DANIEL:
You'll be spending

a lot of time in here.

This is gonna be your room.

There's some kind of animal being

de-liced or something.

Compression chamber.

That's your crib.

It's hermetically sealed.

And this is your paint color.

- What color is that, hon?

- KRISTI:
Jamaica Bay Blue.

Jamaica! And there you are.

- Hi.

- Yes, hi.

And there's your dad,

who's playing with his new toy

instead of helping me paint.

- Sorry. I can help.

- (SCOFFS)

- Yeah? Come on.

- (CHUCKLES) If I wasn't...

If I wasn't filming I would help.

Go and get the other ladder.

Yeah, you should have

a real ladder. That's... You know.

- (DOORBELL RINGS)

- All right, that's a...

- Who's that?

- Oh, it's my sister.

She's here to check out the nursery.

- Oh, Daniel, this is gorgeous.

- DANIEL:
Yeah?

This is so gorgeous.

I love it. I love the blue.

I'm glad y'all went with that.

It's much better than the green.

- How are you feeling?

- All right.

You know, I think I'm okay.

- How is he?

- Oh, he's doing so good.

He's kicking and, like, swimming.

- I feel like he's swimming.

- Hey, little fella!

- What did you say?

- DANIEL:
It's Hunter.

- No! Tyler. It's Tyler.

- I like that.

- It's Tyler Hunter.

- It's... (LAUGHS)

I like... I like both.

I don't wanna choose.

- I'm not gonna get into this.

- You have to. Come on.

In preparation for the big move,

I have a couple of boxes in my car

that I would

love to throw in your basement.

Please?

KATIE:
This is the last box.

DANIEL:
Really?

KATIE:
Probably.

- (DANIEL SIGHS)

- KATIE:
Oh, God!

DANIEL:
So, a little bit nervous?

No, I'm excited.

I spend all my time

over at Micah's anyway.

DANIEL:
VHS? That is old school.

- Do we have a VCR?

- DANIEL:
Uh...

I didn't even know

you had this much stuff.

Somehow I ended up with it

after Grandma Lois died.

I haven't even gone through it.

- How come you got it?

- I don't know. You can have it.

Nobody ever gives me anything.

DANIEL:
So who's gonna get

the top bunk?

- (KRISTI LAUGHING)

- KATIE:
We're not 12.

DANIEL:
We can get a VCR for free.

KRISTI:
You know,

I don't remember these at all.

DANIEL:
You guys didn't go Beta, huh?

(KRISTI LAUGHS)

DANIEL:
That's fine, okay?

I'm just gonna tape over an old one.

Can you get Abby out of here, please?

She's gonna get cut on the glass!

We just got back and the whole

place is pretty much destroyed.

Nothing seems to be actually missing.

It's just, everything's really...

That's what she's telling me.

Just make sure

we document everything.

Don't touch anything.

DANIEL:
This is our basement.

I don't see anything really broken.

(SIGHS) I don't see that box of tapes

that Katie brought over.

Looks like that's the

only thing that's missing.

(STATIC CRACKLING)

DENNIS:
All right and there she is.

The mother of the birthday girl,

my girlfriend...

JULIE:
Chocolate, chocolate,

rainbow stuff.

- That is a good-looking cake.

- Which is exactly what she wanted.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. And you're

beautiful. I don't know how you do it.

- (ALL SINGING HAPPYBIRTHDAY)

- Ooh! Are you okay?

Watch your backs!

JULIE:
Whoa! Watch your hair.

Good job.

(ALL CHEERING)

DENNIS:
All right,

and here's the birthday girl.

Oh, I found some.

DENNIS:
She looks pretty unhappy.

Something's going on.

We got the young one.

Under the trampoline.

LOIS:
Twenty bites and that's about all.

KATIE:
Twenty bites?

That's what my mother

used to make me do.

JULIE:
That's a lot of cake on that plate.

DENNIS:
Hey, Julie. Go get Kristi.

