Follow me!

What?

- Sox!

- Celtics!

Ben Affleck!

She's not here.

Are you sure that's what she said?

I know where she is! Follow me!

She's not here.

Joel!

You are here!

I've come for you.

- It's too late.

- What?

There's nothing left for me here.

My flight leaves in an hour.

I have to leave.

Wait!

Molly.

I love you.

I don't know what

you want me to say.

You ran my business

into the ground.

No, he didn't!

No, he did not.

Molly, not only did Joel

save your candy shop,

but he also made it

possible for it to flourish

forever.

Forever.

This is the same guy who pooped in

his costume at the Halloween party?

That's right.

Thank you, Joel.

I misjudged you.

Give me another chance!

I don't know how I'm

supposed to respond to that.

By saying, "Yes, Joel, I'll

give you another chance."

Oh, come on, Molly.

Give him another chance.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Wait! Then how about this?

I love how you make a goofy face every

time you don't know what to say.

I love how you order a muffin.

Joel.

Oh, Molly, I guess what

I'm trying to say is,

I saw those Groucho glasses

stuck to your face

and I promise I'll notice them

every single time you put them on.

Listen to me. If you're asking me

to give you a second

chance, the answer...

Wait!

Molly.

Frank?

- Frank, my old boyfriend. Remember?

- Right.

What are you doing here?

Where's Mia, the yoga instructor?

Thought you two had

eloped and gone to Paris.

She died, so that's over.

Marry me, Molly.

No, Frank. It's too late for that.

Okay.

- Anyway, my answer is...

- Molly! Molly!

- Oh, my sister.

- Molly!

Spike, your ex-husband and Tucker's

dad, just got released from jail.

And he knows about Joel, and he's

really pissed, and he's coming now!

What?

Oh, sh*t! Look out,

Joel! He's got a sword!

Oh, I'm gonna kill you. You can't

take my family away from me!

Joel, duck!

Yeah!

Good job, Joel.

You ain't seen the last

of me, Billy Joel!

You ain't seen the last of me!

Tell it to the judge, Spike.

You're going back to

prison where you belong.

I always loved you, b*tch!

And "good job" for Molly's sister

Katherine, too, for alerting us.

Thanks, everybody!

Oh, for cryin' out loud,

Molly, will you marry me?

And don't anyone interrupt

me this time, okay?

Joel.

I think maybe we're getting

ahead of ourselves.

Let's go get a cup of coffee.

Yeah. Coffee. That sounds good.

That sounds great!

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting

Cup of Joel!

That is a crazy story!

Told ya!

It's like a corny romantic comedy.

It is.

It was such a great beginning,

why did you guys decide

to get a divorce?

Well, things got pretty

rough after that.

Roland's promise to keep my

store flourishing forever,

well, it turned out to be a little bit

more complicated than we thought.

Long story short,

the store is gone.

And Cup of Joel basically crashed

and burned after a week.

I mean, it really wasn't anything.

And as much as little Tucker

loved havin' a new dad around,

he was pretty traumatized seein' his real

dad get shot in the face by the police.

The debts started to pile up and

I started taking pills

to numb the pain.

And then...

I started sleeping

with Frank again.

But enough of our sob stories.

The bottom line is,

we mutually decided

that we were better off

as friends than spouses.

- Yeah.

- There's no need to belabor it.

Let's talk about something

happier, shall we?

Karen, hearing this story

makes me realize that

I want out.

Seriously, I don't ever

want to see you again.

He's joking. You're

joking, right, Kyle?

Of course I'm joking!

What?

You are the love of my life.

That was such a good joke.

- Stop.

- I'm gonna leave you, you knucklehead.

Well, what do you think?

Should we give it another shot?

Why not?

I told you it was

gonna be a crazy day.

Have you guys seen that new

exhibit at the museum?

- Oh, it's so special.

- Oh, we missed it.

You can take the subway

there. One of the lines.

Only in New York, right?
