Well, young lady,

you were a wonderful patient.

You take care, and I'll see you next week,

Counting the days, Joe.

Thanks, see you later.

(Kelly) All right, this is the Goodwill box,

- All right. - Oh, no, not those.

[laughs] These?

Why?

Um...

Honey...

I've never even seen you wear these.

And you know the rule.

If we haven't worn it in a year,

we're leaving it behind.

What if I get cold feet?

If you get cold feet, I'm gonna kill you.

How dare you?

All right, you pack your own things.

Uh...

Is she pregnant?

She's working on it.

Uh...okay.

Yeah, no--no problem.

I'll sign.

Good.

But you have to tell the girls.

Finalizing our divorce is one thing,

but starting a new family is...

something else.

Okay, all right.

Thank you.

Um...we want the girls there at--at--at the wedding,

[laughs slightly]

We got this big house,

a lot of rooms for everyone,

You're gonna be a grandfather.

- What? - Yeah, grandfather.

Running around the Bahamas with a half-naked stewardess.

Perfect.

Why didn't anyone tell me this?

(Sarah) Holly tried.

She called and called.

Is excluding me from my own daughter's wedding

part of that plan?

Well, I sent you invitations to graduations.

That didn't seem to matter.

Wow, this is gonna add up.

That's a lot.

Oh, you learned that in business school, huh?

Yes, I did.

Well, thank God for insurance.

insurance will only cover a fraction of the cost,