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

DENNIS:
Say hi, Kristi!

(SOFTLY) Hi.

(PEOPLE CHUCKLE)

DENNIS:
Kristi's a little shy.

Oh, that's cute. They love each other.

It's Grandma.

Happy, happy, happy birthday.

(SINGS HAPPYBIRTHDAY)

Never forget the day you were born.

I held you in my arms

and you made me laugh and cry

at the same time. You were so cute.

Serious piece of equipment,

so be careful.

LOIS:
How do you shoot

those weddings with this thing?

- It must hurt your back.

- Uh, it's something, uh...

You have to work certain parts of your...

I've only been here

for a few months, um...

But thank you

for welcoming me into your family.

Um, I...

- I just... I love you, and I love...

- Dennis, my shoulder.

...you so much. Happy birthday.

- LOIS:
Okay, take this thing now.

- All right.

DENNIS:
Whoa!

BOY:
Oh, my God!

(ALL LAUGHING)

DENNIS:
Katie, take it easy.

Take it easy. It's dead.

You're a little monster.

DENNIS:
All right, all right,

I got my camera.

Here, let me help you, 'cause I don't...

- I want to see the tooth full throttle.

- Okay, all right.

This thing's coming out today.

- Is it okay if I push it a little?

- No, no, don't push it.

DENNIS:
Lower lip.

JULIE:
Want some juice, babe?

DENNIS:
Down.

JULIE:
Here.

DENNIS:
Now... Oooh!

JULIE:
You want some of this?

KATIE:
Yeah, orange juice.

DENNIS:
Oh! That is...

That is a good one!

- DENNIS:
All right.

- Let's see this. Open up.

Don't push it with your tongue.

Let's see.

- "Ah!"

- DENNIS:
Ooh, it's ready.

- I think it might be...

- DENNIS:
It's ready.

You're gonna get a newjob as a dentist.

JULIE:
Oh, thank you.

You think I'm good?

Wrap it in a tissue, put it in your pocket,

and bring it home for...

- The Tooth Fairy.

- The Tooth Fairy, that's right.

And we'll put it

under your pillow, tonight.

DENNIS:
Wow. You like

the Tooth Fairy, right?

We love the Tooth Fairy.

DENNIS:
Why does he need a bowl?

Because he wants to eat.

- DENNIS:
He's hungry?

- Mmm-hmm.

Kristi, Toby isn't real.

- JULIE:
Hey. It doesn't matter.

- Yes, he is.

(WHISTLING)

My assistant Randy is currently

And this isn't the first time,

he's always late.

So, today we're gonna

play a little prank and see

if we can teach him a lesson.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Come on around the front door.

RANDY:
Come on, just open the garage.

Randy, I need your help, man.

Come around the front door.

RANDY:
Okay, okay.

- Hey. Whoa.

- Hey, man.

- Where were you? What happened?

- Sorry I'm late. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

- Hey.

- I got blocked in.

- I'm really sorry.

- That's all right, man.

I had a leak in the house.

I was hoping you'd get here sooner.

I had a leak in the ceiling here.

- Really?

- Yeah. Here, push this up here.

RANDY:
It didn't rain last night.

Hold this for a second. I need your help.

It's been going like crazy.

And I don't know what to do,

- so I got that pole there.

- Why is it white?

- What?

- Why is it white?

I don't know. I think it's maybe

something with the paint on this.

Anyway, I gotta get some spackle.

I'll be back.

- Wait, you just want me to...

- Hang on.

- You want me to wait here and hold it?

- Thanks, Randy.

Wait, Dennis.

I'm just supposed to wait here? Dennis.

Dennis!

- Hey.

- DENNIS:
Okay, girls, that's far enough.

Hey. No. Why don't you come on in

and hand me that ladder?

KATIE:
No.

KRISTI:
Mmm-mmm.

- Are you serious?

- KATIE:
I'm serious.

You know you don't have to listen to
