much it's worth now.
It could be five,
it could be 20.
I don't want this.
I don't even like it.
I'm not gonna hang it up.
It's not for you to hang up.
It's for you to sell.
That way, I can give it to you
and you make some money,
and Debbie won't know
that I'm giving you anything.
You're not giving me money.
You're giving me a project.
I don't know how to sell this.
I'm not an art dealer.
I don't know.
Sell it online.
You know, do some research,
make some calls.
Or is that too hard to do
with your high blood pressure?
All right.
Don't get snippy.
Just because you write a great
song doesn't mean you can draw.
It's incredible.
John Lennon drew it.
I think it's a Ringo.
Don't beat me up if
I get $300 for it.
Don't take anything
less than $6,500 for that.
It's very valuable.
It's important to me.
I want you to sell
it so I can help you.
Okay.
All right.
I'll see you at my party.
What should I bring?
You want wine or something?
No, don't buy wine with my money
and give it to me at my party.
That's mean.
I love you. Bye.
All right.
How do I call eBay?
I mean, he called me a b*tch.
What am I supposed to say?
But I think maybe that
might mean he likes me.
I don't know. It's making me really...
It's really awkward.
She's so cute.
She's so tall.
I know.
How did that happen?
Do you ever wish we
had a bigger family?
No.
Never for a second.
Never.
Never?
Never.
I love what we have.
One? A breeze.
Two? Brutal.
Three?
Put a bullet in my head.
Ugh.
You know, I think about that
gray-haired pregnant lady from school,
and I just feel bad for her.
And I feel bad for the kid.
Can you imagine?
All the other little kids,
"Where's your mommy?"
"Oh, she's the one sitting in that
scooter, eating a soft cracker."
Kids don't want to
have old parents.
You know what? It would also be nice
for us to spend some time apart.
Kind of rediscover who
we are, individually.
It'd be so great to not
see you for a chunk of time,
so that I could
really just miss you.
Remember when we
used to miss each other?
Hey! Hey, you.
Yeah, what's up?
Hey, I'm Sadie's mom.
Sadie?
Sadie, the one you
chat with on the Internet.
No, man. That ain't me.
Well, it was you.
I saw your picture.
Did you make a hot list? And
not put Sadie on the hot list?
She was not on my list, no.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna make my own hot list.
And you know what?
You're on the not-hot list.
How does that feel?
It doesn't bother me. I'm
comfortable with the way I am.
Maybe you shouldn't be
so comfortable with yourself.
You know why?
You look like
a miniature Tom Petty.
How's that feel?
You think that
haircut's cool? It's not.
It looks like you put your
Justin Bieber wig on backwards.
Are you still
comfortable with yourself?
Why are you wearing
a tank top? Huh?
So you can show off your little bald
pits, you little hairless wonder?
Cool tank top,
man. Huh?
So next time you think about
writing something nasty
on my daughter's Facebook
page, just remember me.
Remember me.
I will come down here,
and I will f*** you up.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Wait a minute.
Hey, hey, hey!
Wait. You're not...
Are you crying?
Just let me go.
Oh, my...
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm not in my right head.
I understand. My mom's going
through menopause, too.
It's a hard time.
What'd you say?
Are you going
through menopause?
I'm not going
through menopause.
I'm not gonna go through
menopause for like 20 years.
I'm pregnant, you little b*tch.
God damn it!
God damn it!
I'm going out with Desi to find
out if she's stealing from us.
I've got the Graham Parker concert.
Who's gonna watch the kids?
I don't know.
Figure it out.
I kind of just wanted to talk.
to a coffeehouse or something.
You want coffee?
This place has coffee.
They have all kinds of drinks.
Um...
But someplace quiet, maybe.
This place can be quiet.
There's a spot in the back.
It's pretty quiet.
What sport do you guys play?
We play hockey.
Oh, I like hockey.
Who do you guys play for?
We play for
the Philadelphia Flyers.
So, you guys are
all from Philadelphia?
No.
Actually, none of us are.
Do you guys still
have all of your teeth?
Well, I got all my teeth
except these ones.
Do you want to try them on?
Yeah, I'll do it.
Go for it.
Do I look sexy?
Yeah!
Do you want to
make out with me?
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
They definitely look way better
on her than they do on you.
Here we go.
Thank you.
So, should we go
to the quiet area?
No, no, no.
Where are you going?
We kind of have to have a little
business meeting tonight.
Business meeting?
Girls, you gotta celebrate because
we won tonight. Let's go.
I want to party with these winners.
Come on, Deb.
Just come to the stage
and dance with us.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah!
Okay, let's f***ing dance!
Yeah!
Don't be shy, feel free to come
down and fill up these empty seats.
Thank you so much for coming.
This is so exciting!
For the first time
in over 30 years,
Graham Parker & The Rumour.
Where are his fans?
I mean, where are they?
It's hard to watch a band when you
know all of them remember D-Day.
What was
the press turnout like?
Oh. You're serious?
Nobody came. Nobody.
Nobody is here?
The guy from Green Day is here.
Yeah, Billie Joe,
I emailed him. He's a fan.
You gotta get a photo
of the two of them.
No, he says he doesn't
want to do any press.
He's just watching the show.
Oh, how punk-rock of him.
"I don't like photographs."
Grow up, Green Day!
Shut the f*** up, Tom Selleck!
It's so good you did this.
Pete, I wanted to let you know that I
got offered a job at Sony Records,
and I think I'm gonna take it.
I used to work for Sony.
No, I know.
They love you there.
Who did you interview with?
John Cleary.
I hired John Cleary.
He hired me.
What do you know?
He only had lovely things
to say about you.
No, he's a dick,
and he's gonna f*** you too.
Not if I do a really good job.
Really? I signed Pearl Jam.
You don't have, like...
I wouldn't call them
classically good dance moves,
but you left it all out there.
You're a blast to dance with.
Thank you.
We're having a little shindig
at the hotel after this.
You should come by
and hang out at the hotel.
You want me to
come to the hotel?
Yes, I want you to come
by the hotel with me.
Well, what would we do there?
Maybe we can find somewhere quiet and
have fun and kind of see where it goes.
Do it like adults
do sometimes and...
Like, sex?
I mean, if you want.
If that's on the docket, but
So, you would do sex with me?
"Do sex"?
What are you, Borat?
Are you hitting on me?
Yes, yes, I'm hitting on you.
You're hot and cool and nice
and you have beautiful eyes.
I'm sorry.
I'm married, I have two
kids and I'm pregnant.
That is what we call
the hat-trick. Wow.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
