Because they have hit.

Housing market. Yuki Noguchi, NPR news.

Hey. There he is!

I... I'd get out of the car,

but that truck driver's honking at me.

No problem.

Sir, could you pop the trunk, please?

Oh, uh, this is jammed. Uh...

Do you want me to put 'em

in the back seat?

- No, take the key. Take the key, please.

- Take the key. Okay.

Take the key. Just pop it.

- Be one sec. He's gonna, he's...

- Sir, there's no keyhole back here.

Okay. Let me have the key back, then.

Just put the stuff in the back seat.

- Back seat, you got it.

- Thank you.

Got you a Starbucks. Worth it, right?

Thanks, thanks,

but I may need to stay sleepy.

Oh. Okay. Stayed up all night

with the surgery books?

Yeah, and the electric blinds

programmed wrong.

Oh. Well, this car,

ah, the seats recline all the way back

if you just pull the handle.

I can do it for you if you want.

No, I'm... I'm good.

Got seat heaters, too.

Just press the button.

But it's summertime, so...

Yeah, my seat... My seat's fine.

Well, we should be there in 45 minutes

to an hour, thirty, so...

Think about reclining it.

It's there for you if you want it.

And also I would crank up the AC,

you just gimme a nod.

- That was a nod. Okay.

- That was an AC nod.

Oh, it was the AC nod.

I thought you were nod...

All right, let's see

how the window goes for a bit,

and then we'll get the AC going.

How we doin' with the AC? You good still?

You don't need it, right?

I'm just talking gas-wise,

it's better off.

I'm just saying, AC would be great.

You say it and we... We'll turn it on.

I said it.

That's right. 100%.

I'll just hit the switch

and it's blasting.

It's really hot in here.

It's getting there, right?

All right, go to sleep.

It's hard to sleep

'cause of all the noise.

- Yeah. All right.

- From outside.

How's this? Let me turn it on for you.

- Better?

- Yeah.

- Okay, let's turn it off.

- Then...

This is Dr. Cortice.

Yes, all ready.

Uh-huh. The suite?

There he is! You almost gave me

a heart attack. Mr. Last Minute, huh?

What, you forgot?

We're supposed to have a meeting

about Saturday.

This guy you married.

I'm gonna bring this man up to his room.

Hi, Dr. Cortice.

Oh, stop with the "Doctor."

Just call me Kirby.

Look, just don't call him "Dad"

or Kenny will plotz.

- That's not true. That's not true.

- You look gorgeous.

I've seen her in the dress.

You're gonna have a seizure.

You know what?

You guys do what you gotta do.

I'm gonna hit the room.

And I'll catch you later.

Oh, no. I'm gonna bring you

up to the room.

Oh, come on, Pop. He's a big boy. Come on.

Hanan, you're gonna bring him...

We gotta talk down the running order.

And where's the magician?

We have a magician?

Yes, we do, honey.

He's great. He goes table to table.

He's gonna double as the emcee, too.

He does it all.

Kenny, did you ever ask Sarah

if she's good with the magician?

What? Now she doesn't like magicians?

- Ah, here's Kent!

- Apologies, folks. Is this the bride?

- Yes.

- Ah, pleasure.

I'm gonna have a heart attack!

You see what I mean, huh?

Kent, take 'em through the night.

Cocktails. I'll be going around

with the light stuff:

cards, coins, foam balls.

Keep it simple.

Wait. Magic during the cocktails?

Well, you want people to stay

interested, right?

- What, you think they're gonna be bored?

- I don't know.

It's a fast-moving world out there.

You got computers, cellular telephones...

May I continue?

Yes.

Wedding, photos, reception line,

"Folks, if you'll find your way

to your tables,"

crowd-work,

"Is this your card, madam?"

Boom, cheers,

"Who's the next victim?" Laughs,

"Oh, I see you've forgotten this,"

pulls card from pocket,

screams,

"Sir, I see you really love your queens."

Big laughs.

"And now for the real stars of our show,"

- cue band.

- DJ.

- Cue DJ.

- Yes.

Introduction, bridesmaids, groomsmen.

We're gonna come out in pairs.

And who's this?

"This" is the bride's best friend.

We choreographed an entrance.

It's gonna be to "Don't Stop Believin'."

- That sounds amazing.

- Right?

- So obvious, you gotta love it.

- Yes. High camp.

- You know what'd be hysterical?

- I know what you're thinking, Glen.

- Dry ice.

- Yes.

He knows his stuff.

What the...

TV, color.

Refrigerator is here.

Mmm-hmm.

Toaster. Four slice.

For exercise.

Or to hang myself.

Is there anything else I can get for you?

You know what? I'm gonna go to bed.

Long night.

So, all you did was just pull on the cord?

I didn't pull on anything.

I didn't touch it. I breathed on it.

That's interesting,

because I remember when we suggested

the reinforced ceilings,

you didn't wanna go for that.

No.

And why does the hotel have a painting

of your grandma hanging up?

Oh. That's not my grandma.

That painting came with the room.

But she looks just like you.

Does she?

I take that as a compliment 'cause

that's a very attractive woman there.

But it's not my grandma.

So, what does Rose call you?

What are you to her?

Sister's father-in-law?

Well, that's what he is,

that's not what you call him.

- Who folded the chair?

- Oh! It was blocking the path.

Well, did you know

that his hands are insured?

He's very important.

I mean, honestly, you don't have to move

the old man for me.

Oh, no, no, no. He's happy wherever he is.

Don't worry about that, pal.

Dr. C needin' his own space.

Hey, Pop. Uh...

You flew into New York yesterday?

Yeah, it was a weather thing.

A weather thing in LA?

Hey, I'm here.

I took my room at the Shits Carlton.

Got a chandelier to the skull,

just like I requested.

So, any celebrities you've worked on?

- You mean, like, surgery?

- Yes.

Yeah, I can't really speak

about the ones that aren't public.

But you know Rosie O'Donnell?

Oh, my... Debbie! Rosie McDonald!

- What? What?

- He did the heart.

Was she nice? She doesn't seem happy.

Well, she was asleep most of the time

I was with her.

Oh! Well, you see, that's rude.

Ma, he means the anesthesia.

Of course!

Are you sure you wanna be part

of this crazy family?

No.

Sorry, guys. Remember, the loud laughing,

it's a trigger.

Are we really not gonna talk

about this now?

No, Dad,

I'm not gonna have a prenup.

She's a nice girl. But...

She's a nice girl,

but come on, look around,

these people are broke.

Oh, uh, one second.

- Hey, Kenny.

- Yeah?

Kenny. Real quick.

- Oh. All right! Small problem.

- Yeah?

I'll fix it. Just...

I'll shoot over to the hotel.

- Okay.

- I'll go with ya.

No, no, no! You hang out here! You relax!

It definitely burns.

Yes. It's killing me.

Ask him. I mean, he's not a urologist,

but I'm sure he'd take a look.

I'm going with you.

Okay, gotta run over to the hotel.

Be back in a few.

Seymour, do you need to go?

Seymour, Kenny's leaving.

Seymour, can you wake up?

Why did he...

You're gonna need a valet

to move these cars.

No, we'll take my wife's minivan.

You drive with your seat
