So how do we feel about these aviators?

I think I look great,
like a business pilot.

They're a bit serial killer-y.

Okay. Good feedback.
Tad harsh, but fair.

So then, how about these
browline clubmasters?

Style on top, substance down below.

Have you considered a monocle?

You could be like Mr. Peanut!

What's up with the glasses anyways, Dad?

You're always touting your 20/20 vision.

Well, I'm excited to report

those clear-seeing days are over

because I'm turning 40!

The age one's vision
officially begins to fail.

I will never fail an eye exam

because I have memorized
the letter board.

E, F-P, T-O-Z,

P-D-L-E, D-E-F-Z-C,

F-C-Z-D-E-P.

Well, I'm excited for glasses.

I can finally look as wise as I feel.

The waiting's the hardest part.

See? Wisdom.

Glasses or no glasses,

how are we gonna
celebrate your birthday?

I'm thinking

- yacht ride.

I've already decided
on the perfect plan.

Camping!

Dad, have you ever been camping before?

- No.
- Then where did this come from?

I just watched "Legends of the Fall,"

and I can't stop thinking about it.

The big sky, the rugged land,

the raw emotions, and then it hit me.

I want to spend my 40th
in the great outdoors.

Is this like when you watched
the movie "Roger Rabbit"

and wanted a rabbit?

No, I just think it'll be fun to explore

the frontier as a family.

What kind of role does
the mother character

play in this film? Mm...

None, really. She abandoned the family.

Perfect.

So no camping for me
in this reenactment.

Such a shame.

Jessica, you can't...

[Chuckles]

You know what? It's fine.

I'm just happy to be playing at all.

Marvin doesn't play?

I thought he was in the Navy.

I got this for Marvin's
birthday one year,

and he totally freaked out.

He said, "There's no way four
shots could sink a battleship."

- Hmm.
- Oh, speaking of birthdays,

what did you get Louis for his 40th?

What I always get him.

A tie.

A tie?

Don't you want to get him
something a little nicer?

I thought about getting it monogrammed,

but I don't like his initials.

I just mean turning 40 is a big deal.

If this were the Middle Ages,

he'd be the oldest person in the world.

Well, it's not the Middle Ages.
Everyone turns 40 these days.

You hit triple digits,

You sunk my destroyer.
That's the last of my fleet.

What are we gonna do about
Dad's terrible camping idea?

I guess we suck it up.

I'm already practicing
my fake enthusiasm.

"Whoa, if that's Orion's
Belt, where are his pants?"

No way. I'm not spending
my weekend outside.

I can't pee when I know there
could be animals watching.

Exactly. Camping is hard,

and birthdays are supposed to be fun.

What choice do we have?
It's Dad's birthday.

He gets to decide.

That's why we have to convince him

to decide to do something else,

like throwing a party.

Ooh. Bring on the birthday
cake and Shirley Temples.

Man, I love Shirley Temples!

That was real enthusiasm!

Then we're agreed.

What Dad really wants
to do is have a party.

Great because I am not
sleeping on the ground.

You think this posture just happens?

♪

[Door opens, closes]

Honey, I know you're pregnant again,

but we need to set limits
on your cravings-requests.

I was just here...

Have a seat, Jessica.

Marvin and I were talking,

and, out of love,

we wanted to discuss
your gift-giving habits.

Think of this as an intervention.

A-A conversation.

We're worried you're not
putting enough thought

into Louis' birthday gift.

You should get him something

a little more personal than a tie.

Mm-hmm.

- Like the game "Battleship"?
- Please don't...

Ugh, I think that
"Battleship" is a trash game.

Here we go.

To reduce the Navy to a plastic grid

of numbers and letters.

What a farce.

Sweetheart, it's a classic
game. Everyone loves it.

Oh, does everyone know
how vast the ocean is?

How complex?

It's a living, breathing organism,

for goodness' sake.

Back to Louis' birthday gift...

I know my husband,

and I know he doesn't want
a fuss made over him,

so no big parties.

No horse that does tricks.

No sentimental gifts from me.

But the 40th is different, Jessica.

You... You begin to see life
in an entirely new way.

