You just gotta update your status.

Update my status.

- Update my status.

- The YOUniverse will assist.

My man!

Dad?

What's up!?

- Hey.

- Hey.

I can't believe you're here.

What are you doing here?

Dude, I don't even know.

I woke up and I was like, I gotta get out of here.

I gotta go, I gotta go, so I just did.

I don't know, I got on a plane.

Boom, I'm here.

- Wow.

- Hey, why aren't you driving Born to Run?

Mom says I have to get a job first.

Heard that before. Listen, grab a sponge, all right?

Can't have ladies getting in a dirty ride.

You got it.

- So tell me something, what's been happening?

- Oh, you don't even know.

I've been skating and surfing every day,

12 hours a day sometimes.

Hey! Anna Banana, how are you doing?

Hey, killer, you want to give us a second?

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

You look great.

I forgot what those scrubs do to you.

So great.

I'm tellin' you, these waves

were toppin' out like at 30 feet.

30 feet! That's like as big as this house!

I mean that's huge!

I don't think you truly

appreciate how big this is.

Annie, give 'em the arm wave,

show 'em, show 'em.

All right, this is me

on my board, right?

This is the 30-foot wave, look

at that! This is to scale, Maxi.

Ugh, ugh, shred, shred, bleed,

bleed, pull, snap through. Thanks Ann.

And they were just coming, one after the other.

And I surfed 'em, all day, all day, Allen!

Into the evening, even.

Then I fell asleep to the sounds of that angry ocean,

just pounding the beach.

It was pretty great.

Wake up the next day and

we did it all again. What?

It was one of the best times I've ever had

in my entire life. Except for the time...

you and I rebuilt the Alpha Romeo.

That was the best time I ever had in my life.

- Hey, agreed! Born to Run!

- Born to Run! Cheers to that, my man.

Well, it's good to have you back dad,

now Kyle has a shoulder to cry on.

Maxi, chill out.

- So, Darryl, what do you plan on doing for work here?

- Well, I connected with an old skate buddy of mine,

who's got his own brand out here in New Haven.

He's gonna hook me up with a job doin' graphics.

It's a real job.

So I hit the ground running tomorrow.

But, tonight, I just want to say,

that I am so happy to be here,

hanging out, with that sexy,

little surfer chick, I met 22 years ago.

Do you remember that girl?

Anna Banana, I think her name was?

- Sort of.

- Anna Banana.

Annie, Kyle, Maxi...

I love you guys.

There's no other place in the

universe I'd rather be.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

- Cheers.

Cheers, Allen.

So what did I do?

What would you do?

All right, YOUniverse...

let's make some moves.

Thank you, Doris.

- I want another shot.

- Huh?

I want another shot.

Uh, you want a Castrato role now? I don't think

you're gonna like the requirements very much.

You, suck!

See, that's how it's actually, done,

because I'm actually classically trained.

All right? Now get out of here.

Hey, can I borrow that?

One, two, one two three

Oh yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Never had much faith in love or miracles

Never wanna put my heart on the line

Swimming in your water is something spiritual

I'm born again every time you spend the night

'Cause your sex takes me to paradise

Yeah your sex takes me to paradise

And it shows

Yeah yeah yeah

'Cause you make me feel like

I've been locked out of heaven

For to long

For to long

Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You bring me to my knees, you make me testify

Yeah you can make a sinner change his ways

Open up your gates 'cause

I can't wait to see the light

And right there is where I wanna stay

'Cause your sex takes me to paradise

Yeah your sex takes me to paradise

And it shows

yeah yeah yeah

'Cause you make me feel like

I've been locked out of heaven

For to long

For to long

Yeah you make me feel like

I've been locked out of heaven

For to long

For to long

And you make me feel like

I've been locked out of heaven

For to long

For to long

'Cause you make me feel like

I've been locked out of heaven

For to long

For to long

Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What did you think?

I had no idea what to expect after yesterday.

But oh my God, you friggin' killed it.

I'm so happy.

I hated singing with Brian.

The best part was watching Massey freak,

and then Mr. Moody kick him out of chorus! So good!

Since when did my brother

get so many friends?

And who has the non-dairy,

chocolate, caramel latte?

Oh, that would be me,

the lactose intolerant one.

Can't drink milk, because it goes through me

like lava through a Philippine village, just~

Just really thick.

Would you like to go out sometime?

No, thanks.

Is it because of the diarrhea?

Brian's here.

Let's go, outside, you and me, right now.

Brian, just go away.

You no longer have the privilege

of speaking to me.

And when I'm selling out the Garden...

- you'll all be kissing my waxed, platinum butt cheeks.

- Brian!

- Zip it, GiGi Haddada!

- All right, that's it!

- Kyle, don't, this is stupid.

- No, it's okay.

Let's go.

Brian!

Brian, don't do this!

Kyle!

Guys, come on!

One rule... no touching my face.

This is my money maker.

Whoa.

I am so gonna cream you!

Somebody turn it up

Somebody turn it up

Somebody turn it up

Somebody turn it up

Somebody turn it up

Somebody turn it up

Be like water,

making its way through cracks.

- You're dead!

- Kyle!

Point taken. I'm good.

- Here you go, Gramps.

- Thank you.

Hey, Anime...

I don't know what's going on with this look,

but I am digging it, big time.

Our daughter is wearing a dog collar.

Darryl, um, how was your first day?

It went well. Yeah, it's just

a wait-and-see game now.

What do you mean, wait and see?

I thought you said you had the job.

I do, I do, I just had

to meet my boy's partner.

Big dog and pony show,

you know how it is.

Don't worry, I got the job, okay?

Hey, killer, what gives?

We were supposed to meet down

at the skate park today. You stood me up.

Sorry about that,

I got caught up.

He got into a fight.

You got in a fight?

- Yeah, oh, yes.

- Maxi.

You dropped him like a bad

habit, too, didn't you?

- It wasn't a big deal, Mom.

- Um, it is a big deal.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you fighting?

Relax, okay?

There's nothing wrong with him,

there's not a scratch on him.

He's looking good, he's walking tall.

I taught my son not to act like that.

Well, apparently he does,

and he wins.

Give me some.

Mom, I'm fine,

and it won't happen again.

- Can I be excused?

- Where you going?

Meeting up with a friend.

Friends, singing in the chorus, fighting,

you're not that cool, dude.

Get out of here, have fun,

enjoy your date.

Thanks. Thank you, Dad.

And try not to get in any fights.

See what I did.

Hey hold on a second,

why don't you take the Alpha.

You're the best, Dad!

I am the best.

What?

Okay, where are we going?

If you could do, anything... in the world,
