Negative, we don't have the angle.

Do a reverse Karachi.

Fine. Just get me close.

No! What are you doing? No!

- Trish!

- Got it.

Sh*t!

Drive, you idiot!

What the hell is going on?

I'm gonna be honest.

I am not a travel agent.

- Really?

- I'm not a cruise ship captain.

No sh*t.

Oh, my God!

- Oh, God.

- Okay.

Grab the wheel, please.

Girl, I've seen you drive. Take the wheel.

- I'm not gonna drive this car.

Turn around.

- Sh*t!

Tuck!

- I missed you.

- I know. I've missed you too.

- I love you, man.

- Love you too.

We're back.

- Oh, my God. I'm Yoko.

Good afternoon, I'm Susan

Walsh coming to you live from the studio....

- Mom.

- Yeah?

- Is that Dad?

- Huh?

Where are they going?

- Headed south on the 310 Freeway.

But that freeway's incomplete.

Three hundred feet, 200.

They're running out of road.

I hope you can forgive him, Lauren.

- He's the best man I know.

- Bollocks, mate.

You two belong to each other.

You really do, you belong to each other.

Thank you,

she's already made her choice.

No. No, I didn't.

- You didn't?

- You didn't?

- What?

- No, I mean, I did, but...

- In light of everything I found out, I feel...

- Tuck.

- It's bulletproof.

- The lights.

Shoot the headlights.

Front-impact airbag deployment

in all models after 2006.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Good.

- Yeah.

I'm okay.

All right, get a room.

We do not know how it started.

- I don't think he's a travel agent.

It may have involved

a German terrorist group...

...as well as two federal agents.

- Let me take a look at that, sir?

- No, I'm fine.

I was gonna tell you.

That's why I asked you out.

Yeah, it's okay. I, um....

It's good. It's good. I understand.

- Okay.

- It's good.

Does Joe know about this?

Um....

No.

No, not yet,

but I think he will in a minute.

All right.

I should... I should probably...

I should probably head off.

Okay.

Good.

Take care.

Hey, Tuck.

I'll, uh, take care of all this.

Thank you.

All right.

I'll see you... I'll see you in the office?

No.

I'll see you in the field, mate.

- Come here, you.

- Come here, you.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- You're family always and forever.

- Yeah. So are you.

- Take care.

- You take care of her.

So....

So when I added it all up

and I crunched all the numbers, it was a...

Shh. No more thinking.

You're gonna make me regret this,

aren't you?

For the rest of your life.

Did you see that? You see, it worked.

- It worked. You see that?

- What'd I tell you? Hm?

You happy?

All right, go get your sneakers. Go on.

- You're not listening to me.

- Mate, can I have a quick word with you?

That's it, stand up.

A brave man once said to me,

"Pain is weakness leaving the body."

Bye, weakness.

Weakness leaving the body.

You go on. Talk to your friends for a bit.

Hey.

So you're not a travel agent?

- No.

- Mm-hm.

Um.... This is me.

Hi, um, I'm Katie.

Hello. I'm Tuck. Pleased to meet you.

- Tuck?

- That's right. Yeah.

So nice to meet you. Finally.

- You hungry?

- Yes, I am.

Well, you wanna get some dinner?

As a family?

Yes, yes, I would.

Okay, good.

Okay, bud, time to go.

Hello?

Hey, babe,

you're using the vector chute, right?

Yeah, of course.

It's got high-tensile fiber

and triple-secure locking features.

It gets fives across the board.

Oh, God, I love it when you talk dirty.

Ha, ha. Oh, Nana's tomorrow night. Don't

forget to tell Tuck to bring Katie and Joe.

- Hey, Nana's tomorrow night, huh?

- Is that Nana you're talking to?

No.

Did you tell him yet?

- I'm just about to.

- Good luck.

I love you, baby.

- I love you, baby.

- Bye.

Ah! I'm gonna throw you

the best bachelorette party ever!

- Are you sure that we should do this?

- Have I ever, ever, ever steered you wrong?

- Brother.

- Yo.

I asked Lauren to marry me.

Will you be my best man?

- Jump run!

- Hey, you're good.

I know it's a little awkward with you having

slept with her and everything, but....

- Don't worry about it, Lauren didn't even...

- I just think it's poetic justice, right?

What is?

Well, I've been meaning to tell you this

for a while, but I slept with Katie.

Once. Long time ago.

Before you guys even knew each other.

- Slept with my wife?

- She wasn't. You didn't know her.

- You slept with my wife?

- It was a long time ago, man.

I never even slept with Lauren.

- What?

- I never slept with Lauren!

No, I only let you think that, right?

Think that, to make you jealous.

- You never slept with Lauren?

- You slept with my wife!

I need you to look.

In my head.

Before you came along.

Felt like I was dead

I got good love.

Rock 'n' roll.

Well, I met a sweet girl.

She blew my mind.

And we've been hangin' out.

Ever since that time.

We got good love.

Rock 'n' roll.

Oh, yeah.

Sweet, sweet love.

Sweet, sweet love.

Sweet, sweet love.

Sweet, sweet love.
