Do you know

where RJ's summer pants are?

I have to put

an outfit on RJ. Where...

My summer pants?

Yeah, I'm looking

for your summer pants, buddy.

Emily.

We really should have

labeled the boxes.

I didn't realize that

we had this much stuff.

All right. Well, I guess he's

just gonna fry to death out there

'cause all we have is

like wintry, fleecy stuff.

I mean, I feel like we could

get rid of half this sh*t.

Yeah, well, you know. Come on.

It's LA, dude.

It's every day sunshine.

Are you wearing that

to a child's birthday party?

- Oh, come on.

- It's little crazy at work.

I really want to get

a jump on things.

Really?

Yeah. I'm sorry. Is that cool?

Honey.

I thought this was gonna be

like our chance to meet people.

Just this one time.

I mean, you go to work

and you talk to people.

- Honey.

- I don't talk to people.

- And it's weird.

- Alex...

I know.

- Like, I'm a grown-up person...

- -I know.

- ... like, going and...

- -I know.

Am I supposed to just ask other

grownups if they want to be friends?

You could.

- You could start there.

- Sweetie, stop.

- You could.

- That's crazy.

It's not crazy.

I... Seriously, am I...

Am I seven years old?

You're not seven years old.

How do you not worry

about this stuff?

'Cause I don't need

anybody else.

I got everything I need

under this roof.

Well, that's

a nice thing to say.

Yeah, it's true.

All right. Well...

Good luck with the summer pants.

Stop saying summer pants.

It's your... It's your word.

No, it's not.

You started saying it first.

No. I think

they're called shorts.

Ah, why did I cut those off into shorts.

What am I doing?

My son looks like an idiot.

All right, f*** you, too.

Hey, bud.

You having fun?

- Not really.

- You wanna go home?

But I just got here.

- What?

- Hi!

- Hey.

- Hey, handsome boys.

- Hi.

- You came.

Look what I got.

What's in here?

- Oh, my God.

- Gummy worms.

- Gummy worms!

- Oh, jeez.

- See?

- Of course.

Look at that, huh?

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

I know, I was just at work. I was feeling very

guilty, I wasn't getting any work done, so...

- I came to play.

- That's really nice.

- Really nice.

- Thanks.

Oh, my gosh.

That's what I'm talking about.

Gummy worms and kids, huh?

It's like chumming

the ocean for sharks.

- You're a genius.

- Yeah.

Hey, buddy.

Hold on. What's...

What's going on?

- Who's, um...

- I don't know.

What is this guy...

- Why...

- I don't know.

- Why is he talking to RJ?

- I don't know.

- Should you go talk to him?

- Should I?

- Maybe?

- I don't know.

I mean, if he's gonna...

Oh, here he comes. He's coming.

He's coming. He's coming.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- -Good.

Is that boy yours over there?

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad I caught this.

This, my friend, is a pest that

wreaks havoc in little boys' bellies.

I don't know where he got it from, but I

wanted to bring it to your attention.

Oh.

Well, thank you. That would've

been terrible if he ate it.

Yeah.

My son Max is

on a strict vegan diet.

- Oh.

- And a cleanse.

Just kidding. I'm Kurt.

Hey, I'm Alex. This is

Emily, my wife. -Emily.

Emily, Alex, pleasure.

How are you?

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

So you guys part

of the birthday party or...

Oh, no, no. This is our usual park.

We come here every day.

Oh, cool.

How about you? I haven't seen you in

the neighborhood You new around here?

Yeah, we just moved here

from Seattle.

- Two week in.

- Two weeks.

Wow. Well, welcome.

You guys picked the coolest

area in Los Angeles.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Absolutely.

You know, we heard

that this is where

the younger people

with kids were living.

- This park's f***ing fantastic.

- Uh-huh.

You've got two oyster bars.

One of which is the sh*t.

- That's great.

- Shops...

My wife and I moved here about

two years ago. We love it.

- Wow.

- Cool. Awesome.

That's great.

Wow.

Max has really taken

a shine to your boy.

He's very discerning,

doesn't make friends easily.

- RJ is actually the same way.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Really?

Where's he going

to school in the fall?

Um...

Have you guys taken

your tours yet?

- Tours?

- Touring the schools?

Yeah. Go around, look at them.

Okay. Well, I get a little

bit crazy about that stuff.

Yeah, another...

It's all coming up.

Just as long as you get your

applications in early, you'll be fine.

If you need a letter

of recommendation,

I'm sort of the mayor of this area,

so I can absolutely help you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Great.

- Great people.

- All right.

All right. See you.

- Bye.

- See you.

You know,

we have more to discuss.

Tonight is our regular

pizza night.

We could turn it into a "welcome

to the neighborhood" get-together.

I can give you the one on one on

the schools in the area and...

It could be fun.

- Huh.

- -I'm just throwing it out there.

Uh, yeah, I mean, that's really nice,

but you shouldn't feel obligated.

- Obligated-shmobligated.

- -No.

Our boys seem to love each other

and we love making new friends.

It's not an obligation.

It's fun...

- You know, yes. Yeah.

- I...

That actually sounds like

a lot of fun, right?

Yeah. Sure.

And Alex was just talking this morning

about wanting to make new friends.

- Get out of here.

- -Mm-hmm.

Great. Well, why don't you

come over at like 5:00, 5:30?

We're at 1983 Cameron Court.

- Done. Thank you.

- Awesome.

- Awesome. Great.

- That's really nice.

See you there. -And listen,

do not bring anything.

Just bring yourselves. We have

everything covered, okay? No cheating.

Going to Whole Foods now,

any dietary restrictions?

- I don't think so.

- Screw it.

You guys, I'm so excited. Yay!

All right.
