Really?

Now who's gonna brush me?

Dad is now the official cat brush person.

He's obsessed.

I am so happy to be

in our new home in Palm Beach.

-How beautiful does this feel? -SOPHIA: I love this place.

It's really fun

when we get to go to Palm beach

because it's the whole family together.

JENNIFER: Sly is home

for the weekend, and today

Scarlet is making her farewell lunch

before she goes back to college in Miami.

Yeah!

I'm excited to go back to college.

Can we make a pact

that you come home at least once a month?

I doubt I'm gonna be coming home, ever.

-[meows loudly] -Oh, boy.

-See, she understands. -[Jennifer laughs]

No catnip for you.

The distance between the house

and college is a good hour and a half.

Two hours on a good day.

-SCARLET: You leave tomorrow for set? -I do.

And I'm a little upset 'cause I'm not gonna be here.

-To move me in? -To help you move in.

-Yeah. -That's, like, a big deal.

It's okay. You know...

No, it's not okay, 'cause time is precious.

And so is that chicken. [chuckling]

SISTINE: Ooh, I got a good idea.

Let's make this the weirdest place setting.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I have a creative vision

for Scarlet's farewell lunch.

And I stuck with it.

Don't go in the other room.

-Why won't this stay on? -SISTINE: Keep going.

That's gnarly.

SYLVESTER: I happen to have this artificial heart.

It's from the last Ramboscene when I... [laughs]

did this job on my enemy there,

and I pulled out his heart.

Like, why not?

This will go here

'cause Scarlet has our heart.

I'm expecting the reaction to be...

heartless. [laughs]

SISTINE: Scarlet...

-table is set to the nines. -Oh, my God.

-SYLVESTER: Oh, no. Wow. -[Jennifer laughs]

JENNIFER: Wowza, wowza, wowza.

SYLVESTER: Are you hungry?

SCARLET: No, no, no. That's so unappetizing.

SOPHIA: Scarlet, you have our heart.

Oh...

I'm gonna miss you guys so much.

Martha Stewart would be so proud.

When I went to college, I never went to one party.

Not one. I had a couple of friends

and we used to hang out and feed the squirrels

-during the day. [chuckles] -That's your college experience?

This is horrible. This is the worst story ever.

I lost my appetite.

I know. Thanks.

I was not very scholastic, to say the least.

I had a .89 grade point average.

SOPHIA: You didn't have a one point something?

Not even one point.

But at the very end of the first year,

I had a 3.5.

-That's amazing. -There you go.

That's because we stole the exams.

-Oh. -Okay.

[Jennifer laughs]

SYLVESTER: It was on the fourth floor,

so there were some young mountain climbers

and I hired them,

so they climbed up the balconies,

took the exams, brought them to my room.

-SISTINE: okay, that is wild. -That is wild.

You should write a movie about this.

No, it's just a normal day.
