As you might've guessed,

I had no trouble getting the house

in the divorce settlement.

I've met the guy before a couple times.

He's very nice.

Hello, Andy.

Welcome. Welcome. Please, come in.

Nice place. Big.

Thank you.

Um, so we had a really nice trip.

I think Billy enjoyed it.

At least I hope he did.

He'll be right down.

Or you can go up. How you been?

Oh, uh, I'm good.

Hello, Andy.

Oh, hey, Thel.

How are you?

Good. You look good.

Thank you.

Hows everything?

Oh, everything...

I can show you around.

You gotta see my room.

Yeah. Yeah.

Go ahead. Go ahead. See you guys later.

Hey, get your dad something to drink.

Nice guy. Howard.

Yeah, I really like him.

I mean, He's not as great as you,

but if you and mom had to split up...

Hey, hey. I want you to like him.

Dont worry about that.

Hey, I got you something.

Oh, great. You didnt have to do that.

Yeah, right, Dopey.

Ah.

Whoa. Dope.

Ha. This is some room, Dopey.

Yeah, you know, Howard

has lots of money, so...

Yeah, thats good quality.

Whew.

Listen, Dad, about this weekend.

Mm-hmm?

Do you think it'd be okay

if I didnt come stay with you?

Its just this guy in my class,

my first new friend at this school,

has a country house and

invited me for the weekend.

Oh. No, go have fun with your friends.

Its not that I dont

want to hang out with you.

No. No. Hey, you know.

Youre getting older now,

you have things to

do with your friends.

Yeah, its just for this weekend.

Are you sure you understand?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Go, have a great time.

- Go.

- All right.

Hey, give me my present.

Oh, this? No, no.

Dad, I know its a basketball.

Its okay. I dont have one from you.

This isnt for you.

Uh, I'm definitely

giving you something,

but I just forgot to bring it.

I'm sorry. I'll get it to you.

Really, Dad, it doesnt matter.

If you bought it for

me, Id like to have it.

But I didnt, Bill.

Didnt you understand what I said?

This isnt for you.

This is for somebody

I have to see after... Later.

Sorry.

I'm real sorry you cant stay.

Yeah, me, too. Wish I could. L...

Yeah. Hey, uh, Andy?

Um...

Look, um...

All right, you have a great son.

And I also care about him a great deal,

and I hope thats okay.

Now, um, I've been very

fortunate in my life,

and its my pleasure to give to Billy,

but if youre not

comfortable with that...

You give, uh, whatever you like.

Whatever you got. Lots.

You know, He's a good

kid. Its good of you to...

Yeah, thanks. I gotta go.

That was a good day.

Oh, while we were gone, Otis came in.

I don't know.

He's my friend, I love the guy,

and, yeah, I'm

apologizing ahead of time,

but hang in there.

No one loves women more than me.

I like women more than I like men.

I like women so much

that I cant understand

why theyre not all lesbians.

I'm not related to the guy.

I'm discouraged, God damn it!

I hear you, Andy.

Youve got to give it

a different kind of try.

He's not reading that paper.

Not that.

This is America.

Anythings possible!

Think, Andy! Think!

Whatever he comes up

with, were not in.

You have a great son.

Good job. We can do this.

Thank you, Otis.

I'm with you, Otis. You said it.