Like my old diesel mechanic used to say,

"On that day, you're not over the hill.

You're on top of it."

That's beautiful, sugar bear.

- I miss that garage.
- Aww.

I grew up there

in ways that I should
probably keep to myself.

So what did you get Louis?

Oh, I got him a top-of-the-line,

American felling ax.

It represents the importance
of exploring the world

and building a life no
matter how old you get.

Well, if you're such gift experts,

what did you get Marvin
when he turned 40?

Uh...

I was 8.

So nothing then.

♪

Hey, boys.

I'm getting us all knives

for whittling or maybe blood oaths.

Sounds great, Dad.

Also we were thinking
we could skip camping

and throw a party here
in Orlando instead.

No camping? But you
guys were so excited.

And I was excited to teach you
guys things you've never done...

Build a fire, forage for berries,

hang our clothes on a
branch while we swim.

But, Dad, this is your big 4-0.

We should spend it celebrating
everything that makes you you.

To list... great friends, great food,

music and dancing.

You love dancing.

Weren't you the Cha Cha King of Taipei?

Can't dance in the woods.

I guess that's true.

I wasn't burning firewood in my day.

I was burning up dance floors.

You give me a soft
leather sole and a beat,

and I'd give you the world.

See? All we're saying is it's your 40th.

- You should go big.
- And think about it.

You won't get another milestone
birthday until you're 50.

And who knows where
we'll all be by then?

Evan: Yeah. 10 years from now,

I could be studying in Paris.

Or at the rate I'm skipping
grades, governing it.

Eddie: And I'll probably be coming
off the bench for the Knicks.

I mean, someone's got to foul Shaq.

I guess I never thought of it that way.

You know what? Let's do it.

I'd love to plan a party with you guys.

You sure you're down for this?

Is the hypotenuse the
longest side of a triangle?

- Yes. The answer is yes.

I'm so glad we pulled this off.

ratio of grenadine to Sprite.

Two to one?!

Hey, who's ready to party...

[Thuds]

Is this all for one day?!

Well, technically, two days

should the festivities go past midnight,

which they will, if we do our jobs.

Wait. When did camping
turn into a party?

Oh, well, the boys had a good point.

You only turn 40 once. It's a big deal.

Anyway, I'll let you
boys look through this.

I can't wait to brainstorm
my entrance song.

I'm thinking "Louie Louie."

I thought he wanted to keep it simple.

Eddie: There are five

"Muted Champagne"?

"October Wheat"?

There's an entire section called "Vibe."

That's what caught your eye?

Not the tab labeled

"Coconut Bras... Question mark"?

How did this happen?

Camping sounded like a lot,

and Dad was into the idea of a party.

We thought it would be easier.

Well, you seem to have
this under control,

so I'm just gonna go to the kitchen

and check on dinner.

♪

[Door closes]

Honey, we have a crisis.

Louis does think his
birthday is a big deal.

You were right.

Maybe my giving him a tie
isn't personal enough.

This is nothing we can't fix.

All you have to do is give him
something from the heart.

Can I confess something to you?

Of course, Jessica. Anything.

I'm...

not a sentimental person.

Ah, yeah.

Well, lucky for you,

pulling heartstrings is a my jam.

It's time for you to learn
about the "Love Languages."

I went to the University of Maryland.

They're called Romance languages.

No, these are the Love Languages.

They're the ways that we express
affection to one another.

- It's all in there.
- Can you just tell me how it ends?

Mm, it's not that kind of book.

Each chapter covers a different method

for expressing love.

You just need to figure out
which one Louis responds to

and then match his gift to that.

- This really works?
- Yeah.

How do you think Marvin and I

got past the "Battleship" debacle?

Once I learned he values
"Acts of Service,"

I started making his day

by taping "Price Is Right"
when he was at work.

And then, when he learned mine
was "Words of Affirmation,"

he started writing me
the most amazing poems.

Ugh, this all sounds very
"flower person" to me.

It's "flower child,"

and there's nothing hippie about it.

Hey, Honey. Oh, hi.

I'm looking for a long, sturdy box.

The gift is hard to wrap.

I already picked you up a
giant bow from the store.
