Ok, sure.

Thank you,

No problem.

Is he your parole officer or...

No. I'm not really sure what he is.

Me neither.

George I leave for two seconds.

I have our plans now,

and I think I might just pull this off.

Really?

Oh yeah.

Wow. So what's next?

I'm not going to tell you.

You told me to pretend your not here.

Not what I said.

I don't think you're

going to pull this off.

Wait and see.

Hey Marc, umm...

Thanks George, we need to go if

we're going to catch him awake.

You're going with option two?

I don't think I'm dressed

to kidnap the President.

So just follow my lead in there.

Don't believe anything he says about me.

Don't eat anything and most importantly,

we are not romantically involved.

I think I can handle that last part.

This is starting

to sound sketchy Casanova.

It's just a quick favor

for an old friend.

Ah, you said you weren't coming.

Gary, who is it?

It's the grim reaper,

I'm telling him he has the wrong house.

Come on Gary,

would I miss your birthday?

It was two days ago and who's she?

She's...

She's... a biographer,

you've such a colorful life

I just wanted to preserve.

Oh shut up.

So are you going to let us in?

I am so glad you came.

He's been disagreeable

ever since you called.

No I haven't.

I'm always like this.

Stop it.

Bad enough you have to be here.

But now you're bringing dates.

- Oh, she isn't...

- It's not a date,

unless it's a really terrible one.

Well, I'm sure Marc

is the perfect gentleman,

he's quite the romantic.

Stop inflating the kid's ego.

He has a hard enough time

fitting through the door as it is.

I remembered you're birthday

this year, Alzheimer's and all.

You gave me denture cream

wrapped in coffin brochures.

So ungrateful.

That's very sweet.

Isn't it time you gave him his present?

- Oh I like this girl.

- What?

Oh, I like this girl.

Oh yes, go ahead.

I don't think that now is quite right.

Oh, don't be shy.

He practiced it the

whole car ride over here.

You have a beautiful voice.

You wrote a song?

Oops, did I spoil the surprise?

Well, it's not quite finished.

Then sing what you have so far.

Ok.

You ready?

What?

She's a professional singer,

and she's been helping

me with the lyrics.

Most of them are her idea.

Really? This is so cool.

Birthday concert.

Yeah, you wouldn't believe how

pretty his falsetto voice is.

But I don't sing that way in this song.

I sing really low.

Yes, all the way down to tenor.

This is unbelievable.

Isn't it.

I do wish you'd stop bragging on me.

You're beginning to oversell

this very simple song.

Well get with it,

before I miss my next birthday,

or die, whichever comes first.

Ok, I guess we're really

going to sing now.

This is definitely not

what I would be doing

if you weren't here.

Ok here goes.

Did you get some saddle sores,

when you were riding dinosaurs?

I admit that makes me

a little jealous.

When you can't bend over right.

And it's getting hard to wipe.

When you can't eat what you want.

And have bowl problems.

Sorry.

Go eat some prunes, Captain prunes.

Scarf them down

and drink their juice.

For they really are a magical fruit.

Don't be sad.

Don't feel bad.

Go eat some prunes

before you're had.

And you'll start to feel like

your regular self again.

Keep going.

Gary you're not scary,

just don't go eating dairy.

It'll clog your arteries...

And you will die.

And though it may sound awful.

Just eat prune filled falafels

and you'll always be

my huggably handsome hero.

Nice.

Prunes, prunes, captain prune.

Prunes, prunes, captain Prunes.

Prunes, prunes, Captain Prune.

Prunes, prunes, Captain Prunes

Prunes... prunes, prunes.

You're old.

But not that old.

Yeah, you kinda are.

Wow, that sucked.

That was so fantastic.

Must have taken you guys forever.

All for you, Gary.

Mary, maybe you could get our

performers something to drink.

Course.

Alright, Sinatra, where's the goods?

What?

You and I both know that little

who ha wasn't my present,

so where is it?

I... I am shocked.

After all this time we spent

putting this together for you?

Frankly, I resent the greediness.

So help me,

I will show this girl your book.

- You wouldn't?

- What book?

If you think I'm whistling Dixie,

you just try me mister.

You better go get it.

I don't think he believes you.

You're going to love this.

Alright!

Oh, how I've missed you pastrami.

May the cholesterol

go straight to your brain.

Here's hoping.

All we have is cranberry juice.

I hope that's ok.

Did I miss something?

Nope.

What is that smell?

Why didn't I get a glass?

Because, you don't go to bed if you do.

I'm not a child, and I want

something to drink please.

Well fine, I'll water it down for you.

Did you want a full cup Gary?

Yes.

See I don't think you should

have a full cup,

you know with you're little problem.

Fine, use your best judgment.

If I was doing that

I wouldn't be getting you juice.

For heaven's sake woman,

I'll get it myself.

Thanks for being subtle.

They don't know what the problem is.

Right, and they'll need

a wind talker to break the code.

He's cute.

He's available.

What was that book he wanted to show me?

Oh, probably any number

of embarrassing books.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You're going to pretend

like you didn't just put that

in your pocket?

Well...

Put it back.

It's not what it looks like.

Right, you were just rescuing it.

- Yeah Kinda.

- Put it back.

Shhh....

I'm not going to spill just let me...

What are you two up to?

I really like the arrangement

here with the right angles.

I couldn't see it

from down there, but it

really brings out the um...

Nice try kid.

I tried to give you more time.

You were in on this?

Sure, it's just a silly game they play.

Whoever has Mortimer wins.

And this week,

loser has to shave his legs.

I told him, I am not

helping him out with that.

Be here tomorrow for breakfast.

Mary, get your camera.

Well. Three weeks in a row.

Now you should be....

Alright, I got dirt on you too old man.

- I dare you to say another word.

- Oh, kill joy.

Is that the book

you didn't want me to see?

One of them.

What's the other one, your novel?

He wrote a novel?

It's so good.

It's this romantic little story.

Look if we're talking

about this I'm leaving.

Oh come on, it's nothing

to be ashamed of.

It's so beautiful.

The way Diane and Heath fight for love.

I know and when

they're on separate boats

and they can't get off.

It sounds really cute.

I told you not to let Mary read it.

I won't say anything about it.

I'm sorry.

I'll put the book away.

Are you really going to walk out now?

I didn't give up on you.

It is really steamy though,

here I'll let you borrow it.

What is this?

Is this pastrami?

Huh? Huh?

Is this pastrami?

Huh? Huh?

Don't, you've been clean so long.

Wait!

Gary, you know it's not good for you.

Do you really want another heart attack?

Huh?

Fine!

You want to play rough,

if you take a bite.
