Did you guys ever see that movie

The Beach with Leonardo...

I love that movie... -Oh, that

makes me not wanna go to Thailand.

- They shot it there, right?

- Yeah, they did.

That's all I have to say. -Can I

say something that is so weird?

Can I just say something, and not to keep

bringing up, like kicking a dead horse here?

- Yeah.

- But...

The whole water filter thing came

from watching the movie The Beach.

What?

I said, "Why can't they

drink water like we can?

" -Whoa!

From The Beach?

- That movie?

- -What does he say?

And I just brought

that movie up?

- Too weird.

- That's so crazy.

Guys, I think this night

was sort of meant to be.

That's like...

There's a lot of synchronicity. -Our

stars right now are a constellation.

- I know...

- Yes.

What would our

constellation be called?

Oh, sh*t! What time is it?

I have my phone.

- What? 4:
00? 5:00?

- 4:
00?

You guys!

- It's almost 6:
00 a. m.

- -What?

All right. This has been fun.

- I have to work today.

- -Oh, God.

I have to go to work today.

I know, we gotta go.

Really, time to go.

So, this is it.

We're gonna call it?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Yeah.

Uh, that can't be the

last time we get together.

Oh, no way! We'll...

We'll do something. -Yeah.

Hm, yeah, certainly the

strangest night of my life.

But it's also been

very... expanding.

Yeah. I feel good.

I mean, I'm exhausted,

but I feel good.

- Yeah, me too.

- Mm. Me three.

Count me in.

All right.

Good night. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- You... you... I'm sorry.

- Emily?

- So many hugs.

- Yeah, I know. You're welcome.

- Hey, group hug.

- Yes.

Okay.

Hmm.

Hmm.

- Thank you.

- -This is nice.

Mmm. It's really nice.

It's nice.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Sh*t! Under the covers!

- Mommy?

- -Oh, hey, guys, hey!

Wow! Morning!

How'd you guys sleep, huh?

- Hey, who wants breakfast?

- -Me!

Let's go. I'll get it for you.

Come on, it's a beautiful day.

Were you guys wrestling?

- F***!

- -Yeah, we were just wrestling.

- Who won?

- It was a tie.

God! Get your...

Get dressed! Get dressed!

Get dressed! Get...

- Medium dogs are pussies.

- No, I saw the other day...

Okay.

But earlier today, did you not see

the schnauzer that was here earlier?

- Yeah.

- You know what a...

- Yeah, I like...

- His hair, it's hypoallergenic.

I enjoy a good schnauzer

every now and again.

Yeah, but I think that could be fun.

They're not small...

But are you hearing...

Are you hearing me when I say

if you're gonna get a dog,

you should get a dog.

- Go big or go home.

- Yes.

I want RJ to grow

up with a big dog.

Oh, my gosh, do you see them?

Oh, sh*t! Holy...

Okay.

- Do you think it's time to do this?

- I guess so.

Should we go say hi? -I mean,

it was inevitable, right, so...

- Do they see us?

- Now they did.

- Yeah, all right.

- Get up.

- Hey, guys...

- -Hey!

You don't write, you don't call,

you're breaking my heart.

Sorry, I'm just kidding,

dumb joke.

- How are ya?

- Good.

- Good. Yeah.

- How are you guys?

- Oh, it's good, it's really...

- We're in therapy.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Sorry to be the one to

cut the crap here, but...

Basically we've decided to give

the marriage another chance.

Mmhmm. -We've been able to

sort through a ton of stuff.

That sounds great. -We've got

you guys to thank for that.

Yeah.

Without that experience

we'd be lost, really.

Really. Thank you, you walked us

down the aisle to this moment.

- It was a crazy experience.

- Uh-huh.

- But it was, you know...

- Yeah.

- It was valuable.

- Yes.

- It's good to see you guys.

- Thank you, you too.

Yeah. -Yeah, you've changed

something in your face.

- You know, it wasn't very California.

- -Yeah.

After a while, I was like, I don't

see anyone else doing this. -Right.

- Maybe I should stop, so...

- -Right.

You know, I was planning

on calling you guys.

I, you know...

I was thinking about that.

I just wasn't quite

sure what to say.

- So...

- Don't worry about it.

We should grab dinner

or something.

- Totally.

- You know?

Yeah, we should, maybe

at your house this time.

Yeah, you could come, or we could

go to a restaurant this time?

- We found some great places.

- Totally. Yeah.

Looks like the boys have kind of

picked up where they last left off.

Yes.

- Gettin' dirty.

- Shall we say hi?

Let's go say hi.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

So, uh...

- Sold all my art.

- All of it?

- Yep.

- Who bought that?

My wife.
