!

I'll show you who's

the funny one around here.

Who's laughing now, huh?

What's so funny now?

I'll teach you to mess with me.

Guerrilla training my ass!

I am Kong.

I love you.

I can't believe

I just said that.

But I do. I said it.

I love you! I love you!

I love you, Norman.

You're not going

to say it back?

We've had a lot to drink.

Ah come on,

where are you going?

I shouldn't have said it!

I'm such an idiot!

Listen, you're over reacting.

It's no big deal

that you said that.

No big deal?

A woman tells you

that she loves you

and you say it's "no big deal"?

Listen, I'm just saying

I'm alright with you saying it.

I'm okay that you said it.

So you're okay that I love you?

If you're okay with it

and just having a hard time

telling me, that's okay.

I can help you.

I want you to look deep within

yourself when I ask you this.

Okay?

Do you love me?

Come on...

Oh my God! What is my problem?

Why do I keep doing

this to myself?

Why?! You know what?

Forget what I said

about loving you.

Forget it!

- Where are you going?

- I'm going to bed!

Dori, let's not get

all crazy, alright?

Your bedroom is upstairs,

down the hall!

The sheets are in the wash!

Happy anniversary, a**hole!

Holy f***ing sh*t.

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.

Did you sleep okay?

Yeah, I suppose. Considering.

Sorry, you won't find any

reception way out here.

Have a seat.

Breakfast is almost ready.

What kind of juice

do you like? Apple or orange?

Whichever is fine.

Orange it is.

Uh oh... are you still

upset about last night?

Yeah. I'd rather

just forget about it.

It never happened.

Oh, we need to talk about it.

It was our first argument

and how we handle it

will set the foundation

for our relationship.

It's critical we deal

with this carefully.

Now, I think we can

both agree that alcohol

played a big roll

in our actions.

However, I, for one,

am not going to use

that as an excuse.

Albert! Play nicely with Dolly!

So, with that said, Norman,

I am really sorry for

what happened last night.

That felt better.

How about you?

Dori, what's the

deal with the kids?

My eggs! I hope you're hungry.

I've fixed my world

famous Denver omelette.

To be honest,

it's not really mine.

It's my Grandpa Ed's...

It's a secret family recipe.

Oh, what the hell,

I can tell you.

I use Canadian bacon

instead of ham.

Albert!

Stop riling up your sister.

You know she's got asthma!

I find Canadian bacon holds

its flavor better than ham.

Here. Take a bite.

I'm anxious to see

what you think.

This is not really

the weekend I had in mind.

Let's not forget

our manners, Norman.

Those kids...

They don't have a father.

I figured it would be nice

to bring them up here

so they can enjoy the place.

That's very charitable of you,

but did you have

to pick this weekend?

- You've got a little something.

- - Jesus, Dori. Listen.

I gave up a lot to be here.

The least you could do is

tell me we'd be babysitting

someone's kids.

Hey Mom, when's breakfast?

It's ready. Go wash up.

Aren't they adorable?

Mommy! Albert is playing

with his food.

Shut up!

Mommy! Albert said a bad word.

"Shut" is not a bad word.

'Sh*t' is.

Albert, what did I say

about your language?

Now both of you

eat your breakfast.

Hi. I'm Albert.

Norman.

Nice to finally meet you.

How are you with percentages?

What?

Do you know your percentages?

I'm doing them

in school right now.

Yeah, I know my percentages.

Do you know them,

know them as in 'real world'

application know them?

Be nice, Albert.

Mom! I've got

a boatload of homework.

If this guy's shaky on his

percentages then I gotta know.

I told you that

I know my percentages.

What more do you want?

Are you done with

your Denver omelette?

Sure.

Isn't Dolly a good girl?

The best.

You know, Mom, this isn't

really a Denver omelets

because you're not using ham.

I am using ham,

just not American ham.

I'm using Canadian ham.

Where's Canada?

North.

Like by the North Pole?

Next to Santa Claus?

Yeah, sure. Right up

next to Old St. Nick.

Oh, thank you for reminding me.

Dude. You're lying.

What are you talking about?

You know what

I'm talking about?

Santa Claus...

What's wrong with Santa Claus?

Norman!

I didn't say anything.

Jesus god?

Why don't you two

go outside and play?

Can we give Norman

his surprises first?

Oh, I suppose we can.

I'll get the balloon

and the presents.

I'm gonna get my special card.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day, Dori?

I know, I know.

A holiday created

by Madison Avenue.

But I can't help myself.

I'm a hopeless romantic.

Don't worry if you forgot.

You wanna go give

Norman his card?

I made this for you in class.

And I made this for you with
